Echoes of Larry Bird in Kyrie's mesmerizing 60-point game 

NETS were winning by 30 points at half... K.IRVING was playing for the stats.

What a neat factoid! I want to know more about this, like when it started, ended, and how these sites were chosen, etc. I wonder what impact that had on building the league’s popularity, since it might have been easier to go to your favorite team’s game at a site closer to home, even if the occasion was rare.

@@mitchellholcomb1561 tbh they only did this Bc New Orleans was starving for bball so Houston Atlanta and Dallas would sometimes play there in the old jazz arena

Why were the Hawks playing games in New Orleans "At home"?

I unsubscribe cause you wouldn’t make any Kyrie video.

Lol, it's on the magic 🤣🤣🤣 Seem bench warmers drop 30 on the magic

That last sentence can be used for like any record or feat lol

George Gervin and Dave Thompson 1978

No that last time this happened was probably in 06 with Kobe, he had a whole week where he had 81 and 2 other 60 pint games

If only the Ben on the nets could get his ass out on the court and help his team make a playoff push

He's amazing to watch; he also has the swag/confidence and he is the most clutch player in the league imo, has been for years

@@Ballsofsteel1313 I don't check that so I appreciate him spreading that fun fact

and a 2nd round exit

McHale and Bird scored 56 and 60 in the same week

so you only start watching basketball last night?

@@onlyfacts3178 Man stop being a prick. What he said is absolutely a fact. I mean really, what facet of the game is he not SKILLED at? His dribbling is the best ever (debatably), his finishing is premier, shot creation..need i say anything? Only thing you could reasonable argue is his defense

​@@onlyfacts3178 he is uttering facts.

To be fair he plays like twice a week so he has more energy and fresh legs

bro locked down harden in that 6ers game lol

He's always been a menace on defense when interested.

@@afterthought6889 big facts. Kyrie likes blocking shots with that left hand like Kobe too, I remember he had a game saving block on Curry in Game 1 of the 2015 finals before he got injured

@@Simon_Sez love that ppl notice the left hand blocks.

lmao, this is so spot on, it always seems like having to score buckets is an annoyance for him

Mj?

Kobe ain’t on the planet no more but definitely shades of him. Dave get cold asl too

Problem is, they need to combine for 80 if the other team scores 120, you dont win a title that way

Is it? 7 all-star, 3 All-NBA (no first team), zero MVP votes, under 14,000 career points For reference Tracy McGrady is a 7 time all-star, 7 All-NBA (two first), 6 top ten MVP, 18300 points Joe Dumars 6 all-star, 3 time All-NBA (0 first team), 5 time All-Defense (3 first), Finals MVP, 4 top 20 MVP finishes, 16400 points Is he a top 75 talent? Probably. But the list is based on accomplishments. (And yes I know there are guys from the top 50 who shouldn't be there but Kyrie is still a ways down the waiting list)

@@michaelahurt Forgot to mention Kyrie's ring and his rookie of the year award.

@@brandonanderson117 I didn't. Any award that Michael Carer-Williams has but Magic Johnson and Hakeem Olanuwon don't isn't worth much. The ring is nice but ultimately it says as much or more about your teammates as you. And Dumars has two anyway.

Irving is top 5 all time.

@@michaelahurt Kyrie was on the list but removed because of the covid situation

he has an advantage tho, less games played = fresh legs for the postseason, the man will go absolutely bananas in the playoffs, nobody can guard him 1 on 1

@Gibran Camus nahh I think he’s right.. having to play back 2 back and Fatigue loses you a lot of games

@Gibran Camus if he is dropping 60 i think he is in rhythm, kyrie is so good that with only a few games, he is scorching hot

@Gibran Camus limited game time would be a disadvantage for a developing player, not a seasoned vet with a championship under his belt. kyrie having more rest than every starter and most bench players on every other team is a huge advantage for him. doesn’t diminish this performance, but don’t pretend like he didn’t have an edge by having more rested legs than most other players. that’s why teams having back-to-back games is a disadvantage for them. by your logic, a team with back-to-backs has the advantage because they’re playing more frequently and are getting more game time while the other team is resting.

@@felipecabrera5468 fresh legs indeed plus he has ALOT more free time to work on his shooting, moves ect

Land a plane lol. I don't think we're gonna see that lineup very much, Capela is gonna look like Giannis if they do that

@@goated.content Capella? Isn't he is on Atlanta? Also kd/ben tall enough to snatch those alleys out the air!(imo) Also who is he gonna guard on the other side? Everyone will blow pass him on the perimeter. Also Ben got ups bro,so once he drives on Collins or capella,who ever left in that paint is getting yammed on! Its gonna look like a gang beating because if anyone helps the man getting beat , then the rifles are out and everyone is shooting!

@@goated.content all in all its gonna be a great watch barring injury!

The best thing ben he can do is play like Draymond green, a facilitator on offence and an anchor on defense, since can have 4 shooters on the court with him, he won't have the same problems as he was on the 6sers

@@raeserec535 true. I bet that man gonna bust out a 3pt shot at some point. Ppl forget jkidd wasn't much of a shooter in his early days, he scored a total of 0 points in the finals.(if I'm correct against the lakers) Later in his career he became a clutch and deadly 3pt shooter. Ppl with the gift of passing like Ben and kidd, tend not to shoot because they understand patience and the concept of getting the best shot. Sometimes the best shot is that guy flying down court before the defense. Sometimes it's just to dump it in to the big, sometimes it's hit the guy in the corner , but usually if i cant get my team an easy bucket the lay up is the 2nd highest percentage shot. I maintain that Ben Simmons can shoot and is most likely going to be really effective at it because a part of being a good shooter and player in general is shot selection. Ben does not like talking bad shots. Sorry for the ramble but I just think this cat is an untapped well.

He's the most skilled. Position got nothing to do with it.

Most skilled player ever periods

No one seems to be interested in that and I can't understand why

I disagree, best shooting guards, may be, but neither is a true point guard. And besides, they can go off, yes, but they are not anywhere as consistent as Luka. Look at points created and impact and Luka is the best PG in the league period. Dont argue, it's pointless

@@javigar133 everyone has an opinion

Idk I personally agree with most of his decisions going to the Celtics made sense and teaming up with KD made even more sense

Not taking the vaccine was a great decision

@@pervyboy69 i dont think it was a good or bad decision but the fault lies with new york and their mandates

he was great in cleveland attacking off the catch off-ball, when he got to the nets he seemed to stop doing off-ball work as much, glad to see he's going back to it

@@uuh4yj43 i think he became a more ball dominant guy in Boston when he became the leader of the team. Glad to see the offball Kyrie.

@@nithilanamudhan6260 actually forgot for a sec he was in boston b4 the nets, but i think he had a more balanced attack there, he became real "mamba-mentality" "i have to have the last shot" in brooklyn, i remember the first year durant was injured and he was just isoing every last possession of the game trying to get off contested game winners

Freedom of movement, 3-point spacing, and the ability to palm the ball have made small guards much more lethal than they've ever had the opportunity to be.

I concur I’ve watched the NBA since 1979 and it is mad easy to score a bucket. These small guards don’t have to worry about a 6’9! 245 Xavier McDaniel, going head hunting at the rim! What ever happened to defense ?
