His fellow NBA peers wasted no time in singing his praises. Karl Anthony Towns who himself scored a season-high 60 points on Monday praised Kyrie.

Former teammate and Lakers superstar LeBron James, who has been dropping insane numbers lately didn’t even wait until the game ended and tweeted this.

Evan Fournier of the New York Knicks called Kyrie the most skilled player ever. High praise indeed.

Bogdan Bogdanovic of the Atlanta Hawks had a perfect remark for the Nets magician.

Bogdanovic’s teammate Trae Young, who scored 46 points against the Portland Trailblazers yesterday tipped his hat to everyone who’s playing at a high level.

Many thought that after the departure of James Harden to the 76ers, Brooklyn would fall off a cliff, but the recent performances of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving have made sure that one can only write off the Nets at their own peril.
