    He has some of the best, if not the best footwork I’ve ever seen.

    Kyrie has immortalised the art of finesse in the basketball. Whenever you see him play it is absolutely clear that he loves the game.
    The amount of moves he invented and successfully integrated to the game is just absurd when you realise that it was done in the modern era AND he didn't have to abuse the rulebook for that!
    He deserves to be respected, recognised and celebrated us one of the corner stones of the new era of basketball.

      I think he's EASILY, one of the 50 greatest players of all time, even though his resume, statistics and accomplishment probably aren't there.

      yeah, i remember shump saying on a podcast that there were times that he forgot that lebron was on the floor because of the way kyrie was playing. right now in the lakers, if lebron is on the floor, the engine runs so much smoother, austin reaves is doing his thing tho, maybe he takes that leap this season.

    Great vid HV, quick question who’s a better offensive player in 2023, Kawhi or LeBron and why ?

    • @HoopVenue
      @HoopVenue  Před 10 měsíci

      Comfortably taking Kawhi here, LeBron's regressed quite a bit as a driver which then results in lower quality perimeter shooting, just overall taking down both his scoring and playmaking.

      @@Loris71734 nah, this is false. Lebron led in stats, but Kyrie hit the biggest shots over and over again. He had a legit claim to Finals MVP or at least, Co-MVPs.

    @jamala3729 Před 10 měsíci

    kyrie is only 31 he still can finish at the rim just as good its just the perception that he's quote on quote not in his primwe anymore because of injuries and bad roster construction he hasn't been able to win another title when in reality his numbers are better than in Cleveland he averaged 27/5/6 on over 60% ts so how is he on the decline if you don't watch basketball just say that

    • @HoopVenue
      @HoopVenue  Před 10 měsíci

      I never said his finishing regressed, I said it’s harder for him to get to the rim.
      In Cleveland he was getting to the rim about 5-6 times a game, last season it was down to 2, and this year about 3.
