Lebron is more gifted than Kyrie. He was gifted with that height, that body mass, that strength, that agility, that vertical ability, etc. Kyrie had to work to really hone all his skills.
Im not a Lebron fan but he'sthe most gifted, he has height, size, skill, longevity with his body, 21 years amongst the league. Id have to see Wembys career over the next few years to agree to that. Kyrie is most skilled
I really wished that a sports channel was out there for true fans of the sport. It’s hard to use the terms greatest, most talented, or most gifted because depending on your bias, you can make any argument sound good. Kyrie always been “that guy”, the media went after him and tried to tear him down. He’s now with an owner and team that allows him to be himself.
I'd argue that probably nearly everyone who's ever played in the NBA is physically gifted. Regardless of physical attributes, you made your way to the highest league of Basketball, in all the decades of the NBA only 5000 men have played in the league out of 100.000s that tried to get there. I would argue the most gifted guy was Muggsy Bogues. He made it to the NBA at 5'4 and he had a long career.
My dad was an All-American and played against the Globetrotters and beat the brakes off of them. They were asked to let the globetrotters show out but the other team wasn’t having it.
I agree theres a difference between gifted and best kyrie is deffinetly the most gifted hes only 6ft2 and never gets blocked hes the greatest ball handler ever and has the greatest layup package ive ever seen and hes so clutch and hes a big shot taker and a big shot maker
Lol. I guess we will just forget about Wilt Chamberlain who was strong as an ox, did long jump in college, could jump thru the roof, and was literally unstoppable.
Gifted means what your born with. Not the skills you worked on and developed. Kyrie worked on his skills. He wasn't born to dribble. Jordan, big hands, long arms jumping abilities. Those are gifts. Lebron gifted. 6'9 260 run like a deer jump through the roof. Those are gifts.
Even though I came into this video expecting to defend Kyrie, Paul Pierce's argument abt Kyrie being most skilled and someone like Wemby being most gifted honestly makes sense
Bron acting as if he didn't snake on Kyrie. 🤣 When Kyrie caught a wind of this, he literally mocked LeBron with the Warriors during Barnes' wedding lol.
@@mjraynolds6478 well he doesnt have a ring and it does seem he is not trying to be the best. He is really gifted and you always feel like he is an underachiever.
Player listed height is not always true for the longest time kd was listed at 6,9 even though he clearly 7ft tall also Westbrook is listed at 6,3 but when he stands next to James harden they look the same height and James is listed at 6,5
Isaiah was top notch and mastered the pitty pat dribble, but kyrie got on the handles and finishing. gervin, pistol, and jamal crawford were also some very gifted SCORERS
Pierce is right skill is acquired through hours of training gifts are god given. MJ & Vince both 6’6 40+in verticals big hands etc. Wembyana 7’1, flexible and mobile, athletic, agile.
being tall is not a gift, Paul... Kyrie has handles that over 300 NBA players wish they had... players wanna do what Curry does from half court... that's a gift.
You can't have this conversation without having Barry in it. Barry played with Bums, and the entire defense knew the ball was going to him, and he still killed them.
His handles are a gift , I'm 6'2" and Most people I know are kyrie height, but no one has hand eye coordination like that ,either hand he's gonna give it to you.
The Truth was his name as usual. I was ready to argue but nah, Paul convinved me. 7'4 with coordination enough to do a sham god in a live NBA game is GIFTED!!!
we ain't talking about who the most dominant player, we talking about who the most gifted. paul and keyshawn need to know the difference before hopping on the mic!
Yeah & Skip would forever go on about how he’s the best driver, passer, ambidextrous, his dunks etc ,. Him & Shannon “what do we give him 260? 270? 6’8ish & any time at all he can bully his way to the rim”. On a nightly basis they would marvel over lebrons freakish size & abilities
Doncic and traee young are the most skilled in the league. Dribbling and handles and finish luka and kyrie. But passing floaters special shots Doncic and trae young have those. And all time Tim Hardway, pistol Pete Marovich . Allen Iverson
I agree with Skip here, Kyrie is gifted. He is the only player I saw doing those nasty dribble where only 1% is a violation unlike other players who twist the rules to make them athletic but are actually violations.
