Kyrie Irving vs. John Wall

[RazorsEdge]

Ive been watching a lot of youtube of these guys and both have amazing handles and great finishing moves. My question is, in a one on one game to 21....who ya got?

1-on-1, I'll take Kyrie.

Kyrie is a much better shooter and that would be the deciding factor, IMO.

The only real edge Wall has on Kyrie is his pure PG skills. He's a better playmaker and passer. In a game of 1-on-1... those skills don't matter.

I'd take Wall, he broke out last season and the Wizards are a serious threat after their offseason pickups of PP and Humphries.

Wall and Beal is one of the best young backcourts in the NBA.

 

[Hambombs]

Deff John wall. Not even close

 

[Clayton]

Initially Wall seems like a vastly superior player just because of defense. Irving is the better scorer and that matters with the league lacking a lot of SG threats but...

yeah, Wall is still better. He does need to work on a few things, though

Dude. It's called reading the statement and question proposed. Game of 1 on 1. Damn.

Wall


This is not a close race at all.

1 v 1? Kylie wins 9 out of 10 times. He's the perfect street ball player. Unfortunately Wall dominates as an overall basketball player.

Kylie is extremely overrated.

I tend to agree with this. It would be fun to watch though.

Irving probably wins in a game of 1 on 1 because he's a better shooter.

Wall seems like a better players because of his stats, but I feel Kyrie is a better piece to a championship team. He just feels like a winner. Better shooter, basketball IQ. Wall seems like one of those guys who puts up great stats for so-so teams, ala Steph Marbury.

Kyrie hasn't made the playoffs yet while Wall just led his team to a playoff series win.

What has Kyrie done in the league besides a few highlight reel layups and a couple regular season game winners against the Bobcats and Sixers?

I'll take the speed demon that actually plays a little defense.

Irving is smarter so I'll take him.

Kyrie is a better shooter bottom line and scoring is what wins eventually. I'm also kind of thinking that the Cavs likely make the playoffs this year does that mean Kyrie led us there?

This "led his team to the playoffs" stupidity is just that, stupidity. 1 guy can't lead any team to the playoffs without enough talent surrounding him.

You mean the guy who sometimes plays out of control? Wall can't shoot as good as Irving, isn't as good of a finisher, and isn't quite to Kyrie's level. Likely never will be. Wall is good, but he ain't Irving.

A guy who claims Kyrie is overrated is someone who knows almost nothing about basketball.

Thanks for the comedy this early in the morning. LOLOLOLOLOL, not even close. Must be John Wall's mommy.

Can you be any more of a homer? Five different replies to make your pt? Anyhow - there are pluses & minuses for both guys (like most NBA players). Wall is coming off a very good year & sure he has some issues as does Irving (you make him sound like the next Magic - please).

When did I say anything that made him sound like Magic? Wall had a better surrounding cast than Irving, much better. Irving shoots better than Wall, much better. Finishes at the rim better too. Wall is a nice talent. He'll never be as good as Irving. Let's see who "leads their team to the playoffs" in the next few years! I'm just guessing that Irving and the Cavs go further over the next say 5 years.
