Kyrie Irving’s Reaction to Buzzer Beater Was Pure Joy, and NBA Fans Loved It

Kyrie Irving NBA Kai (Person) Mavericks Him Dallas Mavericks

Kyrie Irving dazzled the NBA world Sunday afternoon, nailing an absurd buzzer-beating shot over Nikola Jokić to lift the Dallas Mavericks past the Denver Nuggets.

With the game tied at 105 and 2.8 seconds left to play, Irving took an inbounds pass in the right corner and dribbled around the horn to the top of the lane, where he lofted a running left-handed prayer over the outstretched left arm of the 6’11” two-time NBA MVP.

Ballgame.

Irving’s reaction afterward was almost as good as the winning shot. In a video shared by the Mavericks on social media, a joyous Irving can barely find the words to describe the emotional rush.

“Oh my gosh,” Irving said, seemingly in disbelief. “Oh, that’s incredible. That is incredible.”

Irving is then greeted by teammate Josh Green and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who sat courtside at the game with his wife, Brittany.

NBA fans loved it.

In the Bible, angels can be deadly. So why do we place them at the top of our Christmas trees?
Those beautiful white and gold angels you see on Christmas trees were originally monsters. At least, that is the claim made by scholar Esther Hamori in her book God’s Monsters. Hamori writes that angels “have acquired the soft-edged glow of a Hallmark card, but are some of the deadliest shapeshifters…
