Thanks to his electrifying offensive game, Kyrie Irving is one of the most marketable players in the NBA. Accordingly, Irving ranked fourth in the league in jersey sales last year.
There are plenty of Kyrie Irving Cleveland Cavaliers jerseys still floating around. One fan in Philadelphia threw his on for the Celtics’ preseason game against the 76ers Friday night.
Irving spotted the kid after the game and dapped him up. Then he took off the sneakers he had worn in the game, signed them, and gave them to the young man.

“You’re my favorite basketball player,” the boy told Irving.
Irving has looked good thus far in the preseason. Friday, he scored 21 points in 25 minutes in the Celtics’ 110-102 win.
He led Boston in minutes, points, field goal attempts, and three-point attempts. He also deserves to have a few assists added to his total after dishing out an unforgettable memory to this kid.
