In a 113-97 win against the Utah Jazz, Irving delivered a fantastic lob dunk courtesy of a great pass from Luka Doncic.

After the game, the American joked about the dunk, saying that his teammates had not expected him to demonstrate such a play before it took place.

"Some of my teammates were laughing at me a few weeks ago when I told them to throw me a lob. Guess who's laughing now?" the superstar said with a smile.

At the end of regulation, Irving had 16 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, and just 1 turnover.

Following a rocky season last year, the guard looks more comfortable in his new team, averaging 25.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 5.3 assists on 49% field goal shooting this year.
