Kyrie is my number one favorite player and is currently on the Brooklyn Nets, my favorite team. Kyrie Irving was born in Austrlia but raised here in America. At the time of his birth, Kyrie's father, Drederick Irving, was a professional basketball player for a team in Australia so he was born there. Kyrie has a 5 year old daughter named Azurie Elizabeth and has included her name in some of his sneakers. If you would like to see some of his signature sneakers, click here! I have personally owned about 5 pairs of his sneakers and love them. Kyrie was drafted on June 23, 2011 as the Number one pick and played for Duke University before he was drafted to the NBA. He is 6'2 and is one of the best point guards in the league and to many is considered the the most offensively skilled player ever!
