2014 NBA All-Star Game's Greatest Dunks, Crossovers, Passes and Other Highlights
In a game that featured tons of highlight plays from LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin and Carmelo Anthony, the Cleveland Cavaliers' Kyrie Irving stole the show.
He scored from all over the floor and made more than one defender look foolish with his handles on the way to 31 points and 14 assists.
The massive double-double earned Irving MVP honors.
But he wasn't the only one who provided butts-out-of-the-seats-level highlights during the NBA's 63rd annual All-Star Game.
