True alpha of the team. Despite a broken knee cap and months of rust.

Did you read the article?

[STATUTORY]

not surprised, Bran has always been an absolute shit iso scorer with his lack of jumpshot, pedestrian first step, and weak hops off two feet

there some full bodied n99as at rucker park that would overwhelm Bran 1 on 1and go deep inside him right now

Can OP read? Or did he just choose to ignore the article he posted

"only 1 dribble allowed"

that's not a 1 on 1

that's a shooting drill

[FreezingTsmoove]

Well to be fair if Kyrie got the ball first Lebron probably didnt even get a chance on offense

[ArbitraryWater]

James ultimately evened the set of games 2-2 before the pair finished for the afternoon, but Irving was, apparently, in the zone.

[WadeBronDonJuan]

Also lets ignore the fact that I'm sure Lebron was going super easy on Kyrie on defense. I would personally be afraid of Kyrie getting hurt again

To be fair, LeBron would be more like the Red Hood to Kingrie's Batman. And by that I mean him getting crushed in the finals and then going ghost the rest of the series.

[Andrei89]

Is it a surprise that Kyrie beats Lebron 1 v 1? In a 1 v 1 the one with the best ball handle and dribbling moves will always win. Kyrie is one of the best I have seen at that.

Some have different interpretations of 'destruction' it seems :cheers:

Anyway, Kyrie should do him like that one on one, at least when he got the ball.

[GIF REACTION]

It's the drill they were doing in the USA team training during the off-season

Who the fvck are you to say he took it super easy? Are you lebronze? I swear you stans act like you're lebronze saying he did this, did that....stfu

[JimmyMcAdocious]

Current LeBron would be a second tier player if we're talking 1v1. No surprises here.

You got guys like Durant, Steph, Porzingis in tier 1 fwiw.

[Trollsmasher]

so now "destroyed" means he tied him 2-2 with rules set against Bron?:lol

[tmacattack33]

So... only one dribble was allowed. :oldlol:

And apparently Lebron evened it up to 2 games won each after a hot-start from Kyrie. So... Kyrie didn't even win? :oldlol:

This is how you get people to click on a link on the internet. Terrible "journalism" :facepalm

[imdaman99]

No one plays 1 on 1s seriously, especially teammates. You think Kyrie would be able to stop a committed and motivated Lebron James?

[SwishSquared]

Yeah... Kyrie went up 2-0 in a game in which only 1 dribble was allowed and they played to 3 buckets. The report said Kyrie got a hot hand when he won those games.

LBJ then won the next 2 before the drill ended.

Should we call Kyrie a choker now?

[HoopSuperstar]

I hope that means he's getting in shape, he needs to play good defense for the cavs to really have a good chance at winning the championship.

[PistonsFan#21]

Actually no. Give me height, size and strength over handles and dribbling moves in a 1v1 anyday.

[Kvnzhangyay]

Actually no. Give me height, size and strength over handles and dribbling moves in a 1v1 anyday.

Yeah but they were only allowed one dribble so strength and size was useless

[HoopSuperstar]

When you play 1 on 1 and you're the smaller guy you must make your shots, because out rebounding and defending a player like Lebron isn't easy.

[SamuraiSWISH]

One dribble pull up 1v1 though

That negates all of LeBron's strengths ... no rebounding. No size advantage. Less defensive impact.

And Kyrie was reportedly in the zone and only won 3 games to 2 games for LeBron ... and it was first player to 3 buckets. Big deal.

The best one on one guys in the league right now are as follows:

Durant
Steph
LeBron
Melo
Kyrie
Harden
CP3
Westbrook

[Monta Ellis MVP]

Some of you may already have heard that I am a longtime Pacer fan but I also follow the Cavaliers as well. Seeing many Cavaliers games I have seen how LeBron's lack of skills and fundamentals has really been exposed with his dwindling athleticism. This mixed with the fact that LeBron James doesn't really have a consistent jump shot and it's no surprise that he lost to Kyrie Irving.

Fwiw I think LBJ is skilled in many aspects, but shooting has always been and likely always will be an Achilles heel.

It's the same way LBJ used to beat Ray Allen in 3 point competitions. They win some, they lose some.

You know people are idiotic in their LeBron hate, when imdaman99 actually supports LeBron. :oldlol:

Yeah, OP and the Kobe brigade should learn to read before posting.

[BigNBAfan]

Don't shoot the messenger.

That's like saying don't blame the newspaper if the editor wrote something stupid. You're the one spreading this stupid shit, of course you too should be held accountable. It's like you're jeff-ing, giving out information that does not belong to you and if there's a error be quick to scapegoat the writer.

I don't care at all. Just if you're going to have such a blatant gimmick at least have it be funny.
