There's no doubt that Kyrie Irving is a great player, and no one would ever forget his clutch three-pointer in Game 7 of the 2016 Finals that gave Cleveland its first ever NBA title.

He's the first overall pick of the 2011 Draft, a Rookie of the Year recipient, a four-time All-Star, an All-Star Game MVP, a FIBA World Cup MVP and an NBA champion.

Despite all these facts, however, it seems that our basic knowledge about the 25-year-old point guard is a little lacking – at least if this surprising and funny definition of the Urban Dictionary about Irving is to be considered.

The popular site shouldn't be taken seriously, but those who wrote that entry are probably thinking right now that Cleveland got robbed when they agreed to trade Irving to Boston for Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and a Brooklyn Nets pick.

That is clear with the UD description further reigning praises for Irving:

“Kyrie agreed to let Lebron come to cleveland to help him win a championship, while he didn't really need help. Who needs a team when you have Kyrie? Kyrie could take on Team USA, The Dream Team, and the past 40 NBA Championship teams, 700 to 1. As soon as the ball touches the ground everyone within a 10 foot radius looses all feelings in their ankles, scientists tried to figure out the cause of this.”

Celtics' co-owner Wyc Grousbeck has previously said that he believes Irving is a “transcendent player,” but he's obviously more than that for the Urban Dictionary.

Although it's still unknown if Skip Bayless was involved in this given his high praises for the Duke product, one thing's for sure: Kyrie is an “Urban” legend.
