December 23, 2014Minnesota Timberwolves v. Cleveland Cavaliers: Behind the Box Score
December 23, 2014LeBron James graced the cover of SLAM Magazine’s season preview, but Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving isn’t far behind as the reigning All-Star MVP will be front and center of issue 185 which hits newsstands next week.
Irving is in the midst of a season that has produced the lowest usage rate of his four-year career, but the best true shooting percentage, assist ratio and turnover ratio. He’s a blossoming point guard with insane handles and the innate ability to get to the rim and finish with some of the craziest English ever put on a basketball. This cover story has been a long time coming as Irving elevates himself as one of the best in the game.
