Is it Safe to say that Kyrie Irving got the best handle ever?

Still can't believe Kidd didn't try to see him with the hands after this...:skressed:

He's gained more muscle mass and those injuries seemed to have slowed him down so he's not as quick as he was his first 3 years but he's still deadly.

Nah, I think he's just as quick, those cameras at courtside show just how fast these NBA dudes really are.




There was an old clip of Eric Gordon dunking on the Jazz from a similar angle and the dude looked like he was moving in Fast forward. I wish I could find it again, dudes would be like at the speed of Eric Gordon. The broadcast cameras do a really terrible job of conveying the actual speed these dudes move at.

I've seen him live on the floor about 10 times this season. Granted....his legs weren't where they needed to be as he was still working his way back during the majority of the regular season so you might be right.

His handle wasn't as tight either but thats to be expected. He is for sure at his core much stronger than he's ever been.

You have Steph above Kyrie? I think they're on the same level, with one difference, Kyrie has the better handling moving forward as in his goal is to get by the defender where as Steph is better at creating separation to get his shot off. Kyrie is better north/south and Steph is better east-west.

Kyrie's handle is better east-west than Steph's also. The threat of Steph's shot is what's getting everyone off of their defense stance playing against him, but pure handle Kyrie is pretty much better in any category.

I dunno about ever, but his handles are FILTHY

It doesnt work like that

He's a fast-twitch athlete. Muscle doesn't slow you down it makes you more explosive. Why you think running backs and olympic sprinters are so jacked?

You're right about the second part tho. People forget that this dude broke his knee less than a year ago. This is why he's finally been looking more like his old form this past series.

Well his explosion and speed took a hit this season.

I've never seen this dude get caught at the rim and blocked as much as he has but like we said that could part of his overall physical climb back to where he was.

He was also getting stripped more. That never happened prior to this season.


He spent most of last summer not walking and now he's playing better than he ever has.

 

[Black Ball]

Definitely the best flashy/impressive looking handle. Maybe CP3 is as good or better on just pure effectiveness with his handle though.

 

[GilSho]

I still think CP3 is the best ever.

 

[H@LLOW]

Can he make them 3s tho.