Saying kryie is the most gifted is not the best compliment in my opinion. I wathced a doc shows how hard kryie working on his craft. Even the left hand is not gifted. The document says he went to a Catholic school and force him to use left hand to write. I forget why they do that. But thats how he become used to left hand.
He was left handed before he went to Catholic school and they made him switch to his right hand to write cause a lot of older catholics believed that the left hand is the devils hand and would force left handed students to become right handed through smacking the hand with ruler when they went to use it
Why is it that NonFranchise players got the most to say about other Real Franchise players…. Paul was never skip was never and the dude right he red tie was never stop the hate on kyrie
The reason people say Kyrie because he came in the nba like that he didn’t need a dribbling coach in the nba he had handles and could put the ball in the basket
Yet Kyrie saw angles to get the ball over wemby. If you saw that game. That defines Kyrie gift. He sees angles no one else can see. He has a counter for any defense.
Everything Lebron says is to slight the legacy of Michael Jordan. Lebron tried to TRADE KY for Eric Bledsoe. That’s why he went to Boston. Paul is correct on all coutns whether you like it or not.
The hate in the room is very high...smh. There is nobody they could name in the NBA has the handles and ability to score so many ways that no other players can do what he has done from inside and out of the court.
Gift = Something that is given to you … there are guys who have to work triple overtime to become great.. and people who are naturally inclined to certain abilities. Lebron is the most gifted played of all time. Size, speed, athleticism, IQ
Paul you are wrong and only contradicting yourself. In the context of what LBJ said, height is not a gift. He’s referring to skills set and ball handling.

Watching Kyrie is like watching a professional ballet dancer. He literally dances with a basketball 💯
You want a donut with that glaze?
Why my man Paul p hating 😒
Still not a gift
Lebron is more gifted than Kyrie. He was gifted with that height, that body mass, that strength, that agility, that vertical ability, etc. Kyrie had to work to really hone all his skills.
Skip "I was there" Bayless
You a fed
Im not a Lebron fan but he'sthe most gifted, he has height, size, skill, longevity with his body, 21 years amongst the league. Id have to see Wembys career over the next few years to agree to that. Kyrie is most skilled
Yep. I was gonna say LeBron or Shaq.
@kanajingly8957imagine if shaq and lebron got to play against guys 6 inches shorter than them…
I'm not a lebron fan by any stretch and you're correct. Gifts are what you're born with. Lebron is 1 or 2.
I agree. Either MJ or LeBron. Shaq too.
no DPOY or 30 PPG career so hes not the most gifted. Lebron is a great accumulator
Maynnee! It's going down tomorrow! My mom's 73rd birthday and game 1 of the Finals...GO MAVS!
Happy Birthday Mom! 🎉
🎊🎉🎊
Happy birthday mom
Happy Birthday to your mom. Make sure you cop her a fresh jersey for the finals!
Bless up ! Happy birthday mama ‼️💪🏾
Bro said rondo😂😂
😂😂😂How sway? 😂
I was looking for this comment 😂
Rondo does have huge hands for his height. That’s a gift.
Rondo 😂😂😂😂 isn't better than Kyrie
Kobe the most skilled ever.
Nope
No lol
🤦♂️
Naw
The most skilled ever
Paul is Hating
Hating bc he don’t agree with lebron 🤡 chumps like you weird
No. He is not.
@@michaeltrenierman he said IT (pistons) had a handle like Kyrie…..come on now
@@MiamiU4 THAT is a stretch. IT wasn’t nice like Ky. No doubt bro we are in agreement.
Having an opinion different from your man crush is hating? 😂😂
“Tricked him into buying more tickets!” 😂
I really wished that a sports channel was out there for true fans of the sport. It’s hard to use the terms greatest, most talented, or most gifted because depending on your bias, you can make any argument sound good. Kyrie always been “that guy”, the media went after him and tried to tear him down. He’s now with an owner and team that allows him to be himself.
