Steph in 2013 led the Warriors to the 2nd round and had the Spurs shook before he hurt his ankle and this was before they were a superteam. Kyrie ain't never been on Steph's level
saidsharif1 you a real one for this
saidsharif1 I love how people forget
saidsharif1
i remember that playoffs too. Curry got past the veteran and seasoned Nuggets, then almost beat the spurs.The hype didnt start till the 2014-2015 season but curry and young GSW were up and coming.
saidsharif1 facts
saidsharif1 always excuses for curry.. ohh he's hurt, this and that. maybe he's just a soft bitch. he doesn't play physical so how does this bitch get hurt so much. he shys away from contact
2 time MVP Champion
3point GOAT
hmmm idkk....
Adam Leon Kyrie only has a ring because of an injured steph curry, hurt iggy, injured bogut, and a suspension of draymond. Steph only has a ring because of Kyrie and Love injured. Now this year everyone is healthy and so far in 2 games, curry is outplaying Kyrie drastically averaging a double double with 31 points and 11 assists not to mention his rebounds as well tallying a triple dub in game 2
Habesha kyrie had one because of injured Steph's and Bogut
Adam Leon
your right it is kyrie 😉
Adam Leon not to mention he won the scoring title the same year he won the unanimous MVP which media loves leaving out, lead his team to single season record AND avg 90 50 40 smh yes steph is MUCH better
he is not three point goat,ray allen is.
Is this a question?
Yo Mammas Boo yes. a stupid one
Kyrie better
@@525forgot9 🤡
Kyrie outplayed a 60% Steph Curry in the finals last year. Ya'll wanna act like it doesn't matter that Steph was injured. Hell, the fact that he had any good games at all while injured speaks to how much of a transcendent player he is. This isn't an argument. Kyrie looked good when Steph couldn't play at 100%. That's not an accomplishment that should be celebrated. It's something that should be questioned. Steph is a two time MVP. He gets the benefit of the doubt in this argument, not Kyrie. Period.
Roaming Shaman is averaging 30 in the thunder series injured... Also don't act like he didn't scream IM BACK against the trailblazers gtf
MHP Maxwell showing flashes doesn't mean you're back. We only saw flashes of Curry last year after Portland. Game 4 was his only Finals flash. So no, you GTFO. Can't accept facts. I actually use to be just like you. I thought Curry wasn't injured either. He's proving you and me wrong now in these playoffs and Finals.
Steph was at more than 60% in the finals last year (more like 85%) He wasn't that injured.
Yep, he averaged 30 against the Thunder, a team that wasn't very physical. You don't understand. Great players, even while injured, can have great games. But against a team that is physical like the Cavs last year? It's impossible to take the beating and still perform while injured. Especially with knee and ankle injuries, which are the worst kind when it comes to basketball. Steph's shooting is so great sometimes he can perform in spite of injury, but that doesn't mean the Cavs didn't have it way easier defending him.
Now, they gotta chase him around and they're getting tired while doing it. There's a clear difference between this year and last year. If you can't see it, it's because you choose not to.
Facts
this isn't a debate
Why was this a debate?
1400 Curry your right we all now Kyrie is better
Matthew Tuccaro when was the last time kyrie won MVP not once but twice in the regular season??
Matthew Tuccaro and when was it the last time Krynee carried a team to the finals??
@@jaredadhemar2072 yeah a player who never won a mvp.
I think ppl need to realize that Steph was the number 1 priority defensively for the cavs. Kyrie had an upper hand bc Lebron was the warriors main focus.
Carmelo Anthony the sad thing is people just can't understand this concept
siddanth daradahally true
Steph Curry is better than Kyrie. The only reason everyone thought Kyrie was better was cause he outplayed an injured Curry in last yrs finals. Also Kyrie can't carry a team to the playoffs like Steph did.
Az steps has had klay Thompson and draymond green for two years. Now he has Kevin Durant
MN Baller Yeah but kyrie had Wiggins, waiters, and this so call rebounding beast TT. He was a round 1 pick 1 and he couldn't even get his team to round one.
kyrie was in a weak east era. he came into the league when the east was top heavy but he couldn't get them to the top 8.
