How Tall Is Kyrie Irving? When Does He Start His Career?

On March 23, 1992, Kyrie Irving was born in Melbourne, Australia. His parents are American ex-pats, even though he was born in Australia. Irving returned to the United States with his two sisters when he was two. Irving’s father was a skilled basketball player in his era who attended Boston University during his college career. Then, he participated in the Australian Basketball League as a professional.

Kyrie Irving’s mother died from a disease when he was four. As a result, Irving’s aunts were very important to his upbringing. Irving was raised in West Orange, New Jersey, after returning to the country. Irving was convinced that he would one day be an NBA player at an early age. Because of his father’s affiliation with Boston University, he frequently underwent training there. Later, he was awarded a scholarship to the university. Kyrie has dual citizenship and travel documents from the United States and Australia.

Kyrie Irving’s potential as a basketball player in high school was evident. He ultimately earned a position on the Junior National Select squad after performing admirably for his high school team. He was a member of the 2010 FIBA Americas Under-18 Championship gold-medal-winning American squad.

Irving was given a scholarship to Boston University but decided to go to Duke. In 2010, he had a promising start to the season until suffering an injury to his ligaments after eight games. He eventually got back in shape but only played a few more games before switching to the NBA.

When Does He Start His Career?

2011, Kyrie Irving declared for the NBA draft, and the Cleveland Cavaliers selected him. He had a strong rookie campaign and was assigned to the NBA All-Rookie First Team. Irving saw another considerable setback the following year when he broke his hand during practice after smashing it against a wall in frustration. Despite a successful hand operation, he returned to the club only to suffer a finger injury at the beginning of the season.

He took three weeks off to recover, rejoined the squad again and displayed his actual abilities by outscoring the New York Knicks by 41 points. He was given his first selection to the All-Star squad as a result. He maintained his strong play throughout the 2013–2014 campaign, which led to the Cavaliers offering him a hefty contract extension.

Irving had a solid season in 2014–15, as he accomplished remarkable things, like scoring 55 points versus Portland. His knee injury during Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors put an unfortunate end to the season. Irving had to take a three to four-month break from playing after suffering a significant kneecap injury. In the end, the Cavaliers also dropped the championship.

Irving returned to the squad during the end of the 2015–2016 campaign, but he swiftly established himself. The Cavaliers again faced the Golden State Warriors in the championship game after performing well throughout the regular season. After a long series, the Cavaliers overcame a 3-1 deficit to prevail 4-3 in the championship game. Despite Irving’s outstanding play the following year, the Cavaliers ultimately fell to the Golden State Warriors in the 2016–2017 campaign. He also contributed to the United States basketball team’s gold-medal triumph at the 2016 Summer Olympics.