Skip a real one for bringing up Meadowlark
Paul Pierce is the truth. Isiah did have crazy handles. And he did it without carrying the basketball
So happy to see Paul back him skip flow off eachother
What is Paul's problem? Doesn't he know you never look a gifted horse in the mouth 😂😂
😂
👨🦽🐴
That’s why he said Wemby. He’s too tall, you have to look him in the chest.
Gifted honestly if we think about it is Lebron James. 6’9 with 4.3 speed 48inch v leap and at 40 still has crazy speed most gifted athlete ever
Paul Pierce be talking that talk 💯
I'd argue that probably nearly everyone who's ever played in the NBA is physically gifted. Regardless of physical attributes, you made your way to the highest league of Basketball, in all the decades of the NBA only 5000 men have played in the league out of 100.000s that tried to get there. I would argue the most gifted guy was Muggsy Bogues. He made it to the NBA at 5'4 and he had a long career.
I like that take!
I'd say Muggsy was up there, but Spud Web was the most physically gifted athlete of all time.
My dad was an All-American and played against the Globetrotters and beat the brakes off of them. They were asked to let the globetrotters show out but the other team wasn’t having it.
imagine just sharing how you feel about a teammate/friend and everyone picking it apart and saying no your wrong.
I agree theres a difference between gifted and best kyrie is deffinetly the most gifted hes only 6ft2 and never gets blocked hes the greatest ball handler ever and has the greatest layup package ive ever seen and hes so clutch and hes a big shot taker and a big shot maker
Skip should seriously thank Paul Pierce for saving this show!!!!
There will never be another Kyrie!!!! Pure poetry in motion!
How do you have a debate without even being able to define gifted properly 😂😂.
Iq and Paul pierce in same sentence 😂😂
Lol. I guess we will just forget about Wilt Chamberlain who was strong as an ox, did long jump in college, could jump thru the roof, and was literally unstoppable.
Keyshawn had the best take and explained his opinion really well, comment section should give him more credit
No he didnt. Dude literally compared kyrie to rondo 🤦♂️
Absolutely he did Great
Truth is my guy.
Show may not be number 1 but it gives me a choice when I get tired of hearing Steven A.. voice. Lmao 😂
I cringe every time Keyshawn talks about basketball! lol
Facts it get the cheap UA-camr conspiracy channel vibes from Keyshawn when he talks basketball
Every time literally
@@broknowledge254😂😂😂
Why? He learning more and more about the sport he never played and that’s good for a person who’s having a conversation about the NBA.
Dude oppose just to oppose then babble to explain his point..
and saved you in the finals vs Golden State. now he’s gonna get his own ring to salvage his legacy after the debacle in Brooklyn and Boston
His own ring or Luka's
@@titandmc8111neither it’s the teams ring. Retards need to stop acting like basketball isn’t a team sport.
Gifted means what your born with. Not the skills you worked on and developed. Kyrie worked on his skills. He wasn't born to dribble. Jordan, big hands, long arms jumping abilities. Those are gifts. Lebron gifted. 6'9 260 run like a deer jump through the roof. Those are gifts.
Exactly people saying Paul hating smh it’s his opinion
Even though I came into this video expecting to defend Kyrie, Paul Pierce's argument abt Kyrie being most skilled and someone like Wemby being most gifted honestly makes sense
Kyrie is a 6' 2 Kobe with handles, minus the defense.
- the Kobe part too
Always wanted him to be a laker
Much better finisher and 3 point shooter than Kobe
Naw Kobe ain’t have handles like that
I dare anyone here to take Kyrie over Kobe.
