It turns out the MECCA court the Bucks and Celtics played on in Thursday night’s game didn’t bother Kyrie Irving very much after all in Boston’s 96-89 win. The point guard was downright slimy as hell with the ball, weaving around everyone and dribbling the ball everywhere. Just look at this:
These 3 plays show how impossibly good Kyrie Irving’s handles were vs. Bucks
Sheeeesh!

Holy crap. You might have missed it on the first watch, but putting the ball behind his back twice actually ran Matthew Dellavedova into an Aron Baynes screen. The dribbling had a purpose, and Al Horford had an open three because of it.
That wasn’t the only downright slippery move Irving had either. Malcolm Brogdon learned quickly that if Irving’s dribble is alive, he can’t be trusted.
I mean that defense was perfect. The possession should’ve been over! But Khris Middleton didn’t close the gap on the double team, and Kyrie found a way to the hoop.
It really just didn’t stop from Irving all game. These are 2K handles!
Sheesh, he’s been impressive in his post-Cavs days.
