The Dallas Mavericks have a generational talent in Luka Doncic.
He has a case for being the best player in the league or at least one of the three best, and he’s just getting started.
However, there’s not much of a talent drop-off when you look at his best sidekick.
Kyrie Irving is a mesmerizing player, a one-man show that can put people on their feet almost every single possession.
With that in mind, Skip Bayless reacted to LeBron James’ comments on his former teammate.
In the latest edition of “Undisputed,” he went as far as to call Irving the most gifted player he had ever seen, at least inch for inch.
He claimed that Irving was more talented than Allen Iverson, who was the same height, because he was a better finisher and had better handles.
“Inch for inch, Kyrie is the most gifted player I’ve ever seen.”

He also gushed about his shot-making and how creative and versatile he is, as he can finish with either hand with the same effectiveness.
The narrative around Kyrie has never been about his talent or lack thereof.
If anything, that’s why the fans were so frustrated with him and his lack of availability at the time, as he’s one of the most entertaining players we’ve ever seen.
Whether he’s the most gifted player of all time or even better than Allen Iverson is up for debate, and everybody’s entitled to their opinion.
What’s an actual fact is that watching Kyrie play basketball is a treat to the eyes and a work of art.
