Jeff Teague says, “Too much confusion…” whether Stephen Curry or Kyrie Irving is difficult to defend.

Stephen Curry and Kyrie Irving are undoubtedly the two biggest point guards of the NBA’s 2010s generation.

Curry achieved a great deal, winning four championships and two most valuable player awards.

However, his achievements do not necessarily mean he is a better player than Irving.

Former NBA All-star Jeff Teague, who played against both in his career, chose to be difficult to be wary now.

Teague first explained that it is easier to protect isolated players than constantly moving people.

“I want to protect people who are trying to make me Italian every time,” he said in the latest episode of the Club 520 podcast.

“It’s hard to protect those players because you need to avoid so many screens and stuff like that. You’re always screened and hit.

This led Teague to the conclusion that it is difficult to protect the curry as it does not stop the curry from running, but Irving knows what he is trying to do.

“Yeah. Both are harsh reports, but I want to protect Kylie,” he continued. “At least you know where Kylie is and you’re going to catch him with that pass.

“If you look at it in one way, Steph will be the other, and you need to catch up.

Curry and Irving have played each other 23 times in the NBA, creating an exciting rivalry.

The rivalry began when the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Golden State Warriors in the 2016 NBA Finals. Irving attacked Curry at the end of Game 7 with a series-defined shot.

However, Curry still has a better, direct record, averaging slightly more points, rebounds and assists per game.

Irving is a neck and neck between two greats, as it is highly efficient from the field and also from a 3-point range.
