when he first came into the league, he was probably the quickest guy in the league. In fact, he was probably the quickest guy in the league in his first few years in the league. he was so hard to guard. even as he got older, he was still considered to be quick by NBA standards. he was quite the athlete.
@@thefirsttrillionaire2925 that's how evolution works. Many of AI's dribble moves can be considered pretty mediocre in today's game because players today copied his moves and made it better.
Tbh he’s my fav after Kobe I love him, but his handles are good because his footwork, look off and first step is ridiculously crazy. I hold him high because what it takes Steph, harden and kyrie to do in a 10 dribble size up, he can do in a 2 dribble foot and shoulder fake. That’s what made him dangerous as hell
Stop it. Iverson is amazing and the second best handles of all time but Kyrie is in a level of his own. Simply put Kyrie do what he wants not what he needs.
10 yrs ago when I just started learning bskball, I downloaded maybe 30 AI videos and watched every day! Wow! now I know Irving, Curry, Harden etc, but when I check out this video... That's AI! Always my favorite!
@@xxneweraxx7422 It's not AI who made the song. He made music yes but this song is not from him. He just had the same artist name so people mistake the people who made this song for AI (and voice kinda similar). But it's 100% not him.
Am I the only one that just doesn't think Iverson's bag was deep?? He really only had a crossover which when I watch his highlights to me wasn't all that impressive. Kyries way better
Idk about feast. AI was not a good shooter. To my knowledge he’s actually the 2nd worst volume shooter in NBA history. His best seasons shooting the ball he was average at best
@@MrFly151 His prime coincided with the worst spacing and lowest pace of all time. Specifically in 2002-03 and 2003-04 when the league saw all-time dips in FG%. Compared to other point guards of his era who were of similar size and played in similar system, he was not bad. For reference, see Chauncey Billups (who has a reputation for shooting and nicknamed Mr. Big Shot), Jason Kidd, Stephon Marbury, Steve Francis, and Baron Davis. These are other perennial all-star guards of the 2000s who were of similar height/weight as Iverson. BasketballExamined is an id10ta who pushes that fake agenda that Iverson was a bad shooter compared to stars of his era. Stupidly, he compares him to Ray Allen (a top 2 shooter ever), Vince Carter and Paul Pierce who are above average shooters in any era, and McGrady, and Kobe. For one, all of these players are at least 6’5 and up to 6’8. Secondly, Kobe and McGrady are no better at shooting than Iverson, and McGrady was 6’8 and Kobe played alongside another top 10 player in Shaq who took defenses off of him. Once rules were changed in 2005-06, Iverson’s percentages skyrocketed from the low 30’s to the high 40’s and he never shot below 45% again in his prime. Even before he was traded to Denver, his shooting increased drastically. It’s unfair to malign his shooting ability because he didn’t have the benefit of playing with today’s spacing and pace. IMO, he would average around 38 PPG on nearly 50% shooting.
@@officialconch if you believe a 6ft 160 pound sub par athletic guard in todays game is averaging 38 ppg shooting 50% from the field I truly think you’re living in a deluded fantasy.
@@MrFly151 How was Iverson subpar athletically? He regularly dunked on the break, had a plethora of putbank dunks over his career, and was described as having the quickest first step of all time by Greg Popovich. You must be young and skip every grainy video you see. Iverson is one of the most athletic players to ever play the game! The current player that reminds me the most of him is Ja Morant. Iverson couldn’t dunk as ferociously as Ja, but it’s what I imagine he could have done if he had the extra 4-5 inches in height. His vertical jump was measured at 41 inches, the same as Dr. J and more than Kobe who was measured at 38”… From what I can find, Westbrook’s vertical is 36.5”, Derrick Rose’s was 40”, and Ja’s is 44”. Calling Iverson subpar athletically is wild. He was a top football prospect and those skills transferred on the defensive end. No, he didn’t just play “passing lanes” to get steals. He relied on that football-like athleticism. For example in 2001, you couldn’t play passing lanes, that was considered illegal defense. He led the league in steals per game because his timing was so on-point, he could play right in front of his man and jump vertically into the air to intercept the ball. He had large hands and clawed at the ball in a Kawhi-like manner. Who, by the way, says Iverson his favorite player. Everything I just said is verifiable with a quick google searches and a trip to bball reference. Check out AI3TV and pennyccwai on RUclips if you don’t know, but for your sake, don’t make statements like that and sound like a complete CASUAL!! 😒😒
@@Serze69 if you look at the moves he’s doing the guys not wrong. It’s normal today. If you matched the same AI vs Curry today Curry would prob look better. But AI pioneered handles so he’s a handle goat. Kyrie’s handles are better and more skilled but that’s jsut evolution of the game. AI is a legend for starting it, Kyrie has just added a new level of mastery and one day someone else will create an even crazier level of mastery.
