It doesn’t take a genius to figure out Kyrie Irving is really good at finishing around the basket. He understands how to spin the ball every which way; he speaks basketball english in ways normal humans might not be able to. He uses the rim to shield the ball from shot blockers, he’s got floaters and reverse layups down. He’ll go around you, but he’s strong enough that, if he needs to, he’ll go through you. Here’s what’s scary: every kind of finish you can imagine, he can do just as capably with his “weak” hand.
Mr. Third team all-NBA has an outstanding off-hand and finishes with flourish. He’s got absolutely every trick in the book. This is just a small sampling of him doing what he does. It’s made to be a companion piece to the Kyrie finishing video. Link here:

While there are a few plays that appear in both, they are, without a doubt, the best ones. That is to say, I wasn’t going to be able to leave them off either and make the highest quality video I could make.
