Basketball peers, football stars react to Kyrie Irving's big game

LeBron James, who scored 41 points himself, called Kyrie Irving's 41-point game one of the "greatest performances in [NBA] Finals history." Fellow athletes seemed to be in similar wonderment as Irving torched the Warriors as the Cavs closed out Game 5.

The social awe is easy to understand given the 12 points Irving poured in in the final period, including some impressive slicing and dicing.
