Kyrie doesn't do unnecessary shyt, he's trying to be the best player in the league.

On the same note I'm looking forward to when this generation become the old heads, they're gonna be shytting all over the 90s/early 00s dudes. For all their insecure takes over the years :mjlol:

nikkaz act like.
they never seen.
or done any pistol pete drills tho.

Kyrie has a great answer.

In general Young people suffer from an unactualized self antiquated meets self equated existence. Where they are misled to think. The world started with their birth in this realm.

Which is goofie and ignorant..
Plus lacks wherewithal to understanding.

Tinsley was nice with the handles.


But why does Tmac refuse to give the proper props to the current gen? He aint no hater but he is a "my era was better" typer analysis.

:dahell:





This not true. He just don't dikkride every current player and actually know bout the history and past players unlike most fans that talk hoops online these days. Also there been a decline in the elite level top 5, 10 level players compared to his time so there ain't as much players to praise especially Americans TMac era at that level of player was better. Much better.

TMac era the top American hoopers was Shaq, Duncan, Kobe, KG, AI, TMac, Pierce, JKidd, VC, Ray, young Bron and DWade.

In 2020s its Tatum, Hali, Ant, Ja, Brunson, DMitch, Jaylen, Booker, Cade, Trae, LaMelo.... Then ya get to nikkas like JDubb, Mobley, JJJ, Amen :mjlol: good players but nah

Ray in Milwaukee and Seattle arguably better than any 2020s era American player besides JT and he probabl wasn't even a top 10 American in TMac era. Still got 2010s nikkas like Bron, Steph, KD, Kawhi, Harden makin All NBA teams the last couple seasons past they prime deep into they 30s. Older players def peep the decline in American superstar level play so there ain't as much to praise.

Kyrie's handle & ability to finish in traffic always reminded me of KJ from the Suns. Kyrie's handle is a little better but KJ was more explosive in his prime finishing above the rim in traffic

Zeek still has the goat handle era for era, and its not about how many dribbles or fancy it looks either.

With that said Kyrie is better than Tinsley

Another underrated handle, he got to where he wanted ALL of the time, deadly at the top of the key

Yall reacting like he said Bob Sura

His ability to manipulate the ball isn’t that far off from Ky’s

But Ky has that god level handle + elite quickness and elite finishing so he’s able to chain shyt together that others simply cannot . ..but it’s not all just handle .


Also we do have to factor in the relaxing of carrying and traveling rules .

Kyrie is best imo but it’s goofy to act like it’s sacrilegious to name others who have a claim

Mel had crazy handles, but Kyrie has better handles.

Kyrie for his entire career was either a #1 or #2 option on offense and he was killing dudes with handles. There's a difference when you are just another starter like Tinsley was and then being a guy like Kyrie that other teams use strategy to stop him. Fatigue is a big factor in here.
