Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are considered two of the most skilled players in the history of the NBA. Both players are incredible with the ball in their hands and can do things most players couldn’t dream of. Tracy McGrady recently said that Irving and Durant are two of the most skilled teammates in NBA history, even more so than LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. And LeBron and D-Wade seem to agree.
Dwyane Wade and LeBron James responded to the comments made by Tracy McGrady. Wade and James both seemed to take it positively, noting that McGrady’s comments were not a knock on them, but rather, an indictment of the skill of the Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. LeBron James added that 2 of the most skilled players of all time, so them not being as skilled as them is not a slight on their abilities.
I see no lie told! They are 2 of the most skilled players of ALL-TIME

Dwyane Wade: And that is not a dig. Them two dudes are SKILLED af!
LeBron James: I see no lie told! They are 2 of the most skilled players of ALL-TIME
Tracy McGrady called Irving and Durant 2 of the most skilled teammates of all time, arguably even more so than Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. What McGrady said is not at all outrageous, considering the raw talent both players possess. Irving and Durant’s ability to maneuver the ball is absolutely sensational, and they use their control of the ball to help bolster their scoring and thus aid their team each night.
Durant and Irving will be pursuing an NBA championship, but they won’t have an easy road. The Nets are currently 0-1 down to the Boston Celtics and will need to have an incredible performance for the rest of the series to try and come back and move past the first round and make a run.
