**rare footage of draymond not pissed or hurting somebody**
He is trying to hurt Durant because he said “Draymond needs help” after the punch
seriously pawn stop buying into a mf narrative you clown here's a list of the nba most tech this year Luka Doncic, Jordan Poole, Anthony Edwards, Max Strus
Well he’s definitely throwing shade
just watch 2016 NBA finals you can see how unstoppable kyrie is.
Prime Kyrie,a real beast with the ball
He’s getting cooked by okc though
@@jesusblanco7657where?
@@Throwin_pesos he’s averaging 14.4 ppg, 6.8 assists, 2.4 rebounds and his shooting splits are not much better. So there definitely is a recipe to stop him
@@jesusblanco7657 hes just deferring a lot more, and playing way tougher defense instead and playing more like a true pg knowing he can get his buckets when he wants but assists instead and locks in the second half or the clutch if needed
Somebody needed to tell Edwards this before the game
Too late!He almost died sticking Kyrie 😂
@@Ahch_not_op_of_Judahhe finals bound now 😂
i guess nobody does. lol.
He Knew 😂 He Just Wanted To Impress The Media & Got Swept For It 🧹
What do you want Ant to say? “He’s unstoppable!!! Why do I have to guard him?? We are definitely losing to master lord Kyrie!!” lol of coarse he’s going to believe in himself. Btw NO ONE can stop Kyrie
KD just created another burner account for this video
😂😂😂😂
I think one thing people dont realize also is Kyrie's efficiency for his size too. Check his FG%'s.
Yep very efficient was almost 50 40 90 this year would have been his second time !! His FG% for his career 49.7 almost 50% thats elite for a high volume shooter and scorer like him !!
@@davidpouncy8471not efficient if ur avg shot distance is 8 feet lol steph is the only efficient scorer or player ever 18 feet shot distance 60% efg 65% true shooting kyrie can never reach that level 25ppg too bitch
Why he always mentioning KD?
In this case I see it cause we usually sai kd is the most talented offensive player ever
@@juanr8042nah he just wanted to take a shot at kd there’s other ways to say Kai is arguably the most skilled scorer
@@tyvion3240 yeah
@@tyvion3240how’s he taking shots at kd?💀 he literally said he’s one of the best scorers
Because that what nba personalities do..talk about KD
Kyrie is my favorite player
Il love it
“You can’t make the game tough for Kyrie, he makes it tough for himself just to make it fair”
Im from the generation of LB & Magic but watching Kyrie is a thing of beauty 🫶🏽
Drew knows every spot of that backboard as well
Its true kyrie is the most skilled but he was 100% lucky that i wasnt guarding him instead of jokic. Im shutting all his moves down and locking him tf up
I bet you are
Cap
😅@@jakeythesnakie9127capital America
U are a scrub
Lol
Thank god Draymond posted this. I’ve been going back-and-forth with the curry stans
All that’s skill for 3 third team all nba no scoring titles no steals titles no free throw titles nothing besides handle title didn’t even win the skills challenge he was in lmaooooo
Draymond and Damian are spot on.
Str8 shade for KD. 😂
since leaving cleveland kyrie is averaging 22 points on 43% from the field and 35% from three in the playoffs, to say "you can slow down KD but not kyrie" is not just a terrible opinion it's being dishonest
Lmao after leaving the Cavs he had a 50-40-90 season…
@@ricewilson KD had a 50-40-90 season as well, so i'm not sure why you even think that needs to be brought up
more importantly the playoffs are when people are actually trying to stop you, if you want to compare these two guys volume and efficiency in the playoffs and come back tell me which one of them people have been able to slow down
@@oliviercolletaz5841bro you cannot do nothing to stop kyrie it’s usually him having an off night
@@mrlaybackvevo264or not playing at all.
