Kyrie Irving has made a name for himself with his otherworldly skill set that allows him to score at will.
Though he’s missed a lot of games due to various reasons throughout his career, there’s no doubt that the eight-time All-Star guard is arguably the best basketball player each time he steps onto the court.
Andre Iguodala echoed those sentiments on a livestream with internet superstar Kai Cenat.
“If you listen to all of the NBA players talk about Kyrie, they talk about him differently than they talk about everybody else,” Iguodala said.
“So if you ask any basketball player about Kyrie, they just be like, ‘Man, Kyrie [is] different.’ They can’t even explain how good he is. Kyrie is one of the ones. I’m talking about he’s one of the best basketball players ever. Period. Like all time,” Iguodala concluded.
This isn’t the first time the 2015 Finals MVP sang Irving’s praises, going as far as saying he’d prefer the former Cleveland Cavaliers guard taking the last shot over Stephen Curry in an interview on The Ryen Russillo Podcast.
“Kyrie Irving, it’s not even close,” Iguodala said. “For the last-second shot, I’m going with Kyrie. You’re talking about fear factor at any given moment or for like that moment, Kyrie.”
“With Steph, I think he’s shown, at least proven, to teams that you can double him and if you can just try to get the ball out of his hands, then I guess that’s the way to combat him,” Iguodala said. “But with Kyrie, he’s just so good. You can’t get the ball out of his hands. Allen Iverson said Kyrie was the best ball-handler in NBA history. And I’ve been told that I was crazy for saying that. But with Kyrie, you talk about fear factor, you ask anybody in the league, that’s a scary guy to see.”
