He just getting accolades because he's likeable and avg'd 30.
Klay and Dray make more, they SHOULD do the heavy lifting.
He still playing with house money though. Tell me you thought light bright young spice was gonna be anywhere NEAR a back to back MVP and NBA Champ...you can't.
Nobody thought (nor should they STILL think) his ceiling was as high as Kyrie's. That J flame, handles ain't elite but MUCH better than when he came in the league and he's playing with GREAT teammates.
I don't see him as a fraud, he's an overachiever...was in college, is in the pros. Series DID exploit a few of his weaknesses (marginal bball IQ outside of scoring, avg/below avg defender, trouble getting his shot off when he's muscled). He should and likely will work on those things over the summer.
He DOES play with apathy though. He gives off this aura of 'rich-kid-who-only-half-way-cares-about-basketball' vibe on the court. I was actually happy to see him throw the mouthpiece...actually showed he cared about it for a sec.
LMAO at the link up tho...he SHOULD have thrown an oop.

You CANNOT take the credit without being willing to take the CRITICISM. That's NOT the way it works.
>He just getting accolades because he's likeable and avg'd >30.
LMAO @ "likeable"
He's the two-time MVP. He is held to a higher standard now because that's what happens when you get the CREDIT.
>Klay and Dray make more, they SHOULD do the heavy lifting.
More than the MVP!?!?!?
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
>He still playing with house money though. Tell me you thought >light bright young spice was gonna be anywhere NEAR a back to >back MVP and NBA Champ...you can't.
That isn't the way it works, idiot
Once you get the praise, you have to wear the burden.
Nobody thought Jordan would be as good as he was, either.
And expectations when you're wrong make it HARDER for you, not easier. Being able to just grow on your own without the spotlight arguably makes it easier.
Lebron had the burden of the league from TOO EARLY.

He's 28. He is what he is at this point.

I criticized him IN my post. Nowhere did I say he was above criticism.
>LMAO @ "likeable" > >He's the two-time MVP. He is held to a higher standard now >because that's what happens when you get the CREDIT.
He's the two time REGULAR SEASON MVP. He hasn't won anything in the playoffs. His standard can be high because of where he is now. But he wasn't expected to be anywhere near where he is now.
>More than the MVP!?!?!? > >BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
I was being facetious with the "his station on the team" because Basa BEEN saying Curry wasn't that tight until Klay came along and he recently pointed out Klay and Dray do the heavy lifting. So relatively, based on their salaries, that's actually appropriate. It was a joke dickhead.
>That isn't the way it works, idiot > >Once you get the praise, you have to wear the burden.
And he does and is. Where did I say he doesn't deserve blame moron?
>Nobody thought Jordan would be as good as he was, either.
And?
>And expectations when you're wrong make it HARDER for you, >not easier. Being able to just grow on your own without >the spotlight arguably makes it easier.
Expectations when you're wrong make it harder for you? Huh? Who was wrong and how was it harder for them? I do agree that being able to develop away from the spotlight might make that journey easier though.
>Lebron had the burden of the league from TOO EARLY.
And everybody EXPECTED LeBron to be an MVP at some point. Multiple times even. NOBODY expected that for Curry. He overachieved. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding expectation. And I'd say given their natural talents, getting from point A to point B SHOULD have been easier for LeBron.
If I'm considering between two players, who'll make the bigger impact in the NBA and one is 6'8", 265lbs with tons of natural athletic ability and high bball IQ vs a 6'3", 175lbs, skinny perimeter shooter with limited athletic ability and marginal handles...I'm gonna go with the former.
31. "you think i want it that way? " In response to Reply # 22
i LOVE that i've made kyrie completely inaccessible to most posters on this board. he can't become community property like steph because most of y'all have shit on kyrie at some point out of pure spite...either because of being a cav, being a dukie or just a nigga i support. it's the same with klay. people can't even step back and appreciate what klay has become, because they wanna shit on him so bad, because they MAD i called that he'd be a great player.
so, please, keep laughing...i'mma win either way.
you will be thanking God steph got one title in a couple of years. watch.
Kyrie is in the perfect situation where all he really has to do is what he's borderline great at.....get buckets. That's it. Lebron got everything else, though Kyrie trying harder on defense is encouraging too.
If there was a one on one tournament in the league, Kyrie would be one of the favorites. He can score, and that's all he's gotta do as long as prime Lebron is on the team. Just enjoy it for what it is. No, he's not better than Isiah or Curry. No he's not the best PG in the league(he's not even really a PG). He's shining in the role he plays for his team, and that's really all that matters. I'm enjoying it for what it is.
45. "so? Have I ever compared MCW to Kyrie?" In response to Reply # 39 Sun Jun-26-16 06:15 PM by DJR
I'm not talking shit on MCW being better than Tyus Jones or Austin Rivers or starting a Tyler Ennis vs. Tyus Jones agenda(maybe I should...might be fun) because it doesnt matter.
MCW has already overachieved on what he was supposed to be by winning rookie of the year. He came off the bench as a freshman and was picked 11(?) and has never been compared to Kyrie.
I dont think I'm giving Kyrie backhanded compliments. You take it that way because you want him to be the best player in the league(mentiononing Kobe, Isiah, Curry....cmon) and want to crown him as more than what he is. He is what he is. Great scorer, All Star level player(not this year, but that's injury/circumstance), who just balled out in the finals and made the winning shot in game 7! Nothing wrong with enjoying that for what it is, because it is major. The extra shit isnt necessary. It is fun though. Enjoy, I'm just not buying a lot of it.

