Kyrie would never make the finals in his career without LBJ....And what about the legendary block by LBJ after a horrible shot by Kyrie at the end in game 7....

Yeah and Lebron also gave Kyrie his first cigarette joint and introduced him to smoking.

We're talking about grown men here


We are talking about Kyrie Irving here. And Irving was still young when he was playing with Diva LBJ.

See what I mean with this clownish take?

29.7/11/9/2.6/2.3 on 49% shooting (this is considered "mediocre?" LMAO)

vs

27/4/4/2/1 on 47% shooting


Yeah, Kyrie totally won LeBron that ring by underperforming him in every facet :crazy:


You need to rewatch son, it was Kyrie with all the clutch and 4th qtr buckets/penetration.

Kyrie make only 2 shots in the fourth quarter in game 7....LBJ had like 26 points combined in game 6 and 7 in the fourth quarter with great defense....

If it wasn't for Lebron, Kyrie would still be selling meat out of truck in Minneapolis.

Lebron made 8 straight Finals. Pay your blessings and keep it moving.


8 Finals in the weakest Conference on the planet, making the finals in the East is like making the playoffs in the West. Doesn't mean much, and half of those are with the super team he created after colluding with his buddies.

Will let a Cav fan weigh in but Kyrie was always eccentric. Before Lebron joined there was already lockerroom dysfunction incidents with Kyrie, Waiters and co. Cav fans were split between Kyrie and Dion. Meanwhile Lebron has won with Dwight, Rondo, Chris Andersen, JR Smith, Waiters. Lebron is a successful knucklehead rehabilitation center that couldn't help even Kyrie

Le-evil

Lmao. This is actually the weak take. How come he hasn't come close to winning anyone else a title. Lebron won 2 games in the finals the previous year with Delly as the next best player. Lebron was clearly the best player and lead dog even with Kyrie

That was by far the most impressive title of his career. Kyrie and Love were good players, but not great (plus you have the drama around Kyrie).

No.

Kyrie was lights out that Finals.

While Lebron was the MVP, Kyrie played like an MVP. Had he won it, it would have only been a bad look because Lebron played at the level he played on.

Dude, Kyrie averaged 27ppg, had a 41 point game, and hit the game winning shot. He shot 47 from the field and 40 percent from from three. What do you MEAN he wasn't great? That was an MVP caliber performance. Lebron was simply more deserving.

Now, Kevin Love ... maybe. Kyrie beasted that series.

28 points, to be exact, plus 5 assists, plus one of the greatest defensive plays in NBA history. But hey, who's counting?

He mentioned in an interview that it was basically "out of the way" and he didn't have to worry about it anymore. He was kind of like, cool, I can to do anything now.

Kyrie was great that series, but he's still only a top-20 player.

That championship changed Kyrie. He went from one of the most likable players in the NBA to being a complete team cancer.

Kyrie averaged nearly 30ppg in the finals, hit the bail out shot and helped carry the team all season.

Get out of here with these weak clown takes...how embarrassing
