Kyrie Irving is probably the most underrated player in the league right now

[Draje]

Bosh was playing as a 3rd option why Gasol was a second option. Less touches. After Gasol, there is no other all star on that team. Bosh had Wade ahead of him on shot attempts

So would you prefer to compare Gasol to Wade and Bosh to Odom?

2nd option Wade:

22.8 (46%) / 5.2 REB / 4.3 AST (3 TOV) / 1.7 STLS / 1.3 BLKS - 1st Ring

15.9 PPG (46%) / 4.6 REB / 4.8 AST (2.6 TOV) / 1.7 STL / 1 BLK - 2nd Ring

2nd option Gasol:

18.3 PPG (58%) / 10.8 REB / 2.5 AST (1.9 TOV) / .8 STLS / 2 BLKS - 1st ring

19.6 PPG (52%) / 11.1 REB / 3.5 AST (1.9 TOV) / .4 STL / 2.1 BLKS

3rd Option Bosh:

14 PPG (49%) / 7.8 REB / .6 AST (1.4 TOV) / .4 STL / 1 BLK - 1st ring

12.1 (45%) / 7.3 REB / 1.5 AST (1.2 TOV) / 1 STL / 1.6 BLK

3rd option Odom:

12.3 (52%) / 9.1 REB / 1.8 AST (1.7 TOV) / .7 STL / 1.3 BLK - 1st ring

9.7 (46%) / 8.6 REB / 2 AST (1.2 TOV) / .7 STL / .9 BLK

So you wanna tell me that Bosh and Wade's statlines are drastically superior to Odom's and Gasol's?

Edit: And using all star appearances is a shytty metric because it doesn't really take into account different conferences. Derozan made the all-star game over CP3, Damian, Lilliard, etc because guard competition in the west is different than the East.

Would Bosh be an all star if he was competitive with Duncan, Dirk, Marc Gasol, Pau Gasol, Aldridge, etc?

There is no way on this planet or any other that Kyrie Irving is better than Prime Pau Gasol during that Laker run.

Prime Gasol + LeBron would be unfair.

Truth. The other problem with the stupid comparison is that teams are much more stacked than they were in the 2009-2010 Lakers days. They're crying about Pau as a #2 when their playoff opponents had #2 options like Rashard Lewis, Aaron Brooks, Carlos Boozer, 35 year old KG, etc.

What does "better individual player" even mean. It's a team sport. Who cares who wins 1 on 1 at the Rucker?

Nash is one of the GOAT passers, was extremely efficient and an all time great shooter. There's no way I'm taking Kyrie before him.

This is the dumbest shyt I've read in a long time

Lmao

 

[Trece]

He carries the Cavs in the clutch thats for sure..

 

[Numpsay]

This is true

In just first 3 seasons (no lebron) he won rookie of the year and made 2 all star games despite missing lots of games to injury

He was 21 years old when bron came back. People act like his game peaked already and there was no way Cleveland could ever win with him as the main guy

You posted individual accomplishments in response to my post saying there was no team success with him as the main guy.

THREAD IRONY...
STEVE NASH HAS BECOME THE MOST UNDERRATED PLAYER ON THE COLI.



​

Been saying this for a minute. The amount of disrespect Nash gets on this board is ridiculous.

That's what happens when you don't become a superstar until age 30, and then every other pg your coach touches improves dramatically

I think we're gonna have to settle this with some slap boxing with slides on.

I'm more comfortable in slides than you are

More like he's overrated by a certain type of nikkas to underrate Bron.

He's a Top 15-20 player that can play like a Top 10 player on any given night.

The eye test nikka. That white boy could shoot and pass the ball. Nash stole an MVP from Shaq, but he was a great player.

Absolutely

But NOBODY was calling him a future hall of famer in dallas

He was a 2 time all star at 30 years old
