BASKETBALL PHYSICS 101: KYRIE IRVING’S MASTERFUL MOVEMENT INFORMS THE KYRIE









(December10,2015)  The KYRIE 2 is designed and engineered to the specifications of the All-Star point guard.

Cleveland point guard Kyrie Irving pushes the boundaries of Sir Isaac Newton’s laws of motion in ways that Dr. James Naismith, credited with inventing the game of basketball, never would have imagined. This movement informs the unique architecture of Irving’s second signature shoe, the KYRIE 2, complete with a first-of-its-kind curved midsole and outsole, designed to enhance intense banking and cutting.

Here, John Brenkus, creator and host of ESPN Sport Science, helps explain Irving’s game through Newtonian physics.
