But he really doesnt, I have noticed the NBA ESPN analysts start blaming everyone else but Lebron James when the Cavs lose. Lebron is perfectly fine with this. As a matter of fact notice how he goes hyperactive trying to pad his stats so he can be the guy that looks good in a loss. He is on some but I got me a triple double. Instead of pulling up for a 3 to make up the difference he will settle for a cherry picked lay up late in games when the Cavs are hopelessly behind. He is out there boxing out Tristan Thompson for rebounds and shyt, trying to get his numbers. He learned this during the 2015 finals when the cavs were down two players and he went out there and playing like an individual stat machine to the praise of the media. He has been taking the same approach ever since.
:gucci: what?

What am I lying about with his skillset:heh:

Is he NOT one of the top PG's in the league?

Just because he struggled with a trash team from like 19-22 doesn't mean anything.
He's barely top 10.

:yeshrug:

Never liked Kyrie's game. The only reason he looks as good as he does now is because he's got LBJ scaring the shyt out of defenses and Love drawing every big with sense out of the paint. He may just want to get away from LBJ, but no team with Kyrie as its best player offensive player is going .500. Even in the East.

Kyrie and Neymar (if you follow soccer) will stay at the Cavs and Barcelona respectively.

They are just big named players playing under the shadow of the biggest names in their sports. They just need someone to put an arm around their shoulder and tell them they matter. :mjcry:

Kyrie's +/- with LeBron off the court with all other combinations of players was -120. This was last season.




His comp should not be Kobe, his projected outlook is much more in line with Melo post Denver.

this is stupid. They did the same nonsense with Shaq and Kobe. Kobe is 8 -42 when Shaq doesn't play. Kobe went on to 3 straight finals without Shaq. Please don't bring up Gasol who never won a playoff game before Kobe.

What's sad is most cavs fans understand Kyrie's pain. We know how excited he was to lead Wiggins and Tristan when he signed his extension. Next thing you know he goes from face of the franchise to brons lil brother. And maybe if Bron treated him as close to an equal and made a commitment himself to stay kyrie doesn't have these thoughts. Its one thing to be the best player in the world and it's another thing to be a great leader and get everyone to buy in:francis:

Damn this reminds me of how Griffith treated Gutts in Berserk for all my manga peeps. :wow:
