Even though this three isn’t particularly spectacular
Kyrie is a name that doesn’t get brought up enough when people mention all time three point shooters
He shoots 40% from 3 throughout 14 seasons
And when you factor in the percentage of 3s he creates himself and not off of passes, it’s even more impressive.
Preach
People think he’s better than Steph which is obvious insane but he doesn’t get enough credit sometimes I feel.
Best handles of all time
Beat layups of all time
50/40/90 club, and pretty much there every season, so one of the best shooters of all time.
Also he’s like 4 foot 9 or w/e so it’s crazy what he’s accomplished
He’s an all time great #2 who basically ruined his career in terms of winning because he didn’t want to be with LeBron. He is not a #1. That is true along with everything else you said. Most people only want to acknowledge one side of this with Kyrie and not the other. He also has the flat earth stuff and some other things. Nobody ever really talks badly about his basketball game.
Same listed height as Steph. Hes taller than you think, just very slight build and not long
Best layups of all time
I’m gonna pump the brakes a little there
Prolly MJ? Hard to say it isn’t
He gets enough credit
Without question. When you really breakdown Kyrie’s scoring ability it becomes clear how much a mix of himself and injuries have held him back
Maybe the best ball handler of all-time, maybe the best layup package of all-time, one of the best 3pt shooters of all-time, all-time midrange game, all-time footwork…
Im so glad kyrie is playing basketball again man
oh its beautiful…
Flagg has an absolutely elite motor, damn. Furthest away from basket after that block, but still hustled back and fully ready to follow up on a transition 3 miss. In a preseason game.
The chasedown block into the Kyrie three is the kind of sequence that swings a game. Flagg’s timing on the rejection was great.
Chasing down Amen Thompson in transition is no joke. That’s one of the fastest guys in the league.
Amens a dumbass if he thought attempting that dunk was a good idea
Hard to tell but it sorta looks like he was getting a load of front rim with that dunk even if it wasn’t swatted.
He’s doing all of this without the length of KD.
i know its absolutely meaningless but its still wild that kyrie takes at least 4 steps after the dribble
His dribble was still live for 3 of those steps. He picked up his dribble into a jump stop.
Luka for Flagg trade seems like it will pan out
ha ha… yeah… wait hol up?
