Who's REALLY the most skillful NBA player ever? NBA Skills Coach Drew Hanlen joins Combo to break it all down. Kyrie Irving. Michael Jordan. Stephen Curry. Kevin Durant. Who truly has the deepest bag and the most complete skill set? But before the skill debate, Combo and Drew dive into one of the most fascinating experiments of the NBA season — the Point Cooper experiment in Dallas. Drew explains why giving an 18-year-old the ball early is both a blessing and a challenge, what the Mavs were trying to unlock, how Cooper handled the pressure, and why his biggest growth area (ISO scoring) takes time for every young star — even KD and Steph. This episode features incredibly detailed basketball talk with rare insight into reading the game, confidence, development, shot diet, pace, footwork, and league-wide trends. Drew also gives honest behind-the-scenes perspective from working with elite players at the highest level. What You'll Hear in This Episode • The Point Cooper experiment — what worked, what didn't, and why timing matters • Why Cooper Flagg's ISO growth curve mirrors early KD & Steph • Drew's pick for most complete two-way skill ever (and why it's MJ) • Why Steph's gravity, shooting, footwork, and off-ball movement make him the most impactful offensive skill ever • Kyrie Irving's absurd bag — does anyone have more options as a scorer? • Why KD is basically a 7-foot version of the most skilled archetype ever created • The truth about IG skill trainers, “highlight culture” • How Wembanyama improved by changing his shot diet + post reads • Why today's NBA is faster AND more physical • How players get hurt more but play longer than ever • How NBA Players use injuries to come back better, not just healthy • Why Zach LaVine is misunderstood and how “situation” shapes narratives • The evolution of big-man skill (Jokić, Giannis, Wemby) • Why fans don't watch full games anymore — and why that scares Drew Featured Guest: Drew Hanlen IG/Twitter: @DrewHanlen Listen to Combo's Court Everywhere Combo's Court — Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
