Is Kyrie the best NBA player to date from Duke?

[CHICAGO]

Kyrie is better, not by much though

YOU CANT PUT KYRIE ON A BAD TEAM
AND EXPECT HIM TO LEAD THEM TO THE PLAYOFFS.

HE CANT DO WHAT JIMMY
DID IN MINNY LAST SEASON.

HES BEEN ON SOME OF THE MOST TALENTED TEAMS IN THE EAST SINCE 2014.

GRANT WAS LEADING THE PISTONS TO 54 WINS
BY HIS 3RD SEASON.

OP using that old ass antiquated argument from the 90s about Duke not putting stars in the league. Meanwhile, Carolina hasn't put a meaningful player in the league over 10 years now.

Marvin Bagley coming for that spot.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Na.....it’s grant.....

But once Zion comes....it’s gonna be a wrap for all that

i know alot of cats came through duke and most sucked. Grant was cool but no ring. Tatum is good but not as gsme changing. (Honestly tatum needs his own team cuz boston stagnates his growth).

Then u have laettner who was a role player and many other guys


So is kyrie the best nba player so far?

If it's just points? Kyrie. Skill? Grant. If We are counting rings and role/accolades? Dtown Battier.

Grant Hill before injuries was better and I don't see Kyrie ever reach that level of play but Kyrie could surpass him all-time with more additional seasons of high level play, at 27 in 3 days some of his best years are still in front of him if he stays healthy.

Yea grant hill before that infected ankle was a problem. They have completely different styles of play so its hard for me to say one is better than the other. As far as impact on the nba I gotta go kyrie

 

[WhoShotCha]

Being able to bounce back from injury and alter your game as you age is a skill. Plus Kyrie won a championship and took down a titan. Kyrie> A talented woulda coulda shoulda nikka.

Kyrie aint better than Grant. Plus I don't even count him as a Duke player...he played what, 8 games there? Were any even against the ACC?

It's BY FAR Grant Hill.

Better career you can say Kyrie, but player it's the dude wth the GOAT Fila shoe

 

[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

Grant hill was a beast in prime.

6 straght years

20 6 5
Ppg apg r pg
3 years 21 9 7

6 all stars
5 all nba

One first team. 4 second team all nba.

Kyrie in same time.

6 all stars
One all nba third team.

Grant was better at peak clearly.

Kyrie is great but not as good as grant was.
