I always wonder why everybody makes this comp. To me Damian Lillard is more similar to Iverson than Kyrie is. Smallest guy on the court but has the biggest heart, and nobody can stay in front of him not even necessarily because of his crazy handles but just because he's quicker than everybody else. But if we're making this comp... Kyrie is probably the best pure ball handler of all time...but like they say AI was faster. So in a way I would say AI was a more effective player even if Kyrie is technically more skilled. AI dragged a sorry team to the Finals by himself, Kyrie has never and will never do that.
As far as ball handling the comp of Kyrie & AI makes perfect sense. But as far as a overall player i totally agree that Dame would be most similar to AI
Well one guy would carry most of the time.. they literally interviewed that one ref who would gamble and he literally stated that they would rig games by calling all of iversons Carry’s lol cause they truely were Carry’s
Kyrie for sure. But for me, AI is the better all around player and his toughness in addition to his speed is why he could carry that sixers team to the finals and steal game 1 against Kobe/Shaq Lakers. Kyrie is great and has his big time moments for sure, but he ain't that guy.

Iverson walked so Kyrie could run! Kyrie’s handles are crazy!
💯💯
Best hoop pod out there - John has crazy ball knowledge! & I love AI, but I gotta go with Kyrie on this, sadly
@@Mrgadget1234 appreciate the love!! I agree i also would say Kyrie has more handles

Kyrie got more handles but AI quicker

I 100% agree man. Kyrie got more speed but he could never carry a team to the finals like how AI did.
Come on.. kyrie all day!. Before Kobe peak he shut down iverson. Why is this debate??wtf
There DEFINITELY is a debate & a good one too. Just watch this video & u will see. Although i do agree it is Kyrie who wins it