All of Irving's skill sets are for his iso ball. When he is hot, he will destroy you. When he is cold, his game makes nobody better. Curry, on the other hand, is a master at moving without the ball. His presence alone without touching ball is enough to create strong gravity and open shots for his teammates. Which pg is the association right now can do what Curry does? NONE.
Az I was rocking wit you until the curry carrying part 🤦🏾♂️
pass him? never man
Steph lead the warriors to the playoffs multiple times before klay even became klay. I remember when it was steph and jarret jack out there lol
Thank you! I feel like I'm the only Warriors fan that loved Jarrett Jack!
Hugh Mungus sometimes I wish they'd bring him back. He's one of the guys that really helped Steph become a better player
only reason this is a "debate" is because its ESPN stirring the pot. Real niggas know Curry is lightyears ahead of the princess
TheHeart96 princess? If any one of those two is a princess its steph.
Lance Hedges why cause he's light skin and not that physical
MambaMentality 07 hes soft and likes drawing attention to himself
Lance Hedges nah its definitely Kyrie, his teammate is the queen afterall
TheHeart96 what? Bron's the queen when Durant couldnt even bench 185 at the combine and Curry looks to be in stage 2 of puberty? Bron and Kyrie clearly are tougher and more physical than those two softies
Steph all day why? Chef Curry can take the team to a finals game and can shoot better! Don't forget is a 2 time MVP Unanimous
@William Dudley LMAO DO YOU EVEN WATCH NBA LMAO
@William Dudley HE LED THEM TO THE FINALS FOR 2 YEARS
@William DudleyWTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
THEY DIDNT HAVE KD
ON 2014-2016 SO CURRY LED THEM
SHUT YOU DUMB ASS UP NIGGA
PLUS THE EXCUSE OF HAVING 4 ALLSTARS IS BULLSHIT CUZ I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE 2014-2016 SEASON WHICH CURRY WON 2MVPS
@William Dudley and also
3 of golden states allstars were drafted BY THEM so u cant use that excuse
@William Dudley you're so dumb smh
Marcellus doesn't know basketball 4 years ago steph took the spurs to 6 games in the second round with David lee as his second best player. Also bad contract? The 2x MVP is still on that 4 year 44 million dollar deal but let's just spew bullshit because we can right?
it isn't spewing bullshit he's exactly right lol, 4 years ago was the 2013 season, it was the first season steph was actually able to play and be healthy for most of it, because for his first 3 years (drafted in 2009 playing to 2012) he had shitty ankles and it was a huge question if he was even going to be able to play much longer in the league or not, no one thought he'd be as good as he is right now lmao, that's why his contract Is only $11m per year in the first place, they didn't wanna risk paying him big money if he couldn't stay on the court. Being the best pg in the league though now (between him and russ imo) he'll def get that max contract, and he deserves it too, he's the type of player that can be elite for a long time because his game doesn't rely on athleticism, he's a sniper with crazy handles. but what Marcellus said isn't inaccurate
that being said he was also dick riding kyrie who isn't even a top 6 pg in the league
Kenan Ford notice how that moron doesn't address Durant being 4 years younger than LeBron too
Yo David Lee got hurt game 1 against the nuggets so David Lee wasn't even there
+ C Note Probably because Lebron is 32 and at the tail end of his prime while Durant is at the peak of his? wtf lmao.
Steph is better. Kyrie has no impact if he doesn't score. Steph's presence on the court alone has an incredible impact. Kyrie doesn't make plays for anyone other than himself which makes his impact minimal.
Ben2bwild curry is better but if curry doesn't score he doesn't effect the game either lmao from a bron fan
Unkown Bih i can elaborate, Ben was saying even if curry doesn't make a shot but he's such a deadly shooter and has great off ball movement that he is able to break down the defense just by running to the arc. KD had about 3 clear lane transition dunks just because curry pulled the defense away from the paint.
