Watch: Kyrie Irving pulls off a magic trick on 7-foot-4 Victor Wembanyama

Kyrie Irving is quite possibly one of the most skillful players the NBA has ever seen. Many players and analysts have been fascinated by how "deep his bag" of tricks is. Irving pulled off one recently against Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs.

With around seven minutes left in the third quarter, Luka Doncic grabbed a rebound and quickly gave the ball to Irving. The one-time NBA champion started the fast break but was quickly met by Wembanyama's long arms.

However, it didn't deter Irving, who pulled off a crazy hesitation move to get away from Wembanyama. The Spurs rookie's length still bothered the Mavericks star, so he had no other choice but to modify his shot. It was a crazy no-look reverse layup that got the Dallas crowd going.

Here's the video of Irving's shot:

It was another impressive move by Kyrie Irving given how good a shot blocker Victor Wembanyama is. The San Antonio Spurs star was coming off a 10-block game, so he was likely feeling great heading into the game.

However, Wemby's length was no match against Irving's trickery. It will likely get replayed countless times and should make the daily top-10 plays. It was a great display of court awareness by Irving, who has his own way of making tough shots.

One of the reasons why Irving is so good at hitting tough layups is due to how he practised them growing up. Former teammate Iman Shumpert told the "All The Smoke" podcast last year that Irving used a backboard with missing pieces to find the right angles in making crazy shots.

Victor Wembanyama rejected Kyrie Irving for the first block of his career

Kyrie Irving was the first player blocked by Victor Wembanyama.

Kyrie Irving pulling off an insane magic trick shot over Victor Wembanyama might be a kind of revenge for the Dallas Mavericks star. The Mavs faced off against the San Antonio Spurs on opening week for their first game of the season.

Early in that game, Irving tried to score on the seven-foot-four big man, who blocked his shot to force a turnover. It was the very first block of Wemby's NBA career, which is a milestone for the young player.

Wembanyama is now among the best-shot blockers in the NBA today. With Irving playing in Dallas and Wemby in San Antonio, they will have plenty of battles in the coming years.

It will be interesting to see if Irving can pull off another magical shot over the long arms of Wembanyama.
