Irving, Questlove star in fiery new Nike spot

Kyrie Irving's new KYRIE 3s are pretty sweet, especially with how they help shoe owners on the court.

You know what else is similarly sweet? The Nike ad for the shoes. It stars the Cleveland Cavaliers guard and drummer Questlove, and the pair jam together, with the whole thing feeling like a scene out of Whiplash (more on that in a sec):

Was that 2014 flick the inspiration for the spot? From a 2015 ESPN story:

"It's just about the drive to be great," Irving told ESPN.com after the Cleveland Cavaliers' stirring 106-101 win over Chicago in Game 5 on Tuesday when asked about "Whiplash." It spoke to him so much that he's taken to writing the title of the film on his shoes before games during the playoffs. "It's awesome."
