Is it crazy to think that giannis might very soon be the best player in the east outside of Lebron?

Yes he is on his way. He might on his way as the 2nd unstoppable player like LBJ. Greek freak is for real.

Especially when you think of where he realistically ranks in the West.

Did I miss anyone?

Seems like a solid list. I guess Blake could be in there but I'd take Giannis.

Kyrie is lighting shit up right now. Continuing his brilliant season thus far. He is kicking ass against a very good defensive team.

Jabari Parker is better

But none of them are the best outside of lebron in the east lol

Parker is better than who?

that combo of Jabari Parker and Giannis is scary good....

Jabari Parker reminds me of Paul Pierce 2.0. Its a great comp.

neither have shit on Kyrie though. holy hell is Kyrie Irving fucking gutting them tonight.

Cavs missing 40% of their starting lineup and are just routing the Bucks.

Kyrie Irving cant make plays for others right?

13 assists, 31 points, 6 boards, on 11/17 shooting. He will make his 2nd All NBA team this year and his 4th all star game....

the reigning starting point guard on the Gold Medal winning Olympic team and on the reigning NBA Champions is really starting to enter his prime and it is fun to watch.

Kyrie is a beast

if you were picking one guy to take a game winning shot when you were down 1 with 5 seconds left- i dont think there are too many guys in the league you would take over Kyrie- if any.

Exactly we have butler one of the top 3 2 way player. Guys will want to play with butler and aging wade. I'm not worried about that. Butler isn't like rose. Butler is very liked in the NBA by his peers

There's that homerism again. No one's going to sign long-term in Chicago based on Wade.

 

[Heatles84]

I have sipped the Raptor Kool Aid for 2 Seasons.

Those Dudes can't beat the Cavs.

Never said they could. I'm just saying if we're going to pick a team that has some semblance of a chance or the best chance - it's the Raptors for me, even though it will be a rinse and repeat.

Giannis doesn't have shit on Kyrie? Did you mean tonight or in general?

geez....as much as i love Kyrie's game- and how he might be the most complete offensive player in the league- Giannis is such an all-around monster of a player.....

he scores, defends, makes plays, rebounds.....

if i had to win one game tomorrow id take Kyrie....but its hard to deny that Giannis is on a trajectory where he has the ability to be a first team All NBA player some day.
