Kyrie Irving's stellar NBA Finals performance was somewhat overshadowed by the historic output of teammate LeBron James, but Irving getting his first ring and hitting the game-winner in Game 7 just a year after he was knocked out of the Finals and watched from the hospital was one of the best sports stories of the year. Irving is now preparing to head to Rio, where he'll play for Team USA alonside three Warriors that he just beat for a championship.

Irving's alter-ego Uncle Drew appeared in a new Pepsi ad released Tuesday celebrating Kyrie's amazing comeback.
