[Music] Kyrie Irving is known as one of the best one-on-one players to ever play the game

and I was able to spar with him, so today I'm going to give you guys an inside look at the experience and then at the

end I'm going to give him his rank. So first of all, Kyrie came to work out, but he was still injured from his

incident with Giannis during his time with Brooklyn. He was also underweight and trying to get back in shape. With that

being said, let's start with this [Music] offense. You may think Kyrie was going to

come in and do a bunch of crossovers, shifting left to right. Nah, he was just getting to his spots. Even when I

thought I was playing good defense, he was rising up and hitting shots, which leaves me thinking tough shot

making. He was so good at fading away, fully under control, right leg up to impede you from getting to the ball. Also, the ball

was so far back that if you got through his leg, you probably would end up fouling him on his

[Music] elbow. But he was shooting them completely comfortable; never saw him off balance on the shot. So tough shot making—it's a 10

out of 10. The best part about his offense, in my opinion, was his jumper out of the triple

threat—no dribbles at all. And if you didn't crowd his space, he was almost certainly going to make the shot, like he

was shooting a layup. [Music] [Music] Toughness is a big part of the

one-on-one experience, and he checks all the boxes mentally and physically. If you give him contact, he has no problem

accepting it and going through it. As a matter of fact, he was looking for more and more contact; we all sensed it then.

No matter if we missed a shot, he was never rattled, never complained; just moved on to the next play. So his

toughness is absolutely a 10 out of 10. His finishing—first of all, I'm pretty sure

you all know what I'm going to give him when it comes to finishing. However, you've got to understand

he was taller than all of us, and his arms are longer than I thought they were. And then, on top of that, he can finish

with both hands, now, as he's going through all the contact and then elevating. He has such a soft touch on the

shot that it's almost insulting, because at times you're trying to foul him and he doesn't even know

it. It's earned him an obvious 10 out of 10. Now let's talk about the handles of

the best ball-handler to ever exist. Remember, it's not about crossovers; it's just about getting to where you want

to go. While his shiftiness didn't feel like a 10 out of 10 because of his current condition—and you even saw Heesy poke

the ball away from him one time—it was more he just does whatever he wants, and you just have to make him

as uncomfortable as you possibly can and live with the results. Lastly, about the handles, it's one of the most physical experiences I

remember having as a guard.  He was bodying us off, arming us, sweeping our legs—I mean, every trick in the book. Ball

handling is a lot more than just a bunch of fancy moves. When it comes to Kyrie, the off-arm is a part of the move. For

those of you who think that this is just an offensive foul, well, it just goes to show you don't know what it's like

to play against somebody at this level. Anybody who's had to guard Kyrie that plays in the league, you completely

Understand that he's one of the most physical ball-handlers out there. Now let's talk about his defense. Kyrie plays

better defense than people give him credit for. He'll play up and guard tight and challenge early and late. I played

against some of the best defenders in the world, so I'm not going to say that he's Drew

Holiday, but in a game of one-on-one, you definitely know he's there and that he's a threat to get a stop. His defense on

that day was an 8 out of 10 during my [Music] experience. That's what the love of money

[Music] does. Now, with all that said, it's time for a rank, and just so you know, there

are four classes: S being the highest, A, B, and C being the lowest, and in between those are the

stars; three stars to be exact. So you can be an S-class three-star, for example. Kyrie is the best that it gets.

He's an S-class three-star. The knock that I may have given him on his defense doesn't trump anything on offense. As a

matter of fact, he makes you work so hard on offense that it almost feels like he's playing defense on

you. Now, if you agree or disagree, comment below and also let me know who you want me to rank next. Keep in mind, we only

rank players who I play against or somebody from my committee plays against, and who better to trust than me,

who's kind of known for playing one-on-ones on YouTube? I'll play against anybody: from D1 influencers, NBA players, and I vowed a

100%, 100% be fair; no sugar-coating over here and no favoritism. So contact me. This will be an

ongoing series that leads to sanctioned events. Stay tuned. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe. [Applause]
