Former Blue Devils Kyrie Irving, Dahntay Jones Now NBA Champs

Although LeBron James richly deserved the MVP trophy after Cleveland won the NBA championship, former Blue Devil Kyrie Irving may have had the play of Game Seven: with the game tied at 89-89, with 0:53 left, Irving got Golden State's Steph Curry in a mano a mano matchup at the right side of the top of the key.

As great as Curry is, he's not a phenomenal defender and while he went up to contest Irving, he went up a fraction of a second too late to do anything about it.

Irving hit the shot to give Cleveland a three point lead.
