I feel like Kyrie has evolved his game from being a super flashy player, to now a pure bucket getting
Broooooo I swear on Jesus Christ I was just telling my co worker this like he was flashier back then but he still had the same dribbling and flashiness ability but he’s like ok instead of 5-7 dribbles I can get my shot off in 2-4 dribbles
Man was slightly flashier but has always been doing this. Most fundamentally sound player in the league
He’s been like this
bucket getting what?
Kyrie is fundamentally sound with a streetball flair to his game id argue his devolpment as a player has stagnated bc he already excelled strongly in his strengths as a rookie
This truth about Kyrie Irving:
1. 1st pick class 2011
2. Rookie of the year 11/12
3. Fiba World Cup Champ 2014
4. Final MVP Fiba World Cup 2014
5. NBA Champ 2016
6. 8 times NBA all star
7. All Star game MVP 2014
8. Olympic Champ 2016
9. Most skilled player of all time
10. Best handles of all time
11. Only 31 years old
All facts!
Forgot 3 point contest champ
Honestly people will mostly remember Kyrie as just an elite handler. But to me , he is the best offensive pg/sg all time. His offense has no weakness
Best layup package of all time?
Who's better? Adjustments, angles, hands?
Most skilled is some bullshit
He’s been hooping like a top 10 offensive player in the world. HES ON MY TEAM
Facts
Very underrated player. We will never see him in a HoF because of casuals reading too much in the media. Ive met him at his Lakota naming ceremony. He is very down to the earth, very humble. Genuinely one of the most incredible human being i have ever met. I love you, Héla!!!
he will be on the hall of fame hes resume its way too heavy to not be in it, i just doubt if he will be first ballot because of the people who is voting
Lmaooo what he will easily be in the HOF
Somebody name something he has done outside of Cleveland with lebron. Lets be honest. He SHOULD be a HOF. But he left that behind when he joined Boston and then left Boston. He really should have continued with LeBron. They played great together. He left too soon.
He okaying great ball again. This his time now to make uo for everything if he can get luka to the finals win or loose kyrie would have made 3-4 finals and hit the buzzer beater in 1 to beat the 73-9 team. He has to het this team to the finals with luka to solidify himself
He has ROY, 5 allstars, 3 all nbas, a FIBA MVP, FIBA Title, 50/40/90 season, 3 PT Championship, All Star Game MVP, and Olympic Gold WITHOUT LeBron. That’s a HOF resume. Yall just be typing. Lol
@@rulerjayohenn3161smh lbj fanboys want to control the narratives around this man career, why do you guys stalk this man so much?
This version of Kyrie might actually have had a chance against Kobe lol
Lol cavs kyrie was the fast and shifty kyrie current kyrie is the Kobe kyrie
Kyrie is truly underrated now
Agreed
People only see the flash and think he's not accomplishing anything with the dribbles. This ain't Jordan Poole lol
“I think it goes without saying that they are not guarding that” had me dying
Your already my favorite creator, your vids have helped me so much, as an underused guard, I’ve learned alot
I'm really glad to hear that, keep up the grind bro!
Love this channel! Keep up the work man!
Appreciate it!
I've been looking for content like this
Welcome!
My favorite player of this era 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
It’s a trend to hate kyrie still top 3 guard rn and he playing better than curry and dame
It is reasonable to dislike kyrie.
Suppose a white nba player has this religious belief that black people are satan worshiper who want to destroy white people's society (similar to how kyrie believe jews intentionally stole the identity of Israelite from black people). Then his belief needs to be criticized regardless how brave he is, or whether the belief is religious. It is reasonable to dislike such person.
I wouldn't say that. Maybe top 10 but top 3 definitely not. Still have Curry, Dame, Luka, Haliburton, Booker, Mitchell, Fox and Shai who are all at that level or better than Kyrie top 3 is definitely overrating him but top 10 guard is in the realm of realism
@@GetCaughtLackingL take brotha
@@GetCaughtLackingkey words are right now, only Shai and Luka are significantly better
@@triggeredtrey how exactly?
Great job - thanks
Thanks for watching!
If he is 6”6’ he is the all time 🐐…no questions.
