Pete Maravich, Earl Monroe, Isiah Thomas, White chocolate, Hardaway (Tim and Penny both have moves that Curry is yet to replicate!), Kemba, Steve Franchise, Dancing on them Lance, Isaiah Thomas, SkiptomyLou, J-Crossover, Nash, Iverson, Cp3, Harden, SGA, PG13 have all handles equal to if not better than Steph. Kyrie & Luka are god tier, because contrary to prime Harden, when Dončić get's you on a Island, you better hope a tsunami will erase you from being stranded in the first place, Luka much like Ginobili has unorthodox shifty hips, second best footwork behind his team mate, all time somewhere behind Hakeem, Kyrie, MJ and Ginobili

    Kyrie's handles move him, Steph's moves his opponents. Irving penetrates and Curry creates. Both incredibly underrated finishers, literal artists. My preference is Wardell, but Kyrie's natural ability for handles is akin to his born talent for shooting. Still nothing more entertaining than watching Steph play though. He does things that simply shouldn't exist

      I want to challenge the way you are interpreting what you are see....
      they are overplaying Curry because of his shooting reputation (He the goat 3 point shooter). That's called running a player off the shot. Its easier to cross up a player when they are deathly afraid of you getting 3 point vs 2 point.
      If we played one on one and I said the handicap is the 3 pointer for me is worth 5 point but its just 2 for you....I knock down two 3 and now I have 10. Every hessi I do will have you jumping. That is how you get a defender to treat you like you are Curry. If you want to see how it feel to be feared for your jumpshot like steph Curry run that experiment. But that's what makes his handle deadly...you have to overplay him to stop the shot and you get crossed up.
      But with Kyrie, they are not overplaying his shot. They just cant stay in front of him in any capacity. Both are elite ball handlers but notice that Kyrie is taking less dribbles to get to the rim in spite of Curry getting overplayed by the defense while Kyrie is not being overplayed at all.

      Curry looks like he's standing and running in a vertical posture, and seemingly dribbles more up and down, closer to the body. Kyrie looks like he's crouched and slinky, with the ball going more side to side.
      Honestly, by comparison Curry looks more stiff and mechanical compared to the more fluid and dynamic Kyrie.

    Curry’s handles are different from almost everybody. His peak speed in game time is always at a speed where he can control and change direction. His upper body posture is very consistent over his base of support, always ready to launch and release a shot. Just watch him. I can see a silhouette of him dribbling and know who it is just from the posture. Steph’s foot movements seem to stay very constrained, I think he trained himself to not move in ways that are likely to injure him, because he had lots of ankle injuries early in his career.
    Kyrie has more and faster moves, more creative moves to get to the basket, but his shooting percentage on any given “similar move” is lower than Steph.

Steve Kerr has NBA career record of .454 but that’s on volume of 1.8, and had several seasons shooting > .500 on volume of 2.9. Low volume shooting 3p percentages are different. Because if you’re shooting only 2 or 3 a game, you’re only shooting wide open or even wide open corner 3s, which inflate your percentage.
      Steph is career .427 on a volume of 9.2. If you average his seasons shooting less than 8 a game he’s closer to .440+. Seasons he’s shooting 10+ a game he’s still at .410+
      Kyrie has a career EFG of .538 and TS of .582.
      Curry has a career EFG OF .583 and TS of .627. Those are the career efficiency numbers of an elite center.
      The only high scoring perimeter player who comes close to Curry’s offensive efficiency is KD. KD is at .551 efg and .620 TS. KD gets this based on superior 2 point efficiency because he can get a clean jumper at will in midrange, nobody can block him.
      Kyrie does have much better handles than Steph. KD has much better 2 point efficiency than either. KD leverages his height and Steph leverages his 3. Steph has far more gravity than either, and he has far higher motor, off ball, making him a much more impactful offensive engine by disrupting defenses.

There are many guards with better ballhandling, but there are just less talented overall, so the effect is not there.

    Kyrie has more of a eurostep in his game. What most incredible, and most similar, is their finishing ability and english at the rim. Interesting comparing their handles at this stage of their careers versus the '14-18 era when both handled a little freer. Curry's dribbling in particular has tightened up and oriented toward efficiency and specific moves/countermoves, as well as getting into people's bodies, over the past 3-4 seasons. I think it was AI recently talking about how Ky likes to play with people more -- he likes going Uncle Drew on folks as much as scoring/winning imo.

    Y’all don’t see it but also Curry most of the time has 2-3 ACTIVE defenders on him and is pressured full court, while Kyrie mostly does 1-1 through multiple defenders
    My opinion is Curry’s dribbling has developed to be the more effective, cleanedt and with better IQ.

    I love the curry haters in here tryna say curry’s handles are overrated and then claiming they know ball. Flashy doesn’t mean good. Kyrie is an amazing ball handler because of his ball control not cause his flashiness. The flashiness is just a bonus. Curry also has amazing ball control which is overlooked by the 13 yr olds because it’s not flashy enough

    The thing people never really watch the progression of players. During the 2015/16 season of GSW VS Cavs, I watched Kyrie being guarded by Steph and my eye test instantly knew that although I loved Steph's shooting, Kyrie had better ball handling. Fast forward to recent years 2019 - 2022, Steph has elevated his game to point where his handles can be equally matched to his shooting prowess. People stay stuck in the past and don't follow the progression. If people watch Steph's training videos he has been working on his handles and drills religiously.
    Even Draymond Green said his finger flicking touch is magical and elite but most people probably don't notice. Kyrie is still great, but I haven't honestly seen much progression from him from the Cavaliers days - which might also be due to the fact that he's injury prone as well. It's not a knock on Kyrie, but people just need to understand that there's progression with constant training and Steph's routines are known to be the most disciplined and tough in the league. PLUS, he has to do everything through more traffic than Kyrie which says a lot about their levels.

    There’s something about these 2 that remind me of Yin and Yang more than any other comparison

    Curry got it hands down! He tends to ball handle around multiple defenders from further out proving he is more lethal and his handles still create buckets even further from the rim. Total package ball handler

    Ive been saying this for 3 years and no one listen. Curry has caught up with Kyrie in handles and finishing. Kyrie is more flashy but steph is more effective. Curry is guarded more difficult than kyrie because he is always the number one option and threat. While kyrie is always the 2nd or 3rd option on a team. ……. Both these guys are nasty🔥 they equal on handles and finishing.

    Steph handles is underrated but Kyrie is the best ball handler ever no debate. He's very fun to watch with the ball.. always entertaining.

    Curry's shot is so prolific that his handle has somehow become underrated. It's funny because at some point it was a direct comparison in handles between the 2. But Steph turned his shooting all the way up, and somehow people started acting like his handle isn't still top tier lol.
