This is a pretty severe example of homerism and groupthink. I'm all for some homerism, esp on a Celtics site... but c'mon now. I encourage anyone to ask NBA, non-Celtic fans to share their opinion. I told 2 old friends from college about this thread and asked for their input in a FB chat -- these are direct quotes:

"Lolll that's honestly laughable!"

"Insane anything like that could get published in any form."

They then quickly compiled a list of PGs better than IT: Chef, Lowry, Kyrie, Paul, Westbrook, Wall, Lillard.

Now if you want to argue he's a better value at his cost relative to others, that's debatable for sure... but that's not the topic that was raised here.

Just for kicks, their career lines all the way across are about as similar as two stars' lines ever get. Hilariously similar. Not sure I've seen two more similar lines down the whole page.

Wow.  That is freaky.

Yes it is.  Very interesting.
