Not sure if this has already been posted but I just saw it for the first time.  Kyrie doing these balance exercises; that is some serious core strength.   Never seen anything quite like that.

Kyrie is extremely athletic.

As a result he doesn't take as much punishment at IT did.

Looks like Michael Jackson in the Smooth Criminal video.  Irving sure has a million injuries for someone who doesn't take much punishment.

This and him dribbling while standing on basketballs were both fake viral videos for his “black magic” sneakers.  Shot the same time as the commercial with his dad.  You’ll notice all the basketballs are Nike instead of official Spaulding.

I don’t think kyrie takes less punishment because of his athleticism.  And I wouldn't say that kyrie is a better pure athletic either. 

Basically, their games are different.  IT seeks out contact (a la harden), which is why he gets to the line so much.  He’s great at it actually.  Kyrie, on the other hand, avoids contact.

Well here’s a real highlight video for whoever hasn’t seen it.  First half is Kyrie with the Cavs and his run through the finals, second half is all Celtics.  It’s actually really well made and has some really nice moves.

Yeah looking through his channels he’s got endless videos on pro stars of every sport, pretty impressive.
