I was watching highlights from the 2005 all star game and man what a tandem that would've been. I know both of them love isolation but I think they would've come to an agreement because of
how bad they wanted a championship. Put prime AI in Kyrie's place on this years Cleveland team and they are unquestionably the 2nd best team in the NBA (probably greatest tandem of all time next to Kobe and Shaq) and probably give the Warriors more of a battle. AI's defense>>>>>Kyrie's AI's toughness>>>>>Kyrie's

So you're saying Allen Iverson is better than Kyrie Irving, and prime LeBron is better than 32-year-old LeBron.

Did you think anyone would disagree with you?

Where did I say anything about a prime LBJ? I said replace Kyrie with AI in his prime right now. Tighten up your reading comprehension

Eta: I also don't post with the intentions of having people disagree with me, that's retarded.

Lebron would have been able to share with AI. He's one of the most unselfish superstars to have played the game.

AI on the otherhand would not have returned the favor. Just lke him and Melo never worked. Neither would he and LeBron.

LeBron and D Wade were a perfect duo. If only DWade didn't have shite knees.

You're really going out on a limb saying AI is better than Kyrie, aren't you?

I figured this would be a criticism but you really can't compare Melo to LBJ. Melo is a pure scorer and probably not as basketball smart as LBJ. When AI and Melo played together there offense was actually legit, there defense was terrible. It didn't help that AI was on the decline.

It would've worked with LBJ

No, I'm fantasizing how amazing the tandem would've been.

2nd best tandem of all time, still 2nd best team in the NBA. So who really cares?

Warriors would rub their nuts on Kobe and Shaq and any bulls team from 90's. Brb, going to throw up.

So what you are saying is that prime AI is better than Kyrie f'ing Irving? Groundbreaking opinion. The only people that could possibly disagree with you are Kyrie's parents.

Going back to '98 the best player or top 3 best in the NBA has won the all star mvp every year, with a few outliers. So yea, you are right, just ask Kobe.

Like every other good player to play with Iverson (Iggy,stackhouse,korver)

Lebron might be relegated to watching AI play 1 on 5.

Or be like Melo and take turns jacking shots.
