I know people will say Allen Iverson, Isiah Thomas, Jamal Crawford, Pete Maravich, Steph Curry, Chris Paul but to me, Kyrie has the best handles that I’ve ever seen. Tbh, I don’t think it’s all that close. Yes, I have seen most of those legends play but I don’t think any of them compare to Kyrie. Whenever I have this opinion, I keep getting told that it’s recency bias and I’m only thinking like that because I’m seeing Kyrie play NOW but it’s eye test. The man has the ball on a string. Personally, I think it’s the highest level of ball handling that has graced the NBA. Just my 2 cents.
I don’t know if I would even put him on the same level as someone like Stephon marbury.
In my opinion he absolutely does. AI still has the best crossover but full package it’s Kyrie.
I think he can do the most impressive things dribbling. I think AI could do less technically, but hated you more so his stuff, while less crazy, was more effective.
Curry is better.
You’re wrong.
Skip 2 my Lou was pretty good
Probably, but Crawford’s length make his moves look slicker (IMO)
Yes
He’s up there. Kyrie, Jason Williams, rafer Alston, isiah Thomas and Tim hardaway are all in the mix
Best ever, and I’m old af
Flashiest, you mean?
The best way to assess who has a good handle is not how flashy they are, but how do they beat players off the dribble, how do they protect the ball, and how often do they turn the ball over as a result of their ball handling?
You could say Michael Jordan has one of, if not the best handle in NBA history by sheer ability of being able to beat players off the dribble, and not turn the ball over.
Tim Hardaway, first of his name.
Easily and the players would agree with this
Yes theres no debate
yeah
