Not a speck of successful basketball. Or Kyrie is doing those crossovers but to the doctors while they cure his injuries.

The "skill" argument is one that always baffles me. I'd heard this way too much in reference to Irving. Basically it is, he can get you a bucket at will, has incredible footwork, incredible handle, and is a great shooter. That's describing a great 1 on 1 player, when the game is about leveraging that skill to add the most value to your team. In that regard, Irving is somewhat of a mixed bag to me. If we talking best 1 on 1 players to ever play the game, sure Irving is up there, but why is this is the default definition in "skill" in reference to basketball when it's not a 1 on 1 game. It's like the game is looked at like 2k attributes when its much more nuanced than that.

[@ThePeachTube]

Towards the end of the video, I started focusing on the game more than Dom talking😂

@@Nozirev no one has rewritten his 2016 chip and while dame and Luka is an honest analysis it’s in no way a negative comment. Dame and Luka are really talented. And while Chris Paul is pushing it nobody really makes that much hate on Kyrie in terms of his basketball abilities. People have said he’s one of the greatest finishers for his size that we’ve ever seen, an offensive dynamo, and arguably the greatest ball handler. Kyries only negative comments is he’s made out of glass (which he kinda is), and he can’t be your best player and win a title (which until he proves otherwise stands as such)

[@Zi-listedRosso]

I’m just gonna say: Kyrie is at least top 3 in terms of most skilled and entertaining players to ever set foot in the NBA with his quickness, ball control and ability to create space wherever. Although my off-court opinion of him will flip flop here and there, can’t deny he a bad man on the court.

[@TrulyyGotIt]

[@levelofsnipes7378]

All else aside, Kyrie is a genius with a basketball in his hands

[@NewAgeSlaves]

Undeniably

[@TheRealMRGG85]

Nobody has ever questioned Kyrie's talent that is cap. They question his sanity and his leadership ability. His style of play isn't winning basketball and sometimes it can be inefficient but he plays on a team that's so talented it doesn't matter. But we've seen him in Cleveland by himself and we've seen him in Boston with a good amount of talent we've seen him play inefficient against the Milwaukee Bucks in the playoffs and be the primary reason the Celtics were eliminated. So while I do think Kyrie is box office as Stephen A Smith would say let's not act like he's the second coming.

You make such an excellent point about how people try to downplay offensive talent.

Kyrie a great player all problems started with the so called 'shot' that won the 17 finals. Lebron haters went into overdrive tryna hype kyrie as the most important piece when in objective reality he's just a good side kick. He's not a franchise player but more of a specialist superstar

[@adripos]

he’s a GREAT side kick, don’t downplay what kyrie did in those finals, it was more than just “the shot”. dude was dropping 41 pts WITH lebron in game 5 of the 2016 finals. I’m not saying Kyrie is a #1 on a championship team but he is a #2 on a championship team, 2016 is the example.

If the Nets win this ring and Kyrie has 2 rings, i think he needs to be mentioned as a top 50 player all time. He has the stats and accolades

[@jtg0330]

Eh, idk about that. I feel like by far the biggest thing that has held Kyrie back is his availability/durability. And he’s only really been a superstar for like 2-3 years. And lastly I think he’s still relatively far away from being a top 10 pg alltime, which makes it hard to say he’s a top 50 player ever

@@jtg0330 If irving gets 2 chips with top 2 greatest handle ever, smooth shooter, great finisher at the basketball, clutch when it counts, why wouldn’t he be top 50 all time? he has an ASG MVP, all star appearances, is a 1 man show like allen iverson was, idk it’s close.
