If Dallas wins a title will Kyrie be put on the Mt Rushmore of 1B/Robin players alongside Pippen…..?

I think even Pippen's defense gets overrated.I mean, it has to in order for Michael Jordan to not get mistaken for Superman.I remember a rookie Richard Dumas coming off the bench and giving him that work in the '93 Finals.
You can literally say this about EVERY defender ever. There’s always random games or matchups or series where they just get that work from someone unexpected.

McHale with Bird? Kareem with Magic? Wade with Bron? Pau with Kobe? All have multiple rings.

Pollard
Cousy
Heinsohn
Sharman
Jones
Havlicek
Kareem
McHale
Pippen
Kobe
Parker


All have more titles as sidekicks than Kyrie does. Then you have to consider Frazier, Worthy, Dumars, Gasol, Wade, your choice out of Steph/Durant, and probably some others I'm forgetting who have 2 as well.

The crowning in the moment on this site is crazy.

Pippen used to get that work from good wings. Pip was a good defender no question but he’s overrated
A player being a great defender doesn't mean they are not going to get work from a great offensive player:
Look at the #'s Wilt put up against Bill Russell.
Look at the #'s Shaq put up against Defensive Player of the Year Dikembe Mutumbo in that NBA Finals.
Look at the #'s Shaq put up against Defensive Player of the Year Ben Wallace in that NBA Finals.

since people love to throw asterisks around.

I can’t believe some of yall don’t say it’s an asterisk on that one GS title when Kyrie and Love got hurt
You might be right if they beat them in 5 or 6 the next season but if it took them being at full strength to come back from 3-1 down to win in 7 games on a last second shot then beating them in 6 is legit even if they were shorthanded :manny:

You're PPG obsessed, how many times are you going to keep proving that? Do you actually care who the better player is, or just who scored more points in some small sample?

Cousy has a 21-7-10 Finals, a 21-7-9 Finals, a 20-5-11 Finals, a 19-6-8 Finals, a 17-8-13 Finals, and a 17-4-9 Finals on his way to SIX TITLES. Cousy could be the 1A/1B scoring option on any given night AND the best distributor in the league at the same time. But you think he's inferior to Kyrie because Kyrie's scored slightly more points on the way to winning 1 ring?

Same with most of the others on the list - they could score the points while also being the team's best passer, or the best rebounder, or an elite defender. Not just a scorer. Do you seriously believe that Kyrie is going to go down in history at the same level as Cousy, Havlicek, Kareem, Pippen, Kobe, Wade, Durant, etc.?



And notice how ring count suddenly goes out the window again, just like in every other conversation that doesn't involve MJ vs. Bron directly. :dead:

They weren't at "full strength". Mosgov (#2 in points in the 2015 Finals) and Shump (#3 in minutes in the 2015 Finals) got hurt during the season and were non-factors in the 2016 playoffs, then Love got concussed in Game 2 and was nearly useless the rest of the series. Outside of Kyrie, the Cavs were actually just as banged up in 2016 as they were in 2015.
