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

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.

Omitted the famous nationally-televised shot where Curry dribbled through four LA Clippers and made a turn-around 3-pointer, with Kerr throwing up his hands in exasperation. Also left out the double behind-the-back where he dropped Chris Paul and made a baseline shot over his prone body.

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.

No curry’s shot is where ppl get fucked up. Cause you have to stay up on him. Kyrie got the best handles easy

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.

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.

Steph’s handles do tend to be slightly underrated by most fans… could easily argue he has a top 3 handle all time

Kyrie goes to the basket more than Steph so ofc u think that

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.

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.

I think Stephs shooting is so over the top, people just don’t pay attention to how good he is at dribbling and driving the lane. Similar to his defense, which has gotten so good. Just watch him 1 on 1, he makes the defender take tough contested shots. Unfortunately due to his height they can make some over him but he contests the majority of the time.

Difficult comparison, i notice that Curry has better handling in open shots (creating space). While Kyrie is more faster and better handling to the rim. Both are similar when it comes to handles, just different play styles.

Peeps gotta remember steph expends a ton of energy from all that off ball movement, so he’s gotta be efficient to conserve max stamina.

De lo mejor que e visto los dos son los imparables de la NBA ojalá sigan por muchos años más por qué su nivel de manejo del balón no lo tiene nadie más

Curry haters who are saying Curry handles are just to get his spot or for a 3 pointer. Obviously didn't watch this Video or never watched Curry play at all. He clearly gets the rim. And show a play where Kyrie gets dribbled thru 4 defenders and scored.

so true! you just hit a nail on the head

This highlight was fire

I'm a fan of Curry and Klay Thompson

Oof. That CP-esque spin back to himself at like 0:40

That's what it looks like when you have elite ball control, great shooting and handling for both of them

God...if these 2 played 1v1 I wouldn't know who to choose. They own streetball and pro ball handles

@@calvinavila7989 I mean curry has the better defence

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

Kyrie is an underrated shooter and Steph is an underrated ball handler.

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.

When did we start making handles singular was it last year ? Did I miss it 😂😂

4:26 oh my goodness ❤❤❤❤

Just so SPICY! TOP Handlers! Sick moves

Both elegant but have different styles and purpose in facilitating scoring, playing to their respective strengths: mainly Kyrie’s layup game & Steph’s 3 point ability.

This is why the game is so beautiful they're essentially doing the same thing but it's night and day different. For me it's like I'm looking for something crazy from Kyrie and with Steph it's always a surprise

If you notice Kyrie drop his dribbling pose so much that he almost touching the floor, by this way he create much speed and acceleration. Curry just like standing while dribbling he do it effortlessly😱, and if he drop his handles like Kyrie, the speed, acceleration and dexterity will increase🤔

This was excellent. Both are unique & equally effective. If I had to take one, it'd be Curry. His love for the game is the difference.

Curry's looks like it exists just to support him as a pro basketball player. Kyrie's looks like as if he's a nobel laureate in basketball dribbling

There is no comparison. If you can't admit who has the better handles between these two, then you don't know ball or are biased.

Kyrie has the best handle in NBA history but Steph isnt far behind. He can do damn near everything Kyrie does it just looks different and kyrie is wider and loser with the dribble making it look more flashy. Id say Steph is more textbook and efficient keeping the ball close. Ready and able to shoot after every dribble.

3 points shooter: Curry Side step: Curry Acrobatic shot: Curry Fast shooter: Curry Scorer: Curry Aggressive move: Irving Slasher move: Irving Dribbling: Irving Handling: Curry-Irving

Look at Currys stats for the paat 5yrs, & look at Kyries, & you will have your answer.

Tf that gotta do with handles

Curry: unrefined/ flow Kyrie: refined/ sharp

3:50 Bro... Anyone who doesnt have Steph AT LEAST #2 all time just dont understand how to analyze what they are seeing in screen. This video is actually amazing Ive always had Steph and Kyrie tied for the best but after watching this, Steph definitely has a slightly better handle. Kyrie has some of the best body control ive ever seen but as far as purely what each can do with the basketball, Steph definitely has the edge

3:23 ohh my goodness, 😊😊😊❤❤❤wardell Stephen Curry

People forget to notice that Kyrie's footwork is what makes him so much better than curry

Curry's movements are so efficient. No wasted motion.

@0:43 Curry really pulled off a Curry slide

You didnt even show the best of these two

And Poole have the combination of Kai and Steph 💯

Poole is no where near them. Stop it

Steph and Kyrie are 1a and 1prime. No idea how curry gets left out of these convos. I love A.I. but hes solidly #3. Steph's not as fancy but hes even more precise For the last 10 years Ive compared them to Gin and Mugen from Samurai Champloo (Rest in Power Nujabes ✊) *SPOILERS for an amazing show check it out * Gin is a cool calm collected Samurai and Mugen is a wild man with a one handed sword who does friggen caopiera in sword fights. Both crossed swords for the first time and each were surprised when they stalemated. They both murked 100% of their opps before this moment Gin is like Steph and Mugen is like Kyrie. Completely different styles but both are leagues above anyone else

there is something fascinating about watching smaller more skilled players play. It feels like they earn everything they get.

2:50 against wemby, that shoulda be a travel.

@3:33 ITS A DISGRACE... LOL..

Kyrie has a more flashy handle package to break through the paint, meanwhile Curry has a more simple yet effective handle to create an opening for his shots. They both are god-tier, hence why Warriors vs Cavs were so exciting to watch. I'm picking Curry though

Curry ability to create space with his handles is an underrated part of his game

Crazy how the refs never see those fouls on Curry!

cuz if they did call thos fouls curry would be really unstoppable like for real, then all their investment on lebrun would be in the dust

Both of their handles is hard to guard 😅

These days you don't need a flashy moves you need to shoot the ball to win. The first basic and important fundamental of basketball is shooting not dribbling.

Kyrie's handle is more individual and you know he's gonna ends the play, whereas Curry's handle is quicker and follows the rythms of the play to create opportunities for their mates.

The 2 times mvp is so efficient while the other is inconsistent 😊

Today is the day I call him Wardell

As much as I love curry Kyrie has the best handle ever and it’s not close although I like to study Steph’s handle more

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

Let me just say this Kyrie Irving has some great handles BUT STEPH CURRY ALL THE TOOLS HAVE ALL THE TOOLS AND HANDLES 1 OF THE GREATEST SHOOTERS OF ALL TIMES AND HE HAS ONE OF THE GREATEST HANDLES OF ALL TIMES 💯💯💯

Maybe because of his physicality and athleticism kyrie's handle it's more explosive and fast. But Curry handle looks smooth and has such a pace and rhythm that seems like he's playing music with it and that creates an aesthetic motion that it's so pleasing to watch. Kyrie's explosiveness but curry's aesthetic motion makes him more pleasing to watch. Both Greats Though.

That was not as far away from each other as I thought. The styles are definitely different though. Curry's trying to create shots and Irving's trying to get to the rim

Curry is just quick and agile, but Kyrie literally plays like a video game character with maxed out handles

Just the title of the video made me appreciate this because people acted like Curry doesn’t have an absolutely insane handle. No way he’s getting those shots up without having the ball on a string.

steph has a very playful and instinctual handle, Kyrie's handle is very deliberate and planned. Two very different players, both very skilled

Title should've been Kyrie and Curry cooking the spurs and trailblazers

Curry gave Dillon Brooks an out of body experience... shook his soul out of his body...Sheesh
