Memories of Allen Iverson: Kyrie Irving's 57 point performance

Kyrie Iverson
Kyrie Irving looked like Allen Iverson in his prime against the San Antonio Spurs.  Ohio.com reports that Irving scored 57 points, including a remarkable 3-pointer at the buzzer to force overtime and the Cavs beat the San Antonio Spurs 128-125.  Irving reminded us how dangerous an effective crossover can be.  I immediately thought of Iverson as Kyrie showed his amazing ball control and his fearless shooting.  Irving's speed is also on the same level as Iverson's.  The addition of J.R. Smith has done something to Irving's confidence.  If there is one person that could teach a younger player to be confident it is definitely J.R.



Throwback
For those of us who are old enough to remember Iverson's NBA career:

Journey-Man James Dau Voire states, “I’ve mastered the art of bouncing back.” LeBron James has lost in the NBA Finals four times and the latest one weighed on him heavily: “It would hurt a lot easier if I just didn’t make the playoffs and I didn’t have a shot at it.” Paul Coelho’s novel The Alchemist focuses on fulfilling your “Personal Legend,” and chasing your dreams.   The novel follows a boy named Santiago in his journey to Egypt after he has a recurring dream of finding treasure there. Coelho states, “Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.   And that no heart has suffered when it goes in search of its dreams.” LeBron James is on his third journey for the treasure he desires.   James is one of the few NBA superstars that is not afraid of failure.   After losing in the NBA Finals four times, James knows that “it’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.” No-Journey Jordan Michael Jo
