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.

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

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

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

Curry

Kyrie is a completely different point guard though

Curry.

You can call him a one trick pony but when your trick has that pervasive of a positive effect on your team, then that has to be taken into account as well.

Curry better ft, deep, passing

You can make cases for kyrie defending most places on court and vs bigger guys.

Kyrie brilliant at the rim. Curry no slouch.

I pick curry for my team.

Curry. Not even a debate unless you're only talking about finishing ability around the rim.

Kyrie does some things better than curry, and if they were playing one on one, could very well beat him.

However, kyrie is a score first (and second, third, etc) point guard, whereas steph is much better at getting his teammates involved. Kyrie is a 6'2 Kobe Bryant.

Steph is clearly the better overall player. To be honest, I think kyrie is a bad fit with Lebron.

Kyrie plays too much iso/hero ball and relies on his athleticism too much. This is stopping him from developing any passing game. He is also a massive liability on defense.

Curry, on the other hand, is also an elite scorer, but is a compenent playmaker and passer as well. He is also less of a liability on the defensive end.

Curry all day over Kyrie.
