Playing defense while on offense is the most perfect explanation of Kyrie's game

[@TawandaMatanda]

Terrifying

[@mikem4481]

he has no weaknesses in his ball handling which allows him to do that. even many guards can't do that.

[@GreedyGlo]

Iman needs to be a regular on Gil’s Arena immediately

[@godsfavoritt771]

He brought more value than Brandon Jennings has in all his appearances combined

Such a delight to hear the thoughts of a defensive minded person vs various offenses in a 5d chess game

[@chillbro2275]

Yes, it really is! And then to hear how sharp offensive minded players responded. So freaking cool!

[@minfamous5841]

Basically Iman is saying, Kyrie has unlimited counter moves that he can access without thought almost like breathing

[@oneofakind104]

precisely, makes sense when you watch him play

[@carloscontreras3534]

Basically ultra instinct

[@siyabongakunene5052]

Basically Ultra Deep Bag😂

[@tylerprice7906]

Kyrie literally said he’s gonna throw every move until you just give up basically 😂

[@TawandaMatanda]

Terrifying

[@joshuad24]

What he said about Kobe def went over a lot of peoples mind. Kobe’s game being based of that pivot meant he always had literally every option at his disposal.

[@MZPCreations]

That's what makes Brunson so lethal despite not being uber athletic or big. That pivot is nasty and can be devastating as a defender

[@specgoody]

He grew up in the triangle offense. The pivot is instrumental in that offense and created a way to read defenses and he mastered it.

[@NoCapJayy]

Melo worked out the pivot. Once the put that ball behind his head, it was over. He's going where he wants

[@joshuad24]

@@NoCapJayy Yea that’s true Melo did too

[@pedrovasquez2931]

@NoCapJayy facts and you were at his mercy. Even Kobe once said Melo was 1 of the hardest to guard when he was in his bag.

[@williamsmith4603]

I would watch iman more then anyone else when he talks basketball. He needs to be on ESPN!

[@eliahfloyd3429]

Facts, I would prefer him on his own podcast then ESPN.. he needs to tell his stories without worrying about and draw back his stories are authentic

[@Chill_Brill]

Hell na ESPN is nothing but breaking news and hot takes they don't care at all about actual basketball analysis

[@yungface012]

Tony Allen, Shane Battier, t.r. Dunn, coop , Reuben Patterson, kawhi . True defenders !

The Kyrie take is actually terrifying.

[@ramosfr9082]

Makes a lot of sense the way he put it.

[@x-rayofficial4894]

Terrifying 😂

[@FeelingsOffPodcast]

bro fr, like your best coverage... he got a package for it, counter for it, he got a counter for your counters.

[@dantesNf3rno]

I’ve always said this about Kyrie. Kyrie doesn’t have a “go-to” move, no signature size up move, his game is literally based on what the defense is doing. Just counter moves. Whatever the defense is trying to make him do, he has a counter. And he does it so effortlessly, fluid and on the fly. Like such an incredible basketball savant, crazy IQ and muscle memory.

[@spiveyschannel490]

That’s actually why I tell people Kyrie game he’s a generational talent y’all never see anybody play like Kyrie ever again is craft jus different

[@briannoble1022]

His go-to move is every move since he's elite at everything! So EVERYTHING is his go-to move! 🤣🤣

[@MakaveliDior]

In&Out cross behind the back combo is his signature sizeup

[@Omegamedia313]

So why tf he cnt win 😭😭

[@Omegamedia313]

So why he can't win 😭

[@DWARAIG93]

This is the sports content we need. The IQ of the game from the professionals who did it at a high level. Kobe would be proud to hear how these guys like JJ, Shump & Gil are teaching the people. Not just entertaining…

[@Chill_Brill]

Facts but all basketball sports media do is hot takes and goat debate

[@bagbroch9339]

Kobe would laugh at this clown. Just talking just to talk. Lying.

[@Omegamedia313]

Poor meat rider gil has way too many bad takes iman is straight other dude idek

[@tythanh4708]

ok

[@nylesfrench3568]

I totally agree. Kobe was a Cerebral Man on and off the Court. He was about Thought, planning, and study about Basketball and everything else. An intellectual.

[@andreashley6084]

Hear iman talk ball makes me love the game all over again

[@RickieBMusic]

So basically KYRIE has mastered ultra instinct … That’s wild 🤣🤣🤣

[@heating4652]

Man when you get to a point where you legit don't care who is in front of you and you know you're killing him every which way you want... dawg... I promise you there are 0 people who wanna go at Kyrie. 0.

[@TawandaMatanda]

[@kingbucketz182]

Kyrie just plays how we all did before coach f’d up our creativity with lame a55 basic moves that anyone with have decent defense can pick.

