Kyrie Irving is no stranger to lighting the basketball world on fire with his slick handles, but the star point guard recently had everyone talking for a much different reason.
A video surfaced of Irving showing off some flat-out unbelievable balancing skills, ones that even the late, great Michael Jackson would be jealous of.
Ummm … what, @KyrieIrving? 🧐🧐🧐 pic.twitter.com/b290xT4Jch

So, Kyrie, how the hell did you do that?
“It’s magic, man,” Irving said Monday, per MassLive’s Tom Westerholm. “That’s all I can say. It’s just magic. I’m just appreciative of Nike giving me the technology, my shoes, being able to capture that on camera.”
Seeing that Irving is a magician on the court, it comes as no surprise that he’s not revealing his tricks.
While it’s a near certainty Irving’s stunt isn’t real, even his own teammates aren’t completely sure.
“Nah, that’s not real,” Marcus Morris said. “I mean, I don’t know. Maybe. I don’t want to steal his shine. I don’t know. (Expletive), it might be real. But I’ve never seen him do that stuff, but it could be real.”
To be fair, it’s pretty easy to balance when the Earth is flat.
