Bledsoe just came off a 20,6,4 season,and hes gotten better every year. And he defends really well,hes definetly top 10.

I like Lillard as well,just feel that Kyrie getting a ring,puts him over Millard for now. And Kyrie finishing ability is just insane.
We haven't gotten an opportunity to see Bledsoe on a big stage/playoff stage, and he can't even finish regular seasons though. Availability has to be a HUGE part of the equation (to be fair, it's what had me docking Kyrie points in the past).

Time gonna come for CP3 to exit the top 5 convo sooner than y'all wanna realize.

Chef
Sabo
Lilliard
Kyrie( can honestly switch the 2 of them depending on preference)
Cp3

Chris Paul ain't a winner no matter how y'all look at it. He's pretty much had great squads or good squads since NO and really doesn't get far.

After the way he played these playoffs there's no choice but to raise him up a little in the ranks:

1. Stephen Curry (just about)
2. Russell Westbrook
3. Chris Paul (still the best true point guard)
4. Kyrie Irving
5. Kyle Lowry (the real GOAT)

1a. Sabo
1b. Curry

I think Warriors win if Sabo replaces Curry on the Warriors. Sabo has more heart and he would have Klay and Draymond.

2a. Lilliard
2b. Kyrie

Cavs in the same position if you exchange Kyrie for Lillard. Lillard is a hair better than Kyrie right now but Kyrie will prove he is better in the upcoming season.

Huge gap.

Everyone else.

KYRIE IS A TOP 10 SCORING TALENT IN THE NBA.

HES NOT A TOP 10 PG.

HES A shytTY DEFENDER,
shytTY PASSER

HAS TUNNEL VISION
shytTY SHOT SELECTION
AND LOW BB IQ.

AT THE END OF THE 3RD QUARTER
THIS FOOL TOOK A SHOT WITH 14 SECONDS ON THE CLOCK
ALLOWING GS TO GET THE REBOUND
AND TAKE THE LEAD BEFORE THE BUZZER SOUNDED.

AFTER HE HIT THAT CLUTCH 3
AND CURRY MISSED HIS 3
BASICALLY SEALING THE GAME
:mindblown:THIS FOOL TRIED TO GO COAST TO COAST
GOT STRIPPED AT THE BASKET
AND LUCKILY GOT THE BALL BACK.

HE HAS THE LUXURY OF PLAYING WITH A TOP 10 PG TALENT
IN LEBRON JAMES.

HES AN UNDERSIZED 2 WHO CAN SCORE AT ELITE LEVELS
WHEN NOT BURDENED WITH RUNNING THE TEAM LIKE YOU KNOW...
AN ACTUAL PG.

ALL THIS TOP 5 shyt IS FICKLE AND LAUGHABLE.
:devil:
:evil:


All this "actual PG" shyt reminds me of the "Real hip hop" crowd. It's a new age of scoring point guards you gotta accept it.

There isn't a huge gap and then Chris Paul. No

Westbrook, Wall and Rose, before injury, were scorers and distributers.

Kyrie can distribute though. I've seen him have games with 25 and 9 its just that with the team he's on, scoring is more of a priority than distributing because of Lebron's presence. Doesn't mean he's not a "real PG".

EDIT: And statistically speaking Kyrie has had one of the best assist to TO ratios over the past few years. I think its around 2:1 which is a mark of a good distributor.

great playoff run but i would still take

steph
westbrook
cp3
lowry
lillard
maybe john wall

all over kyrie. he's one of the best scorers out there but he's too much of an iso player/ball stopper from what i've seen. his role in cleveland with lebron is perfect for him and hides his deficiencies.

KYRIE GOT 21 DOUBLE DIGIT ASSIST GAMES IN HIS WHOLE CAREER.
THAT AINT GOT shyt TO DO WITH BRON.

HES A ONE DIMENSIONAL PLAYER
WITH ELITE SCORING TALENT.

CALLING HIM A TOP 5 PG IS DISRESPECTFUL TO THE GAME.

And double digit assist games have nothing to do with whether he's a top 5 point guard in the league. I don't expect anyone to agree with me right now. It's gonna take time for this argument to be settled.

nikkas overrate the hell out of Chris Paul... Kyrie 4th after Westbrook, Curry, and Lillard imo...

Everytime I watch Chris Paul I'm disappointed and his team underachieves every year in the playoffs

I don't think Chris Paul is overrated, bruh is a beast at the PG position. I think his biggest problem, and it might be his fault, is that his teams are typically traditional ie one-dimensional. Paul runs the show and everyone else plays their role. They don't really have all around players like GS to switch things up so if you contain Paul they have a hard time making it work. Blake has developed nicely but dude isn't really that good at playmaking imo. His handles are suspect and his decision making is too slow to be the featured guy without Paul. Jordan can't shoot or anything else on offense besides dunk. Reddikk is just catch and shoot. Crawford almost has to be a 6th man bc of the way he plays...