This is an ABSURD debate to have when the person who made the claim isn’t there but you’re making the criteria 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Moss and D. Sanders are the most gofted football players
P.Pierce is on point for the most part
You gotta throw Darrel Green in that race with Tyreek and Vick
Paul Pierce suit is 🔥!
according to most, LBJ is the most gifted
Who is most? He is 6'8 with no post moves lol
@@coppermanarrowz1001but still holds the record for the most points scored..that doesn't help your argument
@mrmvp2323 goofy he played for 20yrs lol 😆 it's funny because Jordan only play 14 and lebron still chasing him . Your point?
with his physical advantages he should have had 10 rings, but he only got 4 vs MJ's 6.
Cry baby
The chemistry is growing 🫡
After he tried trading kyrie for PG that’s when Bron ruined their relationship, 😂😂😂😂
It was also the media saying bron is kyrie’s father like figure. 😂. That one seals the deal for him to leave Cleveland.
Bron acting as if he didn't snake on Kyrie. 🤣 When Kyrie caught a wind of this, he literally mocked LeBron with the Warriors during Barnes' wedding lol.
Acting like PG is some bum. Stop it
What relationship? Y''all should move on, they both have
@@mjraynolds6478 well he doesnt have a ring and it does seem he is not trying to be the best. He is really gifted and you always feel like he is an underachiever.
Lol I love when Paul laughs
Kobe 6'6 not 6'7
He’s listed at 6’6 but nba players and legends say he more 6’7 he was slightly taller than Mike
Player listed height is not always true for the longest time kd was listed at 6,9 even though he clearly 7ft tall also Westbrook is listed at 6,3 but when he stands next to James harden they look the same height and James is listed at 6,5
It’s 1 inch
@sambrowne83 kobe is 6'6 kawhi is 6'7
Bronny 6,0 not 6'3
Isaiah was top notch and mastered the pitty pat dribble, but kyrie got on the handles and finishing. gervin, pistol, and jamal crawford were also some very gifted SCORERS
Kyrie, Harden, & Durant are top 5 greatest offense players in NBA history. Still amazed on how they didnt accomplish anything in Brooklyn
Pierce is right skill is acquired through hours of training gifts are god given. MJ & Vince both 6’6 40+in verticals big hands etc. Wembyana 7’1, flexible and mobile, athletic, agile.
being tall is not a gift, Paul... Kyrie has handles that over 300 NBA players wish they had... players wanna do what Curry does from half court... that's a gift.
HE IS 62 but his skills is unmatched!! that is special and he put a nice layup move on the 7 footer
Nobody defines skills in basketball
1.dribbling
2.footwork
3.shooting
4.passing
5.court vision
6.finishing at the rim
7.I.Q.
8.Rebounding
You can't have this conversation without having Barry in it. Barry played with Bums, and the entire defense knew the ball was going to him, and he still killed them.
His handles are a gift , I'm 6'2" and Most people I know are kyrie height, but no one has hand eye coordination like that ,either hand he's gonna give it to you.
At 6’2 to have the handles shooting /shot making and finishing hands down its Mr. Irving
Good analysis...PAUL
Damn Keyshawn sit this one out.🤣
Most gifted player is Wilt. Track star, IQ, raw strength, and is currently tied with the highest vertical in nba history as a big man. That’s crazy
LeGM ready to head to Mavs lol
Keyshawn can’t stop talking for a minute
What a GREAT take! 💯
The Truth was his name as usual. I was ready to argue but nah, Paul convinved me. 7'4 with coordination enough to do a sham god in a live NBA game is GIFTED!!!
A lot of people are 6’2 - Paul Pierce 😂
Talent is a gift .. after Kobe retired kyrie has been poetry in motion.
Great range test!!
we ain't talking about who the most dominant player, we talking about who the most gifted. paul and keyshawn need to know the difference before hopping on the mic!
Damn, how the whole panel get it wrong 🤦🏽♂️
It’s crazy Lebron said this because I think he’s the most gifted player ever not most skilled but gifted, size athleticism, skill and iq he’s 1
Yeah & Skip would forever go on about how he’s the best driver, passer, ambidextrous, his dunks etc ,. Him & Shannon “what do we give him 260? 270? 6’8ish & any time at all he can bully his way to the rim”. On a nightly basis they would marvel over lebrons freakish size & abilities
Paul is right, skill is a part of gifts, hight too
I would’ve had Paul explain how Kyrie is the most skilled if he saw Isiah have the same handle
Thank you Skip !!!
