Kyrie Irving of the Dallas Mavericks was at it again on Friday night.
The 32-year-old guard had an incredible closeout game against the Los Angeles Clippers, scoring 30 points and 6 rebounds on the way to a 114-101 win.
Many people praised Irving’s work in Friday’s game, including Jamal Crawford.
The former NBA star hopped on Twitter to post, “I don’t care how some try and cut it- but Kyrie Irving is one of the best players to EVER touch a basketball.”

Irving was all over the court during Friday’s game and posted some sensational shots.
Once again, the defense wasn’t able to minimize him and he led the entire game with his 30 points.
This isn’t the first time that Irving has been the most important player on the Mavericks’ roster.
He often works seamlessly alongside Luka Doncic but sometimes he is the MVP for Dallas.
This is his first full year playing for the Mavericks and Irving has slid into the rotation and plans of the team.
Now that Irving helped put the Clippers away, he and his team have a much tougher job: beating the top seed in the West.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are waiting for the Mavericks and they will play harder and faster than the Clippers did.
But Irving’s years of experience and time in the playoffs might give him the upper hand.
Friday night’s game was yet another example of the amazing skills of Irving and it left a ton of people wildly impressed yet again.
Now it’s time to see if he can continue to impress as his team moves onto the next round of the postseason.
