It has been a disappointing season of sorts for All-Star Kyrie Irving, who has failed to take a leap from last year and continues to play for a team on its way to yet another lottery in the upcoming NBA draft.
The Cleveland Cavaliers (23-36) have been terrible for much of the season, and Irving has received a brunt of the criticism, with some even comparing him to Stephon Marbury for being too selfish on the floor. Interestingly, they are still not out of the hunt for the playoffs. Thanks to being in an anemic conference, the Cavaliers are within four games of overtaking the Atlanta Hawks for the eighth seed.
No matter how his team does, though, Irving is still a popular star due to his ball-handling skills and the well-known “Uncle Drew” series. He recently filmed an interview session with comedian Pete Holmes, where he had the chance to show off his ability to sound like the character “Bane” from the movie “The Dark Knight Rises”:

The impression is spot on, but the rest of the interview? Rather awkward at best.
