Kyrie Irving won the NBA Handle of the Year Award, and for good reason. Stephen Curry, James Harden and Chris Paul are all great ball-handlers, but none of them can do what Irving does with the rock.
Kyrie not only is the best ball-handler in the League right now, he may be the best ever. I have characterized his dribbling as jackhammer-like, and his crossover is elite. And he is just plain quick.
Earl Monroe had various nicknames during his high school, college and pro careers - Black Jesus, Earl the Pearl and Thomas Edison (for inventing new moves) are a few of them.
