please breakdown De’aaron fox finishing he went 75% from the rim last season as a 6’3 point guard 🙏

FAX, shit was craaazy

[@khamemanuel3527]

Kyrie absorbed so much contact he literally the definition of basketball strength and creates great attacking angles off of instinct’s not a lot of guard can do that in the nba other than Brunson and that’s what make them special attackers

[@backroomsdurkio]

They both are extremely durable and able to use contact to their advantage to create angles. Definitely worth studying

[@Vortex_Feedz]

I wanted to say Westbrook great with physicality at the rim , but his finishing isn’t as fluid

[@khamemanuel3527]

@@Vortex_Feedz nah most definitely he is Russ is an extremely tuff guard with the combo of his physicality and explosiveness he necessarily doesn’t need a angle lol

[@Free-Night]

Giannis, Zion???

[@khamemanuel3527]

@@Free-Night I’m talking about guards bro lol those are brute force attackers..

[@jritzeku]

I've noticed that his game has drastically changed as he's gotten older. Nowadays he just settles for simpler outcomes such as just going down hill and pulling up or just some backdown fade away scenario. In a way it's not as flashy but definitely more efficient.

[@GreedyGlo]

Thank you for another Kyrie video🫡

[@Wholisticandy]

His instincts are incredible. To be able to read and naturally react with the correct answer. Instincts is something you can’t teach & I think that’s what makes him and great players special

[@ODSKhari]

My favorite player in the league !

[@alexxarnett]

Thank you so much for this breakdown! Kyrie to me is the most skilled player ever so to learn and pick apart pieces from his game is great for us hoopers to add to our games.

[@Theone-yv6tm]

Preciate it bro been asking for this ever since 2016 🤯🙌🏾😭

[@kahanglam3170]

Thank you for this breakdown! His offball movement is underrated also.

[@Basketball_Highlights39]

facts

[@thirteentomoe]

That's why I scoffed at people saying him and Luka won't work.

[@RaZeLise]

I learnt so much from kyrie over the years. He isn't particularly the type of player that manipulates defenses to go for his 'sweet spots'(Chris Paul or Kawhi for example), but he can almost solve every problem the defense gives him. You lure him to his weak side and so he just throws a floater with his weak hand😂. His core idea of being a jack of all trades on the offensive side taught me so much on basketball.

[@Free-Night]

He dont have a weak hand

[@jamespisano1164]

Thanks Bro. This man is one of the most underrated players ever.

[@jalo3087]

What do you mean underrated? Many put him as the best handles/finisher in the nba and he's underrated?

[@urihamilton1077]

@@jalo3087 his career overall tbh, people try to credit his ring to lebron like kais not championship elite level stamped. and then say he did nothing without bron like he didnt have his celtics as high seeds and either got injured or lost to another high seed. the media slander dont help either

[@p0pSob]

No doubt Kyrie one of the greatest ISO options all the time, great ball handling, great finishing, but I've seen him a lot and recently have got an idea, does he get his partners better? Often when he doubled, we can see how his partners just stand and got no idea what they have to do. He has often attacked two or three opponents, when there is a wide open in the other corner It's very strange for man, which wanted to be one of the greatest point guard ever So I think he can plays much better, if he really wants

[@abtocool6350]

Every player has some kind of flaw, like lebron’s inconsistent perimeter shooting, kd’s playmaking at times, ja morant’s shooting, Kobe’s tunnel vision at times, there’s no perfect player in the nba.

[@thintellect6103]

@@abtocool6350rockets harden was unstoppable, bro averaged 36 in the 2018-2019 season

[@JasonLee-fg7qi]

Basically most star creators have a package of go to offensive moves and counters that are extremely dominant. Based on how the defense plays them they have a few pass reads out of the package. Over time these reads become automatic for both the creator and his teammates. James Harden was the epitome of this style of playing. Kyrie has no package because there's nothing he can't do at an elite level.. Packages are inherently reductive. Kyrie's whole game is improvisation. Score by doing whatever at any time. What makes Kyrie a genius is he can do everything offensively no matter how difficult at levels of efficiency that still work. No other NBA star could play that way because they cant do everything. Trying to do everything would make them highly unreliable and inefficient. Kyrie is not. But without natural reads for assist passing, Kyrie makes less assists because he rarely reaches the point where the pass is the advantageous play. He almost always still has the advantage to score no matter the situation the defender presents him with. The other thing Kyrie doesnt do is intentionally get to the line. Hes leaving 5 or 6 ppg on the table given his useage right and how much he penetrates to the basket and his his ft percentage.

