The only ones who will not respect him are idiots who know next to nothing about basketball. Congratulations on being in that group.

You say KD had it easy and you have Leflop as your avatar. James is almost guaranteed a finals every year because the East is extremely weak. He had a cake walk in the playoffs.

Put James on any 2 franchises in the West over his entire career and he has rings. Period.

Durant joined a dynasty in progress. I hate that a player as great as he is had to do that to get a ring. But he got that ring and he's bound to get more.

Shumpert only had 4 minutes tonight, his offense has been terrible and he's made a couple of boneheaded plays on D but he was needed a little more tonight. Korver didn't do enough on offense to make a difference.

His offense is terrible and his defense is almost as bad. Why question that he had 4 minutes?

Offensive comparisons Irving and Curry arguments could be made to either guy. Curry is more a threat deep without question but Irving is better in isolation penetration. I think Curry is better at distribution of the ball, however that might have a team to dish to of players that move without the ball. Cavs players besides LBJ don't cut to the basket as well. The biggest thing is defense as for separating Curry and Irving. Curry is fantastic at defending off the ball. He is really good at stealing the ball in the passing lanes. As for on the ball defense Curry is probably a little better but the margin isn't all that big.

It's not such a large discrepancy that it would be embarrassing to favor Kyrie.

It's not even close, IMO.

When Kyrie is on, he's the best player on the floor, but the problem is he's not on a lot. Kyrie was 18 for 45 with 9 assists and 7 turnovers in the first 2 games.

Curry is almost always on.

Korver is washed up. He's 36 and hasn't been able to shoot like he used to since his shoulder surgery 3 years back. It's a shame.

Total BS. Kyrie is a much better overall player than Curry. A better pure shooter? No. Better overall? Absolutely.

Do you even watch basketball? Curry is easily the better passer, shooter, rebounder, and team defender. Kyrie is the better ballhandler and not by a big margin. Neither of them are very good 1 on 1 defenders.

Curry's defense is the most overrated aspect of his game. I'm not saying Irving's defense is any better but Curry is no where near an elite defender. I also didn't like the fact of him still shooting those stupid 3s towards the end of the game when they were already going to win. Lack of class.

You can stop putting words into my mouth now. I don't care if you're Curry, Lebron, or KD. Anyone who still tries to score towards the end of the game when you're up a huge margin, shows a lack of class. In any sport, it's classless imo.

Genuinely sounded like curry annoyed you and you think he is lower class. My bad!

How is that possible when almost nobody considers him a good defender? I doubt anybody has ever called him a great defender, let alone "elite"
