It's okay to go back and reread a few times if you didn't follow. Pay attention to who says what.
No need for me to go back and reread but if I missed something feel free to point it out. As it stands now he is not even in the top 5 or did I miss something?  :)

That's correct. I'm not arguing that he is, nor is mochjas. But Lebron sure is, regardless of your non-sequitur about end of game.

I wonder who in the NBA has the fastest layups. Prob curry and it, but I'd like to see how fast kyrie and lbj drive. Do they track this?

you claim to be a basketball expert and don't know what a point guard is?? Technically lbj is a pg but officially he is not if that makes any sense
I am no expert but have watched a lot of basketball.

Not sure how LBJ got into this but I glad everyone is not drinking the GOAT Kyrie finisher Kool-Aid.

LOL!!! It was you. Look at your reply to my first comment in this discussion. I'm starting to get worried for you.

Not when he started but when he finished. Best match up I ever watched was Russell vs Wilt.

Bump!  :)
Kyrie is the greatest finisher ever. He will have much better stats, when he's the #1 star on a team.
Imo he's the best finisher in the game today.

Maybe you need to reread the discussion instead of jumping in during it. This whole discussion is about Kyrie and I was not the first to bring in LBJ.

You claimed he is the best finisher in the game today and that is just as insane.

How is that just as insane? Is there someone better than GOAT?

And, depending on how you define finisher, it is true (and many ppl that know basketball better than both of us, it is true). Even with the most general definition, he's been elite the past 3 years and is better than some of the people your group gave mentioned, such as curry and Westbrook.

Should Irving be a franchise centerpiece at all? He's known to be moody and difficult to reach. He has a tendency to dominate the ball. He doesn't elevate teammates. He plays no defense. Nothing about him screams "leader."

Maybe they should read this thread and understand he is the greatest finisher of all time!!!  :)
I wouldn't build a team around him either. But he is the greatest finisher of all time. Put's Jordan to shame!!!