Kyrie has the best handles and layup package ever to touch a basketball court🔥
Doncic and traee young are the most skilled in the league.
Dribbling and handles and finish luka and kyrie.
But passing floaters special shots Doncic and trae young have those.
And all time Tim Hardway, pistol Pete Marovich .
Allen Iverson
Which show airs first ? Cuz chris B has the same take lol
I agree with Paul 💯
Keyshawn : My vertical was 39'
Paul : Mine was like 32'
🤣
I agree with Skip here, Kyrie is gifted. He is the only player I saw doing those nasty dribble where only 1% is a violation unlike other players who twist the rules to make them athletic but are actually violations.
Shannon Sharpe ran so Paul Pierce and Keyshawn Johnson could crawl.
Keyshawn be cappin too much, his vertical was 31.5
Saying kryie is the most gifted is not the best compliment in my opinion. I wathced a doc shows how hard kryie working on his craft. Even the left hand is not gifted. The document says he went to a Catholic school and force him to use left hand to write. I forget why they do that. But thats how he become used to left hand.
He was left handed before he went to Catholic school and they made him switch to his right hand to write cause a lot of older catholics believed that the left hand is the devils hand and would force left handed students to become right handed through smacking the hand with ruler when they went to use it
No he’s left handed they forced him to write with his right. He is naturally left handed but you still have to work on that a lot
“So Key had no gifts”….😭😭😭😭😭
to be real lebron can be in the convo to 6”8 250
Why is it that NonFranchise players got the most to say about other Real Franchise players…. Paul was never skip was never and the dude right he red tie was never stop the hate on kyrie
what are you guys even sayingggg, 2 weeks ago it was ant edwards! I can't with yall lol. Kobe was the best and still is.
Skips right 😂😂wtf they on...Kyrie that deal
I already know what Skip gone say Paul saying it nevermind
Paul and Key just lied about Mike being a great shooter 😅 Skip his biggest fan and told the truth
There were and are a whole lot of gifted players. It is almost impossible to say who is the most gifted. There are several different kinds of gifts.
There is a lot of the gifted players at their own position
Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan are the most gifted
You know something is wrong when Skip is the one making the most sense lol
"Skip that's CIRCUS 🎪 Basketball" - Key
The reason people say Kyrie because he came in the nba like that he didn’t need a dribbling coach in the nba he had handles and could put the ball in the basket
Did skip just agree with Lebron
Must be another slow news day
At least it is not another discussion on who is the GOAT 😂
Yet Kyrie saw angles to get the ball over wemby. If you saw that game. That defines Kyrie gift. He sees angles no one else can see. He has a counter for any defense.
Everything Lebron says is to slight the legacy of Michael Jordan. Lebron tried to TRADE KY for Eric Bledsoe. That’s why he went to Boston. Paul is correct on all coutns whether you like it or not.
The hate in the room is very high...smh. There is nobody they could name in the NBA has the handles and ability to score so many ways that no other players can do what he has done from inside and out of the court.
Paul was strong and bullied people which was amazing to me because he never looked like he worked out
Gift = Something that is given to you … there are guys who have to work triple overtime to become great.. and people who are naturally inclined to certain abilities. Lebron is the most gifted played of all time. Size, speed, athleticism, IQ
Gifted ? No
Gifted is god given !
That’s Lebron MJ Vince Wemby Shaq Etc
Kyrie is just extremely skilled
Paul staying taking L’s
Thomas handle was NOWHERE near kyries handle
Stop it skip. AI was better than Kyrie. The difference is AI had everything Kyrie has but AI played above the rim much better.
Paul you are wrong and only contradicting yourself. In the context of what LBJ said, height is not a gift. He’s referring to skills set and ball handling.
Its Wilt. He was a freak of nature
