VIDEO: James Harden Crosses up Kyrie Irving in Complete Exorcism of Uncle Drew
By Mark Powell
We've just witnessed the exorcism of Uncle Drew, and Kyrie Irving might never be the same. Irving's never been known as an elite defender, but we figured he might put up more of a fight when faced with the options of embarrassment vs viral infamy. Kyrie chose the former.
Harden is fresh off a 60-point performance, so he's feeling pretty damn good about himself. The Rockets are still learning to mesh behind Harden and Russell Westbrook, but moments like this, which surely get the bench out of their seats in a tough road environment, cannot hurt matters.
As for the Nets, this is just one of the negative of playing with Irving, though he typically makes up for his lackluster ability on the defensive end with a ridiculous crossover of his own.