Ben2bwild Kyrie isnt uncle drew for no reason
Unkown Bih he just shot like crap last game if not getting so many foul calls for the first time in his career and he just dropped a triple double on the defending champs. Steph draws double teams on and off the ball and gets his teammates involved lol Kyrie is just an iso dribbler who was irrelevant before LeBron
So what is the reason he is Uncle Drew?
There was a lot of talk after last year's finals. Kyrie is an incredible one on one player. He has the best handles, but he can't lead a team. He has never shouldered the responsibility of taking a team all the way. Kyrie has zero pressure because Lebron assumes all of it. Kyrie without Lebron would just be higher ppg. Assists, rebounds, steals would be about the same.
Luan Nguyen The kid has only been in the league for a couple of years, just give him some time. He already has his own damn shoe, we'll just see how far he'll go.
CrypticLunatic a couple of years? He was the number draft in 2011. No one was saying give him a couple of years when he was killing it in last year's finals. No denying his offensive talents though.
when did curry carry a team by himself, 2015 and up he had a championship team just like kyrie and both made the finals
ok.
You don't know what you're talking about, Kyrie Irving is pretty much the only reason that Cavs team won one of there championships, lebron can't win the finals without Kyrie
This isn't a debate lmao. Curry has been the best PG in the world for 3 years now.
Steph CurrGoat #2017FinalsMVP facts
Steph CurrGoat #2017FinalsMVP curry has the benifit of not having to guard kyrie
Steph CurrGoat #2017FinalsMVP I agree, but KD is winning the FMVP.
plus kryie can't and never carried a team to the playoffs or won the chip by him self like curry did ..
MrCash415 did you just say curry won that chip by himself?
I am a cavs fan . Honestlly Curry is much better and he is proving that in this finals . Kyrie is playing like Worst than average pg in this series ... LeBron cant win all by himself... Sry for my bad english
Thank you for being reasonable.
Kostas Karandinos Omg thanks cavs fan (Im a warriors fan)
A Cavs fan with knowledge.
It should've never been a conversation. Kyrie is the best ISO guy in the league. He cooks everyone. Doesn't mean his all around game is even close
He don't cook John Wall
hyperbole on my part. but an we agree he's the best iso guy in the league at the least
kd is the best iso player in the nba by far
This is indeed, very disrespectful to Steph. He's in the mix with bigger fish than Kyrie.
Steph is one of the top 3 players in the game.
Kyrie hovers around the 10-13 spot depending on what kind of day he's having. He isn't on that Bron/Steph/KD level yet.
julian bryant Kyrie is more like 17-20 level
julian bryant I can easily name 15 players better than kyrie
Gamelover Do it 👀
I agree. If Kyrie was indeed what they say he is, well he would be among the players shining in the series right now, but he isn't the ones that play well we all know them: KD, Lebron and Steph who by the way had a triple double in game two
that's not what happened last year tho
This might possibly be the dumbest question.... Kyrie has never been better than Steph lol
*Edited......why did you really think that one through?
Reaper
What's wrong with editing? Dont be a dipshit
Adam Leon "like"
Victor Espiritu are u stupid
Fuck yea he's better than curry.. the only problem is that he has to go against fucking Klay Thompson on offense and then chase curry on defense with all the pussy picks that they set. Put curry on kyrie and lets see what happens.. at least kyrie has the balls to defend curry.
Imagine being dumb enough to think Kyrie is anywhere near Steph.
I remember seeing a poll on twitter recently that had kyrie over steph 52% to 48%. I couldn't believe it, it's a disgrace.
sadsheep Just people hating on Steph. No person with a brain should think they are in the same stratosphere.
Isaiah Spencer nigga did u just say system player lol you funny as hell if u believe. That dude was already averaging more than 20 points and taking his team to the playoff with David lee being the 2nd best player nigga David Leeeeeee.
Isaiah Spencer he did all of that way before Steve Kerr system. Nigga u funny
Kyrie crossed the fuck out on steph whole finals last year and drilled a game winner on his face, an now that cavs are outmatched your gonna pull a "nowhere near steph" comment?
FINALLY! THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THIS! kyrie has never won on his own! 4 yrs ago curry could still carry his team and the warriors were still exciting back then. is kyrie not injury prone? curry has always shown to make his team better.. kyrie has never done that!
