Kyrie Iriving will be the 2017-18 NBA MVP

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

You argued that about threads before and I proved you decisively wrong. I'm not going to count up 3000 posts, but you wrong there too.

I was right with those threads I referenced. Check the tape.

Talking about self-deception, then aggrandizing yourself in the third person?

It was satire. I'm poking fun at how I'm perceived on this board, hell, you just said in your post above "Classic Gil, once again proving that he is impervious to all opinion that originates outside of Gil himself. ". Smarten up.

I won't say Kyrie's my personal MVP favorite or anything but I will say it is hilarious to see all the Bron Stans who were shytting on Kyrie for wanting to leave Cleveland because "He's a selfish ball-hogging ISO stat-padder who can't play defense or win anything on his own" now that he's leading his new, young team to the best record in the NBA and playing the best defense of his career they're on their "W-w-w-wwell his STATS are trash compared to last year tho!!11!11"

Guess what: that's what happens when you make a concerted effort to play real defense every game instead of being a turnstile for 6 months straight then trying to "Flip the switch" in June; your offensive stats drop due to the effort and attention your devoting to defensive play. Bron's stats would be dropping just like Kyrie's are now if he'd make any attempt to be anything but a roaming matador like he has been every year since 2014.

What a stupid ass take. Yeah his defense is why he went 0-7 from 3 today and was minus 2 on the floor

Bron does not have a competitive spirit on the defensive end, period

Heat’s LeBron James leads NBA all-defensive team

Palmer: LeBron James for DPOY

LeBron James 'highly upset' that he's never won Defensive Player of the Year

All I read was buttals

What does that even mean? You don't like rebuttals? Every argument against your completely evidence-less points is now a "buttal"?

Stop equating stats w/ defense...it's an attitude

What are you even talking about? I don't equate stats with defense - that's the first time in this whole conversation that I posted a defensive stat.

But you can't get 2 steals and 1 block a game "without trying" on defense. You can't name 1 player in NBA history who did that without trying.

You get it. Not to mention his surface #s are also down because he's handling the ball less - you know playing within a system.

Imagine how good the Celtics will be when Kyrie actually starts playing well.

He had an off-night, it happens. He's been balling in pretty much every game. Pay attention.

Stop trolling. He's been mediocre for a #1 option as offensively gifted as he is. .

I think his TS% is under 55% after tonight which would be below League average.

Kyrie's balling in pretty much every game but Harden's so inconsistent.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Stop trolling.

That's all you ever do. You haven't even been watching the games. It's obvious.

everything is a eye test to you? Stats don't matter?

I usually get accused of posting too many stat-related arguments. I can usually tell when someone is just posting stats without watching the games.

100% truth.

LeBron has been playing for stats the last few years which is why his offensive numbers have stayed high but his defense has become a joke.

He's one of the major reasons the Cavs have a historically bad defense this year.

you really gonna come in here and question whether playing hard on defense can effect your play on offense?

have you literally never played a sport?

spoken like a nerd who never played organized basketball.

Kyrie has 2 things going for him right now: narrative and media attention

It's between him and Harden