[@abtocool6350]

@@JasonLee-fg7qi the fact that kyrie only shot 4 free throws a game is crazy, I promise you if he got there like 7 or 8 times he would average 30, but I don’t know how he could get to the line more especially if the refs don’t give him fouls.

[@vandave1517]

​​@@abtocool6350Having a weakness in your game is not an excuse to improve them ,we all saw curry struggle against bigger and stronger players bullying him on the post and look him now especially his games against celtics he can absorb contact against bigger defender and finish it in the rim and there are times that celtics players tries to post him up and he did well holding his ground and not easily gets push off,lebron is way better shooter right now compared to his atheltic prime years on cleveland,funny thing is kyrie and durant weakness are easiest to improve since both kyrie and durant are ellite scorers that can draw multiiple defenders which open up their teammates all they need to do is use their eyes,be a willing passer and trust their teammates,it takes years for curry to gain that strength to hold his ground against bigger defenders whose trying to bully him on the paint as well as absorbing contacts when he is attacking the rim samething with lebron shooting,while kyrie and durant and kyrie weakness which is passing is so easy to improve it does not take that much a time

Kyrie is the most fun player to watch in the NBA, his artistry and creativity, athleticism and IQ, are off the charts!

[@TLEE1977]

Amazing breakdown and he's the best offensive package in the league for years. This is why he's been my favorite active player. The way you made sense of the ball over his head when attacking and jumping off two feet blew my mind. It made so much sense really attacking the hole.

finally, attention to detail: KYRIE IRVING

[@Naycha.]

I like how most of his best handles were in Boston and he was only there for 2 years. That’s crazy. Great video 🙌🏽

[@urihamilton1077]

breakdowns like this are exactly why i laugh when casual fans say kyries handles are “flashy” or he “dribbles too much”

[@petershen7949]

I think Kyrie is the best purely technical scorer. Other players may rely on height, length, extreme athleticism, strength, or more. He doesn't have that big of an advantage in any of these areas, but he uses what he has perfectly. When you watch him play it feels like he is reading everything the defense gives him perfectly.

[@CapybaraShambe]

Been following Kai since his HS days, he was already more skilled than other NBA players as a kid

[@jeromezirbes8623]

I love your video. Couldn't have said it better. I think he plays on a deeper level, which you have grasped, but most people won' t get, Almost a physics understanding, reading natural human reaction then doing the opposite. All while having the best ball control I've ever seen, Off the court that mind set makes for a tuff life. Non assimilation. Kyrie is a rebel in every sense of the word. When they expect your to zig...zag instead Good luck Mavs in 2025!

[@trulbanks7787]

You are 1000% right but the next level of understanding Kyrie is understanding he just has a creative mind. Like a rapper blacking out during a freestyle or a dancer snapping in a 1on1 battle. It's not predetermined its not planned its just reading and reacting. He does things he's never practiced every game because h just reads and reacts. In simpler words his bag isn't what he's practiced, his mind is his bag. For most they need to practice the bag where his mind is his bag which is why he's unguardable. Great video 💯

4:05 chest down, 5:40 side step

I will double down- Kyrie looks like he could walk a tightrope and juggle at the same time. Unquestionably the best balance & touch in the league. He doesn't rely on speed and hops, it's balance, touch, timing & change of direction.

Kyrie is nice. Definitely top 7 point guard in the league.

[@urihamilton1077]

for someone who is such a ruthless attacker downhill and at the basket, the fact that kyrie gets only 4 free throws attemtps a game is insane to me. the amount of contact he seeks out and absorbs without flopping like half these other guards in the league and still barely any calls. he could easily average thirty or maybe even 32 like dame or steph did. but instead you got floppers like harden shooting 10 free throws a game and tarnishing the purity of the game in that regard
