Literally the same guy. Kyrie has more flash but in both offense and defense, same guy...
We've seen Dame lead a team to the playoffs every year in the tougher conference and be a #1 on a team that made the conference finals. That holds weight, and his teammates have always respected him...
Kyrie was an MVP candidate two years ago before getting hurt and played a large part in Boston getting the 1 seed. Last year they backtracked behind him as a leader, this year he's gonna be a mid-to-low seed again...
Dame has looked AWFUL playoff after playoff, only exception being last year 1st Round. You get the sense he's afraid of the moment...

Just haven't seen it....
