Kyrie about KD: “ this is the first time I’m playing with a player that can hit shots down the scretch too”

Here’s the quote

KYRIE IRVING ON KD: "I felt like I was the best option on every team I’ve played for down the stretch. This is the first time in my career where I can be like that mother*****r can make that shot too.”

Is this a shot at Lebron?

Kyrie is delusional. Thinking he's the best option down the stretch on teams he's been on. I'd rather Tatum and LBJ by a large margin

Kyrie should have said

'finally, another player that can carry my ass through the playoffs so I can hit a game winner or two to prove my worth"

His 2016 run is pretty legendary

But overall I'm not a big fan

LeBron has more playoff game winners than anyone in NBA history.

Someone remind me what Kyrie was leading the cavs to pre-Lebron?

Also someone remind me where Kyrie led the C's to last year?

Also how far did the C's get this year without him?

Love Kyrie's game that 2016 run him and Lebron went absolute bonkers.

27ppg in the finals including the coldest three you'll ever see in the opposing team's house to win the game.

The first Finals game 7 winner in history?

This is why he won't live up to his potential and become a great. He's too insecure. Just focus on your craft instead of wasting your energy on stupid stuff
LeBron's NBA Cup MVP is more valuable than either of KD's Finals MVPs. This is the word of the Lord

the whole point of the me posting in this thread is showing that Lebron helped Kyrie get there. The shade thrown by Kyrie shows he is still NOT capable of leading any team anywhere. there are no guarantees with KD as KD could only get to the finals riding the coattails of other great players as well.

I don't even think people would be surprised if KD and Kyrie don't go to the finals next year either.

The Brooklyn Nets are going to be a beautiful disaster.
