Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green has some massive praises for Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving as he watched him torch the Indiana Pacers on Sunday.
On Twitter, Green dropped the best description of Irving, calling the Nets playmaker a “big man, in a guard body.” He also reminded everyone how good of a ball-handler Kyrie is, skills that have been often forgotten and overshadowed by the guard's off-court antics.
“Kyrie is a big man, in a guard body. With the craziest handle and a torch. Don’t let that go over y’all head,” the Warriors forward shared.
Draymond Green's comments certainly have tons of merit. After all, Kyrie Irving's ability to finish at the rim is just incredible one would think he's a well-polished big man. The way he uses his handles to fool opponents and make life hard for his defenders has also helped him develop this reputation as one of the most difficult players to guard in the NBA.
While people are often distracted by what he says and does off the court, no one can deny that he is an elite basketball player. The Warriors star said as much in his praise of Irving.
For what it's worth, even his former Cleveland Cavaliers teammate LeBron James is impressed with Irving's skills. The Nets veteran recently went viral for his warm-up drill showing him using his fingers to dribble. James reacted to the video and shared how “insane” the drill is.
Irving might be often underappreciated by fans, but his NBA peers clearly understand what he is capable of.
