Duke in the NBA: Kyrie Irving dazzles in Celtics loss

Kyrie Irving‘s days as a Duke Blue Devil were limited as he was only able to play in 11 games in his collegiate career.

However, Irving was able to show signs of greatness in his small sample size which proved to be enough for him to be the first pick in the 2011 NBA draft.

Now with seven years of experience in the NBA he could arguably be one of Duke’s best players in the NBA.

He has earned several accolades like rookie of the year, five time All-Star, and won an NBA championship with LeBron James in Cleveland.
