You confuse me. Beyond the stats, look at both sides of the court.
Kyrie is my favorite player to watch in the league. But no way did he have the overall impact Lebron had all over the court for an entire series
Kyries overall impact on the series was greater than LeBron fom the perspective of what we believed we'd get to what we actually received.
Going into the finals everyone knew LeBron is the best 2 way player on the court. LeBron will get his stats regardless. Going into the finals everyone said Kyrie would be a defensive liability and would get cooked by Curry.
Not only was Kyrie not a defensive liability, he played great defense vs curry. Only players to take advantage of his was Liv in the first 2 games and Klay from a stretch because of there height.
Look we know Bron will get his numbers. But when it came to the most impactful buckets Kyrie was getting them. You want to talk about defensive impact but LeBron wasn't even the most impactful defensive player in the series. That was Tristan hands down. Dude shut down curry on every switch.
Despite the numbers Kyrie had a bigger offensive impact on the game than LeBron. LeBron had a greater defensive impact as a team defender but when it comes to expectations Kyries exceeded his defensive impact by leaps and bounds. A dude who was supposed to be a defensive liability turned into a plus defender the best offense and the best offensive players in the league while also going insane offensively. That's why he should've been finals MVP IMO. It's not like I'm mad Bron got it cause he clearly also deserved it being the best player out there, but I feel like the real difference in the series was Kyrie outperforming the MVP.
