Former NBA player Terrence Ross recently discussed the skill sets of Kyrie Irving and Stephen Curry on the Players Choice show. While Ross acknowledged Curry as the greater overall player based on his four championships and two MVP awards, he described Irving as possessing more inherent talent. Ross cited his experience playing against Irving, highlighting the guard's ability to score under pressure and utilize a diverse offensive arsenal. He contrasted this with Curry’s reliance on his three-point shooting, which remains the centerpiece of the Golden State Warriors star's success. Despite praising Irving's skill, Ross ultimately deferred to Curry’s decorated professional resume when pressed to choose between the two. Irving, who has never received an MVP vote, continues to earn praise for his ball-handling and creative finishing abilities.
