Nets fans owe a thank-you to Drederick Irving for one of Brooklyn’s most thrilling victories of the season. According to Kyrie, his father “told me to get my balance underneath me every time I shoot these threes.” Well, when Kyrie took a few dribbles to the right and hit Fred VanVleet with a patented snatch-back before raising up the shoot a majestic, game-winning buzzer-beater to give the Nets their ninth win in ten games...he had his balance underneath him. And he sent Brooklyn fans into euphoria.
There remains no greater joy than watching Irving operate. It is the pull-back of his boomeranging Brooklyn tenure.
