He must mean figurative handle. Like handle on life.

he knows cuz he skipped practice

I can see where he's coming from. Its not like he's saying they are better players than him, which they aren't. Steph might be in a bit...He's just saying they have better handles which they probably do. I think Kyrie is the best ball handler in the league...

[KungFuJoe]

Kyrie and Steph have the best handles in the history of the game.

[raprap]

Kyrie & Steph certainly are more creative than AI.

That's exactly what he said, why do you have to complicate things?:facepalm

[Prometheus]

Didn't watch the video yet (these computers in Jamaica aren't the greatest), but if AI is really saying that they have better handles than him, I think he's wrong.

It's kind of like when Magic said Kobe was the best Laker. Sometimes the old heads give too much praise to the young guys. Iverson's ball-handling was as good as I've ever seen.

Kyrie is up there. Steph is good but not god tier imo.

Kyrie is the flashiest ball handler, but CP3 is the best. His ast/to ratio says it all

It's usually the other way around though.

[qrich]

Jamal Crawford and Rafer Alston are the GOAT handlers

[LAZERUSS]

I doubt either one could have made it past the half court line without a dribbling violation in the 60's and 70's...

i don't know about steph having better handles but i think kyrie is def better and more creative with his handles, AI didn't need to dance as much though

[SyRyanYang]

ast/to ratio has more to do with decision making and play making ability rather than handles. It's usually the passes that get stolen.
But yea, CP3 is up there with Kyrie and Steph.

No one cares about your weakass era gramps. Go back to jacking it to Wilt's stats.

I wouldn't expect you to know the actual rules...

Now, you tell me these guys aren't carrying the ball....

[warriorfan]

Game recognize game


Props to Iverson for being man enough to be honest about it.


Though the thing to remember is, that if there is no Iverson then there is no Steph Curry and Kyrie Irving as we know them today. They would still be great players but their games would of taken different shape with out Iverson's influence.

Meet me on the court then gramps. Don't run that mouth without backing it up. You don't think I know the actual rules like I can't ball I'll cross you the f*ck up

damn you feeling some type of way about this you need to take a deep breath and relax

[RoseCity07]

Hell no on Steph. Kyrie maybe. Iverson has better handles than Curry.

Curry just has the quickest release. It's so fast. He doesn't even need to use much dribbling.

That's pretty obvious....

BTW, your location in your avatar says "your little sister's bedroom." I wouldn't want to know what ages you are bragging about...

[sundizz]

Nash had better handles. Curry and Kyrie have the most exciting handles but CP3 and Nash control the ball better (Bron too actually). It's not about being able to do tricky stuff, but ability to do stuff off the dribble. Curry is the best dribble shooter ever, but not the best dribble passer by a long shot (Nash is miles ahead him in this regard).

[ISHGoat]

those guys are just flashy, tons of good ball handlers

[dreamwarrior]

Steph didn't even start playing PG until he entered the NBA. He's flashy but very technical. Kyrie is pretty good. Sometimes he's flashy but not flashy for the sake of being flashy like Harden. Guys like CP3 and Nash controlled the ball better than anyone including guys like Thomas, Strickland and Hardaway.

CP3 is such an awesome PG. People don't realize how hard it is to average so many assists with such few turnovers.

[Eric Cartman]

Jason Collins was a pretty good ball handler.

[inclinerator]

cp3 is the best

[tpols]

mann Jamal Crawford is so overrated handles wise.. he just spams hesitations while carrying. steph and Kyrie have split second awareness in crowds to keep the ball from getting poked And ridiculous maneuvers to penetration and escape. Crawford either gets you to back up on a hesitation or blows by for a tear drop.. his dribbling is one dimensional and more fancy than effective.
