That 3 by Luka was insane. Dude a real clutch player and not a manufactured one by the media/ESPN like Kobe was.

I'm inclined to agree. Steph/Klay would be their biggest competitor, and Kyrie is a better scorer and playmaker than Klay.

Well, they have one full season only... it's hard to beat Curry and Klay careerwise... but then they never had a combined season as good as this one so far...

The answer here is 2017-2018 CP3 and Harden. Kyrie not as good as 2018 CP3 at this point, or ever honestly.

OK, but then Luka is better than Harden easily.

What position does Luka guard on the defensive end?

Harden & CP3 beats it. CP3 got hurt in game 6 of the WCFs if you want to hold that against them, but Luka/Kyrie haven't made it to game 6 yet.

This matters why exactly??? Steph runs people ragged and needs little space so he gets open often.

Come on, Kyrie is a better all-around offensive player than Klay. The only thing Klay is better at is 3pt shooting.

Luka and prime Steph are about on the same tier. Kyrie is a couple above tier than Klay and let's not forget Kyrie outplayed Steph in the 2016 finals. Thanks for KD saving their ass next season.

3pt shooting is the biggest weapon in today's game. Kyrie/Luka win a couple titles then it becomes a discussion.

It's not like Luka or Kyrie are exactly known for defense, either(not that Steph is).

Kyrie is no slouch in that department and the rest is also important.

Not sure what titles have to do with the discussion. We are not talking about the rest of the team or about defense.
