Kyrie Irving’s athleticism has never been questioned, and at age 31, the Dallas Mavericks guard still showcases the same elite skillset and playmaking ability he’s had throughout his career.
But on Tuesday, after Dallas picked up a 113–107 victory over the San Antonio Spurs, Irving was asked about a dunk he had, and the eight-time NBA All-Star lit up about it. After stating that he believed it was his third dunk of the season, a mark Irving labeled as his career-high, he hilariously compared himself to Benjamin Button.
“Am I at a career high this year? I think I have three dunks—I’m three dunks in—I think that’s my career-high at this point,” Irving said, via Dallas Basketball’s Grant Afseth. “Did you watch the movie Benjamin Button? What if I’m getting more athletic in my 30s? That would be a heck of a thing, wouldn’t it?”
