The Brooklyn Nets are in Phoenix tonight taking on the Suns and they’re doing it without Kevin Durant (hamstring) and Kyrie Irving (lower back), who are both sitting this one out.
But that didn’t stop Irving from being the star of the night for his team. Well, actually, that didn’t stop his walking stick from being the star of the night.
What the heck am I talking about? Irving showed up to tonight’s game with his teammates and was using a walking stick as he walked into the arena. I’ve seen a ton of player entrances during my days of watching the NBA but this is the first time I’ve seen a walking stick.
And now it’s my favorite thing:
