Nice.  My favorite moves are the completely unnecessary ones.  Those are the cutest.

To be honest, after looking at all of them, I don't get how you got that impression....

In all 3 following clips, he didn't dribble unnecessarily, and pretty much finished in all 3 plays with great execution...

I do admit that Kyrie sometimes dribbles too much, but in those 3 clips, he definitely didn't overdribble...

If anything, the first clip, I felt like he sort of traveled.

I thought he may have traveled on the first move too.  Second move, at 16 sec (22 sec, slow motion) served no purpose at all.  Just being cute, I suppose.  Never really enjoyed that style of basketball.  The other moves were pretty, though.  He can split double coverage as well as any one.

Not quite Kemba Walker or young CP3 handles but AWFULLY close...

CP3 would shake some folks so bad that I'd bite my tongue. He DESTROYED Tony Parker in one of those moves a few years ago...just nasty.

So, we're only starting to scratch the surface with Kyrie. A bright coach and a team suited to HIS talents is allowing him to showcase those talents.

I'm warming up to Kyrie more and more.

His handles are better than either of those players.

Best handles of all time.

Yeah, instead he is just going to continue to troll people who really enjoy Kyrie, because he is salty his boy IT just isn't as good, and Danny made a heck of a trade.

Kind of sad.

Best I've seen.  I'd rank Curry ahead of CP3.  Some of Kemba's moves are cosmetic -- don't gain an advantage, but he's a "bad shot maker".  Kyrie shakes guys for real effect.  41% vs 46% career shooting tells the tale.

Honorable mention: Baron Davis, Nash, Jason Williams, Kenny Anderson, Bob Cousy, Maravich.  Something to recognize is ball handling has transformed more than other skills over the generations.  Cousy was transcendent for his time, but right hand dominant.  Game tape looks silly, but Cousy invented ideas you see today.

Best ball handler hands down? Kyrie.

I'm sorry, but there is no one better than Kyrie. I understand there have been legends like Cousy, CP3, ShamGod, etc, but... Kyrie is literally the embodiment of every ball handler combined into one person haha.

But regardless of my Kyrie fan-loving, he's always been an excellent shot creator, and finisher.

The slow motion forced Schroder to try to trap him, and then Schroder realized Horford was completely wide open... So I don't get your assessment. I do agree Kyrie over dribbles, but come on... Lol.

You used to jam the TP button on my posts.  Try to be more open-minded.  I'm not trolling any one.  I continue to give him his credit, while also expressing dissatisfaction with his unnecessary dribbling, ridiculous and childish PR activities, and decision to wear mittens following a professional athletic contest.

Danny overpaid.  Yes, the trade long-term will be good for the Celtics.  But he overpaid.  There's zero evidence to indicate that Kyrie is the better player.  I'm sorry that this is difficult for you.  We can keep going back and forth, though.  As long as you try to be a bit more open-minded.

No, he has the right to read it and call you on your hate. It is a joke to say dribbles are unnecessary because you have no idea is intent or what he is setting up for later.
