Is Kyrie Irving the best third option EVER?

[TheMarkMadsen]

Never is Irving more exciting than Westbrook

love them both but i prefer Irving

[Fowl]

He'll be traded by the deadline lol.
Think about it, Kyrie and Waiters were beefing over touches BEFORE LeBron and K.Love hopped on, now those 2 guys will be expected to give up the ball handling duties.

Train wreck waiting to happen in CLE with Kyrie and Waiters unhappy, a new coach, and a lack of perimeter defense.

12 & 10 on 43% in the playoffs is GOAT 3rd option status..

But when Bosh puts up those numbers you wanna praise him as the second coming of christ.

He has actually out-played WB on numerous occasions. In fact, with both guys on the floor in head-to-head matchups, the Cavs actually own a slight W/L advantage... mainly due to Kyrie taking over down the stretch.

Case in point...

Kyrie Irving 13pts in the last 2:51 against OKC Thunder

I think that falls under the category of "exciting."

Although this is an obvious troll thread, I will answer it seriously. Harden is the greatest 3rd option of the modern era, and it's not even close. For proof let's examine what Kyrie and Harden have done on their own teams. Harden just led the Rockets to a 4 seed in the most stacked conference ever, while Kyrie missed the playoffs in the weakest conference ever.
How did Durant not win a title with such an elite 3rd option?

You really want to ask that question man?

I know Harden struggled in that series, but as the leader Durant has to take some responsibility for that. In the previous round Harden was lighting up the Spurs, but when the Finals rolled around that all changed. Durant started hogging the ball, and thus reduced Harden into a spot up shooter. Harden needs the ball in his hands to be effective, but Durant just wasn't willing to sacrifice his precious stats.

Kyrie was 21 last season. Harden was 25 and playing with arguably the best center in the league.

Smarten up. Aren't you just coming off a ban?

[DatAsh]

Quite a few of the guys y'all are comparing him to weren't third options. at Rodman being a third option.

I am coming off a ban, which I feel was undeserved, but I will let it go. I don't think saying Harden was a better 3rd option than Kyrie will be is unreasonable. As a Lebron fan I hope I am wrong about that, but thus far Harden has proven more in this league than Kyrie has.

Yeah, while I like mods having banning power, it shouldnt be use a threat when someone post things you personally disagree with....

Even though JT is clearly agenda posting to an idiotic degree.
