For those who simply may have forgotten, Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving reminded everyone on Sunday that he, too, is one of the best players on this planet.
Irving tallied a whopping 48 points, was 15-of-25 from the field, 3-of-8 from three-point land and 15-of-17 from the charity stripe while guiding the Mavs to a stunning come-from-behind 147-136 overtime triumph over the Houston Rockets. It was Irving’s best game as a member of the Mavs, and coach Jason Kidd acknowledged that the No. 1 overall pick of the 2011 NBA Draft has accomplished everything they’ve expected him to accomplish.
