Social reaction to Kyrie Irving's 41-point game
LeBron James, who scored 41 points himself, called Kyrie Irving’s 41-point game one of the “greatest performances in Finals history.” Fellow athletes seemed to be in similar wonderment as Irving torched the Warriors to close out Game 5.

The social awe is easy to understand given the 12 points Irving poured in in the final period, including some impressive slicing and dicing.