David T yup. Kyrie is a scoring point guard
David T im not saying kyrie is better than steph , but watch how kyrie gonna lead his team to the finals this year
Shariff Barak in 2013 curry carried gsw to the second round 🤨

@@shomoy7396 Kyrie tried to be the man in Boston how many Chip they won?
Steph came in the league 6 years ago. Kyrie came in 5. He may be younger but both play similar and both rely on knowledge and skill vs athleticism so in essence both have the same pros and cons minus a few smaller details. Comparing the 2 is not beyond comparison if we are actually contrasting the level of play but years and all of that other shit don't matter. Steph is better
are u saying curry was drafted only one year ahead of kyrie?
cf1147 curry was two years ahead of kyrie, not one
Kyrie is the MOST skilled NBA player rn
Curry gets injured for 1 SEASON, and y’all act like he was never the best PG in the league when he used to play.
Also he most defiantly isn’t the most skilled NBA player right now. He wasn’t even in the MVP race.
@@pezdispenser4177 I’m a fan of curry but I’ve always thought Kyrie was the most skilled player in the nba, he has the best handles, he can shoot pretty good, and his finishing is INSANE, probably just as good as his handles, I know curry is an amazing player but I think that kyrie is very underrated, and it’s probably because he is super short which makes things even harder for him
AzekxΨ Sure, but there are players better than both of them in the league rn. People like Luka and Lebron who are very skilled.
AzekxΨ Skilled from your opinions perspective sure. But KD is the most skilled player all around. The man is great at everything same with Lbj.
I love how Max said at the last part when the other dude said Kyrie outplayed Curry last year and Max said "an injured Steph"
Right he slid it in there
Cavs barely won against a hurt warriors team last year what the hell you think was going to happen against a healthy warriors team finals been over with before it even started
Kiara kemp cavs fan are butt hurt
Kiara kemp Kyrie doesn't think the Earth is flat. (I'm not a Cavs fan I just hate the warriors)
nino MT actually there are a lot of A's fans in the bay who despise the giants so...
Kiara kemp. I'm glade u said that the only reason y they suspended Green last year cause they knew gs was goin wen in game 5
goofies dont kno wtf they b talkin bout jus runnin mouth Warriors signed kd bitch azz cus they didnt want to play against him n he wanted a easy ring zaza hurt kawhi cus he givin golden state hell btw kyrie better dan curry stop makin excuses from last year chokin 3-1 goofys
SWEEP CITY BITCH!!!
Yo Mammas Boo haha. Short and sweet.
Luan Nguyen 😜
Yo Mammas Boo I'm hoping for 5 games just to see warriors win at home but if it's sweep then at least we can see cavs fans disappointed 🙂
Fat Cock Me too. I'm not sure what I want more a competitive finals or the embarrassment for the Cavs stans eating crow after getting swept. I think I prefer the sweep.lol
Yo Mammas Boo W
I'm a cavs fan and I never understood why this was an argument. Curry is literally one of the all time great shooters of course he is better. And kyrie is kind of ass at running the offense and distributing.
Look at Kyrie with Boston now. The debate is absolutely not over
N A S S E R Kyrie isn't even the main reason why Celtics are so good.
ALRIGHT GUYS
Who's joining the Cavs this offseason?
Curry>Kyrie except for Clutch factor
Handles too
No one. They're like $40 million over the cap
Paul George for sure lol
Obviously cp3 signing for the vet min lol
Never want to hear this comparison ever again after this finals win.
People were saying kriye was better in 2016,
@@cenanation123456 Not anymore kyrie is trash when he got swept by his former team going to the finals
@@cenanation123456 then they're casual curry wins 2 mvp before that 2016 finals
As a Cavs fan.. this is pretty ridiculous. Kyrie is amazing, no doubt. Arguably the greatest handles ever & top 3 toughest 1 on 1 player ever. But he's no Steph. He's very childish in his game & hasn't grown out of the street mixtape mindset. He forgets this is the NBA finals. Little to no impact at all.
