Durant: "Irving is better than Iverson". Agree?

I may be bias because I'm a big Kyrie fan but he has the potential to be one of the greatest pgs ever and from a skills perspective he already is.

Kyrie has better handles and he's a better finisher at the rim than Iverson...people need to give Kyrie time, his legacy is not yet complete.

if kyrie play in the regular seaon exactly how he plays in the finals he would be talked about as one of the altime greatest pointguards. 29 points per game in the finals

2:49 BRO THATS AMAZING DEFENSE

2:30 is one of my favorite plays of anyone all year. i came here specifically to find that move

BRUH EVERYBODY TAKING THIS SHIT OUT OF CONTEXT. KD said kyrie is better than iverson if we just talking skill. Do yall know wtf skill is. Skill is: ball handling, shooting, tough shot making, finishing. The necessary skills you need in order to be a pro basketball player. And in that regard kyrie is better than iverson, but ai was definitely the better overall PLAYER. People are idiots

I am here to disagree with the statement lol

Kyrie handles is explosive. It's a combination of power, speed, finesse, control, and accuracy. No one and I mean no one dribbles like him.

For sure. Both are great players, with Kyrie being my favorite player ever. I think Kyrie is better than Allen Iverson because: - 3" height advantage - Finishes better - Shoots better - Better handles - Already has a ring (no disrespect to Allen Iverson) - Scores in a lot more ways than A.I. But at the same time, Kyrie has had LeBron help for quote some time. I'm not sure how well Kyrie would play on his own, just how Iverson led the 76ers all by himself. Just my point of view. What do you guys think?

Kyrie is definitely better than AI, one of the most overrated players ever. AI had a great Finals but Mutombo did the most for the team for that playoffs. Plus, to this day, people believe that the ECF was rigged or at least had unfair refereeing. Kyrie's performance in the playoffs last season was more impressive than Iverson in 2001.

It’s crazy to believe that Kyrie has been teammates with Lebron, Kd, James Harden, and Luka

He's not a point guard. He's a shooting guard. I seen like 1 assist these whole finals highlight. He's still great as hell tho.

when its all said and done he will be

He’s a better basketball player than AI. This isn’t a hot take it’s just reality.

This series without kd would have been one of the goats

Kyrie has more tricks and handles up hes sleeve but AI is more dominant he carried a franchise all the way to the finals with a bunch of trash players despite losing to the lakers

I trust a player's assessment than people in the comment section.

Exactly what I'm saying i would love to see dame or Westbrook do this in the finals

I think kyrie is the greatest iso player of all time.

Irving should have been the leader of the team down the stretch. He can actually finish. Should have taken the last 5-10 shots every game.

God damn this career really is so fucking awesome!!!

Also, I know this is way late, but KD and Simmons meant that statement as like a skill for skill thing, and how Kyrie has just a way bigger scoring arsenal than AI did, but definitely a lot of that is because Kyrie is playing in 2017, not 2001.

Kyrie will go down as having the deepest bag of all time. Imo he has a case as the most skilled overall of all time.

If I made the shot he made at 3:24 in 2K I'd laugh and be like "Well, sometimes stupid shit goes in in video games, that probably wouldnt go in in real life."

7:04 curry from the baseline 😳

Iverson carried a whole of nobodys we probably dont even remember and kyrie carried a whole team to a top 5 pick every year without lebron cant even win 1 game without him....This nigga just talkin crazy now cause of that 1 ring i hope he gets injured now cause he just disrespected a legend

129 points, 4 assists

Every time kyrie scores everyone’s face :😪

It’s crazy how spectacular Kyrie & Lebron was this series, just still lose in 5 games.

Yes Kyrie needs to stop getting injured!

