  • Story Text: NBA Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving showed stunning dribbling skills to his fans at an event in Taipei on Saturday (July 22).
    Irving took off his sneakers and gave them to a young Taiwanese player as a present after he lost a three-point competition.
    Irving hit the headlines last week after reportedly asking the Cavaliers to trade him in a meeting last week, astonishing the whole NBA and fans around the world.
    Irving, also known as Uncle Drew or Ankletaker, has been chosen four times for the NBA All-Star team and won the NBA Championship with his team mates Lebron James and Kevin Love in 2016.
    He averages 21.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 5.5 assists in his career.
