He's never been that type of player. Like, ever. It's one of my biggest criticisms, so I don't disagree that it's a weakness. But neither do I think it's realistic to expect a player to change his fundamental playing style. It's not like flipping a switch.
I hear you man but it starts at the 1 spot and becomes contagious.

That's the thing -- he's not a 1. He's basically a shooting guard by nature. Always has been, always will be. He only plays at the point because he's short. You might as well be criticizing Durant.

That's not what I mean. You might as well be criticizing him for not getting his teammates either, because he and Kyrie essentially are the same player -- shoot first. Just the way it is.

Disappointing from Serbia, clearly not serious about the Olympics.
