dude if you’ve watched kyrie you know he’s actually a 6’8 forward in a point guards body. dude has a whole post game and uses it on bigger players all the time. and he doesn’t even foul bait like everyone else. should get more calls tbh
@urihamilton1077 Kyrie is the most disrespected superstar. He rarely ever gets calls from the refs even when it's obvious fouls. Part of it is that he never flops, but also, they don't like him. Given how elite he shoots free throws, he would be averaging in the 30s easily if he got the calls Luka, Harden etc gets every game!
@@Goose21i can confirm it is his strength that allows him to do this. i use to try this stuff but could never do no matter what. i thought i just wasn’t good enough but when i started calisthenics, i was finally able to finish these moves. obviously i’m no where near kyries level but for any young hoopers who are struggling, strength is a big part of that.
@@blocktrain849why are you so pressed? Did your girl leave you for him? Let the guy have his own favourite player. How does that impact your miserable pathetic life?
Another underrated thing Kyrie does at an elite level is use his body to protect the ball 🏀 no one does that better than him that’s why he’s a great finisher at the basket.
I went to high school with 2 NBA players (and 1 in college) - they're still very close friends of mine. And through them I've gotten to know others. I don't think people understand how good NBA players are compared to the average person, or even great rec ball players. The one friend doesn't play that much and probably won't be picked up again after his contract is over, but compared to anybody at the gym he walks all over them. It's nuts
I still remember seeing kyrie in HS before he committed to Duke. If I could have bet on him at the time to be an NBA all-star, I would have bet my house. His handle has obviously improved since, but it was magical to watch before he even hit 18. What has always impressed me is his ability to move like a rabbit. He can move laterally at breakneck speed. Maintaining composure of his dribble alongside that is really something special. The only comparison is Pistol Pete. He wasn't nearly as fast moving laterally, but he really didn't need to. He was also a much better passer out of the dribble. He had Jokic-like vision with the best dribble of anyone the next few decades.
You must have never seen pre-Georgetown Allen Iverson then.lol.Iversom could turned pro at 16...he was THAT good...he was so good in fact, he got locked up in high school, was facing 10 years and was already thr number one overall draft pick thr day he stepped foot on Georgetown's campus. Now Kyrie is definitely a better shooter than Iverson but as far as moving laterally, ball control and mixing moves together and understanding pace, Iverson was above par slightly. And he was only 6 feet 160 pounds. Also, Pistol had better vision than the Joker. Besides Magic, Zeke Thomas, Mark Jackson, Jason Williams, Bird or Kidd, I don't think anyone could see the game like Pete. He had had an extra flair with it that Joker doesn't have. Pete would be thr best point or shooting guard into today's game. Sort of like Lamelo Ball but a better overall shooter.
@@WallTrapMedia My favorite anecdote about Maravich, from a documentary, was that when he first got to the pros there was a play where he could pass the ball far up-court for an easy layup, but instead, he rolled the ball up the floor. The guy to catch the ball was so pissed that he just let the ball roll out of bounds and said, "that's no way to pass a ball". The image of it makes me smile.
I've always noticed that - he's always big-boying guys in the lane (especially for his size) and people only talk about his "handles" like that's all he's doing!
I think what a lot of people don’t give him credit for especially as he’s gotten older is how strong he goes to the basket my opinion he’s usually getting hacked a little bit he maintains control and is always using his shoulders and hands and body this is why no one on this world can guard that guy. He’s about 30 now right?
Dude got handles, but he doubles at the beginning. When I was a baller, I pounded the ball like that too. It brought the ball back up faster, and improved my drilling skills. The slight hesitation helps with ant-D.
He dont carry .. ur watching from a camera pov That is why it looks like he is carrying like cradling most of the time But If ur in live position u can see is just suspending the ball mid air and not touching it.. if ur a baller u know the purpose of that, that is tech for quick switching direction
@@masteraqua2408 LOL. Love that! I went outside and dribbled and yep, yu ur right. I do that too...that was my directional change\delay. My bad. I just do it. Well, used to, anyway. Now my knees hurt.. 😁 Thanks. 🤕
More than the handles. I love how he uses his body in the most beneficial way…to create space, shield the ball, get a better look, keep his defender guessing, just awesome.. watching basketball played at this level is art.
So much love and fun to watch kyrie play. u are my second idol bro since kobe retired. As ur fan I love u so much. One of my dream to see u someday even if its impossible, i pray for ur comeback next season stay healthy and humble
Kyrie is the most well-rounded, skilled and attractive one on one player I’ve ever seen, in terms of how he breaks defenders down off the dribble. Steph has like two or three moves he always goes to. Harden does the same dance over and over. Kyrie mixes it up.

Exactly what I thought as well. Dribbles that thing harder then the average player with insane control
Its a counter move he doesnt really have control. The best ball handlers purposely slightly lose control of the ball to throw the defender off guard.

he's still just as fast just changes pace more efficiently now
