If they played against each other A.I.would destroy Kyrie he's fearless and not afraid to challenge.Even from old school Isiah Thomas,Tim Hardaway,Magic would eat up Kyrie
GO NEW YORK GO NEW YORK GO!! KNICKS NATION
Allen iverson because he more tougher
Many that are picking Kyrie must be very young. Iverson made the crossover popular and the reason these players wear braids and tattoos. He carried a scrub team to the finals but just ran into prime Shaq and Kobe. He did win game 1 and dropped 50. What team Kyrie led to the finals. He won nothing until Lebron. Kyrie was on the Cavs for a few years, never got nowhere until Lebron.
Na Kyrie over AI l. Take out the influence talk, from an ability standpoint Kyrie has that beat. Better ball handler, shooter, finisher around the rim, more efficient. Kyrie was 19 when he came into the NBA, he was with a bad Cavs team for 3 seasons and only 22 when Bron came back to Cleveland. Cavs upgraded the roster and Bron and Kyrie don’t win a title without them both having a great series.
@@kevinchavis2755 you out of your mind, A I was pure talent, if he practiced, he be in the goat conversation. Excuses for Kyrie. Lebron was up 2-1 by himself vs GS in their first finals meeting averaging a triple double. The year they won Lebron led the comeback and then the block, yes Kyrie hit timely shot but Lebron again averaged a triple double and got MVP, not Kyrie. Kobe was great too but those first 3 championships don't happen without Shaq. He was a monster.
@@kicknowledgesmith8608 you don’t know the game of basketball. Once again Kyrie was on a bad Cavs team before Bron came. A good player doesn’t win with a bad team. Next you proved my point, the Cavs were up 2-1 without Kyrie so if they have Kyrie along with Kevin Live they probably beat the Warriors. Bron and Kyrie played great the series they won the title. Bron got mvp but the Cavs don’t win without Bron and Kyrie playing great. Kobe and Shaq needed each other for those titles. Shaq and Kobe carried those Lakers.
@@kevinchavis2755 "A good player doesn't win with a bad team" Iverson carried Philly a bad team to the finals, a team with Eric Snow and George lynch and Tyrone Hill LMAO. Lebron carried the trash Cavs to the finals before leaving to Miami. stop the cap bro.
@@kicknowledgesmith8608 did he win the championship? And it depends on the team, who that team plays and the level of play in a certain era. Obviously the Cavs were a really bad team with a young Kyrie, the 76ers weren’t, and it wasn’t just cause of AI. 76ers had defensive player of the year Mutumbo and 6th man of the year in Aaron Mckey. Once again you don’t know the game lol. Did the Cavs with Kyrie before Bron have anything like that during the time? No lol just stop
JADA....Long Live The DBlock The Lox & RR 🔥🤜🏾😔🤛🏾🔥
Kyrie actually has a ring
Iverson is an MVP Season
Put iverson with lebron do you think they will not get 1 ring..
@@Answer394 You’re speaking in hypotheticals, I’m speaking in facts and actual events
An MVP is much harder to get than a Championship.
Kyrie ain’t play Shaq or Kobe in his finals or have to play wit role players.. some rings ain’t special my guy 🤷🏾♂️
When it's not personal it's just business!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm taking Allen Iverson over Kyrie Irving. At least you know Allen Iverson wants to play and it takes a lot for him not to.
Yes sirs' ... real talk
Iverson best all around athlete ever
He's incredible
💯💯
Im going AI, idgaf....man was a BEAST
Kyrie is like a evolved version of AI which means hes better im sorry the bag is wayy deeper and hes the most ambidextrous player ever on top of being wayy more efficient scoring the ball
Well said
More skillfull yeah but A.I. was a better athlete and the fastest on the court and he wasn't injury prone also he had no team and went to the finals in his prime Kyire been on superteams and get bounced out the 1st round A.I. Better player overall easily
@@nicopettiford-topaz253 im sorry bro your just wrong
@@nicopettiford-topaz253 ai shot a higher volume on less efficiency everybody seem to forget bro missed A LOT
Facts
AI my favorite player ever. But The reason I’m picking AI over Kyrie is because AI carried the Sixers as the best player by himself for years. We saw Kyrie on teams as the best player not be as successful as Allen Iverson teams
Kyrie is better but Iverson is a pioneer all-time great legend he did crazy shit too 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Kylie ain't better stop it
@@alexandermyers2928 yes he is you stop it he’s way more efficient & he could shoot 💯💯💯💯
@@demetridwighthubbard7379 go back and watch iverson
@@alexandermyers2928 I grew up watching Iverson he was great he had a great crossover & slot of different moves & skills but he wasn’t efficient & Kyrie is & Kyrie can shot
@@demetridwighthubbard7379Kyrie didn’t take anyone to the finals. AI had no one literally. You young cats need to chill
You smoking crack to say he's way better than AI
Until kyrie can dribble a football….please end this debate 😂😂😂
He's way better at dribbling than Iverson. Even curry is.

Kyrie
here in May 5, 2024. He was right about Kyrie. Made a whole mixtape in6 games.
This show is all that
NY vs Pacers back in fourth 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 imma go with the Pacers even if they don't have defense
Hold up son, SAS giving dallas and Luka love. Cause real recognize real lol...jadakiss know his shit
Kyrie got a chip over AI so gotta pick him, But if Iverson had Lebron he’d have multiple!
Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart & Donte DiVincenzo are all cracking this season. If the Knicks didn’t get OG I would have traded for Mikal Bridges. All 4 of the former Villanova stars on one team.
Put Al with Jordan, he have a ring too, AI is faster Kyrie has a better handle , But AI had a bigger impact, he changed the culture !!!
allen iverson did it without the benefit of the new footwork rules and his separation was absolutely crazy... give a.i. the benefit of a beneficial rule change like that and id say its not even clos
Kobe and rod Strickland literally trained kyrie and kyrie continues to add to his bag 🎒. A.I. didn't have the footwork or handles and A.I. literally said Curry and Kyrie is more skilled than him.
Kyrie on a team without LeBron has done nothing, if A.I. was on either of the superteams Kyrie was on they wouldve won it, im tired of this non debatle subject Kyrie never been a leauge MVP but he is better then AI ✋️
When Kyrie play with people his skill set he outplays them😂 what have you won?
AI ♥️
Give me A.I. No diddy
Allen Iverson all day #3😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
KYRIE bag way crazier.. I’m choosin Kyrie
All the baggage he got, and his defender still be right there😂
No it’s not. Not to mention this era plays zero defense.
The right answer is Kyrie
Coach Tibbs gets blamed for a lot of players long term health issues in my book. D Rose is just one dude to mention.
AI carried his team with no other superstar...
NYK, minus their bench, are a better match-up against the Celtics
Kyrie couldn't survive in the late 90's or early 2000's. He would've been out for injuries twice as much as he has now! Plus it was just A.I. with the 6ers. There were no other Allstars with him at their prime.
It’s kyrie but we can let the old heads talk
Talk about my Dallas mavericks.... talk about the knicks for what 😂😂😂 We definitely don't like jalen brunson 😂😂😂
Steven A with his bland questions!! He should of ask who has the better handles? Thats cleary kyrie , but not disrespect to AI.
Kyrie way better than AI
AI was good 3 point shooter imagine him with space
No he wasn't, kyrie actually beat steph in the 2013 3pt. Contest and that's facts.
Kyrie cooking AI like a west orange BBQ in July + Kyrie gotta ring. AI was great but his fingers bald.
If you're not 1st you're last 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂@RemyMack90
AI, because he had defense
Kyrie could NEVER carry a team to the finals…never lead the league in anything W T F are we doing comparing the two
Of course we’re comparing the 2 cause real hoopers know Kyrie is better than AI. Talking about leading the league? Well how about leading the league in handle ability? Kyrie is a better shooter, better ball handler, better finisher around the rim and more efficient. What are we even talking about here? Kyrie was with a bad Cavs team from age 19-22 while he was still hooping before Bron came. If you want to compare AI led the 76ers to the finals in his 5th season at the age of 25. Kyrie is better
@@kevinchavis2755 😂😂😂😂 lead the league in ball handle ability
@@wisethabrain1100 at least that is the truth
@@kevinchavis2755 u really wanna do this..Kyrie was on a team that was going to the finals with or without him…Allen Iverson league MVP…best player on team that was lead to the finals against a dynasty..4 time scoring champ MAN JUST STOP!!!!!!!
@@wisethabrain1100 you said with or without Kyrie they would’ve made it to the finals, lol the point is both were needed to actually win the finals! Youre one of those blind Kyrie haters that don’t know ball, cut it out. Real hoopers know the truth
I know kyrie has a ring, but we're not talking about rings. We are talking about skill with the ball. And Alan Iverson, is that dude right now? Kyrie's right behind the I am not going to front
Kyrie only shines as a #2 never a #1; remember Boston and pre LeBron Cleveland....
Thibs ruined Rose career.
