Kyrie Irving has been one of the best stories of the 2023-24 season.

The 2016 NBA Champion was traded to the Dallas Mavericks (in 2022-23) after a disappointing tenure with the Brooklyn Nets.

After missing the NBA playoffs last year, the Mavs bounced back in a huge way and are currently in the Western Conference Finals.

Recently, Irving was named as the Handle of the Year winner.

Via The Dallas Mavericks: "Handled business all season long.

@kyrieirving is your #NBAFanFavorites Handle of the Year winner 🥇"
