Kyrie not top 15? :laff:
Ayo that’s a hard task to seriously list 15 better, imma try to get in his head for a sec

Bron, KD, Curry, Kawhi, Giannis, Harden, Westbrook - I feel those probably your definites, but I heard Kyries actually been playing defense so he might be better than Curry now, I’ll still leave it tho

So after that, Anthony Davis, Boogie, Embiid (maybe off potential? IDK), maybe KAT? Blake?

IDK it’s 1:30 and I can’t think too deep rn. But I feel Kyrie probably a top 4 PG, so he should be top 15. I feel dudes list is gonna be based heavy on potential type players and IDK about all that tbh. Like you got a lot of high potential types with ya Bens, Monks, DSJs and et cetera, but Kyrie got a top 5 offensive skill set and it at least seems like Boston is holding him accountable for system ball and defense.

I'm not saying these guys are all better than Kyrie but if you wanted to make a list it'd be: Bron, KD, Curry, Kawhi, Giannis, Harden, Westbrook, Davis...Cousins, Wall, Lillard, Klay, Griffin, Draymond, Derozan...but I think it's a stretch. Imo he's in the 9-12 range ( The first 8 players I mentioned I think are all hands down better. Embiid, Simmons, Towns, and shyt maybe even Wiggins are creeping) into that 15.

Kyrie not top 15? :laff:

I have 13 players ahead of Kyrie:

Lebron
Durant
Leonard
Curry
Davis
Wall
George
Paul
Giannis
Harden
Westbrook
Lillard
Griffin

Players that some people would put on Kyrie's level:
Lowry
Cousins
Butler
I.Thomas
K.Thompson
Derozen


Havn't put in enough work:

Embiid
Porzingis
Towns
Simmons

I'd have no problem if you put Kyrie in the top 15,but I'd probably take Thompson and Cousins over him.You could also put Kyrie ahead of Griffin,Lillard and Paul.I guess I have to retract my statement.Kyrie is in the 11-18 range.Winning 1 or 2 rds in the playoffs with boston would really solidify his position as a top 12 player.

Kyrie Irving has his team 1st in the Eastern Conference right now. Lebron's team is out of the playoffs.

If LeBron is still in your top 5 then so is Kyrie.

LeBron stans, y'all.

Couldn't even wait until he finished his FIRST game on a different team before posting this filth. :dead:

I made this post during the 3rd quarter of the first game of the season....You really went back 7 games to dig this post up ?.....I just made a post stating that Kyrie is in the 11-18 range of best players in the league.Which means I think Kyrie is a elite player.

If this continues and Kyrie leads the Celtics to the #1 overall seed in the East will you admit he's a top 10 player? Or is there nothing he can do to prove your dumb ass wrong?

I.Thomas led boston to a #1 seed with better numbers than Kyrie is putting up,and he's not in my top 15..Kyrie moving up/down on my list will depend on how well he.and some of the other elite players perform during the postseason(Wall,Giannis,Paul,George,etc..).I currently have Kyrie in the 11-18 range

BTW:Your name calling is very childish,and unnecessary.But I won't stoop to your level.

He's been better...

for the last week :mjgrin:

Wall's trying to do way too much and looking off nikkas playing hero ball. It's reminding me of 2015-2016 season. He's not leading.
Idk man, there's some obvious flaws in his game that he needs to address. He seemingly refuses to play defense (which is not exclusive to this season: there were stretches in the post season last year where defense was clearly not his priority) and he doesn't appear comfortable accepting that Otto and Beal really need be taking more shots than him per game.

Even though this is completely arbitrary, I would say just looking at this season..

Currently better than Kyrie:
Durant
Curry
Lebron
Giannis
Kawhi
AD
Russ
Harden
Cousins
Towns?

Guys he's probably around the same level as:
Wall
PG13
Blake
Lowry
Embiid
Porzingis
Butler
Lillard
