Kyrie was averaging 25 on 47% shooting as a rookie?
It means he got more comfortable and adjusted to the NBA game. Doesn't necessarily mean he improved. What has he added to his game that he didn't have his rookie year?
Kyrie still has a 30 ppg season in him somewhere down the line. He's not even 25 yet so no way is he at his best. He doesn't rely on his athleticism anyway and just like CP3 who had injuries early in his career and still thrived I think Kyrie will do the same.
His playmkaing ability has improved damn near exponentially, but still somehow under the radar.
The funny thing about Love/Irving's primes/potential primes, is that it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibilities for their declines to occur before LeBron's.

I agree with u. Honestly its hard to tell because its the first time kyrie and love been on a great team so a lot of the pressure on them to be stars is taking away by the presence of bron and the only way we will see what they are made of is when lebron starts to decline or gets injured and misses multiple games.
He plays less spastic because he is not the alpha dog anymore but i doubt he can carry the heavy minute load that lebron does. Whats his average mins of playing time this year?
KYRIE HAS BEEN THE SAME PLAYER
SINCE HE STEPPED INTO THE NBA.
HE LITERALLY HASNT IMPROVED AT ANYTHING.
DUDE 6 YEARS IN
AND PEOPLE STILL TALKING ABOUT HES GONNA BECOME A PLAYMAKER
AND AVERAGE 10 ASSISTS.SO MANY LOW BASKETBALL IQS IN HERE.
I TOLD @Basaglia AFTER KYRIES ROOKIE YEAR
THAT HE PEAKED ALREADY
WHEN HE CLAIMED DUKE WOULD AVERAGE
23 & 12 HIS SECOND SEASON.UNLIKE ROSE, RUSS & WALL
HE CAME IN THE LEAGUE WITH A GREAT JUMPSHOT
AND AVERAGE ATHLETICISM.
SO IT WAS CLEAR HE HAD NO MORE ROOM TO GROW AS A SCORER
AND HES NEVER REALLY BEEN A PG.
JUST AN UNDERSIZED 2.

some nyggas gotta improve and some nyggas don't.
He is just 25 but if his knee is as bad as @Gil Scott-Heroin says, there's a lot to worry about.
