Kyrie Irving Made A Big Announcement

Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving announced his decision to sign with ANTA Sports.

Kyrie Irving has been one of the most popular players in the NBA since he was selected with the first pick in the 2011 Draft out of Duke (by the Cleveland Cavaliers).  

This past season, the eight-time NBA All-Star averaged a sensational 27.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.1 steals per contest while shooting 49.4% from the field and 37.9% from the three-point range in 60 games for the Brooklyn Nets and Dallas Mavericks.     

Since he is such a notable player, his signature basketball shoe has always been among the top-selling. 

Recently, Irving announced that he is signing with the brand ANTA Sports.  

Irving tweeted: "Anta x Hélà x A11Even My purpose here on Earth is #BiggerThanAShoeDeal

Everybody comes into your life for a Reason Some people come into your life for a few Seasons But only a few will stick by you for a lifetime. I AM Proud to announce that I am Partnering with Anta as Chief Creative Officer.

In addition to the Mavs, Nets and Cavs, Irving has also spent time with the Boston Celtics.
