Re: Should Kyrie Have Made Top 75 Over Dame?
Kyrie is a better player, but did he have a better career? It's a tough call. In terms of the regular season, their numbers are close. Kyrie has more postseason success, but It isn't fair to compare their playoff careers, because Kyrie played with LeBron and Dame played with CJ.
I think a better case, as some here have already mentioned, is Dwight Howard over both. Dwight was more a player of his era, but he did lead the Magic to a Finals appearance. He was instrumental in the Lakers winning a title in the bubble.

Garbage list still living rent free in everyones heads.
It's the dumbest most ignorant popularity contest, and that's all it's ever been.

Just because I disagree with the list existing I shouldn't talk about it? People taking the rankings serious is crazy. Did you forget that we're on an internet forum bro?

Lots of love for McGrady for Top 75. Why? On talent and single-season peak, I can understand the attempt, but he was so rarely healthy once he became a starter. If folks are after Kyrie for health, we realize he's played around as many games as McGrady did after leaving Toronto already, right? And more in the playoffs. McGrady has 38 starts and 50 total playoff games. Kyrie had 52 just in Cleveland, and has 82 overall.
Just something to ponder. Like, that 02-03 season was something else no doubt, and he was pretty good prior to that. After, though, he was basically never healthy again.

Of course, Kyrie has been better in his career than Dame. Also in international basketball, Kyrie was very good, Dame was poor at Olympics team.

Lol not even close.Chessboxer wrote:Dame was really only the addition to the top 75 where I was like, "Huh?..Really?". Watching Kyrie during these playoffs have reinforced my original opinion he should have made it, especially since he was a ring with arguably the biggest shot in the NBA Finals outside of MJ. He is just not dependent on the 3 ball going in to make an impact on the game. Thoughts?
Dame Time vs World is fat bum who rather stay home for personal reasons then help KD in the playoff. They are not even friends anymore.

Draymond should’ve easily been in, but it’s a worthless list. Who cares?

So he smart enough to constantly taken personal time off to play video games after asking KD to follow him to the Nets?Lockdown504090 wrote:Krie is more skilled more complete, higher iq, more versatile, better defender. Dame is just miles ahead of Irving in terms of mental toughness and competitive stamina. I think Irving is better than him but I can’t put him on any list before dame

I just don't see how anyone can make this statement and actually mean it.

Knock on wood, but Kyrie looks great physically and his skillset gives him a little wiggle room.
He could have another 2-4 prime/peak years left where he's a 24/5/5 on close to 50/40/90 splits with a 5 bpm. If he plays another 5 years he can get to 25k points, 5k assists, 4k rebounds, prob. a lot of steals and very high efficiency career wise. He would've been All-BBA this year, he can
He can have a few more great playoff runs, maybe get a chip, make a few more all-star teams, make another 1 or 2 All-NBA teams.That would put him the top 60 IMO. 15 or 16 years of all-star/all-nba level play, 23k points, 5k assists, all that. Pretty great, possibly under appreciated career. Will have to be above Vince Carter at the rate he's going, at least.

No, Pau Gasol should have been elected instead him.
