The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Golden State Warriors in an epic finals rematch on Christmas Day, and despite LeBron James and Kyrie Irving making huge plays down the stretch, a lot of attention was given to 36-year-old Richard Jefferson who turned back the hands of time with two poster dunks on Kevin Durant and Klay […]

Kyrie Irving is reaching into his pockets yet again to pay for another of Richard Jefferson‘s fines, this time for winking at Kevin Durant after a left-handed throwdown during the Cleveland Cavaliers 109-108 come-from-behind win over the Golden State Warriors. The tech is likely to be rescinded by the league because of its preposterous nature, […]

Yesterday (Christmas Day), Kyrie Irving‘s long-awaited new signature shoe: the Kyrie 3’s, were released to the public.

After five years of being a Cavalier, Kyrie Irving has certainly earned every ounce of respect he deserves.

UPDATE: Sunday, December 25, 2016 at 5:30PM: Russell Westbrook, confused and relatively frustrated at the out-of-the-blue nature of the question, denied he said “Thank You Kyrie” while running into the tunnel during his pregame warm up routine.

“The Shot:” Kyrie Irving‘s moment in time that will forever be remembered in NBA history.

Some of you may have grown up watching Robert Horry […]

Allen Iverson took a subtle jab at the Cleveland Cavaliers for resting their ‘Big 3’ against the Memphis Grizzlies just last week. Like many players from past generations, Iverson is cut from the same hard-nosed, run yourself into the ground mentality that prematurely ended the careers of many before him. The Cavaliers rested LeBron James, […]
