Kyrie Irving received high praise from one of the best point guards in NBA history, Isiah Thomas.

Thomas, a Hall of Famer and two-time NBA champion, called Irving ‘probably the most creative player in the game’.

“He is probably the most creative player in the game. He is really about exploring the art and the artistry of the game – I relate to that [smiling]. I admire that,” Thomas told Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson of Heavy.com about Irving.

Irving is expected to be fully healthy next season and will team up with Kevin Durant in order to make the Brooklyn Nets title contenders.
