Kyrie Irving 6'6" debate Jeff Teague
von Yutaofficial: Jeff Teague
On the Club 520 Podcast's 520 In The Morning, Jeff Teague claims Kyrie Irving would surpass Michael Jordan if he stood 6'6". Bishop Maxey and Nacho Wells join in, insisting there is nothing he can't do at that height. They argue his game has no weakness and he isn't scared of the moment. While noting Jordan was more athletic and a Defensive Player of the Year, they suggest Kyrie might have gone undefeated in the finals with those extra inches. The group compares his ability to play like Kobe, Curry, Kevin Durant, and Russell despite being shorter.

That nigga must have some fat ass shoes when I see it. That nigga be posting niggas up. Saying if he was 6'6", he'd be better than Jordan is crazy. It's very possible, bro. Bro, what could he not do? What is y'all on, bro? What could he not do, bro? It's not crazy to say, bro. He's very talented, bro. Michael Jordan is crazy. Maybe something that he can't do. He's not scared of the moment. How many times was Jordan our defensive player of the year? Oh, shit. Our niggas don't like that. He was a good defender because he was 6'6". Jordan is undefeated in the finals. I'm not saying he's not, bro. I'm not saying he's not better than him. I'm just going to witness what we're doing. Kyrie might be undefeated if he was 6'6". We don't know. If he was 6'6", bro, there's no weakness in his game, bro. Jordan way more athletic than Kyrie. Kyrie's pretty athletic. We didn't have those accolades. No, it was Mike. Yeah, we didn't have to do that little. DJ, no. It'd be 6'6". We know who the better player is. I love Kyrie. But y'all jumping off the ledge. The best to ever do it is crazy. Give him a few inches pause Yeah we got to move on that one I might turn her up I had a little more He have been better than Kobe if he was 6 He already played like Kobe, bro. DJ. I ain't going to say nothing about Kobe. Go on, DJ. He already played like Kobe. I ain't. I'm not doing that today. I'm just saying because I'm talking about his game. It's a USA tape, man. His game, bro. His nobody. He is nothing he can't do. He dribbled better than everybody. He shoot as good as everybody. He finished at the rim just as good as everybody. We're here now, Lou. He posted up as good as everybody. Do the USA highlight, please, bro. Like, bro, it's maybe something that he don't do offensively that they do. I promise you. I'm agreeing with everything you're saying. I'm just saying he would be better than Mike, be the greatest to ever do it. That's just crazy. I'm not saying he might not have won as much as Mike. You know, that comes with a lot. That's a lot of team success, too. But just like individual playing. Imagine this at 6'6". What did Michael Jordan do his rookie year? Look at the tape. I'm not saying Mike didn't kill, bro. He couldn't do what? Man, you got the best players in the world, Garth. He going full court. All of them. The whole team. Kobe, Bello, KD, the whole team. That's Kobe and KD. What was Mike doing in them USA practices? Killing? Probably insane. I'm just saying, imagine that nigga was 6'6 doing it. Imagine if he was 6'6, bro. Who is that? Is that Russell? Russell getting killed. Well, y'all wasn't bullshitting in the NBA back then. Bro, he had a lean turn. Look at this. He was 10. Yo, Kawhi, too. What are y'all showing me? You ain't watching, cuz. Yes, I am. I seen that. Come here, EJ. He is torturing him. He cold, cuz. He didn't miss, cuz. Cuz, y'all fouled, cuz. Y'all fouled. I love Kyrie, y'all. But to say he'd be better than Jordan if he was six and eight. He could be. I ain't gonna say he would, cause I don't know, but he could be. He could bro.
