Is Kyrie the best ambidextrous player of all time tho? He is insane with his of hand.

Whoever compared Kyrie to Tony Parker actually is on point! Tony used to do all that driving, slashing, spin moves while going full speed.
Came to the league at 19 just like Kyrie, was at his prime and won FMVP at 25 ... looked what happened to him when he hit 30.

What? Kyrie is not considered athletic because he can't jump out the building?
Kyrie is very athletic! Hops isn't the only factor of being athletic.
Being a below the rim athlete doesn't mean he isn't athletic.
I would consider kyrie to have the same type of athleticism as steph. Both those dudes dont necessarily rely on an explosive first step nor will they jump over defenders, but crafty with the ball and smart at the rim. in terms of raw athleticism for a PG, that **** is wildly overrated.

I agree with the mobility aspect between Kyrie and Tony but Kyrie is a way better scorer than Tony

Tony would've been a high scorer in another system. Ginobili too

No. Dude never scored more than 19 a game and couldn't handle big minutes

i'd say that too. but not by much. he just does different thing with his athleticism. Like curry not going full spiderman in the lane. Kyrie is every other play.

Just watch the 2014 all-star game for all of your Steph vs Kyrie related questions.

Tony Parker was playing basketball 11 months a year for twelve years though.

Didn't even know he was 30 yet tbh. He needs to leave the Clippers. He gon get what happened to him if KD stayed in OKC

Chris Paul is as good as gone from the Clippers. I also think Melo is coming to the Cavs in the off season. They'll clear their whole bench to bring him on and put some rag tag pieces around him and have a second unit that would essentially look like the Knicks '13 roster

Yes. For as many great moments he had, he had a lot garbage reckless moments, especially in the playoffs. Ginobili is one of them dudes that had to be pulled back at times.

Yeah young euro step was looking bad a times. He resurged a few times tho. The middle of his head didn't. But he did on the court.

Chris Paul isnt going anywhere. Why turn down $70MM to lose to the Warriors anyways. He isnt a dummy

He seems like the type that would stay, but it isn't smart imo. I say in about 2 - 3 years, they may be trying to restructure the team

He can stay on the clippers and never see the WCF either. Paul has made his money already, he should be thinking legacy at this point. He's the greatest clipper of all time whether he stays or goes but staying with the clippers almost guarantees he never gets a ring.

why can't Paul join the warriors? do they not have enough money?
