    If by "big stage" you mean any game that is not a real NBA playoff game of any sort then I guess you are correct.

    Prime Kyrie will be like 2011 Wade with a jumper
    Kevin Love is the best or atleast top 3 pf in the game

    Lebron planned this all out since 2010 dude is a freaking genius

    Also, if any of you could think the least bit logically , the Cavaliers having LeBron+ 2 other stars doesn't make them "zomg da mos stacked eva". Their defense looks like it will be horrendous, I'm unimpressed by their
    depth, and just because 3 players are great on their own doesn't mean they will work well together.
    Kyrie was 21 for the vast majority of last season.

    I still feel like people either choose to ignore or don't understand how young this guy is. He was the youngest starting point guard in the entire NBA at the start of last season.

    I have been a Kyrie Irving "semi-hater" for a while now, but he was super impressive in this tourny. He had probs the best chemistry with Cuz out of any PG I have ever seen him play with as well which is somewhat intriguing to me down the line.

    Kyrie was super impressive no doubt big props.

    Of course you can, but that's not what you said, lol.

    You're seriously comparing their careers? Seriously?

    It's not what you said, it's how you said it. Had you phrased it something like, "Love, who is entering his prime, is currently a better player than the 22-year-old Kyrie Irving."

    But, saying that the reason Love is "better" than Kyrie is because he has "produced better," without bothering to mention that they're in completely different phases of their respective NBA careers? I think that was a bit misleading.

    We still don't know how good Kyrie Irving can become. He has never played on a team with remotely proper spacing. He simply hasn't been in the league long enough to make an accurate comparison to a firmly established player who just finished his sixth season.


    Look, I hope Kyrie, Love and LeBron are all equally awesome... Dion Waiters, too, who doesn't get near enough discussion, imo. It doesn't really make a difference to me what order these guys fall in the grand scheme. If they turn into a great team, why should it matter so much who is taking on what role?

    I hope you guys have success. Only team I ever truly cheered for (as a team not because they had a player I liked) is STL Cardinals, so I'm not familiar with rooting for a team that never wins. I still feel inclined to root for the Heat though, I had fun watching them. Only problem is I'm not sure I can cheer against LeBron lol
