Jeff Teague calls Kyrie Irving THE BEST SCORER IN NBA HISTORY after 39-point game vs. Ant's T'Wolves

[@Cheatingscoobydoo]

Nothing to argue he’s not lol It’s KD and Jordan flat out

[@ethicalhooper]

Many NBA players believe Kyrie is the best scorer of all time. JR Smith broke it down perfectly on a podcast "He can do it with either hand, he can shoot left hand, right hand, he can shoot mid range, he can shoot 3s, spot ups, off the dribble...He has the best handles we've ever seen, He's the best finisher under the basket we've ever seen by far it's not even close. The spin on his left hand, right hand. Free throw shooting. He's a 50/40/90 dude damn near every year. The only reason why he's not is because the shots he takes are tough shots. There's nobody creatively on the basketball floor that can get any shot they want better than him. Idgaf if there's 4 people guarding him, 5 people guarding him, it don't matter."

Luka, Kyrie's teammate, was a ROY and made the playoffs twice in his first three seasons and was all-NBA first team twice. Kevin Durant, Kyrie's former teammate was also a ROY, one time all NBA first team, MVP runner up and made the playoffs once in his first three seasons.

To win the scoring title, you need durability, a high free throw rate and shot diet heavily biased towards three point shots. Look at the last 10 scoring champions. Luka and Harden take a lot of threes and gets to the line a lot. Embiid is an excellent foul drawer. Curry is the greatest three point shooter of all time. KD and Westbrook shot a lot of free throws in OKC when they won the scoring title. Kyrie is not a volume three point shooter and doesn't attack the rim enough. It's not just mentality, he just doesn't have those gifts as well.

Imagine if kyrie was 6”7

[@mbdbushcraftsurvival8671]

Ah bro you lost me when you said he better than AI

[@ascwahid]

Kyrie upset the small hat gang and they the most powerful gang in the world .

Kyrie is amazing ...best handles of all time as far as ive seen ..but im not sure why people leave out the fact that he doesn't win ...prior or joining the Mavs he has a loosing record in the NBA when playing without Lebron ...he also has never been the best player on a team and lead them even to the playoffs ...visually and technically hes a beast ..but by the standards that everyone else is judged on ...he doesn't win at the rate of the greats especially considering the amount of HOF talents hes played beside

[@abtocool6350]

Your just spreading out lies and misinformation. He factually has a winning record without lebron and he lead as the best player on a team to the playoffs. It’s revisionist history, his first year in Boston they won 16 games in a row with players in and out of the lineup and he was second on the mvp ladder in November. They won 55 games with kyrie playing in the majority of those games as a second seed before having to get surgery at the end of the season. The next year they won 49 games as the 4th seed and got to the second round.

@abtocool6350 not trying to be combative ...on Boston he didn't lead them to the playoffs ...when Boston had their success and also got to the ECF he wasn't on the court/playing ...he definitely had a loosing overall record before Dallas without Lebron ...I like Kyrie you can research all of what I said

[@Shane.Roberts]

Allen iverson has 4 scoring titles and led the leauge in steals twice! Kyrie hasn't led the league in nothing!

[@songohan4872]

Harden Steph Luka MJ Kobe KD Kyrie is great but not in the convo for best ever

[@jeremeatta591]

I think its reversed. Kyrie is like mike vick and AI is like lamar jackson

[@damienkinsey5340]

Saying Kyrie over Ai is a horrible take😂

[@Jp2timezz]

What ai does better than Kyrie?

[@Jp2timezz]

Besides take more shots & shoot less then 44% from the field?

[@Dee-qg6qq]

Why do people like to argue over opinions ? Thats how he feels. I don’t . Let’s move on. No debate needed. My opinion not changing and neither is yours.. I don’t even care why you think he’s the best.

[@Mycarisloose]

What you described doesn’t equal views 😂 people LOVE drama, not facts and logic. That doesn’t sell

[@kingbanksss]

Just cuz kyrie has more overall skill than A.I, don't mean he's better. That's stupid.
