another thing i dont understand: in this day and age of the media being everywhere, all the time, how come no one has talked to kyrie nor bron yet?.....they just running with 'sources' and 'camps'......you would think some reporter would be trying to get his/her big break by getting the first words from either of them about this....yet, no one has....

That's kinda the whole point though...If they wanted to be made available to clear the record or refute anything being reported they could do so with the slightest of ease... They're speaking though their surrogates and letting the media do the talking for them... It's kinda funny that certain people want to invalidate the entire institution of reporters, journalists and the integrity of not compromising sources just cause they don't like the story being painted

#1 The only thing Kyrie did in that series was score....... in which LeBron did more of IN ADDITION TO everything else. That's number one.

#2 I don't believe either Steph or Iggy deserved MVP in 2015, it still shoulda been LeBron cause he was clearly the most valuable player in that series for either team. And if you can refute that please do.
Lebron ain't win so no FMVP. In fact the Warriors won games 4, 5 and 6 in that series. Bron ball got figured out

no one is invalidating the media, but after a while, 'sources' and 'camps' dont cut it, and you need it from the direct source....especially when the stories contradict each other...and the same way you put it on them to clear the air, it can be put on the media to get it from them....the media knows where kyrie is at, so why not have someone go there and ask a question?...it's cause they dont want to and you can get more clicks by making shyt up....ex: 'bron is eager to have kyrie gone'..the person that wrote that didnt even say sources/camps, he just made that up himself lol...and people are running with it.....

The day this story broke the press reached out to Kyrie and he told their ass "no comment...What was said in the meeting with management was said in confidence" in a statement through his agent...He knew what was being reported, confirmed that the core of it was true (that such a meeting took place), then made a coy non-answer bout the specifics...What do you want the press to do...Fly to china, kidnap kyrie and waterboard him till he says "fukk LeBron" on the record? :pachaha:

You think they're turning down interviews from LeBron James?

If portland does this they dumb as hell lillard has proven he can get not so great teams to the playoffs in the west kyrie couldn't get that portland squad to the playoffs lol.

You must be blind. Anyone with 2 eyes can be Kyrie is 10x the player Lillard is. Portland would be immeasurably better if they flipped Lillard for Kyrie.

this is the part that kills me with yall. if he struggled playing with all those snipers on the cavs, what the hell type of players do you think he needs around him?
i think any great player would love to have players around that space the floor if nothing else.

Kyrie is a dope mid-range and outside shooter. His strength isn't driving the ball. He doesn't need just 3-point shooters. He would be better served playing with athletic wings that can run and legit low post bigs.

LeBron is the one with limited outside shooting skills that needs the paint to be empty every play to be effective.

Kyrie can be effective with a paint packed with defenders cause he can SHOOT.