How can the Cavs even attempt to trade this man !!!!!!!!!!!! I know pg13 is the man but cmon Uncle Drew is to good to give up lol

How can someone who never played against prime iverson say something like this. Trying to talk up your competition to make your win look like a bigger accomplishment. smh

He got hurt this series

When I compare players, the first thing I say is can you win a title with either player as your best player. I don’t think you could do that with either of them. Then I would ask, could either of them be a top 3 player on a championship team. The answer is yes for Kyrie. I don’t think Iverson’s ego would ever let him be the second or third option on offense. Kyrie is more efficient and can’t be defended by any single player or team defense. It’s easily Kyrie over Iverson for me.

classic

agree

if you think Kyrie Irving is better than Allen Iverson I know for a fact you weren't watching basketball before 2007 Allen Iverson was the scorer that was on par with Kobe in the 2000 it was Kobe Allen Iverson T-Mac they were the three dominant scorers in that era until LeBron came a little later but Allen Iverson was still averaging 30

Welcome to the Celtics 🍀🍀

Irving mvp

When Kyries career is over he will be better but for right now ill say no.

Nah AI was a Scoring machine who was too Fast for anyone

AI carried his team to the finals kyrie couldn't even make it to the playoffs without lebron help

Too soon.

I'd still give the scoring advantage to AI but everything else I'd give to kyrie

Ok . Kyrie Irving is much better than Stephen Curry . *Hands up*

we know damn well kyrie is not better than ai

We all know AI the goat everyone has they own opinion so why debate lol if others think kyrie better then so be it🤷🏽‍♂️ Debating is not in my section lol But I can give you my honest opinion with this debate I’m a fan of both they both better in they’re own way👌🏽

Iverso lead a team to the finals, Kyrie can't even win regular season games without Lebron.

hello no!!! Remember... AI is the reason why the league started allowing the zone

Kyrie is like a mini lebron james with better handles

Kyrie is a better Shooter and a more efficient scorer plus a better defender. Over AI all day

Warriors won this trade

Kyrie couldn't even take a bunch of bums to the playoffs, A.I took bums to the Finals and won 1 game against the Lakers.

kd is drunk

IT OK KYRIE, PAUL GEORGE WILL MAKE HIS ARRIVAL VERY SOON TO CLAIM THAT #24 JERSEY

maybe in the future irving can...but now he cant...

Kyrie averaged about 30 in this series and Lebron averaged a 34 point triple double in this series and they still lost in 5 💀💀 Golden state was Raw

irving is better than curry

Nah iverson is stronger and more all around a better passer and defender and as for now (maybe later) ai a better scorer

I think he's more skilled offensively and clutcher but Irving doesn't have Iverson defense or passing skills at all

Kyre won a ring Iverson did not

he didn't show up every game in the 2017 Finals and allowed Steph to Average 7 Rbs a game. However his handles are almost as Good as ZEKE's

How he better than AI if he aint even better than Curry

All yall niggas talk like AI got 5 rings lmao. Yall keep bringin up the ONE year ai went to the finals. DOES HE NOT HAVE ANY OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENTS? AI is great, but if you gonna make a case for him being better than Kyrie, atleast bring up some other shit than he went to the finals. What did Ai do when he went to the nuggets when they were stacked? I'll wait. AI has an MVP and finals appearance in the same year.. ok. So does Steph, who also has more MVPS and more rings than Kyrie, but we all KNOW Kyrie is better than Steph. Stop the bullshit guys. I know you all are big fans of who AI was as a character as well as an NBA star, and so am i, but stop the bullshit. This is in no way disrespectful to Allen Iverson, since Kyrie is a legend in his own right. KD was simply talking about individual talent and skill. POUND for POUND, PLAYER for PLAYER, Kyrie is better than Allen Iverson.

Lebron or Kyrie? lmao

Lmao Curry outplayed him in these finals get outta here

Ai so overrated. You would swear he had a ring the way people talk about him

these aresome of the most diificult shots

KD smokin crack rocks. DoNT EVER DISREPECT ai

My Son Is Better Than Irving-Lavar Ball

Iverson > Irving

You can say this if u want but lets state facts kyrie can never be the scorer al was he will never lead the league in scroing

How can Irving be better than AI when he is not even better than Curry ?
