WHO GETS TO ISO ALL DAY.
THOSE DUDES FACE MUCH MORE DEFENSIVE ATTENTION
WHILE LEADING THEIR PLAYOFF TEAMS.
Kyrie Irving is probably the most underrated player in the league right now

I wish I could see him w/o Bron at this point in his career for an extended period of to see if his game could translate to W's.
No, Kyrie is overrated if anything. He can be a clutch monster (like he was yesterday), and has great offensive skills, but the guy can senselessly shoot the team out of games, and doesn't offer much on defense. It's why he's a great second option, but probably wouldn't be in the playoffs if he led the team.

ALL of the past greats were great 1-on-1 players that ISO'd all day. This no-iso ball is new, probably over the past 10+ when they were struggling to find a enough players that could create or get their own basket. Find me one that wasn't.
Kyrie is great in that he can get his shot off any time he wants and get to whatever spot he wants. I will say that he's a shytty PG though. He can't run a team or orchestrate an offense for ish, and as a PG, that would hurt him. If he played all SG, then he's Top 10.
He can post up too
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PGS THOUGH.
WHY EVEN QUOTE ME....
TYPE ALL THAT BULLshyt
JUST TO TURN AROUND AND AGREE WITH ME?
I can't go that far. Steph isn't as explosive and can't finish as well as Kyrie. Kyrie probably has slightly better handle. Besides those, Curry is better
Reigning champ PG. Hit the game winner in game 7 and outplayed the league MVP throughout the series.
Kyrie is the #1 PG in the league until somebody comes and takes it from him

Until he does this in the playoffs (and win) without Lebron.
This is kind of silly breh
Lebron and kyrie could play together for 5 more years
We gotta wait for lebron to retire to give kyrie his props?
It's that same line of thinking that could have led to Kobe wanting to do his own thing instead of staying with shaq
Curry can't break dudes down on an island like kyrie
Kyrie is the better midrange shooter
You know this
Curry makes some off the most bullshyt layups you'll ever see. He's probably the best finisher in the League apart from Bron.

GREAT 1 on 1 player but it stops there. Not a good/willing enough playmaker and bad defender.
He has a similar skillset to Steph. Both have elite handles and range, making them damn near impossible to guard. Play up and they'll dance on you, play off and you already know what's coming. Steph obviously has more range, being the best shooter ever and Kyrie has tighter handles, being damn near the best ballhandler ever (definitely in the discussion). But Kyrie also won a 3 pt shootout and Steph has made many a nikka "touch earth." They're also probably top 2 among guards finishing around the basket with ridiculous glass play and ambidexterity. Lotta similarities.
Kyrie is the more clutch player out of the 2 and younger, yet something still seems to be missing. I think it's the playmaking, too often Kyrie looks like he's playing 1 on 5 and that's not gonna win you very many ball games.

He's a great finisher, but kyrie is explosive and finishes through contact better. Steph is better at using his touch and angles
Steph's midrange is money, he just doesn't shoot a lot of them. Kyrie shoots a lot of bricks from midrange when he's offThis is kind of silly breh
