Kyrie Irving's 2016 NBA playoffs - cemented his talent level as Top 5 at the PG position.

Put some respeck on his name. Fully healthy his talent level is undeniable, add that clutch gene and killer instinct. This along with winning the Olympic MVP a few years ago, proves that kid raises his game to a new level against higher competition. Dude's an absolutely cold blooded killer.

To the point, Cavs essentially played with 2 top 5 NBA players in the playoffs on the court. Uncle Drew was the unspoken hero and gave LBJ, something he always needed - a cold blooded killer on his side.

The sun sets. Legends rise.

Calm down.

Sleep on it, and see if you feel the same in the morning.

Name 4 other PGs with the talent to switch places with him and duplicate let alone surpass what he did in the NBA Playoffs and specifically dominate a back-to-back MVP and a historically great team while feeding off and helping LeBron in all facets of the game.

I'm glad he finally got a stage to showcase his ability - far too many cats on this board were talking nonsense about his game.

nikkas are so quick to put nikkas either greatest of all time like LeBron or even this thread, but a week ago it was LeBron with another failure finals and Kyrie isn't ready for the big time....

We all saw how at times he basically carried the entire team om his back with crazy shotmaking.

If the Cavs have a great season i can see him being an mvp contender. I truly think bron is gonna hand it over to him.

if bron didnt take the ball out his hand in game 5 dude would of scored 60 points

If any position is interchangeable in this era as far as who's the best or Top 5 goes, its the Point Guard position.
Look at how its varied the past 5 years