Shotgun Sugar not even top 20 one on one
Kyries better
Milton Flores you’re stupid
@@miltonflores3839 4 years later Kyrie still the same Kyrie
Kyrie is great. Awesome player for sure. Steph Curry is the best point guard in the NBA. This is not a debate.
Westbrook is actually the best POINT GUARD. Curry is the best player at the pg position but Curry isn't a better POINT GUARD than Westbrook
Elijah D. Davis why isn't he a better PG?
Elijah D. Davis How is Curry less of a point guard than Russ? Steph is a better passer and has a betterr handle. He's a modern day Nash.
nope, theres a reason why okc is only a first round contender team...

This discussion aged well hahaha
This question shouldn't exist.....Kyrie can't touch curry. Curry is already a legend and will be in the hall of fame. DISRESPECTFUL!!!!!!!
altheawalk so will Kyrie, CUT IT OUT!!!
1980starjustice ok you're right and I agree kyrie is good! But curry is a force of his own.... do you watch basketball?
altheawalk yea man-of course I watch ball.....I grew up in the 80's and witnessed magic, bird and Jordan and their prime!!! Grew up in NY and attended all the Rucker Park summer games in the 90's....I done seen the best of the best come thru......and played high school ball JV and varsity with a guy named Ben Gordon who would go on to play for Uconn and become 6th man of the year for the Chicago bulls.....I know a "little somn' about ball ya know!
2 time mvp and a player who shoots from everywhere. Curry all day
Kyrie should be compared to John Wall or Kemba Walker not Curry or maybe even Westbrook.
Marcellus "4 years ago who was Steph? An injury prone, bad contract player.."
Steph's stats from 4 seasons ago: 24/8/4 on 47/42/88, played in 78 games and made an All-Star team
This dude shouldn't speak on the NBA.
4-23 without lebron
This show without Stephen a Smith is depressing. I wish he was back. Prayers go out to his family thou.
Curry at 25 years old: 23 ppg 4 rpg 7 apg. The season before he played less than 30 games and had two surgeries. 2012-13 he had the averages above leading the team to 2nd round of playoffs with David Lee as his second best player. Kyrie at 25: 25,3,5 with LeBron as his teammate. There's shouldn't be a discussion on who's better. Currys a better passer, shooter, rebounder, and leader. Kyrie is a better ball handler and is more athletic, that's it.
Kyrie is a pure scorer, nothing more, nothing less. If he doesn't score 20+ points in a game, he disappears. Whereas Curry impacts the game on so many levels, for example:
- He spaces the floor like no other player can, players respect his shot enough to contest it at the logo mark.
- He averages 5+ reb and 6+ assists.
I could go on, but Curry is clearly the better players right now.
Four years ago Steph broke the record for most threes in a season what record did Kyrie break.
Josh Miles ankles
Riyad Khan lmaoooo thats funny asf. But curry better tho nuff said
Josh Miles stfu that was 2 years ago
really.....Curry has ALWAYS been better....like Curry is already in the hall of fame, and is the best shooter of all time. Kyrie doesn't even understand that legendary status!!!
Did Max say Kyrie will probably eventually pass Curry? WTF?
That GW 3 was disrespectful too 😂
Steph is a better shooter, rebounder, playmaker and defender (eventhough they're both not good defenders) than kyrie, this isn't even a debate curry is already a top 7 or so pg in history
The only time kyrie will be a better player is when he is in his mid 30s and steph is about to retire
I'm not disrespecting kyrie though he is obviously a great player
Michael R. Curry is a better defender than given credit for.
I agree except I think Irving is a slightly better defender.
CinemaGrave Curry has led the league in steals in 2015 and 2016, a leader in rebounds this finals, are we gonna pretend its not part of defense? What did Kyrie led so far in defensive area? None?
I was referring to on-ball defense, which I'll revise by saying that they're roughly the same in that area. Curry's a better defender overall based on off-ball stats like steals, etc. as you mentioned.
