Keon Ellis calls Kyrie Irving the toughest player to guard

“A guy like [Jalen] Brunson or [Steph] Curry, [Damian Lillard], you have to be in their airspace because any little bit of room, it’s going up, and we know how those guys can get it going,” Ellis continued. “But Kyrie, he can shoot it from 3, but he can also get to his spot in the mid-range. He’ll do something that you ain’t ever seen. You’ll think you have him, and he’ll just throw something up with the left hand, and it’ll hit nothing but net.” -via NBC Sports Bay Area / September 5, 2024