Yes, Kyrie>Williams, I do recall my L there. Klay, Love, Jason Thompson, McLemore, all those are ones we agreed on. I don't recall too many other specific player vs player disputes or agendas.
Any player anyone has ever cysed>Anthony Bennett.

none of the dudes frying kyrie (at that age and with injuries no less) for that shit can sit here and make excuses when their semi-stars are missing the playoffs with shitty rosters. imagine the plea copping for boogie and other nut ass losers if not that time period. kyrie was fried for our sins.
And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
38. "All that assumes good teams/Front offices" In response to Reply # 36
You can try to blame Melo's questionable decisions for some of that(signing that first extension rather than getting himself to be a FA in 2010 and superteaming with Lebron, getting traded to NY rather than waiting and signing, re-signing in NY) but none of that has anything to do with him as an actual basketball player. His career decisions are really a seperate argument.
He hasnt had a lot to play with in his career. I believe he has had 4 seasons with an all star teammate(Iverson, Billups, Amare(Melo got traded to them that very season and Amare's body fell apart weeks later), and Chandler(same, and......cmon, he's a role player). You cant objectively point to ONE of his teams as being loaded with talent and underachieving due to Melo's play.

1. You don't get much pu$$y. At least not on the reg and nothing notable. You huffing and puffing for your boy so much it's obvious you have too much time on your hands at best and at worst you ain't left the basement in weeks.
2. Either OE is an alias of yours or that dude is desperate for your acceptance. If it's the latter, it may be a good opportunity to get out of the house. He's down to meet I'm sure.
3. You mad insecure about your Duke love. Like, deep down you feel like a sellout. You aren't trying to convince anyone as much as you are trying to convince yourself. Kind of sad really.
4. You wish you were one of those lily white girls on that boat. Badly.
5. Other members of oks are some bitches. Man, your boy Klay played like ass cheeks and his usual soft self. But you have so many agendas you win either way and these fools don't call you on it.
6. You think more about kyrie than is considered healthy. Go for a run, get some sun, and some perspective...
I mean, I could go on but sh!t writes itself.
Enjoy the win, get a grip on real life.
That was a helluva block. You are literally the only person who sees this clip and makes it about kyrie...

I bet you were the one who wrote that MTO headline talking about some "NO BLACK GIRLS" tryna OJ my dude because you KNOW nothing you say about LeBron, whether it be LeRobot, LeBallhog, or LeBronze will stick. You gotta go to Neo-Kobe because he's the "vulnerable" one now, because he just made THE WORLD mad by hitting a game-sealing 3 pointer with less than a minute left over the "Purer PG" and Unanimous MVP.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE
13 years and you still mad
and now Kyrie will be the funnel.
Kobe called it: The Cavs' lightning rod will be Kyrie Irving from here on out.
3 titles, 3 Finals MVPs, 4 regular season MVPs and counting, historic comeback Finals win against historic team for a team that had never won a title, in a city that hadn't won a title in over 5 decades, in a game 7 on the ROAD... LeBron James don't have to say shit anymore.
Now the hate will be directed to Kyrie.
This is a losing battle. Don't end up like POOPINCHICAGO and catch more long term Ls

when kyrie first got back and lit john wall's ass up in DC, i ain't say a damn word. lebron caused a stir because he said ky was the best PG and was more than an all-star...he said he had MVP talent.
i ain't say a word. RBO was waiting for it. not a word.
RBO kept talking that brandon knight shit while ky was out. not a word from me.
i kept saying "i want everyone to stay healthy and we'll see what's what."
it ain't my fault i stuck to what i said and y'all mad. ain't like i partied about him beast-fucking reggie or teague or kyle. i kept quiet ALL YEAR.
we have reached the "ya'll just need some shit to say" stage of this reaping and i'm perfectly fine with that. it's hilarious.

