Irving will always be known for hitting one of the biggest shots in NBA Finals history, when he sank a sidestep three against the Warriors in 2016. He has been ridiculed in the past for comments that have made no sense whatsoever, but no one can deny that he is one of the craftiest players to ever set foot on a basketball court. In Brooklyn, Irving will have the chance to prove himself again with Kevin Durant by his side.
