As a life long Duke fan…I CANNOT TELL YOU…how hard it was to watch Kyrie go down with a season long injury eleven games into what we all knew was his only season his freshman year. Duke wins the Chip that year if he stays healthy. He was KILL-ING. Runnin’ circles around dudes prior to that injury. Alright man…I can’t talk about this no more…I gotta go😢😂😂
I knew right before... that summer i found his mixtapes on youtube. I knew since then this dude was gonna be special.. no cap... that duke season was crazy to watch, zions too, but kyries was memorable. That UNC game where he won was crazyyy
@@jamesrobles5587 Yeah, it was too late. Can’t just show up and form chemistry that late in year. Rotation changes…defensive principles change. Not to mention - imagine had he developed all season long. Was ALREADY a beast. Terrible injury.
@@holyrockstar Crazy. I remember before he came to Duke’s campus - his high school coach saying he was the best player to ever come out of New Jersey. I was thinking…that’s a *bold* statement. First time I saw him play my doubts were dismissed. Uncle Drew is a problem to this day.
@@robdawson5835iverson best crossover along with Tim hardaway, but Kyrie handle package all around is just on another level than any player I've ever seen.
Salute Quinn, the best out my city around my class. from aau with assault & high school with dematha & oak. Quinn always been tough, glad he got a ship in the nba. Only can want bra to win. He was like a Kyrie out our area. I remember going to coach wooden camp and seein him play against high schoolers at 13, I was 12 turning 12 thinking I was doing something dropping 15+ a game against 14s. Quinn ass playing against 15-16 year olds giving niggas buckets. 20+ a game. Glad he got to the league & was successful.
I'll always regret not getting my life together and going to Dematha to play ball I was roaming them Suitland HS hallways fighting and chasing girls coach Lynch (RIP) and coach Massenburg was gonna help get on the team but Suitland was like jail with females I couldn't get right but I know I would've at least brought a championship to Maryland if I wouldn't have made the NBA
Ppl forget this mf’er Kyrie played like 11 games in college & still went number 1 over Derrick Williams & kimba walker who balled out that whole season
Kyrie Irving is the most skilled athlete to ever lace em up in the league, including M .J. Lebron and K. D., Stephen Curry, etc. Nobody's that' skilled.
That’s my guy Quinn!! His pops Ted gave me my first job doing security at the all star game in dc. I remember walking around the corner to his house in our neighborhood in Bowie just to play ball in his backyard when I was in high school! He always been nice on the court. R.I.P Ted
He has amazing skill and talent but doesnt have accolades to really back it up. But on the court just watching him you can tell hes one of the greats to ever play
Corey Maggette was the first one and done at Duke, he left to the NBA with Elton Brand and William Avery who left early to the NBA but weren't one and done.
Micah trainings is one of the best basketball trainings out there his trainings are perfect for guys and young hoopers that don't "got it" like some gifted hoopers skill wise or for hoopers that don't got access to high level trainers he breaks every single detail down.. his trainings are what some hoopers need cause other trainers don't seem to understand how to teach footwork or the other little things that welll... Micah's trainings are like the perfect perquisite in basketball training
Again, people who know hoop, remember this. Maggette, Brand, and William Avery left in 99 after they lost to Rip lead - UConn in the Finals. Maggette came off the bench which made it all the more unusual because until that point, the Dukies all stayed for 4 years. K told Avery that he was f-ing up his program. Then he signed J Williams, Casey Sanders, and Dunleavy- the Warriors GM.
I remember that class of 2010 and class of 2011 very well as grade 9 and 10 student up here in Toronto ( my cousin Myck Kabongo was a Top Point Guard in class of 2011) Quinn cook is a solid dude
I always said Coach K being the coach of USA Basketball gave him an unfair advantage when it came to recruiting the top high school kids. You won't see all the top kids going to Duke now that Coach K has retired.
@@christopherfrancis2211 the point is, for years, many top tier recruits avoided Duke and never considered them. That changed when K became USA basketball head coach. Duke went from the rep of ‘that’s where the white guys go to play’ to ‘he coached LeBron, Kobe, & KD.’ He also got to scout every good basketball player under 18 in a closed environment with no competition. His starting team from the 2015 NCAA champions all came through USA basketball. It was a distinct advantage and Jerry colangelo basically handed him a couple of championships.
I remember telling people in the preseason that this kid kyrie was going to be the first overall pick after his freshman season at Duke. People told me I was ridiculous, then after they saw him play they were like yeah hell be a top 10 pick. Then he got hurt and people were like see no way he goes first now. And then once the mock draft season really picked up right before tournament time and they put kyrie at #1, my friends were like aight aight yeah you called it. Definitely one of my favorite sports takes over the years lol
Quin is cool guy! I got to watch him and a couple other NBA players in Pro League over the summer in Baltimore. Jumper was off but he definitely was showing love to the city! It was one them young NBA players with him, I can’t remember his name but he went off!
I've been blessed to see Dr. Jay Kareem magic bird, Jordan Duncan LeBron so many others and out of all of those I got. To be honest, I've never seen anything like Kyrie Irving and I don't think we ever will
Calipari or Coach from Kentucky, he embrace one and done. He’s like this Kentucky, we gone ok. We were ok before you we will be ok when you gone. Do I want you to go no but If you have a chance to take care of you family and yourself you take it! Don’t let anyone tell you different. That Coach is awesome for that.

Never seen either play before but i remember B Knight was ranked ahead of Kyrie at some point of time their HS sr year..after watching Kyrie on TV going into his summer b4 Duke and saying to myself " There is no way another pg coming out of hs could be a betterpg than this kid im watching
Quinn cook saying he could’ve been a 1 and done player and then goin undrafted is kinda crazy and he definitely has proved his worth to a nba team but nothing that shows me 1 and done 1st round pick.. and im from Baltimore so I seen guys like josh selby who was so talented he got drafted after 1 year at Kansas but he still went 2nd round and he had a way higher ceiling coming out of college than Quinn cook
Every player in college can EASILY be "ONE and DONE", that don't mean you're gonna be ANY good in the NBA. Heck, you can be FOUR and DONE, and won't last beyond the rookie deal in the NBA. There aren't many super exceptional players. Wemby is skilled and athletic for his height....but for the most part there aren't many players that TRULY separate themselves from the pack in the drafts over the years. A lot of NBA greats weren't great in college. I would say that there are MORE great players that went from High School to Pros then being a senior to the Pros in the last 30 years. Kobe, KG, Lebron, Tracey McGady, etc. I can also include Kyrie since he only played like 10 games before he left Duke.

Kyrie Irving is absolutely better than Steph Curry, the only thing Curry does better is shoot the trey ball, that's it' folks, it's nothing personal, its just simply somebody invested a great deal of time and efforts in molding Kyrie folks, take a look at the Pro Am game before he was drafted, his performance was jaw dropping and he did it' against NBA players!!!!!
When you’re sure of yourself, you’re able to give these kind of props to someone else. Respects.
