CLEVELAND — Cleveland’s smooth, playmaking point guard, Kyrie Irving has been chosen as the NBA’s Rookie of the Year.

Irving’s selection is hardly a surprise since the 20-year-old led all first-year players in scoring — 18.5 points per game — and renewed hope for Cleveland’s franchise. He’ll receive the award Tuesday.

Irving is the second Cavaliers player to win the award, joining LeBron James in 2004.

Irving’s is the final postseason award to be announced by the league.

Irving recently treated himself to a postseason vacation in the Bahamas. In June, he’s expected to play on the Cavs summer league team in Las Vegas and will be part of a U.S. Select Team which will train against the American Olympic team going to the London Games.
