Skip Bayless: Kyrie Irving is the Cavaliers' MVP over LeBron

Kyrie Irving beat the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day with a sensational game-winner over Klay Thompson, and Irving scored 14 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter as the Cavs erased a 14-point deficit with 9:34 to play.

On Monday's episode of Undisputed, Skip Bayless argued that Irving's tendency to deliver late in games has made him the team's true MVP.

"Let's go to the final play of the game. It's Kyrie bringing the ball up, going Russell Westbrook while LeBron goes to the far right corner of the the court with [Kevin Durant] on him and just says 'I'm going to be a decoy.'

Nobody who can be in the MVP discussion can get away with just taking a backseat in the fourth quarter to the other guy on his team. The MVP of the Cavs is Kyrie Irving. I would hate to see what would happen to LeBron without Kyrie right now."

"It’s one game, but we see right now: Steph Curry is no match for Kyrie. Kyrie can get to the bucket anytime he wants to, he can get any shot that he wants to.

…. There is nothing Kyrie can’t do. He can shoot the three, he’s good at the mid-range, he can get to the bucket with either hand. This young man is special. And I told you, Skip, the worst thing that could have happened to the NBA is that when the Cavaliers won and Kyrie hit that shot, his confidence went through the roof. It’s over."