[@OffDayVonté]

The way iman broke that down made me excited. Need more OGs talking the game like this. Love hearing the real basketball details not the superficial 💯

[@Pyxyty]

He's one of the good storytelling players, the way he highlights good details and makes it understandable for us is hella good

[@bayscit]

the best part about the Kobe story is that Shump didn't even get to battle the best versions of Kobe since he came into the league in 2011 AFTER Kobe was done winning his 5(!) chips lol

[@hekenball24]

This defensive segment is filled with so much knowledge!!! Its crazy how Iman broke down the rhythm & play styles of players, especially how Kyrie plays defense while being on offense . Would love to pick his brain on that side of the ball

[@blizz1004]

Very smart defender . U have to study your opponent to get an advantage. The next great defender in the league like that is Marcus smart. But he just a knockle head sometimes lol

[@stevenbrown1762]

Kobe did this with his detail videos where he explains other players games

[@GreedyGlo]

Kyrie’s defensive offensive🤔 Very interesting that’s definitely a new perspective to remember when watching him going forward

[@ronniejones6421]

Fr. He said Kyrie let you dictate how he going to score on you.

[@GreedyGlo]

@@ronniejones6421 It’s beyond that though it’s the counter following that part after he evaluates your positioning and the bumps/contact plus the contact *he’s* going to initiate Plus your tendencies as a defender and your body/athletic limitations like Gil always talks about whether your body is stronger or weaker on a certain side etc

[@hunnidkayy]

that ankle breaker mentality reacting off the defense

[@deez9805]

Yea I don’t want to nerd out about it too much but I’ve been studying his game for a while now. Dude is a magician at protecting the ball. Watching his workouts where he gets triple teamed and has to continue his dribble and make a read and/or finish gives us a little insight. But if you watch him closely nearly all of his dribble moves are done to keep the ball away from the defender, not too shift them like a lot of guys. Guarding him is like being in an argument that you can’t win.

[@GreedyGlo]

And not that weak ass hacking fouling shit real defense and real buckets

[@Baltimoretay21207]

Shump and Gil would be the best basketball pod ever !! 💯💯💯💯🔥🔥 make it happen

[@kentagious1246]

BS why he ain't in the League then

[@milkgotmoney]

This is that hoop talk I appreciate! Breaking down the mental chess side of playing.

[@TheRoyalHour]

I’m glad Shump pointed out the genius of Kyrie,offensively. Unlike anything we have ever seen

[@GreedyGlo]

Now I have to study every Iman x Kobe play🤦‍♂️ I FUCKING LOVE this type of insight especially from a guy like Iman who is a *phenomenal* storyteller

[@docallentv]

Shump can be definitely a defensive coach. He definitely was a really good defender, and it makes sense how he breaks it down.

[@Jirl_25]

"Defense on offense", i love watching kyries mastery. I used to described it as "Freestyle", as if he approched the defense like a Blank canvas and he painted it which his "pencils" which most people would say is his hands but is actually the synchronimity of his feet to the way he bounces the ball just to get to where he wants to get, he just happens to have to dribble the ball lol. Players Podcasts have thought me more about the game in 1 year than ESPN has in 20 years. Him

[@jjbanks1222]

This is the type of content I love. Hearing Shump’s IQ is exactly why he should still have a spot on the team. His knowledge alone is definitive.

[@JazzYachtrocker]

I love Shump too but it seems from listening to a lot of other players he’s probably average or a little above in IQ.

[@dlo0002]

Kyrie's offense reading and reacting to defense is crazy

[@Herscheyyz]

I’m amazed at how many people didn’t know Shumpert knew this much about the game…y’all not watching the game inside of the game which is why KD and Draymond always say that 90% of fans don’t actually know basketball

[@heating4652]

LeBron doesn't wanna play with you if you aren't a reeeeally smart mf back in the day. These days it's a bit different.

[@cheerioss-9121]

Nah I’m starting to realize this too. A lot of fans don’t KNOW basketball. Like you get an entirely different understanding for the game when you’ve actually played and done the stuff they’re talking about and you see what they’re saying play out in real time.

[@marcusr.8010]

With all the elite offensive players in the league, why aren't NBA teams calling Shumpert to be a defensive assistant coach.... He's been dropping these types of gems for years.

[@jesuisbuk]

The artistry and precision in the league is crazy. Great breakdown by Shump.

[@jonpoon3896]

Love that Kobe breakdown. Basically, he know that I know that he know that I know

[@WarChestAnalytics]

Incredible mind games, the intricacies of Chess Basketball. Decyphering the rhythm of your opponent and attacking in the pocket. A whole new respect for Kyrie. Sounds like he knew how to adapt to anyone's defence and looked forward to it.

When he said kyrie plays with no plan it made me think of like neymar jr. Like are you really thinking or are you just playing and reacting. Like there's this little study of neymar jr take it with a grain of salt or not that says during his dribbles his brain activity isn't so much. Meaning every move isn't necessarily a thought it's like being in a natural instinct mode or flowing like water state. I wonder if kyrie is like that as well.