Kyrie is more skilled but AI had the better career
Wtf are U on about Kyrie has a chip U casual
AI All Day !
Kyrie has better handles even AI said it
Ai would drop 60 on kyrie 🤷🏾♂️
Og
AI himself said he couldn’t go left 😂 love AI the best player 6’0 or shorter ever I don’t care about a Chris paul
Everybody in saying Kyrie better well, he never led a team to playoffs, nor finals. Never been League MVP, NEVER WON ALL STAR GAME MVP 2wice! NEVER led league in scoring, or steals. Never led league at free throw attempts per game(One of the greatest finishers AI)! Does not have a better career scoring, or assists average than AI! Stop mentioning him in same breath as AI! PPL NEED TO STOP IT
Kyrie ain’t nowhere near Iverson
I’m taking Kyrie Irving, way more efficient and a better shooter. Yall can be caught up in Nostalgia if yall want 😂.
Iverson
Kyrie all day
lol good ol thibs
Is Jada nose that shiny or is that white caffeine lmao
You all mark this down …when clippers take out the Mavs watch closely how the slyness of Steven A Smith on how he will hypnotically work the crowd to thinking he’s been rooting for the clippers all this time… that’s why he good at what he does !!!
Dude no one cares. Why you care so much
Kyrie is better
Ai
The only things AI has over Kyrie is athleticism
Clippers is gonna cilp the mavericks kwiah and pg 13 I will be ready stephan a Smith is not a big kwiah Leonard and ppl know that
Kyrie > A.I
Not at all
No sir
Ok...
Your young
If A.I. had the same Celtics team Kyire had they would've won a chip I don't think people under that no one else of the that finals 76ers team even average 10 points and he beat a Lakers team that almost swept every team In the playoffs
I reject this as a question. Typically the two players being compared are at least in the same tier. Kyrie is a legit allstar and a nice player. AI was a megastar, former mvp, first ballot hall of famer. Anyone who answers Kyrie is trolling or not old enough to have seen AI in his prime. This truly isn't hate for Irving, I think he's a good player, but this feels a bit like comparing Karl Malone to Kevin Love, Bird to Paul George, etc. It reeks of recency bias.
Kyrie is way more skilled than A.I. , trained with Rod Strickland and rod Strickland wanted Kyrie to be a better shooter than him and counter defense and Rod said Kyrie added Kobe footwork to his repertoire.
@@davelouie131he can be way more skilled but I seen AI make way more hall of famers look like fools on that Y 1on1 than Kyrie. I mean the footage does exist, I’m talking actual all defensive specialists too not just anybody’s. Rod Strickland my guy but he couldn’t do nothing wit AI 1on1. If that was his teacher how you gon tell me it’s gon help him wit AI😭 GP also taught Kobe how to be a better on ball defender, and that shit if seldom ever helped guarding AI. Better offense will always beat better defense. And if it’s young Ai who’s just gon drive to the basket quick as hell every possession and bang on Kyrie head wit a 40 sum vert what can he do 1on1 🤷🏾♂️ Cmon man we talking 1on1.. how’s Kyrie gon stop him from rising up on em every time.
Dude no one cares. Why y’all care so much about a game
@@GetBackRy3x if we talking skills A.I. will tell you Kyrie is better himself.
@@davelouie131 You gotta quit believing what AI say. Dude is depressed and always putting himself down and bigs up others. I seen both play and it ain’t just dribbling wit AI. he’s a more versatile & creative play all around.. sorry slim.
Irving's better than Iverson in everyway.
He’s not as dominant or durable
😆
Put the drugs down. You can’t be serious
LUKA IS BETTER
U wish 😂
@@Himothey90 we done with the 90s buddy
@@Himothey90imma kyrie fan, but luka is already better than what kyrie and Ai ever were.
@@abtocool6350 no he's not yu really don't know 🏀 maybe Kyrie bt not AI wen has Luka took a team to the finals alone I'll wait🤔
@@Himothey90 idk ball😂, ok buddy. I’m not talking about team accomplishments I’m talking about being a better basketball player, Ai was lowkey a playoff dropper after that one year while luka has translated every time. He’s a better scorer, better in the paint, better 3pt shooter, better playmaker, better passer, better at passing out of double teams, manipulating defenders/weakside defenders in the pick and roll and is even the better defender. I know you would say but Ai led the league in steals but he was a liability on defense. Ai himself said on shaq’s podcast that he was a horrible defender. Luka is having an historic offensive season and is having one of the best heliocentric offensive seasons in nba history, so yes he’s better then he ever was and that goes for someone like melo, Vince, dame, and other players of that caliber.
