HOUSTON – When Houston Rockets coach Ime Udoka watches Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving handle the basketball, there’s one thing that completely stands out from anything else he’s ever seen.
“He’s the best one-on-one player I’ve seen or coached or been around,” Udoka said prior to the Mavs’ 125-107 victory over the Rockets on Sunday night at the Toyota Center. “It’s not a one-off, it’s not a one game or every other game.
“It’s an every night thing. It’s an every practice thing. He does something that wows you.”
Udoka should know.
