Post NBA Championship, your thoughts on Kyrie Irving..

[King Jove]

Quite possibly the greatest finisher around the basket at the pg position.

The layups he can make don't make any sense.

it truely is a work of art the angles he can get the ball to get in the hoop over and around defenders.

Been knew Kyrie was nice, but since he wasn't getting to the playoffs, people were sleeping on his game. As much as I like John Wall, the Coli comparisons between them have to stop. Kyrie's a top 3 pg currently, without a doubt.

Wall needs out of DC

 

[Big Boss]

Everybody loves Kyrie now? I don't remember Kyrie being spoken about in the Coli outside of his handles and his health, or lackthereof. Now he hits an epic shot and...

He balled out.

 

[DoubleClutch]

Warriors simply couldn't guard him.

He does push off with that off arm a lot.

I noticed it since duke.

 

[T.he I.nformant]

Let's see if he can play over 70 games in a season.

He doesn't really need to so long as he can come up big in clutch moments during the playoffs.

If I asked you what you would rather have--great performance from your star player during the regular season or postseason--what would you pick? Your answer to this question will let me know what kind of a fan you are and what you value most.

Half the reason you can't take this board seriously. They were just shyttin on him not too long ago. Even saying that he should be traded and that Delly was a better replacement.

I don't know if he's the best point guard...but in a 7 game series, there isn't a single point guard i'd rather have. and that's enough for me to put him at the top. I don't care about anything else.

I like to ask myself if I was starting a team from scratch who would I pick. I would take Westbrook over any PG right now. The thing about kyrie is he is a finisher. However guys like Westbrook don't need the same amount of help around them. For instance, when kd was hurt. The thunder wad a 9th seed and nearly made the playoffs. Replace Westbrook with kyrie and they would have been the 12th seed imo

Kyrie showed all this potential before Lebron got there. This explosion was a direct result of Tyronne Lue and the Cavs throwing out their offense and just letting them ball out like the Warriors.

Like it's been iterated, I think I even said it on here a few times, but I always felt that Kyrie was good enough to sit at the elite pg lunch table with Steph, CP and Russ... This is all just sweet vindication.

And if one more person compares him to some fukking John Wall, I'm gonna lose my shyt...

If John wall had Lebron they would be championship contenders too. John wall had been the best player on a playoff team, can we say the same for kyrie? Now in the last 5 minutes kyrie and Dame are the 2 best pgs. But wall and Westbrook impact every facet of the game.



But he'll I think big o is the best player to touch a basketball, I'm biased towards all around players.

Nope he need for the wiz to trade for cousins. Let's hope the kings are dumb Enuff to let cousins go for Bradley Beal

 

[BlackAchilles]

This looks like his "coming of age" moment in the league, establishing him as a legit star

 

[LV Koopa]

didn't think Kyrie would ever be able to play at a star level consistently. Proved me wrong

 

[Geek Nasty]

He pisses me off because he seems to dribble into high percentage shots, but when he's making them
