Kyrie Irving has not had the type of impact this season that the Boston Celtics had hoped when they acquired him from the Cleveland Cavaliers.
That changed Thursday in a big way against the up-and-coming Milwaukee Bucks. Just look at this drippling exhibit and ensuing spin move the dude put on reigning NBA Rookie of the Year Malcolm Brogdon.
It’s an absolute thing of beauty.

Considered one of the best finishers in the game, it’s in no way a surprise Irving was able to score there at the hoop. Instead, it’s all about the absurd moves he put on Brogdon en route to the lane.
That shot gave Irving 13 points on 5-of-7 shooting in the first half of Thursday’s game.
