Kyrie Irving went off for a career-high 60 points and broke the Nets franchise record just one day after Karl-Anthony Towns dropped a 60-point game himself. The 29-year old had an unreal 41 points at the half and NBA Twitter was going crazy.
NBA players, media members, and fans legit thought Irving would actually break Kobe Bryant’s 81-point game mark.
Ky stop it man!!! Actually don’t 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Still can’t get over the fact that we are being robbed of Kyrie Irving’s prime.

Kyrie Irving, who is unvaccinated and isn’t allowed to play in New York City because of covid health protocols, scored 60 points in 35 minutes tonight on the road in Orlando. I don’t know guys, seems like he’s pretty healthy to me.
