I'll say it again, "Pound for pound, Kylie Irving is best basketball player on the planet." He plays a few steps ahead of everyone (including himself sometimes) and that's what makes him extra special out on the court. He has mastered every element of the basketball skill set unlike any other player alive....

[@laneyj]

💯💯💯

[@Christopher._M]

I have to say he has some of the best skills and has a case for the best skills in the nba but pound for pound he isnt the best player. He gets his buckest but he's is still lacking the leader type of playing. Rose is leading better than kyrie on the floor. If he can lead like xp3 than I might agrre with you
