@educationalball @_JasonLT Those are all traits of an elite #1 option. Number 2s need others to create for them/tilt defenses and this clearly isnt the case here. The only knock against him being an elite #1 is a misguided narrative from when he was 25 y/o

[⛰ @studythegoat]

@educationalball @_JasonLT Best ball handler of all time, elite movement off ball, draws doubles 30% of possessions/creates advantage basketball, quick decision maker that doesnt turn the ball over, can beat every p&r coverage, best iso scorer of the 2020s, an atg closer and consistently shoots 50/40/90

[⛰ @studythegoat]

@_JasonLT Nothing but narratives inform this take

@automaticnba @StephenCurry30 @KyrieIrving @isaiahthomas @JoelEmbiid @TheTraeYoung @KingJames @warriors Do you have the FTr?

[⛰ @studythegoat]

@BillyReinhardt The evidence says otherwise

Nets were at their best with just kyrie on the floor over harden + KD/kyrie were +10 on a good sample. We had the bucks down 50 in the 2nd round and wouldve won the chip without harden if not for giannis reckless play

[⛰ @studythegoat]

@8big_foreheads @PlayboyKai_ @craigcartonlive He said kai top 25 ever hes good in my book just a slight misstep on the way

[⛰ @studythegoat]

@TheDunkCentral @craigcartonlive @TheCartonShow He cooked. 4th best guard to ever do it ahead of steph curry at 5

[⛰ @studythegoat]

@NekiasNBA Refs changing the rules on foul baiting makes kyries TS% that much more impressive compared to his contemporaries post asb

Hes over 62% while steph/dame/ant/fox and the rest are sub 60% . Hes always been the best player/scorer from the bunch. Now the context shows it

[⛰ @studythegoat]

@HoopMuse Hes gonna be at this level till 36. Only question now is how many rings can he get over the next 5

[⛰ @studythegoat]

@TheDunkCentral @SIChrisMannix Derozan peaked at 32-33, dame too. This version of steph is the most well rounded hes ever been at age 35/36

And niggas look at me crazy when i say kyrie hasnt peaked yet. More skilled and dynamic than all them dudes. Top 15 all time legacy still being written

[⛰ @studythegoat]

@statmuse 3 best players from the 2017 finals. Longevity >>>

[⛰ @studythegoat]

@Hatedzs Dray didnt tell a lie tbh

Two things can be true - kyrie is less bothered by defense than KD, while KD is a mount rushmore level player

[⛰ @studythegoat]

@RacksBundles @kingdj_5297 Ill never get why ppl think that man seen single coverage

Who started this lie on here?? He seen the exact same coverage as kd

[⛰ @studythegoat]

@TheDunkCentral @kyriecenterig KD been knowing this too

Kyrie is on mike / kobes level of basketball mastery

[⛰ @studythegoat]

@NarayanSomesh @HannibalLeonar4 @OmTweetsAlot lmao lukas producing 1.09 ppp on iso in an offensive scheme designed around him. How is that the most efficient play for the mavs?? For reference kyrie produced ~1.2 ppp on iso last year

Help enlighten me offensive guru

[⛰ @studythegoat]

@NarayanSomesh @HannibalLeonar4 @OmTweetsAlot None of them had the benefit of having the ball for 10 minutes a game. Volume is kicking yall ass fr

Id add dirk bird kawhi joker steph bron to the list that easily boots luka from top 10. Theres more too

[⛰ @studythegoat]

@MEdwardsBball @offdarecord_ @swishcultures_ Kyrie protects it better on the drop opening up more counters. The two best guards in basketball rn

[⛰ @studythegoat]

@MEdwardsBball Once the league stops favoring offensive players foul baiting and start calling a loose whistle like fiba people will finally get how elite this dude is

Pound for pound the best ever

[⛰ @studythegoat]

@joelvmoran Whats the ORTG with kyrie on and luka off?

[⛰ @studythegoat]

@_Kyrieinthe4th_ 🔥🔥🔥

[⛰ @studythegoat]

@seanbush3 No whats surprising is how little he has the ball when luka is playing
