Kyrie Irving's highlight tape is unrivaled when it comes to ball handling and crafty finishers around the rim.
He's established himself as one of the league's best point guards and will be a Hall of Famer when he retires from basketball. He's essentially done it all — All-Star appearances, All-NBA nods and even raised the Larry O'Brien trophy.
Despite some unevenness, Irving has exceeded expectations throughout his career — which were always set high after he was the No. 1 pick in the 2011 NBA Draft. Now, the 13-year veteran is back in the NBA Finals with the chance of adding another NBA championship to an already impressive resume.

How many rings does Kyrie Irving have?
Irving won one championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016. This title was one of the more memorable championships in recent memory for many NBA fans.
It was Cleveland's first major sports title in 52 years, and the point guard helped LeBron James fulfill his promise of bringing a title to the city. The series included multiple heroic moments, from James' block to Irving's last-minute, go-ahead 3-pointer over Stephen Curry.
Irving has been to three NBA Finals, all with the Cavaliers (2015, 2016 and 2017). He fractured his kneecap during Game 1 of the 2015 Finals, which sidelined him for months.
He played in all seven games in 2016, winning the championship, but he lost to the Warriors in five games in 2017. All three appearances were against Golden State.
