Nah, Bron showed him how to win and play meaningful basketball. Kyrie was just a highlight reel on a perennially awful team before Bron came back. The perception of him as a player would be completely different if Bron never came back and won that ring with him.
When your 2nd best player is Tristan Thompson, the guy they pick in the lottery as the number 1 pick is Anthony Bennett (who's out of the league), your running mate is Dion Waiters & you're coached by both Byron Scott and Mr. Potato Head.........you probably aren't playing meaningful basketball, regardless of how good you are. When you consider the factors you really gotta GTFOH with the narrative that LeBron showed him how to play meaningful basketball. I was once misguided and thought that same goofy shyt as well but it's just false.
I remember actually arguing down
@Gil Scott-Heroin &
@Malta on here that Kyle Lowry was a better player than him. Although I fukks with Kyle, it's just not true.
