Tmac: Jaamal Tinsley has better handles than Kyrie

[get these nets]

Dont remember whether Tmac played with Tinsley ?

If he did, saw him up close in practice dribbling out of presses and double teams consistently, so he's seen what he's capable of doing.

Each vet player could name the guy who is the best ball handler he's ever seen up close. C webb said it was Shamgod. Rafer Alston's teammates would say it was him.

Dudes who played with Kyrie's godfather would likely say it was Rod Strickland.

Tmac and Mel were never teammates, unlike Skip who actually played for Houston.

Tmac played the game at the highest level, nobody should have any reason to question his opinion.

You for sure can’t question shyt so you right

You know y’all be trying to make jokes and shyt but I just don’t understand how yall, aka nikkas who ain’t came nowhere near playing at a high level will try to argue against nikkas who was actually in the league

Of that’s how Mac fell that’s how he feel, that’s on him Kyrie and Jamal to work it out

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

Hard to give praise to this pedo politician and create a gateway.

Plus he set the pg wavers who hoop back to the stone ages.

Sohh yeah.
I get it.
The problem is...
Just like hiphop.
How are we supposed to create a gateway. To teach out children.
For our children to gain understanding. When you have a teacher protecting a pedo.
where that pedo has muck'd up the gateway dialogue.


It is just all fukked up.

why is it hard for NBA players to not be clowns when they retire?

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.

Actually the rules changes.
Bring up an inportant cog to kyrie's success. Which have afforded kyrie more chanves to escape physical duress. While still not really having a durable physiological type.
at that height to succeed.
Whereas Before the rule change guards of kyrie's height and stature. Were not given license like back in the day. Evident in boston's brown clamp'n kyrie in the finals.
When under duress in the finals. That eventually this season kyrie broke down again.

Just like previously deep into the offs. Resulted in losses to the warriors via injury. Albeit bron making the bleeding worse. From the stoopidest trade in nba history. To break up the highest pedigreed backcourt in nba history.
Yet and still. When short that last cog. To alleviate the workload in cle. After that trade. Kyrie suffered injuries. When that highest pedigreed backcourt was broken up via trade. Robbing us of the visual.
to see the greatest backcourt in nba history. Plus alleviating the workload. That would have possibly seen kyrie healthier as well.

In the old guard...under rhe older rules. Under physical duress kyrie out the time machine. Maybe susceptiple. To even more injury.

Given a much higher physically abusive and demanding era. That we have to factor into the discussion.

The nba hardware argument gives kyrie sway over the other great ball handlers of all time. As kyrie also hit thee goat game winner in nba history. As well as being a number one pick.

So that is why i wpuld point to kyrie being the goat ball handler.

With the best handle. As said handle allowed kyrie. To gain separation to hit the gw. As well as average the same number of points as the bron.


So historically kyrie's accomplishments under duress. Are why i would put kyrie above others as having the goat handle. As said handle is actualized.
Under the highest duress. Plus gained separstion. To also make the most highest pressure winning play in nba history.

As well as best handle.
Kyrie can also claim to have the best three ball in league history. It is another separate disccusion To be had.
Yet i also believe.
Since kyrie also has best curry in 3 pt competition as well.

Where as bird, curry, and hodges. Never hit a gw.
under that level of duress.
in that moment of finality and converted like kyrie.

So, I located the spot in the full interview. Sounds different in context .

Cued to roughly 1hr 12min 37sec



Who is must see tv for you?


Wemby is special , Shai, and I still love watching Kyrie

Is there anyone youve seen with a handle like that?

 

[RubioTheCruel]

Kyrie had a great response. We all stand on the shoulders of giants in one way or another

 

[King Poetic]

Tinsley just like his nickname was a abuser on the court in the paint on guards

Kyrie shyt is just crazy

too bad he left Cleveland because of LeBron and his crew, because they could have won at least 2 more titles together

 

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

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

Sometimes, he does do unnecessary dribbling or dribble spamming. However, he is the best dribbler ever but he's found something that works for him. When he's going downhill, he's fine. It's during the half court sets that he too gets caught up with dancing with the ball. It just looks ridiculously pretty when he does it.

He really could do a lot more flashing if he wanted to but it would be counter productive

They’re not. It’s just a theme on this board for born insecure online bros…. T Mac’s take ain’t nowhere near as egregious as yall are trying to make it
