Blah. Numbers are circumstantial and Kyrie is a champion btw. There is no SKILL that Dame possesses that's superior to Kyrie's.SCORE MORE PTS,
AVERAGE MORE ASSISTS
LEAD HIS TEAMS TO MORE WINS.
Kyrie Irving vs. Damian Lillard
- Thread starter ISO
- Start date
Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD
<--- Cleveland Browns winning that many, boi!
How about the skill to actually lead a team and not have them become better after you leave?
Kyrie is more skilled and he has a ring
DAME WOULD HAVE WON MUTIPLE
RINGS WITH BRON.

Nets/Giants/Yankees
DAME WOULD HAVE WON MUTIPLE
RINGS WITH BRON.
Maybe
maybe notDame been the guy on his team for awhile. Would Dame wanna take a back seat to Bron for long? Didn't him and Aldridge have some issues.
Dame isn't a #1 on a championship team and I doubt he feels that way.
Kyrie isn't either. They both great and basically comes down to preference.
Truth is Kyrie has a ring and he's more skilled. He went at Curry who Dame gets sonned by.

CURRY DOESNT GUARD DAME.

Skill for skill they are pretty even. I think Kyrie has the wetter, more natural j. Kyrie is also a better finisher with better handles...
Neither one are elite shot creators for others but I'd probably give Dame the edge on that one. Dame has deeper range 50% of today's NBA can hit from 35 feet. I think Kyrie is the better scorer at all levels of the floor. Neither one are worth a damn on defense but Dame is really unimpressive on that end...
Dame seems to be the better leader and I'd rather have him on my team. Unproblematic, guys like playing with him, and he doesn't belittle or alienate coaches. It would be one thing if Kyrie had this effect on teammates and coaches and his team won big, but they don't. As a #1 he's:
•played in only 20 games, team was better without him, Nets were 8-12 with him, 27-25 without him...
•got backdoor swept by a Bucks team that got backdoored in the very next round, while he shot 30.1% (!) from the field and 18.5% (!!) from three in the four games they lost...
•his most impressive season to me was the first Boston year, but again that team was better without him...
•led the Cavs to 27.7 wins/year his first 3 years (pre-LeBron)...
We obviously know he can be the secomd best player on a champion, but your #1 better be All-Time great...
I dont want this to take away from Dame's own playoff misfires, and since Aldridge left, he's only guided Portland to 45.2 wins/year---->Dame isn't some major winning player who just tears thru people or wins at a high level consistently. He’s only been past the 1st Rd in 2/4 playoffs without Aldridge, getting ready to be 2/5...
But he seems a better leader and I think he could be the #2 on a champion. Overall, they are pretty equal, I'd give a slight edge to Dame...

You the bro, @murksiderock, but fukk all that. Dame ain't leading shyt; nikkas only gassing him because of their perception of his stoic, man's man demeanour they think he's got going on. And all of this is long after any of his playoff failures are sitting at the forefront of the discussion.
Kyrie is better. Period.

Both are all star talent but Kyrie didn’t go crying to media to be an all star. Dame was basically crying on national tv about not being an all star

Talent & skill level, Kyrie's up there with
anybody who ever picked up a basketball.
Just seems as if he only halfway gives a
fukk most of the time.He reminds me of
Hulk at the end of the first Avengers flick.
Like it has to be set up to unleash him at
the perfect time.His mood swings make
him a wildcard.Couldn't be my Captain
America or Iron Man.I think Dame's
consistently more competitive.

Dame is the better individual player right now. I think Skill set wise they are pretty similar. Dame has more range, but Dame is also physically stronger than Kyrie which helps him endure a full NBA season.
Both Kyrie and Steph suffer from being terribly undersized so it’s common to see NBA players dominate them physically.
