Based purely on the raw numbers, he deserved it.
If one were to factor in something like what Bill Simmons talks about in his BBOB, i.e. "the secret," Kyrie's name doesn't belong anywhere near the All-NBA discussion.
Please expand on "the secret".
Yeah... I don't listen to Bill Simmons unless I feel like punishing myself for something, so this is like a different language to me.

Recency bias is pretty powerful and compelling, don't ya think?
Irving has one of his best statistical season, has one awful playoff series, and displays a lack of leadership and somehow people are content with letting an Allstar PG walk for free..

Oh PhoSita...
Really?
You're going to use Bill Simmons as your main source of reasoning?
Career highs in every category except PPG...
Good for him and his bottom line
But did the team succeed?
Certainly not all Irving fault but his attitude/poor leadership/non spotlight sharing ways did not help
This nod also fattens his already big head. For Irving to be truly successful in a team setting he needs to be paired with a team oriented alpha dog like Draymond, KG
I made it clear before that since you're not even going to bother responding to my posts with any statistical evidence, and instead respond with unnecessary irrational biased thoughts; just like some other posters here who will not be mentioned.
I'm not getting into it. Take it as a win.
I'm done.
Tired of responding to your, "bUt hE DoEsN't mAkE tHe TeAM BeTTeR," played out ranting.
Saying he doesn't move the ball well enough doesn't count as a reason either, because there is plenty of ample proof that Irving not only lessened his USG %, but passed the ball more and averaged career high in assists along with assist to turn over ratio.