If he was 6'6 he still wldnt defend
Steph Curry is around the same height. If he was taller he’d be so much be- oh wait. Too bad players can’t grow taller to solve their problems. Maybe they should have loyalty to their teammates and not change teams like tampons
@@sjg4292who hurt u lmaooo
@@kairei146 I’m sick of people making excuses for Kyrie like it’s ok for him to change teams every time the going gets tough without even being a proven player as someone who could lead a winning team. No doubt he can ball but he hasn’t proven enough to constantly think he’s above everyone and never willing to work through any adversity like a Steph Curry would. It’s pathetic
This man is a legend. He’s more a 1b to Lukas 1a… to say Kyrie is comparable to Klay Thompson is disrespectful and just wrong
Luka is definitely better and the #1 but I would say Kyrie is one of if not the best #2 in the league but he's definitely not on Luka's level similar to with LeBron
Great video, Kyrie is definitely under appreciated in the league
Amazing breakdown, watched the whole video
Glad you enjoyed!
Kys game is so smooth
AS ALWAYS HOOP VENUE DELIVERS WITH A BANGER
Reason why the efficiency of the team offence is higher with Kai on and Luka off is because Kai always let the team flow and he follows by doing what the team needs. While Luka is doing the most efficient thing which also what he does best. No one is wrong but making teammates involved is gonna help the team better especially in a playoffs run.
God damn. I’m not b ball nerd but Kyrie to me has always been the best ball handler bucket getter since he joined the league man bloody love watching him. Fantastic video 👌💯
Well explained my friend
the intro is fun 🎉
I think Luka cares more about winning mvp vs a chip. To me kyrie makes Luka insecure because he’s more efficient and skilled. So when you see them play together kyrie is off ball and you don’t see luka looking for ky
This vid í really good
I never forgot how GREAT Kyrie is, but the video was a great breakdown.
People really forget how good kyrie is I could be biased because he’s my favorite player but still he’s insane
Agree with that
Nice vid kyrie a goat
he is my second favorite current player to watch and funny enough luka is my first lol i am loving the mavericks this year.
How do you feel about Pascal going to Indiana. How do you think he can help improve the Pacers?
Probably a video on that soon!
Definitely subbed
I have family in refugee camps all over Palestine and some days I don't feel like our lives matter but seeing Kyrie Irving with a Palestine scarf on after an interview one day warmed my heart and still I always think about it to cheer me up. Thank you Kyrie Irving.
People always forgot that kyrie was a three point shooting champ before
His also a Shooter that what makes him more threat he can take the shot in every angle bruh his so useful if his the taking the shot if the game is crucial
We gotta get him too all star this year
great
i assume the jordan hawkins video is in production ?
I might have to start
🔥🔥🔥
hes my fav basketball player
Man im glad he ended up somewhere that appreciates him but i still cant help but wonder whay Kyrie to the Lakers would look like. Lebron AD and Kyrie fixes any problems the Lakers offense has and he’s well aware of how to play with Lebron
I cant expect to know exactly how he feels but i feel kyrie has always been insecure about being in Lebrons shadow. With Luka, its Lukas team but kyrie is the vet and has his own unique respect.
@@actuallymario7676I believe Kyrie has said that he would love to play with LeBron again.
Kyrie finally getting his flowers man he is playing at an MVP level
Best balance and change of direction in league history. Circus acrobat level.
There has never been a player like him. When he was young a lot of players around here (New Jersey) were using the hesitation to set up the rest of their games. I thought it would be the wave of the future but it never really happened. I think the growth of "skills trainers" is causing players to copy each other less.
His pull up mid range is insane
He’s a number 1 option level talent playing as the number 2 option.
He's #1. player politics is what happening now. If Luka was smart he would use Kyries as source of knowledge pic his brain and learn from him. Because he will never have a player with Kyrie's ability on his team again. Lebron and Kyrie meshed because Lebron knew he could trust Kyrie. And it helped carry the load. That's what Luka has to learn if he wants to actually become a champion in this league.
Kyrie is so good that the mavs look better when luka sits. Let that sink in
Damn, i forgot just how Great Kyrie Irving is! Incredible player! He doesn't look like he's lost anything in his step as he ages.
That's why i say he is the most skilled player in nba history
Kyrie is amazing wow
0:52 great handles, great travelling ability.
Wasn't initially sure wether he had 5 or 6 steps, but reducing the video speed to 0,25x slomo, we must give him credit for only taking 5.
U gotta be trolling like frfr 😂😂😂
@@ysktv6175How many did you count?
I'm not blaming Kyrie btw. Good player knows how to play without getting called.
