That was funny BEFORE he won a ring (after all the games the Warriors lost during the regular season last year), because obviously the ring-chasing context still applied. Now that he's won a ring, it doesn't make any sense to make that joke anymore. Same applies to the Warriors gave up 3-1 lead shyt - that was funny all the way up to the Warriors won the next season, and yet still some folk continue to use the joke.

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.
Yeah it’s a hard ass task. I don’t think anyone can say Kyrie is unequivocally not a Top 15 player tho

I can't understand why the Kings didn't resign Tyreke Evans. Yeah we signed George Hill but Reke has been much better so far this season. Reke's shot has improved so much and he's playing much better defensively. He was always capable of being a good defender. Yet we let this guy go for no reason. Twice. The Kings have no go to scorer right now. Im ending this rant brehs.

Tyreke is terrible.

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.

How long are we going to ignore what EVAN FOURNIER is doing ?

22 ppg 54% from the field, 55% from 3, 96% from the free throw line

orlando 6-2


The Magic's shooting as a whole is unsustainable. Aaron Gordon is shooting 57% from 3.

At some point when the Magic's shooting comes back down to earth we'll see what they truly are.

This season has the potential to really damage LeBron's legacy if the Cavs continue down this path.


After 2016, his legacy is solidified.

That said, I do think he's like Kobe in that he's going to play long enough to see himself become the villain. Most greats don't have a story book ending and most don't fade gracefully. Even ending your career in the way Duncan did is rare.

:dead: his legacy is already set in stone. He won our city its first championship in over 50 years. He has nothing left to prove.
