[Win TWINS!!!]

of course Curry is better at age 27 in his prime.

im just saying if you compare Curry and Irving at similar points in their careers- Kyrie has been better. Right?

But... WHAT IF you've seen Kryrie's peak? You can't say that you haven't.

 

[WiggyRuss]

You can rearrange the stats all you want.

One guy has a ring and a MVP.

The other guy has some Uncle Drew commercials.

and when Curry was Irving's age h was not nearly as good as Irving. Just a fact.

 

[Mecca]

Here's the thing.....

I personally think Kyrie is a stud.

His handles and scoring abilitities are next level.

But, Curry does all that, at a much higher level, plus he makes his teammates better.

You can't say that about Kyrie.

His assists are anemic for a starting pg.

How do you know?


You are just throwing shit against the wall and waiting to see what sticks.

 

[LAD]

time for me to make you look STUPID....though you do that for yourself a lot.

All 22 of Kobe Bryant's career injuries in one painful infographic



this doesnt get most of the MAJOR ones that have happened lately either as its a few years old. lol---------------hmmmm....please SOMEONE compare that to LeBron's injury history...

See this is your problem. COMPREHENSION. When did I say anything about him NOT having injuries? LOL I said he didn't have BACK PROBLEMS. Now, please show me on that pretty picture you posted where there's a BACK INJURY. Don't worry, I'll wait. SMH

i dunno what metrics would you use? Id probably use their stats, awards, all star games etc...if you use those metrics- which are pretty much the ones anyone i know would use- its an easy answer- you know that.

And somehow that matters since Curry is currently BETTER than Kyrie? That's like saying you want to compare you height to someone taller than you but only when they were shorter than you. See how ridiculous that sounds?

Kyrie was the whole Team before Lebron got there.

So, his stats will likely reflect that.

They both play on stacked rosters.

Yet, one is the Man and the other is the sidekick.

I can only go by what they are now.

Kyrie still has his training wheels on compared to Curry.

Maybe we can revisit this once they hang em up?

i think that is a phenomnal way to put it- Kyrie still is in training while Curry is full grown- and its not like Curry played for juggernauts early in his career- i seem to remember Klay and Barnes being lotto picks, lol.

just saying while both were "in training" Kyrie was better. I dont know why that bothers you so much to admit.

That comparison would only make sense if you had done it WHEN it was happening, not 5 years later. GOOD GAWD!!!!!!!

What makes it even more stupid is that Curry is BETTER than Kyrie TODAY and has achieved the ultimate goal they both were reaching for-he's a CHAMPION and Kyrie IS NOT.

It doesn't bother me.

It's just not true...lol

this doesnt get most of the MAJOR ones that have happened lately either as its a couyple years old. lol---------------hmmmm....please SOMEONE compare that to LeBron's injury history...

and i admire Kobe for playing through injuries and showing up everyday. It is impressive- but it was not very smart for his career longevity. Now I highly doubt LEBron will consent to be babied like Duncan- but he is not going to stubbornly burn himself out like Kobe.

 

[WiggyRuss]

It's just not true...lol

well how would you measure it then? like i said- id be glad to give you the stats, awards, al lstar appearances, records broke etc.....but you know where that will go theres a reason magic johnson was shitting his pants about Kyrie putting up the rookie stats he did as mostly a 19 year old. They are so much better than the VAST majority of contemporary great players it kinda makes you sit up straight and say REALLY WHAT HTE FUCK!

I'm pretty sure you missed that she said Kyrie STILL has on his training wheels. LOL this is too funny....

I actually tried to take a moment to figure out a way to compare them.

Way to many factors/variables.

Quality of competition, minutes played, teammates.....it's impossible.

See my reply to All Day.

I really don't know how.

Longevity? Kobe played 20 seaons. LOL

A Look at Kobe's Gruesome Injury History
007-08: Carrying the Team on His Back

During the Western Conference semifinals against the Utah Jazz, Kobe Bryant suffered a back injury. But the injury couldn’t keep the then-reigning MVP down, as Kobe led the Los Angeles Lakers past the Jazz and eventually to the Western Conference title.

suck it....lol





HAHHAHAHHAHA
Im sorry ms. jackson.

by that logic you could never compare anyone.

Right? It really shortened his career playing through those injuries.
