Kyrie Irving is special. Despite not playing a lot this season, he has shown the league why he is the premier point guard in the league. And in the play-in tournament, he put the league on notice with a spectacular performance against the Cleveland Cavaliers despite fasting for Ramadan.

Irving put in a stunning performance as the Brooklyn Nets secured the seventh seed with a 115-108 victory. He scored 34 points and dished out 12 assists against his former team. This win secured the Nets’ spot in the playoffs and they will face the Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs. Kyrie will continue to fast during this holy month but he does not feel like he’s alone in this.
