This thread has become a competition on who has the worst take. I'm taking bets, lets go.

MJ7 wrote: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.


great post.

Another casual fan detected. It's embarrassing typing out basketball opinions like this. Have you no shame?


The only thing thats detected is that you've only watched Raptor games and nothing else. Now that's casual!


If you watch Hockey (which most Basketball fans don't lol) its the EXACT same thing with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Nothing else exists outside of TO to them

Um other than kawhi. He’s always been our best player.


Has he though?

For starters, DeRozan was All NBA 2nd team in 2018...

Lowry has never made all NBA 2nd team...

I've been a fan of Kyle Lowry from his Villanova days when he played with Randy Foye.

Lowry was always better than Derozan.

Derozan played zero defense. He made the all NBA on his offense. He was rarely a net positive on the court for us.

Actually raptors fans are the best. Especially when they’re going through their self loathing stages.

Dwayne Wade


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


You mean the same 7 game series where Lowry scored 7 points game 1 and 10 points in game 3. Yes, he sure beat Wades ass.
Toronto won that series, but then Lowry was a no show in 3 of the 6 games vs Kyrie and LeBron.
And to take away from Wade for winning with LeBron, well what has Lowry won exactly without Leonard? Atleast Wade had already proven he could be the #1 option on a championship team, even if it was before the decade he was already a proven player. Lowry has never in his career been the #1 option in a season where his team has won a championship.

Lowry has not won a big playoff series as the Raptors best player. His biggest playoff win was against the Bosh-less over the hill Heat. The narrative can flip big time when you play with one of the GOATs.

Is this a troll post? Why do we have to ruin it after such a great performance.

And by the way, I’m not saying Lowry is a bum or trying to discredit the great game he had tonight, he’s played and had multiple big games in the playoffs, but he’s always been a player who could disappear multiple games in a playoff series and all I’m saying is from 2010-2020, he has not been the second Best player to play in EC not named LeBron.

Lowry would have led GSW to 74 wins and not choked in the finals.

Raptors fans - you guys are just casual nba fans

Also Raptors fans in this thread - Kyle Lowry has been the 2nd best player of the decade over Curry/KD/Harden/Westbrook/Giannis/Leonard/Wade/CP3/AD just to name a few. GTFO out of here man