Refereeing is a joke thought.
It is 2 steps tho@@konzza
Scared for my Lakers to play them tonight we can't guard the 3
The knock on kyrie is that he isnt THE system but id argue being able to adapt to any role and produce at the lvl he does is just as valuable.
He goes into that Spanish guy named Alverado's chest 🤣
Kyrie basketball poetry
Uncle Drew gets buckets.
Kyrie my favorite player I just wish he had tht killer mentality but he does things effortlessly
Learned from lebron how to attack and drive always had a tightest handle in league for awhile now and of course improved shooting there to get buckets. Him and AD would’ve been dangerous
No he’s a better scorer than Lebron, he already knew those moves, in fact Lebron learned from him
@@erroneouse1929 Lebron is the scoring leader of the association. So how is Kyrie a better scorer than him. Just stop already.
When I heard averaging 6 assists I was like nah that's not Luka lol
Kyrie probably is the best sidekick.
If he is not the primary target of opponent's defense, he shines.
The best thing that ever happened to the NBA was the drafting of Kyrie Irving...
another reason separates kyrie from other flashy handle guards is that kyrie can shoot.
I think the most important part is that he's not causing any issues under a well run franchise right now. I mean he was out of control in Brooklyn and he probably had too much freedom in Boston. As a Mavs fan I was really afraid of where this was all gonna lead, but with Kyrie playing like in Cleveland and Lively fitting in so incredibly well, it's looking good in Dallas rn.
🤔 Is it possible that those quick stops and body contact plays are what causes the injuries.
4:40 too crafty.
This is actually his best year
Could be argued as the 4th best player in his position in the NBA
He's the best guard in the league.
I never know whether to consider him a PG or SG anymore.
the rest of the league can thank god he didnt make him taller 🤣
Kyrie smoothly handed Luka the keys, Bron was tryna give him.
Respect
How many offensive players u taking over Kyrie in 2024?
Alright, well firstly get the obvious players out the way. Jokic, Steph, Embiid, Luka, Giannis, and Shai. Best offensive players in the league for different reasons. Then you got Bron, maybe KD. You could say JT but I'd disagree. Haliburton is over Ky for me too. Maxey is flirting with the idea, but I think Ky is better. Ja, when he was playing was right there with Kyrie too. But they pretty much did the same thing, difference is Kyrie was more versatile as a scorer. But Ja is just a deadly penetrator in the paint and creates more shots, plus he's a better passer. At the same time, Kyrie is still the better shooter which adds a dimension that Ja doesn't have, which is elite three point shooting.
Ultimately, Kyrie is around that Top 10-15 range overall. But offensively, you can't really say there are actually 15 players better offensively. Giving a rough number, I'd say about 12.
A lot, more than 20.
@@karl-heinzjean-francois8554name 20
@@XZA.Bcould have mentioned donnavon mitchell who’s one of the best scorers and shooters in the nba as well.
@@XZA.BCurry? 😂
Problem with ky is the off court issues.
Hes same with kawhi. As long as theyre on the court. They can absolutely be the best player on any given game.
What has been the issue this year tho ?
His career numbers aren't quite top tier, but he's a great player.
10:52 is the context: Kyrie plays faster than Luka?
Kyrie is a Master at Work
Is he still a good 3pt shooter?
Kyrie is The Man!!!!
I’m glad that some ppl are starting to see how Great Kyrie Irving 😂really is
if kyrie was born at the same time as john stockton - this scenario heavily relies on the fact the internet wasnt a thing back then - that kyrie wouldnt be close to stockton. all time steals and assists… but flip it around if john stockton was born in the modern era not only would he still be the better passer and way more elite defending, john stockton would have shot better (stockton was an elite outside threat during those days) and cos john stockton wouldve grown up with the internet and personal trainers to teach 1v1 moves… john stockton would have been super saucey enough to be like stephs handles. ive believed in this forever
Lol no, stockton doesnt have insane finishing a ability
Stop the cap. Stockton has the assist record. Other than that Kyrie is way better at everything else. And if the played against each other Kyrie would drop 60 on your gawd. Just like he's uncle Rod Strickland use to do.
algorithm
W
We really don't talk about his shooting enough. For his career he's 39% from long range with 6 made per game
There is no way Kyrie averages 6 3p made per game. You must be looking at attempts
Truly incredible player, an artist with the ball. However is this winning basketball ? Dont think so.