Kyrie's first two years were very promising. Year 3 he was supposed to make the jump to an elite player and didnt quite do it.....and Basa signed off midseason. Year 4 Kyrie got LeBron, and he's back!
LOL....cmon. I enjoy his posts quite a bit, though many of them I dont take serious, and am glad he's back. But he bounced at a rough time....it is what it is.

Yeah, that's what you say. The injury wasnt that serious, and he got hurt every season since Duke. His 2015 playoffs injury was more serious than any of them and you didnt bounce. Cmon.
>kyrie better than every 'cuse player ever. so is grant hill.
LOL. You've been waiting so long to talk shit on that front. Bing and Melo have both achieved more in the NBA than Hill/Kyrie as individual players if you're being objective.

that injury was so serious there was a Kyrie Knee Watch on twitter. He said he heard something pop and the trainers legit didn't know until the MRI.
yeah, he got hurt every season since Duke...he also became FIBA MVP, USA BASKTEBALL ATHLETE OF YEAR, ROY, AS MVP, ROOKIE GAME MVP, ALL-NBA, 3-time ALL-STAR and AN NBA CHAMP since then. damn, he crammed in a lot of shit between all those injuries. more shit than every 'cuse nigga COMBINED.

i'm actually gon dip for the rest of the summer after the stories about the cavs title dies down in the next week or two. so, you have that to look forward to.
as of now, just be prepped for me making threads shitting on steph and cysing ky.

Exhibition games are what they are. Partying on injuries is wack though, no question. Glad that one was no big deal, and glad he's back 100 % from the playoffs injury. I was legit bummed out at that one.
>i'm actually gon dip for the rest of the summer after the >stories about the cavs title dies down in the next week or >two. so, you have that to look forward to.
Cool, enjoy the summer. Not looking forward to you or anyone else bouncing.....I can clown when you bounced and still enjoy your posts at the same time cant I?
>as of now, just be prepped for me making threads shitting on >steph and cysing ky.
Do you. I cant really buy at this point, but do you.
what takes it to an epic level of mad-making is that our respective 'gendas coalesced brilliantly. So, not only are they mad at the ky/bron/doc cavs 'gendas individually - but now they have to deal with the coalescing of the factions - which guarantees a miserable board existence for the Hurt Lockers for years to come.
73. "I'm not sure why you'd say that. " In response to Reply # 70
The lazy bounce pass from Curry slowed up Iggy, allowing JR to turn around and slow him up even more, which then allowed Bron to be a superhero and block the shot.
If the lob was thrown at the right time it goes right over JR, Iggy catches it without ever slowing down and Bron wouldn't have been anywhere near close to stopping it even with a foul.
76. "Man this is OKS. That's what we do. " In response to Reply # 75
And no, that bounce pass slowed Iggy's momentum allowing JR and then Bron to stop him from scoring. Simple as that. That's what happened, it's right there in the video.
A properly thrown lob takes his momentum straight to the rim without him sowing down at all.
77. "Bron closed too quickly on that layup..." In response to Reply # 65 Tue Jun-28-16 01:09 PM by Creole
He'd have snatched that oop right the outta that thick ass air!
Steph would have really been clowned then. Shit! Bron's johnson was at full chub as he followed Steph up the damned court. And his tongue was dripping hot spit in preparation of talking that Ultimate Warrior shit. Imagine if Kang had snatched Steph's oop outta the air.
It didn't matter if it was an oop from Steph or that weak ass layup Iggy tried. Nestle Crunch Head should have gone for the dunk at the front/side of the rim and exposed his body a lil bit. With Bron's angle on the play, Iggy could have drawn the foul call. Instead he now comes off like Charles Smith! WEAK ASS SHOT AT THE WRONG FUCKING TIME!
72. "<---- Loving all this honest discourse and reflection." In response to Reply # 0
You shouldn't expect MVP caliber clutch plays from someone that does not deserve the MVP. Anyone without bias knows Bron deserved MVP status this year. Bron would've lobbed it or taken it to the rack in those crucial moments like the MVP he is.
Steph doesn't even guard the best player on the opposing team and people gave him the MVP.
I'm here for the petty and glad the WORLD CHAMPION CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WON THE TITLE.

That was a garbage pass by Irving and he's dumb passer in general. When he was about to pass it I had a "Really?!" reaction. Haywood should have just just tried to catch the ball and land without moving to the rim. That alleyoop just wasn't there.
