im a W's fan, but i will take kyrie over him
steph is a great shooter, but he doesnt really break down defenses. it was jack who was creating and hitting shots in the last secs

Thank you!! I swear these curry fans are seriously acting like he's some god. The fact that they think he has better handles than irving says it all. I guess irving is a better shooter than steph, then since he beat him in the three point shoot out

I'd take kyrie over steph too. Steph had been more successful because his team was miles ahead of irving's but y'all wanna act like he's way better. I'm starting to think a lot of these steph fans don't watcht warrior games if they think he's a pressure player. He's a great third quarter player but when it's a close game in the fourth dude be mia.

This is what you call "passing of the torch without your permission!"

Wow, Dwyane Wade over Melo in 2013!? That community work does get you a ways ahead.

Wait, so if Kyrie was on Golden State they wouldn't have gotten to Game 6 on the West Semis!? C'mon y'all. Kyrie the real deal and better overall than Steph. And he's about 3-4 years younger.

One guy said Steph has better handles than Kyrie. I don't agree with him, but don't lump all the Curry supporters into one thinking we all think that.

I'm a Curry fan. I love having this guy on my team, but I have no problem saying Kyrie is better right now.

So is Bazemore replacing Jack as their backup pg?

Tony Douglas then Bazemore off the bench. Bazemore can play the 1 and the 2 so it'll depend on matchups. But that's what I like about our additions. We're more versatile now. We can match up against different types of lineups.

According to a report in Argentina, Luis Scola traded to the Indiana Pacers.  Danny Granger on his way to Phoenix.  Money doesn't match.  "Will be announced tomorrow"

The Phoenix Suns and Indiana Pacers are nearing a deal that would send Luis Scola to the Pacers, according to sources.

The proposed trade was first reported by Argentine journalist Juan Sebastia.

Danny Granger is not in the trade, according to ESPN.

Lol at what this Steph Vs Kyrie debate has become. NT, the land of the extremes and no middle ground.

 

[everysingletime]

Dude really said Steph had better handle than Kyrie. Haha. I'm no Kyrie fan but even I recognize that he probably is only second to Cp3 when it comes to handle.

 

[$tacy]

cp3 doesnt even have the best handle on his team..... LAs new dance instructor

 

[jsindaa]

Yall wild. All I'll say on this debate is this Curry does everything besides finish at the same level or better than Kyrie so I'll personally take him.Too many extremists

 

[pmatic]

Without knowing the draft picks involved (I imagine a second rounder or two?) in the trade, it's a pretty good trade for both the Suns and Pacers.

Jamal Crawford has that crossover and the double behind the back move. That's enough to = best handle in the nba to you?

 

[buc em]

The Suns are trying to out-tank us. We need to trade Turner and Thad Young for Hamed Haddadi ASAP.

Handle means little. What is more impressive to me is controlling the game's pace and floor spacing. Call me old school.

It may be simple to you but its effective, dudes know its coming but still get caught with it

 

[$tacy]

No but its enough to have a better handle than cp3

Tank en route to the desert

There's more to handle than having two great iso moves. There's being able to control the ball in any situation, having an overall arsenal of moves, penetrating in traffic, splitting traps with your dribble, etc.

I know having a good crossover doesnt mean top handles, but crawford is one of the most craftiest with the ball, not alot of guys can do what he does

If they started calling offensive fouls for CP3 and his off arm, his handle wouldn't get him aywhere in terms of penetration, or whenever we clone him and have him guard himself and he flops every damn time the version of himself on offensive pushes off.

That's true. I was more speaking to the other poster. Crawford gets his props.

Come on y'all really discrediting CP3s handle ?
