Kyrie Irving (PG) vs. Stephen Curry (PG)
Kyrie Irving of the Dallas Mavericks has consistently impressed everyone, as he has tallied 25.4 on average per game over 51 appearances. He has agility and is very good. The latter has been tremendous for the Mavs. Irving is known for scoring more than the rest, only having a slightly low rebound and block rating but is generally a great scorer and assist is what makes him stand out.
Across the aisle, the Golden State Warriors point guard, Stephen Curry, goes on showing why he is rated as one of the best shooters in NBA history. He has an average of 26.5 points per game and his shooting accuracy on the three-point shots are just unbelievable. It’s therefore evident what an impact he brings to the court. In contrast, although Curry’s turnovers rate is much higher than Irving’s, his courageous leadership and clutch capability makes all the difference for the Warriors.
Both players play different styles of basketball, but their strengths lie in sharp shooting and an incredibly long range. The shape of this match and its outcome will depend largely on these two players, so it will be a major element to watch out for.
