Kyrie Irving - Midrange Mastery 18/19
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- Kyrie Irving. NBA Champion. 6x NBA All-Star. 2014 All-Star Game Most Valuable Player. 2019 All-NBA Second Team. 2015 All-NBA Third Team. Rookie of the Year 2012. FIBA World Cup MVP 2014. 2x USA Basketball Gold Medalist (2016 Rio Olympics, 2014 Spain Basketball World Championships). Kyrie is the most fearsome finisher in the NBA today. His handle is arguably the best in the league. He really does have relentless range, and his creativity and ability off the bounce make him one of the world’s greatest at getting you a bucket (any kind of bucket), whatever the defense, whatever the situation. Add to that his fearlessness, ferocity, and the force and finesse with which he can finish, and you have the foundation for one of the most explosive offensive player in the league. Throw in easily the most outstanding off-hand in the game, and you’d be hard pressed to find a way to stop him.
Irving finished his final season in Boston in the top 15 in scoring (23.8 points per game), steals (1.5 per game), Player Efficiency Rating (12th, just behind Stephen Curry and above the likes of Kevin Durant, Damian Lillard, and Paul George), and finished in the top 10 in the stat Value Over Replacement Player (ahead of LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, Blake Griffin, Kemba Walker, Ben Simmons, and Joel Embiid). His final stretch left a sour taste in the mouths of most Celtics fans, but at the end of the day, he is still as dangerous and as dynamic a scorer that the league has ever seen.
This was made with one thing in mind: a way to appreciate Kyrie but connect him with the late great Kobe Bryant. When you talk about Mamba Mentality, Kyrie and Kobe were two peas in a pod. In an interview with Sirius XM, Kobe Bryant talked about how he was most connected with Kyrie (link below):
Bryant recalled the time Irving called Bryant via FaceTime after the Cleveland Cavaliers overcame a 3-1 deficit and won the 2016 NBA Finals in Game 7 against the Warriors. He was sitting on the couch with Gianna when his phone rang.
“Kyrie’s in the locker room celebrating on Facetime like, ‘Dude, it worked! Your advice worked!,’” Bryant said. “I was really, really proud of him. So I’d say Kyrie is the one I’m closest to.”
Also, for all the flack Kyrie is getting for taking a stand in the face of the social justice issues, I believe he's in the right and I hope people start seeing that.

