Kyrie's not top 10. I don't even know what the argument could be. I think everyone would take Lillard over him and Lillard is in the 10-15 range.
I bet you still think Kyrie is better than Steph
Damien Lillard isn't better than him. I actually would take him over Steph and when i called it i was proven correct so i don't know what the argument is at this point.
Kevin Durant is the guy that makes "all the difference in the world" for that team and when it comes to big games I'm have more respect for Klay than i do Steph.
This is just ridiculous. Steph is doing all time great shit. Has Kyrie even ever made it past the All NBA 3rd team yet?
Has Steph Curry ever been as impressive as Kyrie Irving when it actually mattered?
Has Steph Curry ever been in the MVP conversation in an NBA finals series?
Steph Curry and his scary ass mates kissed Durant's ass so that they would never have face him (and probably lose) in a series that mattered.
That will be his and their legacies.
Steph won a ring as the MVP and best player on his team. It’s pathetic you think Finals MVP, something Kyrie has never won either, is a knock on him. I just can’t take you seriously when you say Kyrie is better than Steph. I don’t even want to bother posting their resumes or current stats. All I can say is these type of denials of obvious truisms is why people get frustrated talking to you about stuff. It’s ok to say “I was wrong on that”
You know what is stupid and frustrating. I will tell you what. How the argument got flipped into something that i didn't say and frankly you do it quite a bit whenever you are wrong about something.
I originally stated that if they were matched up in an NBA finals Kyrie would get the best of him. You and quite frankly a number of others thought that i was "crazy" "stupid" and frankly "wrong" as usual.
Well when they matched up he did destroy him. Rather than simply move on from it bexause you were wrong you began to change it into something that wasn't part of the original discussion i.e. "who has had the better career" "who has more regular season MVPs" "First Team All NBA showings". It also became a "short sample size discussion" as if Somehow the biggest series and games that either were ever going to play in were somehow equivalent to a preseason game in Oct.
You just couldn't seem to accept and since then you have continued to pepper me with it as you did before as if I'm completely out of line for it yet anyone with a functioning brain can see that I'm not.
In fact Jeff Van Gundy "respected basketball guy" and a number of others have thought the exact same thing.
In your desperation to always be right and seem like an authority you even took to inventing things such as "Curry was guarding Irving most of the game" in the following series when frankly he wasn't. I didn't make it much of an issue because it was pointless.
You even start making up stuff about the unimportance of "checking one another" but anyone that actually knows anything about knows that this is the first thing that you check for. Its not a matchup unless they are you know matched up.
Once they placed Klay on him (because it was obvious that world class Steph wantef nothing to do with him) I was done with it but you weren't. Had to be right so you began using terms like "dominating" when it was clear that the numbers suggested otherwise. Numbers weren't relevant anyway since Curry wasn't guarding him.
As far as others "getting frustrated" that argument is tired and frankly old. There are too many biases that exist on here anyway so actually expecting people to be candid and honest about most things is a futile and unrealistic exercise.
