Just like the rest of the NBA world, Jay-Z couldn't believe what he's seeing as Kyrie Irving put on a show for the Brooklyn Nets in their play-in game with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Irving exploded in the first half with 20 points on a perfect 9-of-9 shooting from the field, and he continued his exploits in the third quarter and punished the Cavs with his arsenal of moves at the basket. Jay-Z was certainly enjoying every bit of it, and his shocked facial reaction says it all.

It's hard to blame Jay-Z for that reaction, though. After all, even those fans watching the game on TV probably have their jaws dropping with the way Kyrie Irving played for the Nets. Just ask Bradley Beal and CJ McCollum who were both in awe of the Nets guard.

Irving headed into the Cavs game really confident, highlighting their ability to step up in high-pressure situations given that he and Kevin Durant have championship experience. He challenged his Nets teammates to get to the same level, which he believes would be key for them to win, and sure enough he led by example.

The Nets have a long road ahead if they want to win the NBA title with the group they have, but fans can certainly raise their hopes up with their two superstars leading the way.