except do it for 42 minutes all game, 82 games a season. AI was quicker and more explosive - thats the difference .... Iverson was also a better defender and better passer. Kyrie is the GOAT of skills, but hes not the same animal that Iverson was, mentally or athletically
Im not use to being a hater but his handles are mediocre compared to Kyries tbh, idc what anyone says. Melo Ball and countless others could dribble like this, but very very few got it like Kyrie.
Kyrie is just way more crafty with his handles but iverson’s were just as deadly, less flashy but his athleticism and explosiveness allowed him to pass defenders with less moves, btw Ai handles were revolutionary, Kyrie and a lot of other great ball handlers got inspired by him
CAP!!!!! None of them dudes have the same explosion and energy like AI had. Thats the difference. IVERSON was in attack mode for 48 minutes. and KYRIE is the GOAT of handles and is a better shooter than Iverson... but you think Kyrie is Kyrie without Iverson? Dude came into the league when Irving was like 4 years old. who you think he emulated?
@@NoreMediaNOLA bro what are you even saying? You say it’s cap then go on to say the very same thing I said. Sure iverson was a decent handler for his time, but that evolved.
@@ugotarbysvag9078 ITS CAP that you say it was mediocre and that many others can dribble like this .... thats cap bro .... nothing about Iversons handle was mediocre.
no one says that ... but Iverson was a better player, overall. Kyrie is just more efficient. Iverson was a better athlete, better defender and better passer. and overall a better scorer. i love Kyrie, but there are some differences here
Yup better than Kyrie! They didn't really put his best handles on film. But if you had a chance to watch him play then you know he beats Kyrie by a few miles!.I got to watch both eras and I would take Allen over Kyrie 100% of the time.
i mean i love him but what about other guys that deserve to be great. i mean kyrie is even better after draining the clutch three. is curry better cuz of leading anyone in playoff threes made or lebron just hacked enveryone in ohio i dont think so
imagine being a ankle doctor in the nba during Iversons era.
Podiatric doctor if I can remember. Too lazy to google it
I think there are more ankle breakers now because players are getting better at ball handling.
Mad business!
Job Security
Never lose your job
NBA players: I forgot how to sit down
Iverson: let me help

iverson is speed and control at its finest.
Iversons crossover is cleaner and deadlier thank kyre’s The separation he creates even with 2 moves and he is already cleared the defender ..
Iverson has the better pure crossover.
Kyrie has the best handle tho
Idc what anyone says Iverson has the best handles maybe of all time
No
@@kngenze5982 yes
His handle package is mad overrated because of his crossover
@@iwhite111 his eurostep is another very good thing. he is also very explosive. nothing overrated.
@@slowmotionbetterthannomotion. his overall handles are overrated. Not taking anything away from his quickness and crossover
How do u not include the MJ crossover
He was Kyrie before Kyrie but smoother.
Am I the only one that just doesn't think Iverson's bag was deep?? He really only had a crossover which when I watch his highlights to me wasn't all that impressive. Kyries way better
If he played with today's space he would be so lethal, even with a mediocre three. He was feasting in the lane with three bigs attention on him.
Exactly, misses from the time of infiltrations, now it's just a three-way kick.
