Tmac: Jaamal Tinsley has better handles than Kyrie

[David_TheMan]

kyrie is the most overrated player of his generation.

Moochie with the keys would have been

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

Best post in the thread.

Kyrie's other skills makes his dribbling skills untouchable. Tinsley and others didn't have the pull up jump shot or the acceleration to get to the rim. His overall skill skill is just crazy good.

However, yea there is a lot of shyt guys didn't try back in the day out of fear of getting called for a turnover.

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

I liked KJ back then. I recall his game. His handles were nice. The gap between his handles and Kyrie is not “a little”.

Kyrie does palming and carrying. you take away the laxness in rules and KJ is just as good or slightly less than Kyrie

Kyrie has THE greatest handle in NBA history so I won't buy into this. We can bring up a lot of names but no one is outright better then him in handling the basketball and Jamal Crawford is probably the closest.
