Since joining the Dallas Mavericks, Kyrie Irving has found a renewed sense of energy and focus on the court. His resurgence helped the Mavericks reach the NBA Finals last season, where they finished as runners-up after falling to the Boston Celtics. While fans are well aware of Irving’s basketball skills, recently, many were surprised to discover another of his talents—freestyle rap.
Irving stunned fans during a recent Twitch stream by delivering an impressive freestyle rap that showcased his lyrical prowess.
“You hear how I come on the beat like I know what the fuck I’m doin’ though? Yeah. Boy am I inspirein’; hope for me to you. 24 hours to respond up in the booth. Comin’ up on Twitter, Twitch standin’ up on Truth. I don’t know, I got a two-dog coupe; it’s a Porsche 911. Some say I’m rollin’ on Cee-Lo, 7 beat 11,” Kyrie rapped.
“What do they call me? Lil’ all leavin’. I pour ah, man, I make you even, Stevens. I ain’t rappin’ bout nothing. I’m gon’ do something. Y’all hear me? I’m not a rapper, though. Y’all askin’ me to freestyle; I don’t freestyle like that. Or maybe I’m just workin’ on my craft though,” he added.
Fans were impressed by Irving’s unexpected rapping talent. For many, seeing another side of the Mavericks star was a delightful surprise.

Kyrie Irving Honors His Parents with the ANTA KAI 1 Shoe Design
The ANTA KAI 1, Kyrie Irving’s latest signature shoe, is more than just footwear. It’s a tribute to his Native American heritage and a heartfelt nod to his parents. During his recent Twitch stream, Irving also shared the deep personal significance behind the design of the shoe, explaining how his parents played a crucial role in its creation.
“It has my dad’s name, and then it has my mom’s name. My mom is a huge impact on my life, and she is a very meaningful ancestor that’s always around me, giving me guidance and just making sure everything is good on a spiritual level,” Irving said.
“Having somebody that gave me that other side of my creativity, the other side of my passion. I’m glad that they could split this first shoe,” he added.
With the ANTA KAI 1 on his feet, Irving will carry the legacy of his parents and his heritage onto the court in the upcoming season. Irving and the Dallas Mavericks are gearing up for their season opener against the San Antonio Spurs on October 24.
