In a short period of time, we've come to see how unselfish of a basketball player Kyrie Irving is...yes, you'd expect your point guard to be so, but he truly is a pass first, shoot second kind of player...you can see it in his make up...
For example, he threw 4 lobs in the Wine and Gold scrimmage, a pass that Chris Paul throws so well...it takes some skill, timing and anticipation...Kyrie says he has thrown that pass as long as he can remember, even to fellow 8th graders who could not even dunk...he knows that pass gets his teammates involved, not to mention the crowd...he threw 3 of them to Omri in the scrimmage...it's a great way to reward his big guys for playing D, or just flat out running the floor...
And we can all imagine in the near future, Kyrie sending high handoffs in the direction of Tristan Thompson...not only can the rookie from Texas get off the floor with that 7'4 wingspan, but he runs like a deer...Kyrie says the art is making a basketball play, then knowing where his teammates like the ball, right hand, left hand, or in Tristan's case above the square works fine...
The duo will be well connected!
