Per. Seriously?


yes PER. you don't have to like the stat, but look at all the legit best players in the league - LBJ, Kawhi, Durant, Harden, Curry, AD, Giannis - all of them are 25+ PER. look at every average player in the league - 15 PER. again, you don't have to like the stat but it absolutely tells a story.


So how is per telling the story that Lowry is choking?

They faced each other. Lowry beat his ass. He put up 35 PTS (11/20) 9 AST 7 REB 4 STL in a game 7. Wade had 16 on 13 shots...

...and him having LeBron, the MOST dominant player in the East, certainly helped his 2 'chips early in the decade.

Nice try but nah

Lowry is awesome but this is an insane take. He's never been a top 5 player at any point, but somehow he's the second best player of the decade?

:lol: I can’t believe you’re comparing Kyle Lowry to Dwyane Wade, that’s the funniest thing I heard all night

And you talking about the series where Joe Johnson was our 2nd best player? :lol: Lowry couldn’t even touch the 05 Heat team D-Wade that lost to the Pistons in the ECF.

That's not true at all. Check his stats. Sure sometimes hes underperforming back with DeRozan couple of games but he had great playoffs individually 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016. It's just a myth and it was a problem that his bc Partnrr, DeRozan, chokes bc he can't shoot the 3 or defend. Lowry is criminally underrated. Sure next to Chris Paul, the best Floor General you can have.

This is such a ridiculous take—he's ahead of LeBron.

I love Lowry, my all time favourite Raptors players and I don't agree with anyone that says he was a playoff choker. But come on, there's no rational way to place Lowry as 2nd best player of the decade, even as a homer.

Beyond maybe Curry and Durant, I agree. Even with Durant, I think everyone behind LeBron has been vastly overrated. It shows too in star power, lot of these guys getting paid absurd amounts of money and can't draw a dime. Lowry also did everything right in his stint with the Raptors. Backed up his friend when he was traded, but didn't shrug off his responsiblity as the leader of the team. Lowry is just a man, beyond the stats you don't see enough of them in this league.

Ihm he is since he came to Toronto. DeRozan ist just more of a marketing thing. Lowry's game is not sexy or stylish but boy, this guy should be the golden standard for every PG

Dude Kyle Lowry was in VILLANOVA in '05. We're talking about the WINNINGEST player in the past decade. Not 15 years ago. DWade's a stud but you ain't right

General board is full of casual fans. I wouldn't expect much insight, especially on a stud like Lowry.
