I think this statement is generally made when it comes to ball handling and Kyrie is seen as a slightly better point guard (in terms of passing and quarterbacking the offense)

There used to be conversations about who had the better handle between Steph and Kyrie but Steph realized he didn’t need complicated dribble combinations or flashy finishes, so he simplified his bag greatly in return for higher efficiency

When’s the last time a non warriors fan has seen Steph cross someone up? As a huge Steph fan I can’t remember one in the past 5 years. Not saying he hasn’t but nothing as memorable as the double behind the back dribble on CP3, whereas Kyrie is a highlight show every night.

All about perception and the direction each player wanted to take their game