This is art in its finest form, his turn around jumper and fade plus the footwork is on Mj, Kobe, tmac, vince level, dudes bag is so deep. Master at his craft and Mamba did mentor Kyrie.
Kylie is such an underrated scorer. His career PPG is 24, so essentially if he played 1250 games, he would have 30,000 career points.
Apparently he studied mj and kobe's midrange moves and implemented them into his own game.
@@vedantrohit3508 that is true bro, he did study Mj and Kobe even on road trips on the bus and plane he would be watching film on Mj and Bean. Kyrie was the closest mentee and lil brother to Bean.
@@McFlashh everyone knows how good a scorer kyrie is lol
@@TheMissinLink imagine if he was 6'6/6'7...sheesh
His arsenal is incredible
Arsenal is 4
Indeed
His ability to get any shot from any spot he wants is amazing
The most dazzling brand of basketball I've witnessed in my 40 years of playing, watching, and supporting the sport.
It explains why the players love this young man.
Kyrie Irving is the most fun player to watch and might be the most skillful offensive player in the nba
I’m rocking wit all these Kyrie videos🤙🏾
Me too 🤩
Thank you for these videos. We've tried to tell people that Kyrie is the most skillful player ever. These videos really prove it.
When he's 100%, he's legit one of the best scorers in NBA history, imagine if he was 6'6 lmao... it'd be over.
Kobe said the same thing about ai in his prime lol
@@kingslayerx1716 AI would be a top 5 player all time if he was 6'6 facts 😂
If he was 6'3 he wouldn't have those handles
@@ktk4369 Paul George is 6'9 , height doesn't affect handles and look at KD too
@@JL85477 all I'm saying is if he was 6'6 he most prolly wouldn't have the need to develop those handles
Kyrie one of my favorite players all time his footwork is so smooth he makes it look easy
His main spot it’s the right wing. It’s crazy I been watching him for years and never noticed. He is really good at getting to his spots and it’s incredible how he does it
Kyries offensive arsenal is crazy . Great video . Please do more on midrange
People don't talk enough about the fact that this guy has so many of the same moves, footwork and shots as Kobe and Jordan. Beautiful game! Kyrie and Kawhi right now have the prettiest game in the NBA. Offensive artistry.
Watching kyrie play is an art.
The ball-fake, maintain pivot then spin-away jumpers are unbelievable
Can you do a video of Kyrie's post game for this 2021 season? He has so many overlooked parts to his game because of insane handle and finishing ability.
Love that he's one of the few players still using a 2 motion shot, ever since steph showed how affective he is with his one-motion push shot now everyone wanna adopt that form that used to be how only girls shot.
Kyrie still doing it right. I'm a steph fan too, but leave that style with him. Kyrie, Ray allen, kobe, MJ, and JR smith is the true way to shoot a ball
He plays like a smaller Kobe to me 🤷🏾♂️
Be tryna tell people .... without the dunking kyrie is just like Kobe besides the fact his handles better but they both got crazy finishing they both clutch and that midrange game is hella similar
@@ysktv2.056 💯
Most skilled player of all time.
Kyrie is superb...
Man's bag is crazy deep, ridiculous.
Definitely wouldn’t appreciate the variety of skill of Ky and a lot of dudes if Evin don’t highlight them! Thanks for the content Evin
Kyrie making everyone guarding him look like a complete fool, and these guys are the best players in the world...
I’m definitely one of the ppl who have begged for this😫 best pick and roll ball handler and his midrange is impeccable
digging this little kyrie series going on
WOW, what a beautiful player. He is the best. No one can play that gracefully like kyrie
Even tho he has his moments, this man is a killer, plain and simple
Incredible! He is statistically now the best midrange shooter in the league. Would like a similar video for this season as well.
He is so good at turn-around jumper.
Another wonderful edit thank you!
Most complete game of all time lowkey
*KYRIE IS A REAL MASTER OF ALL STYLE😎💪👊🔥*
You should make a Cavs edition
Kryie is most fun player to watch just phone booth scorer footwork pure
Old school I like it
Kyrie made 2 defenders run into each other at 8:02
Would love to see more of Luka and throwback Steve Nash
Oo yea hes a midrange master for sure 👍🏽
Gets a gold in that ⭐

Commentator: Bam will guard anybody
*Bam guarding kyrie
*Kyrie gets the shot
Commentator: 👁️👄👁️
Dope vid, can we get a Kyrie mid range in isolation vid 16-20?
D Angelo russel mid range mastery next
0:33 Kobe did this move first
ik this is probably a lot to ask, but could you do a highlight reel of duncan robinson? i've personally never seen him play until this season but after watching him light up the celtics two days ago and my bucks today, i am definitely a big fan of his. he is the definition of a sniper
would you believe that I have one (pre-bubble) almost finished?
@@EvinGualberto well now i definitely do cause i just saw it... now i look real stupid lol
@@theofficialtris3454 You shouldn't. I replied like 10 hours before I posted it!
Evin Gualberto yeah i guess so haha. but thank you for all your hard work. i found your channel maybe three or so years ago and your highlight reels really helped me find my passion for the game again and helped me study and learn the game to make the basketball team as a senior after getting cut all of high school
you should make a anthony davis one
This is ridiculous
ouch PJ's ankle 00:34
He really prefers to pull up going to the right
It's harder to block when he elevates from the right, plus normally when you see a right handed guy dribbling full speed you'd be more wary of him scoring the layup more than a pullup
More impressive than his handles tbh

Imagine if he’s 6’7
2019-2020 season kyrie lead midrange ft%
Only played 20 games
@@YER3721 His career mid range stats are on par with KD , Dirk, Nash and older MJ….
@@Thanosdidtherighthing He plays in a weak era of no defense. Derozan, Booker, Durant, Paul, Leonard etc have better mid ranges
@@YER3721 Who plays in a weak era of no defense ? Kyrie plays in the same era as those guys except for MJ
@@YER3721 Derozan is a great short mid range shooter but this long mid range game isn’t impressive and his playoff translation is terrible.
