Kyrie Irving addresses viral balance video: ‘It's magic, man'

Kyrie Irving has addressed the viral balance video that took the Internet by storm last week.

The video shows Irving bending both forward and laterally in ways that don't seem physically possible. In fact, no one but Irving seems to know for sure whether the video is real or fake.

Here's the insane video in question:

Irving talked about the video on Monday.

"It's magic, man," Irving said. "That's all I can say. It's just magic. I'm just appreciative of Nike giving me the technology, my shoes, being able to capture that on camera."

When asked directly whether the video was real or fake, Irving's answer didn't exactly clear things up.

"I told you, it's magic," Irving said. "That's all I can say about it."

His teammate Marcus Morris doesn't know what to think either.

"Nah, that's not real," Morris said Monday before opening up to the idea it could indeed be real knowing the freak athlete Irving is.

"I mean, I don't know," he said. "Maybe. I don't want to steal his shine. I don't know. [Expletive], it might be real. But I've never seen him do that stuff, but it could be real."

Morris acknowledged that the balancing act may simply be something Irving does when he isn't around teammates.

"Guys come in at night, do their own thing," Morris said. "He might be coming at night and doing some crazy [expletive]. He already does some [expletive] on the court, that I'm like, 'That's crazy.' He might, he might not."

So, there you have it. Unfortunately, we may never know for sure whether the video is authentic, but we do know not to rule it out when Irving is the one involved.
