It's hard to pin down Kyrie's prime as he literally came into the league this good and has pretty much maintained it throughout. He may not have even reached his prime yet. Who's to say?
@@guardseanfr he was definitely flashiest on the Cavs, but he's become a better shooter in his later years. His handle was also tighter when he played for the Cavs. With that said, he still does the most outrageous stuff and is pretty efficient
I remember kyrie said he would practice different combo moves around the house and in his backyard a lot of times just shadow dribbling without a basketball.
In a league now where everyone carries every possession nonstop and travels just as much, he has the most fluid movements and footwork in today’s game. Not even close! I thought currys handles were comparable for a while, but watching kyrie get anywhere he wants on the floor without carrying the ball every second is just phenomenal
Kyrie Irving is one of the basketball players I idolize and who are one of my favorite for a reason. 💯 I hope he’s able to get another ring in the near future.
there is a physical prime and skills/iq prime, when the second can increase with time and experience unfortunetely the first slightely decrease every year after 27~28 years old for most of the players (a player staminia is the more affected, so he intuitively, progressively begin to play slower and with less explosivity and physical effort because he know or feel that he will be quickely winded ) and when you look to kyrie he's clearly not as quick and strong and explosive as his cleavland 's or boston's years especially after his multiple injuries, so he's not at his physical prime anymore and i don't think that kyrie with his injuries problems and age now can recover his best physical condition but he's still an execptional artist and is better at his pg role than before.
@@aminezouaoui9529 You clearly don't know what you're talking about....Kyrie's game is better than it ever was in every way. He's even more efficient across the board, in the best physical condition of his life and as quick and explosive as ever. Your comment is crazy talk!!
@@shipitplease99999 that is pretty crazy to think about.. some players are just great individual players but at the expense of their teams overall success
@@shipitplease99999 Kyrie only played in Boston 2 years. His 1st year they were the 2nd seed. He played most of that season but He missed the playoffs cause of injury. His 2nd year they were the 4th seed and lost in the 2nd round to the bucks. The bucks that had the best record in the nba and the mvp. So he didn't have early playoff EXITs with them. He had 1 early one with them in the 2nd round. And just to let you know the Celtics changed coaches 2 years after Kyrie left after the Celtics lost in the first round. Quit going off media narratives and get your facts straight.
2:20 that move on curry is insane the man a genius with the rock I can't lie how do you fake the fake spin all while switching the ball to the other hand right into the rock and pull the man nasty😂💯
Kyrie was bonkers on the Celtics. You almost forget about these times because he struggled with injuries in Boston quite a bit, as well as all the recent drama. Feels like a lifetime ago
I think current kyrie is actually a better player. Younger kyrie was quicker or used his quickness more but current ky is smarter and more relaxed in his play. It looks like how he played his first 2 seasons but with a bigger skill set.
exactly cavs kyrie was flashy, current kyrie is just him knowing where his spots are and getting to them, doesn’t need to do to much really, one or two moves and he’s there
Kyrie is still in his prime. The most beautiful game to watch in the history of the NBA under the rim. When you add under and above together I'll go with THE GOAT.
No his best version we are looking at. He’s literally better in the regular season stats and just as good in the post season stats. 50 40 90 guy in Brooklyn. Sure he won more in Cleveland but kyrie has done nothing but get better every single season I refuse to believe that kyrie peaked 6 years ago😂
Kyrie was best mentally in cavs, wasn’t too cocky without real confidence and wasn’t a softie after fighting the media, kyrie got a dawg in him I want to see it again, he too soft rn to be in his prime despite being in prime age.
Nets fan here and as a New Jerseyan, I followed Kyrie in his highschool days. The guy pound for pound is probably the most skilled basketball player of his generation. It’s just too damn bad he doesn’t have that burning desire in him to be the best ever - That Kobe and MJ mentality.
nah it was bc of injuries bro. kyrie missing the first year playoffs after an amazing season, gordon heyward returning from his injury in the second season. that team just got no time to gel with eachother. and boston didn’t want kyrie back so he left🤷♂️ stop blaming eveything on kyrie lol
@@joshlaguardia6568 wdym we didnt want him back we did we were mad that he sucked when we faced the bucks bc we were the clear cut better team he played trash we still wanted him as you can tell by our reaction every time he steps into td garden you dont know alot do you?
Wow, what a player. It is a shame that the Mavericks are not able to appreciate the greatness of Kyrie. The coach is benching him too much. And even when he is playing, his teammates hardly gives him the ball. They keep giving Luka the ball or they pass to one another. Does not the coach knows who is Kyrie???????
Man, this makes me think that if he stayed, the C’s (my favorite team) would have won a championship by now. The nucleus is legit the same as when he played for them. It’s a shame. We were just a Kyrie away…
I love how people say “Kyrie never made his teammates better” but they constantly ignore his first year in Boston where took the team to a 16 win streak and was a first seed majority of the season.
I argue his prime is current and these past few years. He has had impressive scoring numbers his entire career, but his scoring is significantly higher (nearly 30ppg at times) this season/last 2 seasons & dropping 40-50 bombs. Who knows though, he is just such a good player and probably has many more years left in him.
This is his prime given his skill and responsibility to lead a good time as the first option.. he had to control the game with his scoring, IQ, and ability to read defenses for his teammates at the highest level. Plus, he was fresh off leaving bron… he was very motivated
I'm not gonna lie I always thought kyrie got screwed with the Gordon Hayward situation. He never got to play with the team that he signed on to play with. He ended up shooting himself in the foot 20 times yes but he did kind of get screwed.
