LeBron James returned to Cleveland to be closer to home, but was also intrigued by the help he'd have on the roster. Help like 22-year old point guard Kyrie Irving, who put on a show for the ages in tonight's game against the San Antonio Spurs.
Helping James get some revenge on his NBA Finals rivals, Irving scored a career-high 57 points, leading the Cavs to a 128-125 victory over the defending champs. The highlight came at the end of regulation, when Irving drained a tough 3-pointer to tie the game at 110. He was also responsible for 11 of the team's 18 points in overtime.
Irving's historic game went down in an all-new Nike Kyrie 1 PE. Aligned with the Cavs' alternate uniform, the shoes are navy-based with red and yellow accents. According to ESPN's Dave McMenamin, teammate Mike Miller now owns the shoes — autographed by Irving.
