Kyrie Irving becomes ninth player in NBA history to join 50-40-90 club

Kyrie Irving accomplished a rare feat following the Brooklyn Nets’ 123-109 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers in their season finale.

He became just the ninth player in league history, and the first since Malcolm Brogdon in 2018/2019, to finish the regular season averaging at least 50% from the field, 40% from three point range and 90% on free throws throughout an entire season.

He was limited to just 54 games this season due to injuries and other off-court issues, but ended the 2020/2021 campaign with a 50.6% field goal percentage, 40.2% three-point percentage, and 90.2 free throw percentage to go a long with 26.9 points, 6.0 assists and 4.8 rebounds per game.

“Phenomenal season from Ky” said teammate Kevin Durant.

“He’s a guy who can get it from anywhere on the floor at any time at that size is remarkable. Point guards that get 50-40-90 is just so much more impressive to me. I’m very happy for Kyrie, and I’m sure this won’t be his last time.”

Irving and his superstar Nets finished 2nd place in the Eastern Conference and will face the winner of the first play-in game between the Boston Celtics and Washington Wizards in the first round.
