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

[kuts]

NO

HES NOT BETTER THAN ANY OF THOSE GUYS I LISTED.

HES A GREAT 1 ON 1 PLAYER
WHO GETS TO ISO ALL DAY.

THOSE DUDES FACE MUCH MORE DEFENSIVE ATTENTION
WHILE LEADING THEIR PLAYOFF TEAMS.



​

Um yeah he is a great one-on-one player and can execute at the highest level which separates him from all of the other guards you listed.

And doesn't one-on-one play garner the most defensive attention? Like you know dude is going to go at you and try and get a shot. Last year Kyrie was seeing multiple defenders.

Also, LeBron would likely become the defacto leader on any squad. Even D Wade allowed LeBron to be the man in Miami so Kyrie not being the "leader" is moot. And while he may not have been the leader he definitely help lead the Cavs to a championship last year to the point people wanted him to be FMVP.

We've seen how Steph performs in the Finals. Westbrook was still raw his first go round, though he still showed heart. The rest havent even been. On the other hand Kyrie displayed excellence.

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 off

Kyrie shoots more midrange shots and he shoots a better percentage

Kyrie also shoots less assisted midrange shots than steph

Kyrie is the better midrange player clearly breh

 

[BillBanneker]

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

Not silly at all, if you want to compare him to guys like lillard, curry, wall at his position. You pretty much have to show and prove as the main guy unless lebron falls off and kyrie takes over.

At the bold isn't that what happened? Execpt they just moved shaq.

I got an interesting question for @houston911 @CHICAGO & the rest of the Coli.

Which gap is closer? The gap between Bron & Durant or the gap between Steph & Kyrie?

 

[010101]

he can get buckets on anyone
he's up there when it comes to 1v1
right now he's got the most eye pleasing game on the big stage

We'll see in a few days

Damn, that's a good question. That's a tough one

I don't think the lebron Durant or steph vs kyrie gap is huge.

This finals will be very interesting.

This finals will be very interesting.

I think the battle between the 3rd options (Klay & Love) will be the X-Factor in this series.

I think the battle between the 3rd options (Klay & Love) will be the X-Factor in this series.

I'm curious about the impact draymond will have if he's guarding love 25 ft from rim

 

[ikbm]

kyrie aint a top 10 player if you encompass all things that make a player great...including defense and playmaking...he's fringe
he's the best 1 on 1 player however...and would be approaching jordan levels of unstoppability if he was like 6'6

I think the battle between the 3rd options (Klay & Love) will be the X-Factor in this series.

not if draymond is guarding him
love aint doing shyt....just like last year.
that concussion saved them, word to @CHICAGO

So kyrie could outplay curry in the next 5 finals, but it doesn't matter cuz he has lebron....

And you don't think that's silly?

 

[LurkMoar]

What does he do better than dame?

They are the same player.

 

[CrimsonTider]

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

Curry finishes just as well as Kyrie

 

[Jparker]

KYRIE IS BETTER THAN
STEPH
RUSS
WALL
CP3
DAME
?




​

Better than Dame and CP3. Better scorer than Wall but will get more assist so I say they're in the same boat.
