Kyrie Irving practice session made fans go crazy as they tweeted the Nets star is better than Warriors legend Stephen Curry.

The comparison between two elite point guards in the league is the league has always been on. Kyrie Irving and Steph Curry are often talked about when the topic is who runs the league as the best point guard and primary scorer.

Recently, Kyrie Irving was seen practising and the tough shots that he made with smooth handling made fans question who is the current great. Is it Steph or is it Kyrie? The Atlanta point guard Trae Young was also part of the practice and can be seen in this video.

Kyrie is too smooth. 🔥

Kyrie’s handle is sick and he has always been considered one of the best point guards ever to play. His abilities to penetrate the defence and make tough shots look easy are enough to make him elite on the list.

Here are some fan reactions:

Kyrie Irving upcoming Season

Kyrie is practising and is expected to run it back with Kevin Durant and the Nets. The Los Angeles Lakers tried to acquire Kyrie to play with LeBron but somehow it ended without any conclusion.

LeBron acquired Patrick Beverley and Kevin Durant saying he will play one more year with the Nets is enough for Kyrie not to move from Brooklyn this year.

There are chances that Kyrie might play next year with the Lakers and reunite with his old teammate LeBron James.

Kyrie Irving and Stephen Curry player comparison

Steph joined the Warriors in 2009 and is the three-point shooter ever. Kyrie is considered better with handles and his highlights are enough to prove this. Irving joined the league in 2011 when he was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Kyrie can rebound the ball better and he is also a better parameter defender than the Warriors star. Kyrie’s exceptional ball handling and getting to the rim makes him superior to Stephen Curry.

Kyrie won one ring with LeBron and the Cavs while Steph owns four of them with the Golden State Warriors. Impressive defensive hands and ball handling is what gives Kyrie an edge over the Warriors legend and this year’s finals MVP.
