Kyrie is probably one of my favorite players, seeing him play is just pure joy and entertainment. Kyrie literally plays how you think in your head you play like..😂😭💯😮‍💨

I badly wanted to see a glimpse of cavs kyrie in the finals against the celtics not the shooting and him being clutch but just him being unguardable and easily dribbling his way to the basket. Hopefully to see it next ssn

[@plankworld2539]

I doubt he'll ever go back to the cavs version. I heard him say a while back that due to injuries and how the game evolved he had to change his game up. This playstyle is definitely tiring and puts his body in stress with the moves and quick angles he take.

[@jorgecuello2697]

To be honest Kyrie is better now than in 2016. As a matter of fact last season he averaged the same amount of points( 25 pts) as he he did on the cavs in 2016. He can turn it up whenever he wants but takes a back seat to let luka be the main ball handler and get his teammates involved. Kyrie has explained that back then all he wanted to do was score. He had a big ego. In a interview he said when he was in Boston his mentality going to practice was " I can beat you, you and YOU! can't nobody tell me nothing". But since then he has been on a spiritual path to be more selfless, let go of peoples perception of him and do what is right for the people around him, but man wished he could go out there and play like he has to prove something. I watched game 3 live and it hurt seeing Kyrie passing the ball to luka when he had not score in the 4 the quarter. I kept asking myself " man, did Kyrie forget he is KYRIE FUCKING IRVING!?? Take the ball from fucking luka and go crazy! No one on the Mavs roster is deserving of the ball in the 4th quarter while he is on the court". He played so passive while letting luka take brick after brick.

“Why Kyrie Irving is STILL impossible to guard” 🥱

He def was easy to guard in the finals

@@marcusbrown4933 It's a mental thing. He's known to have mental health problems and Boston and their loud energy definitely got in his head. He was on a 11 game losing streak to boston before game 4.

Kyrie's the most skilled offensive player of all time. Curry is the closest guard to him.

Iyrie Krving

[@TheeKing7]

I would argue that he's second to AI because AI got 5v1 every game and still got crazy numbers regularly, even in the playoffs

[@jorgecuello2697]

Well AI was the only scorer on that team. He would take more than 30 shots a game. I guarantee if you give Kyrie the same amount of shots he would ball out like A.I

[@Flyhr]

@@jorgecuello2697 AI couldn't shoot like Kyrie. Kyrie is 50%FG/40%3PT/90%FT club which makes him one of the most lethal shooters of all time. Go watch Kyrie 1v5 Team USA in practice, he could do that too.

Older Kyrie certainly isnt. Dude got locked up in 2024 NBA Finals.

[@playcost]

he's less explosive now compared to 2014-16 so when he met elite perimeter defenders like derrick white or jrue he no longer has the quickness
