Kyrie Irving is an "actual genius." If you don't believe me, ask him.

Irving cautioned it's a mistake to put too much stock in one win or one loss. For some, NBA happiness will always be day-to-day, depending on the box score stats and the bank account dollar signs and the team's place in the NBA standings and the court of public opinion.

"I've been playing basketball a lot longer than some of these people analyzing the game,' Irving says. "I'm an actual genius when it comes to this game.

"If you ask me about basketball, I will talk all day. If you ask me about spacing at the 3:33 mark of the second quarter, I will gladly explain it. I'll tell you what plays worked, about adjustments we make. But when it comes to personal things, or comparing myself to my NBA brothers, like, 'Do you think you are better than this guy?' I'm out."

That's his new nickname.

Kyrie "Genius" Irving.

Catchy, I think.

Imagine believing a guy who relies skill and not athleticism to be one of the best players in the game not a "genius" lol

If you think Kyrie Irving's game isn't largely based on athleticism in addition to those skills, I've got some ocean front property in Arizona to sell you.

lol...

Let's assume he stays 100% healthy... so you think Kyrie would still be effective at 36? Get the **** out of here.

Imagine blindly defending every Celtics player every single time they receive the slightest critique from an outsider because your primal tribal mentality takes over your rational brain. Imagine. Imagine, imagine, imagine.

I AGREE THE GUY IS A GENIUS AT BBALL.. Well at least offensively..

[warriorfan]

Kyle high iq Irving

[Real Men Wear Green]

On the court? Of course he is. It would be almost impossible for him to have designed a better game to maximize his scoring ability and he knows how to use his tools.

[SamuraiSWISH]

He is though


Imagine believing a guy who relies skill and not athleticism to be one of the best players in the game not a "genius" lol

[SpaceJam2]

Kyrie “an actual genius” Irving is probably the most delusional player in league history tbh...

Confirmed, I still remember that podcast with JR Smith where Smith was very careful about his words and trying to be PC in describing Kyrie Irving, but he said Kyrie Irving is a "very weird dude. Very different."

[MiseryCityTexas]

Rod Strickland was a better point guard than Kyrie.
