NBA Live is returning for the first time in three years and Kyrie Irving will grace the cover.

The new game will be available this fall for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 and will feature live stats updated every hour as well as “BounceTek” technology, which for the first time doesn’t make the ball go automatically back to your hand when you dribble for a more realistic feel.

Kyrie Irving attended the launch at E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) 2013, the annual video game conference and show at the Los Angeles Convention Center on Monday.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard, Kyrie Irving, celebrated his 21st birthday in Las Vegas on Saturday night, partying with Cookie Monster at Chateau Nightclub in the VIP booth on the rooftop. Irving spent his evening dancing and sipping cocktails with his friends and mingling with fans as they passed by into the early hours of the morning.

Kyrie Irving spent his Monday afternoon draining jumpers in the face of some local kids at Montclair State University in New Jersey – close by to where he went to high school.  Irving’s full court pickup game where he showed off the handles he used to drop a number of NBA defenders this past season was uploaded to YouTube and even shows the Cavs point guard putting on a show at the end throwing down some crowd pleasing off the backboard dunks:

Dion Waiters gave Cavs fans something to stand up and cheer about during the last home game of the season, despite the loss, as the rookie drove down the lane and grounded the Birdman with a nasty dunk during the second quarter against the Heat:

It’s never too late in the season for some good old rookie hazing. Some of the Cavs took a page out of the Nets’ book Saturday, filling rookie, Dion Waiters’, entire SUV with loads and loads of popcorn.

Wednesday night’s Cleveland Cavaliers-Miami Heat matchup with a tip-off time of 7:00 PM (ET) in Cleveland was delayed due to a reported leak from the Quicken Loans Arena scoreboard.

According to a tweet from Cavs owner Dan Gilbert, “Scoreboard is leaking fluid on to floor.We need to lower scoreboard to fix. Never seen this one before. Going to be several minutes to fix.”

While lowering the scoreboard, a repeated “beep, beep, beep” alarm rang through the arena and it was estimated to take 15 minutes to fix while players waited in their respected locker rooms. Cavs’ mascot, Moondog, tried to provide some comic relief, and walked around the arena with an umbrella.

UPDATE: According to a tweet from Sam Amico of Fox Sports Ohio, the scoreboard issue was determined to be “‘condensation from CO2 tank.’ Cavs have had scoreboard since 2007, say they have never experienced this.”

The game finally tipped off at 7:45 PM.

Kyrie Irving left Sunday night’s game in Toronto with a left shoulder contusion after a hip check from Raptors center, Jonas Valanciunas, sent him flying to the ground. Irving returned to the game to shoot two one-handed free throws before heading back to the locker room. The Cavs announced that the X-rays on Irving’s left shoulder came back negative and he’ll be re-examined Monday.

Greg Oden sat in Cavs owner, Dan Gilbert’s, courtside seats at Friday night’s Cavaliers-Grizzlies game and was cheered on by fans both times he was shown on the video board. Oden said he’s still interested in signing with Cleveland but will likely wait until the summer to sign with any team.

According to Jason Lloyd, Akron Beacon Journal:

Oden attended the Cavs’ game Friday as a guest of Memphis Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley Jr., his best friend since childhood – yet wound up in Cavs owner Dan Gilbert’s baseline seats adjacent the Cavs’ bench.

Oden was showed on the video board twice during the game as fans cheered and said he is still interested in playing for the Cavs despite not signing a contract yet.

“I live in Ohio. It’s home now,” Oden said. “They have a great organization and I really do think they’re up and coming…”

“Obviously the longer it goes, the more it looks like that” he won’t sign until summer, Oden’s agent, Mike Conley Sr. said Friday.

Kyrie Irving beat out Matt Bonner in the final round to win the 2013 Foot Locker 3-Point Contest at All-Star Saturday Night – Irving caught fire in the final round, scoring 23 and was just 2 points shy of breaking Jason Kapono’s record:
