The difference between Kyrie and Dame is, Kyrie has a greater skillset to generate and maximize runs down the stretch when the game slows down, whereas Dame is somewhat limited in what he can do when defenses zone in on him. Dame's more of an opportunistic scorer, whereas Kyrie can flick the switch on any possession. That's where he separates himself from Dame, otherwise, they mirror each other or have minimal strengths over the other.
Kyrie's ball handling is something else and he has better touch around the basket.

Game 5-6 of the cavs title kyrie was isolating and doing some incredible stuff. Dame isn't as flashy but that doesn't mean his offense isn't comparable overall

On the court, I like Kyrie's game slightly better (style wise) but i'd take Damian over him any day.
I dont know if that makes sense. :manny:
My problem with Kyrie is dude is the annoying type of weird to me. He seems like he's a woman who's on his period for two whole weeks at times.

As a Kyrie Stan, Lillard is better right now, not more talented but he’s better, more available, better leader, brings it night to night more. If Durant comes back Kyrie will get another ring though so Dame should leave.

:francis: that's the best talent to have

:francis: kyrie ever got in a zone like this ever¿

Kyrie a weird player. He’s one of the greatest offensive talents ever but never has had the blackout games the 50-60 point runs....averaging 40 for a couple of weeks.....the Kobe shyt. Same wit his boy KD actually:ohhh:

The one underrated reason of why it seems only certain guys can do it and other guys who should have the ability can’t is durability. MJ was durable, Kobe was durable, Harden is durable, Dame is durable.

We know Kyrie can do this shyt if he really wanted this nikka just dropped 54 on 82%. Son could have had 85 if he kept going
