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

It's when Kyrie turns on the low dribble in traffic that's :wow:

Dude does this thing where when he's in traffic, he'll suddenly drop his dribble to about four or five inches off the ground so no one can get to the ball.

Pearl Washington is the only other cat I saw would do that to basically run straight through traffic

Word? You seen him play? got any highlight tapes of his handles for the coli to judge? :rudy:
Yeah I've seen him play. Marvich is top 5 don't let the lack of melanin fool you, young man.,

I remember watching him was such a treasure as little guy :banderas:


Curry is basically Tiny Nate Archibald 2.0 as well.

But for these younger cats, Jamal Crawford definitely has the best crossover games.

I'm 73 btw.

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 :wtf: at the speed of Eric Gordon. The broadcast cameras do a really terrible job of conveying the actual speed these dudes move at.


Nah,kyrie has slowed down just a bit,but Eric Gordon been fast,i was shocked at how fast he was when he used to play with D.Rose on Mean Streets Express,nikka was almost as fast as Rose from end to end

Didn't watch him play the last couple of years but Eric Gordon used to be otherworldly fast, particularly his first step.

To this day, Baron Davis still has the best handle I've ever seen. It's crazy that nobody mentioned him yet. I'm not stuck in the moment tho.. Kyrie's handle are filthy but I wouldn't put him over Davis.

It's not about being stuck in the moment. I find Kyrie handle to be better. BD was more of a bull with the ball than Kyrei, not as dribble gifted IMO

If Baron Davis had 10 healthy seasons he'd be considered a top 3 PG all time.

Baron's handle was sick, period. IMO he had the best handle ever.

Facts that. In my era(00s to now), the only PGs I thought were better than prime Baron Davis were Mvp Rose, Curry, and Westbrook. What made Davis so special was the fact that he had it all. He could get 20 & 10 assists without hogging the ball, he was a beautiful passer, he had the jump shot(but poor shot selection), his handles and crossover were second to none, he had size and he was clutch. Baron with Kobe's mentality would've been savage.

:what: no way would he be top 3

He would be easily. He had no weaknesses. HE was a great defender, great passer, finisher, had range, had a post up game, and was clutch as hell. I'll never forget that they added replay because he officials wrongly waived off his buzzer beater in the playoffs. He even averaged a triple double or something in a playoff series.

He was athletic as hell too, despite looking pudgy.

Breh that's what separates him Imo. He then throws the ball away and goes and gets it shyt is amazing real talk. I never seen no shyt like that. If he had a hear fake like curry breh would be unstoppable.