Boston had both of these guys on their pockets while sweeping them clean 😂 Now don't argue no more
The problem is that KI isn’t always available, which shows in their career totals. I’d take KD still if I need buckets
...bravo Dreymond...it is true...love to watch you and listen to your podcast,great job man...keep it up and running...its good and on point...love it...god bless.❤🎉
Kyrie is the 6’2 Kobe Bryant
Hell no kyrie kills Kobe in 2pt %, 3pt% and free throw % career numbers
Kyrie is more efficient than Kobe.
GTFOH kyrie ain’t no where near Kobe you on dope foo.. Kobe 12 time all defense to Kyrie Zero let that sink in.. it’s not just offense it’s defense as well..
Kobe 12 time all defense kyrie 0 all defensive teams… enough said
@@AlandosYT they are talking about offensively skilled. And ur the one that compared kyrie to Kobe in the first place 😂😂😂😂 u debating with urself
even Iverson said that, period.
“Bro in my past life I was you! Where you are now, that was me in my old life”
Damian ain’t lying Real Recognize Real 💯
There could be an argument for most skilled offensive player ever. But most skilled ever means it includes everything about one on one basketball, which means the other half of game😂😂. its called "defense" which consumes half of energy and sucks away all flashiness from your game.. 😂😂. Also, kyrie hasn't won anything individually apart from 50-40-90 award, bird got it thrice😂.
atleast an mvp or fmvp is needed to be best skilled argument...and atleast one scoring champion to be named in same breath as kobe, Mike,AI, steph,tmac and KD.
Draymond is unhappy with KD here clearly
100% Agree!
No doubt about that!
Kylie is superhuman!!
Well said
Kyrie and Kobe. THATS IT
KD right there. Kyrie can’t do what KD did
@@Jesus0418 that’s like saying Wilt. Ofc the 7 footer can do stuff other people cant. KD can’t do most of the moves Kyrie does.
@@JonathanWoodall being the number 1 guy and dominating is what kyrie can’t do
@@Jesus0418 KD hasn’t done much more than Kyrie did in Boston as the clear best player on his team. But that’s not what the discussion about most skilled is about anyways 😂
Jordan is the blueprint.
The realest shit Draymond has ever said!💯🔥
BIG FACTS 💯 DROP 💧 BARS MR, DRAYMOND
Respect that!!!
Coming back to this after Jrue locked his ass up ….. again in a crucial playoff setting.
Right jus big yap
Never happened. Dude just missed. And Kyrie numbers in the finals are Jrues CAREER numbers.
@@jasonau427Facts cuz he dropped 35 on his ass in G3 at home. Jrue said you have to “pray” he misses and best believe every Boston fan did just that it worked at TD Garden
Then why has kd always scored more and more efficiently?
So kyrie don't ? 50/40/90
@@vondariuswebb Kd has also done it. Im not saying kyrie is trash but that mf kd avgs 27 on 50/39/88 for his career and kyrie is 24 on 47/39/89. And this year the gap is even larger nvm kd leading the league in scoring 4x and kyrie never doing it
He is 6'11''.
I guess it helps that he is long and tall
@@xaviermangubat816 for sure but thats part of why he is better you can't say someone is better just because they weren't given the same physical gifts
Totally agree with this take
Kyrie need at least one scoring opportunity and am not even sure if that puts him in the same stadium as Kevin let alone same arena or court
at first when i heard him say that i thought hell no wth you talking about Draymond, but after awhile it started to make sense somehow.
Not gonna dispute is talent, the man is a MAGICIAN with the ball.
You can press up all you want it is no stopping the most versatile scorer
Kyrie Boombayah, Kyrie Boombayah, Kyrie Boombayah 📢
Best handles on top of that.
I agree with everything he said. Kyrie is basically unstoppable with the ball in his hands.
He is definitely a 1 of 1
His defense needs to be talked about as well ….
Real talk, nice
I’m glad he plays for us. Go mavs
the fact draymond is saying all this totally change my view on him
Steph is a better shooter finishes almost as well passes better better leader handles almost and good better rebounder
Draymond: I figured out a way to stop KD
*punches him*
He literally goes off instinct
I AGREE!!💯
Kyrie better step up his game against Celtics for game 3...We know he can.
