Top 5 Active NBA Players with the Nastiest Stepbacks

#3 Kyrie Irving, Boston Celtics

Miami Heat v Boston Celtics

Kyrie Irving earned his right to be the franchise player in Boston when he decided against playing in LeBron James’ shadow in Cleveland. He is arguably the best isolation player in the league right now. His dazzling displays of electric dribble moves as he gets to the basket with trickery render him unstoppable.

It’s easy to forget his ability to shoot from distance since he has a high tendency to attack the basket. In the 2016 NBA Finals, he made one of the most famous step-back 3s in NBA history that sealed the win over the Golden State Warriors. He is no stranger to the step back and is always ready to use it effectively. He has the element of surprise and one can never anticipate his next move. He remains the best ball handler in the league.
