Lebron
KD
Curry
James
Kawhi
Westbrook
Davis

That's your order. Kyrie isn't even top 10 I'm afraid.

It's Curry, and it's really not that close.

Kawhi is the 3rd best player, IMO

They're both great scorers, average defenders at best (Kyrie nod), pretty good facilitators (Curry nod) and pretty good rebounders.

We know Kyrie is solid on a bad team.**

We haven't really seen that I can remember, Curry on a BAD team simply because he was constantly hurt early on in his career when the Warriors weren't exactly setting the league on fire.

ETA:** I do have to say, if Kyrie is so good, he should have never been part of a bad team especially in the lowly East. Should have been mediocre at worst.

This is a good litmus test for people you should listen to about basketball

Anyone who says Kyrie is a person you can safely ignore

I'd never describe Kyrie as a good facilitator.

Irving has 29 games with double digit assists for his entire career. Curry had almost as many double digit assist games in 2014 alone (27) than Irving's had for his entire career. Irving is not good at creating shots for his teammates or distributing the ball at all. He's a score first, second, and third PG much like Gilbert Arenas was.

Curry gets the nod overall for his ridiculous fg/ft shooting, ability to distribute, and marginally better defense.
Kyrie's handles and ability to finish at the rim are better than anyone though

Kawhi is becoming overrated if you have people putting him ahead of the Stephs and Hardens. Consider this. Defense is his calling card and his squad was better defensively last season when he was on the bench than when he was playing.

Probably because he only goes to the bench when guys like Lebron sit down too.

Not up for discussion in my opinion. Kyrie has great handles and a great finisher at the rim. But every GM in the league is taking curry over kyrie

Or as an average defender. Anyone that knows basketball knows that he is a terrible defender and just dies on screens.

Curry
Westbrook
CP3
John Wall


All clear better PGs than Kyrie. If you include Harden as a PG he's obviously better, too. Then there's a list of guys that can be debated like Lillard, Lowry, Conley. Kyrie likely doesn't even make my top 20 overall players list. If he does it's barely.
