An excerpt from this biography book on Kyrie Irving's story:

In their early twenties, most people are just graduating college and seeking employment if not already working for a mediocre wage. But long before Kyrie Irving’s twenties were over, he had already become a multi-game NBA All-Star, the recipient of the 2012 Rookie of the Year Award, the 2014 NBA All-Star MVP, and an NBA champion with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kyrie went to the NBA Finals at the tender age of 24 while most NBA players retire without ever having a shot at the championship.

However, he would tell you these accolades are par for the course. Irving abides by his father’s advice to “stay hungry and humble,” words that drive Irving’s relentless work ethic both on and off the court. In a league dominated by incredibly talented point guards, there is no choice for ambitious athletes but to aspire to greatness. For Kyrie, his impeccable ball handling along with his knack for acrobatic finishes around the rim distinguish him from his contemporaries.

Irving’s game is decisive and crafty but maintains a degree of elegance. He keeps opponents guessing from the top of the key right down to the bucket. His impressive dribbling ability and superb ambidexterity allow him to keep defenses on their heels. While the 24-second shot clock is ticking, Irving’s repertoire of moves seems inexhaustible. He zigzags with speed and intention. In one interview, he said:
