Just a question, if Kyrie irving is not a top 15 player or a superstar....what do you guys view Isaiah Thomas as? He really only had one MVP type season...
because we all know what the rediculous takes are about. its fans who cant get over Isaiah Thomas.
Not many people, especially around here, think that Kyrie isn't a top 15 player. It's a subjective list, but I think most agree that he should land around 15-20. I think the rare Kyrie haters are vastly outweighed by grateful Celtics fans. This team is a lot of fun to watch and he's our best player.
Yep, that's where I have him.
Can we go through this list of 15-19 players again who are definitely more superstar worthy than Kyrie? Because I am just not seeing it. He's got stats, flashiness, and [most importantly] is a winner. He's the whole package and I am very happy he is a Celtic.
I originally had Kyrie between the 17-19 range, but now I have him in the 15-16 range.
In no particular order, I have Lebron, Embiid, Cousins, Davis, Harden, Curry, Westbrook, Porzingis, Greek Freak, Kawhi, Aldridge, Durant, Aldridge, and Lilliard.
Now you can make the case Kyrie belongs over some of these guys, or other guys (like healthy Isaiah, or Towns, or Jokic, etc.) belong above Kyrie and in the Top-15, but that's how I have it.
