Kyrie Irving has yet to reach the veteran years of his career and is already an accomplished multiple-time NBA All-Star, the recipient of the 2012 Rookie of the Year Award, the 2014 NBA All-Star MVP, and an NBA champion at that. Not only that, but Kyrie went to the NBA Finals at a very young age while most NBA players retire without ever having a chance at an NBA championship.However, he would tell you these accolades are par for the course. As he was told by his father, Stay hungry and humble. This proverb is what continues to drive Kyries relentless work both on and off the court. In a league dominated by incredibly talented point guards, there is no choice for aspiring athletes but to be great. For Kyrie, his buttery-smooth ball handling along with his knack for acrobatic finishes around the rim make him stand out from his contemporaries.Irvings game is crafty and elegant. He keeps opponents guessing from the top of the key right down to the bucket. His powerful dribbling ability and superb ambidexterity allow him to keep defenses on their heels. While the 24- second shot clock is ticking, Irvings collection of moves seems to be endless. He zigzags like a chess master. He keeps defenders on their heels and in anticipation of the inevitable and unavoidable show that Irving’s hands can do.Tags: Kyrie Irving, LeBron James, Kevin Love, Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, Duke Blue Devils, Duke Basketball, Stephen Curry, Isaiah Thomas, Gordon Hayward, Derrick Rose, Austin Rivers 13 year old son loves reading about KI...great book.

The elite world of sports capitalizes on the athleticism of Black men while also attempting to control them. This dissertation interprets over the span of 100 years specific virtuosic and improvisational movements performed by basketball players as acts of radicalism oriented towards a kinetic knowledge of freedom. By adopting basketball as an embodied art that utilizes improvisation, costumes, an ensemble and stage, the project highlight ways in which sport and the performing arts intersect. It particularly foregrounds the crossover—various configurations of handling the basketball to keep it away from the opponent—performed by ii specific players as a Black imperative through its aesthetic structures akin to African American aesthetic structures found in the jazz tradition.
