Draymond Green vs The World...Day 1: Kyrie Irving

[ikbm]

What would be Golden State's winning percentage without Steph and KD thioigh?

they would be the 8th seed in the west at worst....considering the coaching and also having klay. they would not be bottom feeder status in my opinion.

Lol @ "All Kyrie does is score"... as if there is a more important aspect to basketball. The team with the most points wins. When two great teams go at it, it's going to be close. Would you rather have the guy whose going to do everything but score or the guy who is the best 1 on 1 player in the league, when the game essentially turns into 1 on 1's? A guy who can't be stopped from scoring when it matters vs a guy who does intangibles? Is this even a serious question? And I'm a huge fan of Dray.

Draymond is not an elite or go to scorer but he can put up points. Saying he does everything but score is crazy. That's Tony Allen. The guy averaged 17 in the Finals and put up 32 in Game 7. He doesn't need to score, he has KD, Curry, and Klay Thompson anyway.

Volume scoring is overrated as fukk anyway.

Kyrie isn't even a "volume scorer". Dray is a good scorer and one of the best defenders of all time. That still isn't better than, to me, the best finisher in the NBA and the best 1 on 1 scorer in the league. Not to mention one of the clutchest players ever, he hit a game 7 winning 3 pointer on the road in the finals. The Finals showed how valuable it was to have a guy like Kyrie who couldn't be stopped on offense. There was no debate about who was more valuable when they went head to head.

What has Kyrie done to make you say you would pick em to build a team around? It wasn't as if it was going great for him when he was the #1 option.

As far as building around Draymond, I'm sure it's possible. Im sure if he could be a 20 plus scorer if he was the 2nd option. Hos D may/will suffer tho

Uhh last years finals didn't show you what he's capable of? Kyrie skill set is more valued in today's NBA. An elite guard who can score anywhere on the court. He will be great on any team. Draymond is good but he's a fourth option in a great system. Draymond can't create so he's not going to get 20 points anywhere

Because he has dangerous scorers all around him. It's fukking obvious but ok. Majority says Kyrie. Next

Anyone saying Green answer this. Who would you build your squad around?

Building a squad around Kyrie is like building a squad around Monta Ellis in his prime.

bettrr than what a team with Draymond as the first option.

Ok, his team is "better" than Draymond but at the end of the day a Kyrie led team is still gonna be a 26 win lottery team. Real impressive.

That's like a nikka with one arm trying to laugh at a nikka with one leg. You're not winning shyt with either of them as your best player so that argument is kind of pointless to me.

Drayman Green really isn't as good of a player as he is a player in the right situation.

 

[Illuminatos]

Lets not even get into the fact that when you build your team around Kyrie he's guaranteed to miss around 10-20 games because of injury.

Awful awful post

What's the difference between Kyrie and Monta in his prime?

 

[Osmosis]

Draymond is clearly better
