During the 2010-11 basketball season, Irving was a member of the Blue Devils under head coach Mike Krzyzewski. He averaged 17.4 points per game on 53.2 percent shooting, 5.1 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.5 steals through the first eight games of the season. On November 10, 2010, he scored 40 points in a loss to North Carolina. It was the second highest scoring output by a Duke player this decade, behind only Jahlil Okafor's 49 in a defeat of Notre Dame in 2019. Irving was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the second overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft. He was also selected second by many other teams including the Boston Celtics, who traded him to the Cavs. This trade would become known as "The Best Trade In NBA History". In his one season with the Cavaliers, Irving helped them win the 2016 NBA Championship after losing to the Golden State Warriors in seven games in 2015. He was named MVP of the series after averaging 28.0 points, 4.5 assists, and 3.5 rebounds throughout the series. After one season with the Cavaliers, in which they failed to make the playoffs, Irving joined the Boston Celtics. He had been traded there from the Cavaliers in exchange for Kevin Love. Love ended up leaving the Cavaliers after one season to join the Celtics.
