This offseason has been busy and rewarding for Dallas Mavericks’ Kyrie Irving. Amidst rumors of him teaming up with LeBron James, Mavs secured Irving’s services with a $126 million, three-year contract. The 31-year-old has been in a good mood following this new big-money move by the Mavs. Quite recently, Kyrie shaved off his iconic frenchie beard and posted a story on Snapchat, calling it ‘peak handsomeness.’

As of recently, Irving has been spending a lot of time spreading awareness about spirituality. Most of his social media presence is dedicated to spreading his message to his fans. However, the new snaps he posted recently gave a closer look into the funny side of his character.
This was also a reminder of the fun and frolic of old Kyrie, like he used to be in the early days of his career.
People will agree that Kyrie Irving looks like a completely different person without his beard. And even he is aware of the new look and that is exactly why he has been posting several snaps, which is reminiscent of his old Vine videos.
In the caption of the snap, Kyrie wrote:
“Lol peak handsomeness but I don’t thirst trap.”

In the video posted on Twitter by a fan page, Kyrie can be seen making some hilarious claims, “I really feel like I’m heading into peak handsomeness…very smoothly might I add. Me shaving off my beard…I’m liking what I see.”
However, Kyrie clarifies that he’s not thirst-trapping through this video. The reason is that he’s happily married.
Towards the end of the video, Kyrie claims that this look is his authentic look in front of the world. He asks his fans to embrace the new Kyrie and take this snap as a ‘blessing.’
To an extent, this video is quite similar to the Vines he used to make in the early days of his career. However, we shouldn’t let his shenanigans off the court fool us about his dedication to basketball.
Kyrie is more than ready to showcase his talents in the upcoming season
An infographic shared by Basketball Forever recently showcased how Kyrie Irving hasn’t tasted much success since parting ways with LeBron James. Since leaving the Cavs in 2018, Kyrie has either lost in the first or second round of Playoffs or missed out on the playoffs altogether.
Kyrie took notice of this post and seemed determined to prove his critics wrong. In a reply to the post, Kyrie wrote:
“Pin this tweet and see what happens in the next few years.”
