Curry and Irving have long been compared as players with superior offensive ability at the point guard position. Many fans are debating who is more difficult to defend against Curry or Irving. Recently, Lillard participated in a podcast with Jeff Tigue and talked about which of the two is more difficult to defend, and Lillard's statement is very professional in the eyes of many fans.

Lillard elaborated on the points where the two players are difficult to defend from different dimensions. First of all, Lillard thinks both men are very difficult to defend. At the same time, Lillard believes that Irving is very difficult to defend in one-on-one, and he believes that even if you defend flawlessly, Irving can still score, no matter which hand he uses.

And Lillard thinks Curry is constantly moving, and you can't get him out of your sight. Lillard's implication is that Curry is constantly on the run when he's off the ball. Once he's out of your sight, there's a good chance he'll shoot at any moment, which can be a nightmare for defenders at that time.

In fact, Lillard's exposition is very professional, and we will summarize him as a portrayal of the different characteristics of the two players. That is, Irving is better at playing offense with the ball, while Curry is better at offense off the ball. Irving's offense with the ball is more difficult to defend, and Curry's offense without the ball is even more difficult to defend. Because Irving's offensive arsenal is too rich when he attacks with the ball, many people think that Irving is an offensive museum, and he doesn't seem to have any shortcomings on the offensive end, whether it is the balance of his left and right hands or his ability to dribble, including his projection, he is also very prominent, so Irving's ball-handling offense is difficult to limit for defenders.

Curry's off-ball movement and how he changes without the ball is something that many players struggle to judge, including him, which is also a very mental test of the defender's mental ability, because it's hard to keep up with Curry's movement. In addition, as long as Curry is given a little space to shoot, he can complete the shot, and Curry's strong off-ball running ability and catch-and-shoot ability are also not available to many players in the league, and he is also a unique player. So Lillard's words can be summed up as Curry is difficult to defend without the ball, and Irving is difficult to defend with the ball.

And Jeff Teague also talked about how he and Irving have played against each other many times in their careers, but he has blown up every time he defends him. It can be seen that many players in the league are very appreciative of Irving's singles ability. Indeed, Irving's individual individual ability is a first-tier player even if you look at the entire history of the NBA.