Isiah Thomas cooked dude by saying of saved them haha
Kobe 😢 Bryant ❤
I agree. I been saying kyrie is the most skilled player ever
He’s just a quitter when it gets hard for him
Draymond talking bout right now though, and he’s right a bigger PF could get physical with KD but he still gets buckets.. OKC KD you ain’t doin none of that he will just shoot over you or through you.. hes had injuries and getting older ofc..
L take, kyrie is averaging way less than KD and scores at a worse efficiency. This is just petty lol
Yo ass slow he on his 2nd 50/40/90 season . Kyrie is the most efficient there is
FACT'S
❤😂🏀 DG #23... 🙏🏾💪🏾 Hang in there BRO !
HE NEVER REALLY CREDIT HIS TEAMMATES IN THEIR BEST CATEGORY😂
If we're arguing about who's the most skilled with the ball in their hands, I wouldn't be upset if someone gave the spot to Kyrie, even though I'd probably take Kobe. But if we're talking overall, I'm going with either Kobe or Steph.
The KD disrespect is so out of hand with Draymond. KD has scoring titles, MVPS, highest scoring all time gold medalist and is an all time top 10 scorer ahead of Shaq but because KD decided to learn the warriors offense & defense from Draymond Draymond feels he's in a position of power where he can disrespect KD.
Frfr seems like he had that basketball 🏀 since 9 months old!
Yea this new world is ass. Everything about drama and hot takes. It speaks to the femininity of men today. Dray a millennial but this new era clearly got him too
Yall swear drama is just a woman's trait.
@@MoonMoon-fx1op u emotional men can’t admit it. Ironically proving my point
@@Louisianimal-225EBR I'm a woman lol. You can't say drama is a a woman's trait when crime is committed mostly by men. The two don't add up.
More skilled than Jordan? Let’s not get caught up in the moment but kyrie wasn’t more skilled then Jordan.
Yes
@@TherealClipologyhe’s not more skilled than Jordan. What are we talking about
@@Jesus0418 u are stuck in the past even players like donovan mitchell are more skilled than jordan now people evolve jordan couldnt shoot threes go left etc
Yes but Jordan is the blueprint. Kobe took what Jordan did evolved it. And Kyrie did that with Kobe. They’re a product of their era
@@RuleyyDonovan Mitchell is not more skilled than Jordan. And you saying Jordan couldn’t go left Just shows how much of a casual you are. You taking Tik tok narratives serious.
How’s your offense Draymond?
he's up there, 19 ejections aint no joke
@@imagine1st381 😂😂😂
He gtta goo toe to toe with Allen iverson for that title ngl🔥🔥‼️
Spot on.
The offensive game of basketball figured out. Don’t think he’ll ever be in any all defensive team in his career.
Kobe is the most skilled , kyrie will tell you that
Quit capping. Kobe mentored him in his youth but he’s always been the most skilled, ask any NBA player, they all agree Kyrie has no equal. And Kobe was NEVER a 50/40/90 player unlike Kyrie, KD& Steph
@@pharma2546Kobe still more skilled than
Kobe was skilled,not talented
Kyrie is the most talented player all time
@guillermogutierrez47 stop the reach , you sound 21. I've watched kobe since 98' born and raised in la with vhs tapes and DVR for proof. Nice try, kobe was a GURU of hoop.
@@Trinx323 you have the reading comprehension of a 3 year old
Kyrie is a great handler and finisher, but his numbers don't suggest he's worthy of any "best ever" praise, and he's yet to lead a team to anything.
Most accurate take here
It wasn’t best player ever, to be fair. It was most skilled ever. Dribbling, shooting from 3, mid range, the ft line and finishing at the hoop in a number of ways. It’s footwork, moves and counter moves. That’s it. There’s more to being a great player than just skill. Size, and athleticism play a part. Competitive drive plays a part. Basketball intelligence (knowing when to use what skill when, when to score vs when to pass, off all movement, etc.) plays a part. Leadership, defensive intensity and durability all play a part.
