Despite a long list of NBA legends that came before him, Kyrie Irving is reportedly holding a postseason record that puts him at the very top of that impressive list.
As relayed by ABC’s broadcast team during the Boston Celtics sweep of the Indiana Pacers, Irving has won 76.8 percent of the playoff games he’s been in, making that statistic the best in NBA history for a minimum of 50 games.
Although that record may come as a surprise, Irving was joined by LeBron James during his first three postseason runs, where he averaged 23.9 points on 46.5% from the field and 41.5% from behind the arc.
Irving missed out on all of the postseason last year after undergoing season-ending knee surgery, though he now has the Celtics in the 2nd rd awaiting the winner of the Detroit Pistons and the Milwaukee Bucks.