I'd say it is, they are nearly a homecourt team!
i would love to see ja morant learn a thing or two from old man kyrie .
Fart on the back of a man named Kyrie. Hit him up like, "Kyrie? Okay. Kyrie?" Hemmeh shemmeh, Kyrie. Enneh rebehdeh, Kyrie. Lookin like a young shunnuh, Kyrie. Change of speed? Kyrie.
What if the😊 clippers could trade harden for kyrie
Kyrie is literally nightwing
Media hates him cause he stood his ground, and remained a Proud Pure Blood
can kyrie lead his own team?
I think he can he lead his team like how fox, dame, Brunson, Mitchell and how other small guards can. Which is probably capped as a second round exit or maybe a conference finals appearance if he gets lucky.
Idk about a contender, but definitely a competitive one.
he's doing this for years, idk y u still discussing this. its not new
Kyrie is my favorite player to watch but it looks like he’s traveling on a lot of these plays. A lot of players are abusing and the “Zero Step” rule.
I disagree when u said Kyrie had lost explosion he’s still as explosive he’s been dealing with a foot issue all season and Kyrie can go half speed and still can’t be stopped he unlocked another level of hoops when he went to the Nets and even before that to me he’s been the most complete offensive player in the nba now he unlocked the rare ability to control games with his scoring it’s funny people forget Kyrie did this last season when he was on the nets and kd was out for like a month Kyrie went on a run and some good teams as the lone star he’s proven he can carry a team
Kyrie sees the game in slow motion. He's not worried about the player thats guarding him because no one can stay in front of him. And All of his peers knows when he is coming at you it's a rap.
I bet lebron misses him now. Lebron and they media should have gave him the respect he deserves
You do realize Lebron always missed him and Lebron wanted him to win mvp and let kyrie take over whenever he wanted it was literally just the media the kid treated kyrie
Lebron won a ring without him and already wanted him last year. This comment is beyond irrelevant
@@elijahkersey5061🧢
The LUKA SYSTEM is not working, you can't have your top scorer as your main point guard (James Harden has Zero Rings). Solution, get another point guard to distribute or get a coach that's a better leader.
It was working fine till kyrie joined the team. He went to western conference finals without kyrie and they were a top 4 seed last year without kyrie. They look like they're about to miss the playoffs 2 straight years with kyrie the loser. You kyrie stans need to wake up to reality. The dude doesn't contribue to winning basketball.
@thetraveler9 Kyrie hasn't done anything wrong on the Mavs, and Luka hasn't either, it's about how basketball should be played, get another point guard to take over controlling the floor or a coach that's more of a leader. Luka is doing TOO MUCH, and he doesn't have Jordan or Kobe mentality to lead a team, MAVS have a LEADERSHIP PROBLEM.
@@kind2de do they really? They looked fine when he led them to the western conference finals and were a top 4 seed last season before Kyrie joined. Look, I've followed Kyrie for years and rooted for him too but I'm a realist. Kyrie ruins teams somehow and teams are always worse with him. I don't buy that it's Lukas problem. There's something about Kyrie that just doesn't correlate to winning ball.
@@thetraveler9 My original post was to focus on a point guard who was also their top scorer but bad leader, both Luka and Kyrie and not natural leaders. Kyrie's history is too complicated to go into, he is a Mav now, and the Mavs need leadership, preferrably from the Coach.
@@kind2de Luka hasn't had problems leading before. His issues only occured after Kyrie joined his team
Way to wrong-foot us, first sentence 😂
I was proud of that opening, glad someone liked it lol!
I feel like kyrie and booker have similarities in there game kyrie just have way better handles
Hopefully hes finally done with his dumbass era and we can continue to see an ATG offensive player focusing on basketball
I don't understand why people making videos about basketball and just narrating what we actually see. Do they do it for the blind or what ?
THE TRUTH IS THAT COUSY WAS BETTER
1 OF MY FAVE PLAYERS🤩🤩THE KYRIE DISRESPECT HAS GOT 2 STOP‼️😮💨
More talented player than Lebron James right there
I like kyrie but these slow down videos looks like he carried a lot 🤣
All I see is you highlighting how he cheats to get good looks and the refs let players get away with this bs. He is pushing off defenders, just without extending arm. These are all offensive fouls.
The truth about Ky is that he is a top 5 PG in the NBA but no one respects him because he holds unconventional views.
