KI has figured out that his mid-range jumper counts just as much as his Uncle Drew "Rim Jobs" . With less wear and tear to his body.
More advice from 38 year old Kobe?

Wasn't it vocalized recently that Kyrie wouldn't exactly be the last to leave the court this past season?Funny thing about Kyrie. I'm sure we were all big LeBron fans during the LeBronvKobe thing and developed a fetish for LeBron's playstyle while not appreciating Kobe as much as we should have.
Then he leaves the Cavs and we end up getting essentially a mini Kobe with GOAT-tier handles and we are forced to appreciate the idiosyncrasies of Kobe/Kyrie's games.
We learn to appreciate the value of the innate scoring ability and instincts that come with a player like Kyrie. The complete and total confidence in one's jump shot, the impeccable footwork for perfect balance and lift for jumpers at any place on the court and at any angle.
We fall in love with that swagger, that "clutch gene", that oh my god play that goes against what anyone would teach their kid on how to play the game - but it went in.
But I'm a big proponent in what people appreciate most about Kobe really isn't with his oncourt play - it's his work ethic/mindset, and I don't think any perimeter player ever had that (I believe Jordan was so naturally talented he took it easy a bit often knowing that he was better than everyone). It's almost totally American in that hard work generates success and the whole "fuck you, it's mine" approach to the game. Which is fine, I'm pretty sure given how kids are in West Orange, NJ that Kobe was Kyrie's favorite player growing up. And while I don't think Kyrie is the workaholic to the point of limiting real friendships with people around him, you can tell in his footwork and craftiness that he puts in the work - both in film and practicing on the court.
But like Kobe there is that inner flaw - Kyrie may believe in his practice to a fault, which what makes that pairing with a LeBron (even Delly) type that much greater in order to bring some order to the chaos that is naturally Kyrie's game. You allow a player to focus on what makes him great, and that leads to those great moments, much like surrounding Kobe with Gasol/Bynum/Odom to rebound his misses for putbacks and make plays to put him in positions to score.
I just hope that people don't take too long to realize just how good Kyrie is until it is too late, it really is a shame that numbers are giving some of us a pause, it is okay to believe what you're seeing. Much like in the beauty of LeBron's game, the true beauty is what occurs before the shot goes up.
I don't know, just some inner ramblings on a Wednesday night.
I wear leg braces and like wearing basketball shoes because of the high ankle support. It just makes it easier for me to walk and stand for long periods. But damn, the ankle support in both the higher ankle and around the heel is super comfortable in these Kyrie 2s. I totally understand why NBA guys would wear these shoes. I've never felt a basketball shoe this comfortable.Kyries shoes are quite popular among other nba players. I have a pair of ki2 and they are a really good sneaker
