Kyrie if you're looking for someone that can hit a tough shot in Game 7
Kemba if you want to only make it to the 1st round
The hate here is ridiculous.
FTFY
Love the way you rearranged my comment.
Kyrie didn’t even make it to the first round of the playoffs without lebron.
Kyrie is a fine player who hit a big shot.. but he had arguably the best player of all time on his team in his prime.
Lebron has two championship rings due to two shots that were not his own, Kyrie and Ray but let’s not sugarcoat why those teams were even in those positions in the first place.
If I had the choice of either player, kemba or Kyrie. I take the no nonsense one that is a slight tier below the other.. and kemba can hit big shots also - do people already forget what he did to us in the 4th two week ago?
Paul Pierce didn't win a title until KG came to town. Does that make Pierce any less of a player?
It's a team game. No team wins a title thanks solely to one player. Lebron needed teammates like Kyrie and Ray as much as guys like Kyrie and Ray needed a guy like Lebron.
How come Lebron's Lakers aren't going to the playoffs this season?
If you're comparing two players, you can't ignore past accomplishments.
And you also can't ignore the fact that Kyrie has won an NBA title, while Kemba has yet to make it past the first round.
Also, for those who criticize Kyrie for being so ball-dominant, then you'll be in for a real treat with Kemba.
Personally, I like Kemba alot and would take him on my team any day. But, I just don't think he brings as much to the game as Kyrie.
Kyrie is just a very cerebral player with great court vision and ball handling, which Kemba doesn't quite measure up to.
My only issue with Kyrie is his surly demeanor in interactions with the media but I also don't let that cloud my judgement of him as a player.
