Kyrie Irving Ceiling A More Efficient Gilbert Arenas/ Or Rich Man's Tony Parker?

[TAZORAC]

Allen Iverson..without the ball hogging and a better jump shooter. A little less speed.

A.I with a pure jumper. Been saying it for ages.

Agreed. Not to nitpick though, but Irving is like 6'3. He is pretty big for a PG. I think he just looks smaller on television because he is always in the paint destroying opposing big men

Kyrie's size and strength is probably the most unnoticed and overlooked thing about his game. He was muscling Klay Thompson on a lot of those crazy finishes in The Finals.

Here is a picture of Team USA. Take a look at how broad Kyrie's shoulders are compared to Lowry and even a guy like Durant. Irving can overpower most other guards in the league.

Parker relied more on his quickness. Kyrie relies more on his ball handling and feints. Also Kyrie is a much better shooter than Parker ever was.

Maybe because he can spam drives to the rim at times and usually finishes at the rim with layups? I see a little tony Parker as far as the penetration but I feel like Kyrie is more similar to Iverson. Kyrie is Iverson with a better jumpshot

He's AI minus athleticism plus a brain.

And you'd never know this by looking at him in a basketball uniform during a game. The dude looks small on TV but when you see him at the parade with his shirt off and pics like that,you realize just how strong he actually is. It's shocking. Kind of like his athleticism that so many people say he's somewhat lacking. It's all subtle

Kyrie's game is a lot like kobe's considering the quickness body control and use of the midrange game, except kyrie prob. has even a bit better break down ability, is a much better 3 point shooter and prob. Midrange as well. Difference being that he's a good deal shorter than Kobe obviously and is a notch below I'm athleticism and stamina. Kobe is probably the greatest streak scorer ever and a better passer funny enough. Maybe a 2011 Derrick rose game with Kobe iso skills is a good guess. 26 ppg 6 assists on 60% true shooting is great.

Yeah, he looks pretty big there. He is for sure not undersized like people say. A legit 6'2" without shoes, an 8'3" standing reach (John wall's is like 8'5") and good natural strength and very good athleticism.
