Kyrie Irving is one of the best guards in NBA history.
On Sunday, the future Hall of Famer celebrated his 33rd birthday.
Via The NBA: “Join us in wishing @kyrieirving of the @dallasmavs a HAPPY 33rd BIRTHDAY! #NBABDAY“
One person who wished Irving a happy birthday was Los Angeles Lakers superstar Luka Doncic.
Doncic wrote (via his Instagram story): “Happy birthday hermano!!! @kyrieirving 🔥”
Fans will likely enjoy seeing the social media interaction between the former teammates.
They spent part of three seasons together on Dallas.
Last year, the duo helped lead the Mavs to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2011.
