Who doesn't remember the final minute of Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals, the shot by Kyrie Irving turned the whole game upside-down. Irving has always been ready to lead his team no matter how intense the game is.

Reading the defender and making them fall with some exceptional ball handling has been the biggest weapon of Irving's arsenal. Irving has the ability to either take the ball to the basket and make it count or just pass the ball even at the last moment. No one knows what he is going to do next.

Kyrie always relied on his basketball I.Q. and he is always ready to take the team's lead. He is never afraid of the big moments and is always ready to make the clutch shots. His basketball I.Q. is improving every year and in the current NBA season, we are watching him taking the driving seat of the Boston Celtics' train, and help the team to come on-track in absence of Gordon Hayward.
