Kyrie Irving. NBA champion. 3x NBA All-Star. All-Star Game MVP. FIBA World Cup MVP. Olympic Gold medalist. NBA Rookie of the Year. Most outstanding off-hand in the game. It’s hard exactly to say who has the best weak hand in the entire league, but Kyrie Irving unquestionably belongs in the conversation. He’s committed to working on every facet of his game, and ambidexterity when it comes to finishing is no exception.
After losing out in the 2015 NBA Finals due to injury, he started off last season not entirely in shape (which is understandable because basketball shape is hard to get into when you’re relearning to walk). He spent the season getting himself right, and that really showed throughout the playoffs. He emerged as easily the best guard in an NBA Finals that featured a two-time MVP in Steph Curry, and one of the best two-way threats in the league in Klay Thompson. His range and capacity to shoot from deep opens up the rest of the floor for him and his teammates, his handle and in-between game lets him get anywhere he wants, and of course, the great Doug Collins calls him “layup king” for a reason.
