NBA Finals loss against the Warriors juggernaut, Cavs guard Kyrie Irving had many taken aback with his demand for a trade. The grapevine suggested Uncle Drew wanted to move forward from the shadows of playing under LeBron James.

Kyrie Irving modestly ranked himself among the top 50 point guards of all time during a Twitch stream, surprising fans with his humility despite his undeniable impact on the game.

After a busy offseason for the Mavericks’ front office and players, Dallas is positioned to make another deep playoff run in 2025. The Mavs signed five-time All-Star shooting guard Klay Thompson to a three-year, $50 million contract, while Irving underwent successful surgery to correct his broken left hand and will be ready for training camp.