There is more to game than numbers, and his numbers are excellent.
His numbers are skewed. He was almost done with the NBA for about 3 years
@@ricardopalomino8329 KD is the better offensive player no matter how you cut it. 4 time scoring champ. 7 seasons of 28+ points to Kyrie's zero.
Career avg 27.3 (3rd all-time) in over 50% to Kyrie's 23.6 in 47% (which isn't bad by any means). Both are 39% from deep - good for a guard, amazing for a 6-9 (officially 6-11) forward. Similar from the line (88%) with KD getting there almost twice as much. KD obviously a much better rebounder. Kyrie with only a slight edge in assists (about 6 to 5 per game). And in the playoffs, Kyrie averages the same, while KD goes up to 29.3 per game.
What he is talking about only applies to recent Kevin .
This is but isn’t a shot. It was unnecessary to mention KD but he is right in that Kyrie’s scoring arsenal is more diverse and advanced than KD’s. Not light years ahead but more diverse and more advanced.
I agree with everything except that KD and Booker has a better mid range jump shot but Kyrie is up there tho
Interesting choice to use a clip of CP3 flopping as an example
Yeah i agree with you dray, kyrie is the most skilled player in NBA history,
He ain't lying! Kyrie is the best-skilled player ever. Kyrie is so underrated, while Kevin Durant is so overrated.
Fr
You can give handles to Kyrie over KD, but who is taking Kyrie’s 3PT and mid range game over KD’s??
States claiming LA neighborhoods is wild lmao
If kyrie was that great, why does he only have 1 chip. Skill is not enough, win please.
He is right
Kobe is more skilled, but that makes sense since Kobe was kyries idol.
wrong Kobe did not have the ball handling skills of Kyrie stop it
@@juniorluma9129 Kobe has handles man check the tape. Kyrie ain’t got no power, Kobe dunking on everybody. That’s why Irving gotta result to more handling.
@@oba4738He's 6'2 and he finishes through almost anything. How is that not power?
Kobe was more athletic he dunked more Kyrie is dominate one of the greatest finishers he’s more finess tho
@@kratos2105 He dunked more than him because he was 6 foot 6. Man, think before you even comment
Kyrie Irving is a bad shot taker , bad shot maker! Which is a skill multiply that skill by efficiency times handles time’s finishing! And you get Alien
I enjoy watching finals with Kyrie
U was right brother ask pj Tucker
Jalen Brunson entered the chat.. "but can that mfer score 40 at will and actually lead a team without another star deep into the playoffs?"
one left handed floater is all it takes to make a lack luster career to be compared with goats. 😂😂😂
The only thing he will have in his resume is the ring with lebron and no one cares 50-40-90 which bird got thrice😂.
Lackluster career lol yeah ok
A proof that Stephen Curry has no competition.
DG to the Mavs confirmed 😂😂😂
Basically kyrie better than Steph
Yes, he’s offensively better
💯
He likes to talk down to kd because without him they wouldn’t have beat Bron
Likes to act like that ain’t the case
In praise of Uncle Drew...
Defense is skill too.
It’s Kobe
Offense Kobe = Kyrie
Defense Kobe
Dribbling Kyrie
The best point guard of all time I don’t care what nobody say 💯
Yes Kyrie is a skilled scorer and draymond is an unskilled speaker
I’ve seen kyrie do stuff no other player has ever done.
Bro STOP!! nobody’s till this day has been a better finisher than Jordan, at or around the rim. A quick UA-cam search is all you need smh
Exactly ppl like to forget easily and they have the proof on their phones
It’s him and Jordan and maybe Penny if not injured
On Offense yeah maybe bt as far as Defense 😅 now hes not even thought of
He's amazing! But he can be tamed and has been tamed before. We can't forget that the Celtics destroyed him and,,,, Durant in Brooklyn while getting swept. Idk why people don't remember something like that series
Think he meant Uncle Drew
Draymond really be saying anything sometimes. KD is 7 ft tall with guard like handles and shoots like curry. Just stop it
