After missing the final five games of the 2015 NBA Finals with a knee injury, Kyrie Irving turned to one of his favorite players for some added inspiration. It was in Kobe Bryant's documentary, "Muse," where Irving discovered Bryant's love for the movie "Whiplash."
"I was like, 'Man, I got to catch that movie.' I had no idea what it was going into it," Irving told Geno Auriemma on the Connecticut women's basketball coach's
"Holding Court" podcast. "I ended up ordering it and watching it, and watched it over and over, and watched it probably about six times."
