[GOAT]

Also played with Lebron

Okay? Most all time greats have played with great players. Doesn't make their accomplishments any less impressive. Kyrie outplayed a unanimous MVP in a Finals series and hit the championship winning shot. Averaged 27/4/4 on 47% FG and 40% three on the biggest stage at 24 years old. Dropped 41 points on 71% in an elimination Finals game. You can try to discredit these accomplishments all you want, but the world witnessed it while all we have are hypotheticals with Dame. "But...but....what if Dame played with Lebron?". I'm going to bet he doesn't accomplish what Kyrie did. Especially considering the numbers are already in Kyrie's favor in the regular season if we take minutes played and efficiency into consideration.

When we had Kyrie and no Lebron we were picking top 4 in the drafts....Dame has been taking his teams to the playoffs in the West.

Kyrie was 21 years old when Lebron came. Dame was leading a mediocre college team at that age. Stop it.

Dame was leading though just like he’s led his team to the playoffs again this season

 

[GOAT]

Dame was leading though just like he’s led his team to the playoffs again this season

And Kyrie led his team to a better record this year with less continuity and much younger players.

Dame didn't even become the #1 option on his team until his 4th year when he was 25, you know the same age Kyrie was up until like 3 weeks ago

Playing in the East

It's crazy how these dudes hold Kyrie to a completely different standard than these PG's who are supposed to be better than him like Wall & Lillard

Take a look at the Celtics record against the West

Dame 26.9pt 6.6ast

Kyrie 24.4pt 5.1ast

And while Dame is older he does seem to be a bit more durable and more of a leader on his teams.

Dame plays almost 5 more minutes a game.

PER 36:
Kyrie: 27.3 pts 5.7 asts
Dame: 26.5 pts 6.5 asts

And you also left out the fact that Kyrie shoots 5% higher from both the field and three point line.

One of the greatest abilities is availability
