I saw Kyrie Irving mentioned as the best under the rim finisher of all time... Did Tony Parker not exist? Also cosign the Curry thing. Also Nash. Steve Nash was really not appreciated enough for his scoring ability.

 

[JD617]

But it's not even close though.

Goran Dragic was another dude who was nice under the rim. What's crazy about it, was he rarely used his right hand.

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Yeah steph cant guard kyrie so

 

[MVP]

Myrie's assortment of left hand, right hand finishes, impossible angles and flair make it not close for me.

[kdslittlebro]

That's cute

 

[antidope]

I'm rolling with efficiency over flair here.

Curry has been hovering around 70% the past three seasons while Kyrie has been around 60%. Kyries moves look better but Steph converts way more.

The same goes for Parker. Buckets are buckets regardless of how they look. Over the hill Tony Parker was finishing at an equal or higher rate than Kyrie.

 

[MVP]

More garbage

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Yea I'd say leading the league at the rim as a 6'2 guard is more eye popping than Kyrie's bag of tricks. And I appreciate Kyrie's bag

This is like saying Jr Smith is a better three point shooter than Klay Thompson cause all he does is take fade aways with hands in his face. Flair isn't a quantifiable thing.

I'm pretty sure contested shots are a quantifiable stat. At any rate being able to make higher degree of difficulty shots consistently around the rim the way Kyrie does in my opinion makes him the best I've ever seen. There are plenty of NBA people that echo that sentiment as well. You're allowed to disagree.

Kyrie sometimes makes his layups more difficult than they have to be, but it's amazing to watch nonetheless.

 

[freddy fig]

Curry a magician but kyrie a mad scientist..nash was a canadian monsta

 

[freddy fig]

Kyrie finishes in traffic more than a red light district ***

Do you consider Mike Conley the 2nd best under the rim finisher? Everything you described you can make a case that Conley does it as good or better than Myrie

 

[antidope]

I feel like last year was the year I saw Dame Lillard the corner in that regard also.

That all sounds good but they don't finish better than him with somebody contesting the shot. Whether it's the flashiness or with a defender right there Kyrie is better than them.

Where's Mike Lowry's montage that's anywhere close to this?

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Yeah steph's game is 3s. Kyrie's game is dribbling the air out the ball and a nice finish. No competition really.

 

[kdslittlebro]

Man some of yall boring

 

[frshstunna]

court hearings Kobe

Or as I like to call him , COLORADO Kobe

Mike Lowry is a volume shooter tho. I don't expect layups
