Social Media Users React To Kyrie Irving’s Historic Game-Winning Shot

The NBA categorized Kyrie Irving’s game-winning basket as a “driving hook shot” from 21 feet. Seriously, a hook shot from a 6’2” guard behind the free-throw line is absurd. Soon after to shot, Irving’s teammate Luka Doncic was spotted in disbelief, so much so didn’t participate in the team’s post-buzzer celebration.

KYRIE IRVING GAME WINNER MY GOODNESS. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Reporter: "[Kyrie Irving] thanks you for that three-pointer you made before [his game-winner]."

Luka Doncic: "No, no, no, that's about him. That shot is unbelievable. I couldn't believe it."

I jumped off my couch screaming after Kyrie's game-winning shot from behind the free throw line for the Mavericks over the reigning champs Nuggets!! It’s one of the greatest, if not the greatest, left-hand game-winning shot I’ve ever seen 🔥

Once asked Kai if he felt he’d mastered basketball

He said no.

So I said what is there left to work on and master

“Left handed hook shot.”
