A Filipino artist created a huge mural of basketball superstar Kyrie Irving, capturing the attention of both fellow basketball fans and the legend himself.
In a social media post, Maya Carandang, the artist behind the mural, shared a photo of his creation. The text within the photo reads: “Hi Uncle Drew, come visit the Philippines.”
Kyrie Irving then praised the artwork saying it is legendary and that he needs to be invited to be able to go.
“All I needed was an invite. Next year for sure. Thank you for the LOVE. This is Legendary,” Irving wrote in the comment section.
In another social media post, the Filipino artist also shared a clearer view of the mural taken by a drone. The artist said that the mural is located in Brgy. Pagdaraoan, San Fernando, La Union in the Philippines.
