The Official Off-Season NBA Thread

PG has a crafty handle for his size, but obviously he's no Kyrie, can't even argue that.

Kyrie is a fancier finisher but PG is a better finisher simply based on size and strength. And even if we compare Kyrie to other guards, his "unique ability" doesn't seem to grant him that much more of an advantage in paint scoring.

And he's just as good of a scorer as Kyrie. Can score in all the same ways and is more efficient too depending on the year.

So he's only really outclassed in the handles division of the game, but if we start getting into the rest of the game Kyrie either is marginally better or doesn't even come close, like on defense, or in rebounding.

So I'm wondering how someone who isn't even definitively better than Playoff P can be the most skilled ever?

BPG got a top 3 MVP finish with Westbrick as his teammate. That’s a serious feat.

Was that the year he shot 2-16 in game 7 or when Dame 50 pieced him?

Probably both. Regular season award though

These numbers don't support me saying Kyrie is marginally better than or below PG in almost every statistic?
FG% the only part that looks bad until you look at overall efficiency metrics. Most skilled ever aint impressing right now.

Ain't nothing more annoying than someone that always ******* up trying to spit knowledge after 1 min of realization.

If I was Daniel Gifford I’d be pissed. The wizards don’t wanna see him shine because they wanna resign him on the low

They already re-signed him

5 assists the most surprising part of this Tatum game

 

[WASHED KING]

We wanna talk about Paul George being better than someone, let's talk about him in relation to apparently the most skilled player of all time, Kyrie Irving

What makes Kyrie Irving more skilled than Paul George?

Not this Kyrie skill narrative again.

 

[703 hwy]

Tatum bum *** bout to have a 50 piece. Wizards are disgraceful

 

[king j]

Not this Kyrie skill narrative again.

Kyrie not even more skilled than CP3

 

[HOU$TON]

Kyrie not even more skilled than CP3

I agree 100%

Don’t know where kyrie being the most skilled even came from.

 

[Blue Mamba]

Switch Kyrie for CP3 and the Suns don’t make the Finals

Switch Kyrie for CP3 and the Suns don’t make the Finals

I get what you are saying but they are two different players so this in and of itself isn’t necessarily knock on Kyrie. They both bring different things to the table. Switch CP3 with Kyrie in 2016 and they don’t beat the Cavs.

I come in peace.