Kyrie had a great finals but Curry is on another level! Congrats, you outplayed an injured Curry..Curry is the MAN while Kyrie is 2nd fiddle to Curry. Kyrie will never win an MVP nor will he ever be on the level of Curry. I think Kyrie will become the best player in 4 years but he won't pass Curry as the better PG. Let's see how Kyrie does with King James. Curry proved he could win a chip without KD, can Kyrie come close with James?
The disrespect for Stephen Curry from these media people is just crazy
that was 6-7 years ago actually. He's been pretty much healthy since then except for the finals last year.
Steph is better than Kyrie one Finals performance doesn't make you an overall better player. People just hopped on the bandwagon last year saying Curry can't handle Kyrie despite the fact Kyrie doesn't play defense either and definitely can't defend Steph
Daiton then tell me what happened in Game 7 2016 NBA Finals tell me what happened
Daiton I'll rate curry and kyrie the same but curry better at 3 pointers and passing while kyrie is a better ball handler and this is my opinion don't argue with me and also CZcams tried to correct me saying kyrie is lyrie
Jared Adhemar dude it was one shot it doesn't make him better
Madreday Royal your right but Kyrie outplayed Curry in the finals 2016+Kyrie Irving is better fact of life
Jared Adhemar my opinion I rate them the same because they both top 10 pgs
Everyone that saying Curry is better than Kyrie it's not true Kyrie is is better than Steph Curry tell me what happened at game 7 2016 NBA Finals tell me
What about this season?
Kyrie better handles but Steph the better all round player.
Kyrie is nothing without Lebron.

Curry was 26-27 when he carried GSW to it's first championship, Kiyre is 25-26 one year younger then curry was when he was dominating the league with records and mvp menstions,and he still has not proved he can win a game without lebron...has kyrie even been mentioned in any Mvp talks? or even won an MVP yet? don't talk about age and not mention what curry did at the same age Kyrie is now, yes Kyrie is amazing but curry is on another level just like KD and LeBron, i would even put Curry over KD as KD couldn't beat him so had to join to win his first ring, you could argue this was because of Westbrook greed but it's Facts and disrespectful even having this silly debate.
Pencil Freak Not to mention, Curry was 25 when he led the Warriors to the second round of the playoffs and nearly beat the Spurs with Jarret Jack as his second best player (David Lee was injured during the 2013 playoffs)
Judging by viewing about 13 comments I would say 80% of people go with Curry.
Steph had ankle problems holding him back and still led his team to the playoffs without much. Kyrie couldn't make the playoffs and didn't have injury problems holding him back early in his career
Kyrie had an awesome final last year because Steph was injured lol. Kyrie can't keep up great handles but it's obviously CURRY
Lol steph is a proven choker whether healthy or not in 2015 iggy carried his ass gets spanked by delly. Am I the only one who noticed steph is not consistent in the playoffs thats why he doesn't won any fmvp. Kyrie shines in big moments steph carried by his bunch of allstars. Regular steph > playoffs steph.
@Dimitris Solaris why you bring lebrons record its kyrie and steph are only the topic idiot
Never compare Curry to Irving!!!
We all know Curry is the better player period.
The fact that Steph Curry is a true PG and all Kyrie can do is score pretty much closes the case
Kyrie is actually an undersized iso shooting guard. We all know LeBron is the real point guard on the Cavs.
I like Kyrie but on Steph's level? Nah nah nah. Steph is far far far more better than him. There are times one player can outplay the best player. It happens. And it's just a timing it was on finals where Steph was injured and tired. This conversation is nonsense. Talk about this again pls when Kyrie got MVP awards. 😏😉
u r sooooo dumb
They asked this last year and everyone said Kyrie.
Jovon Foster nobody said that
literally, everybody was saying kyrie was better than steph but we really cant make this argument after two games of the nba finals because people are so quick to change their opinion. if kyrie outplays steph games 3 and 4 i guarantee everybody will change their opinon
Blackas Listas yea I know. Kyrie isn't really in a slump right know it's just every time he gets the ball it's either Klay Thompson smothering him or Kd is on him and that is a huge mismatch
Really???Absoloutely It Is Steph
Kyrie & steph both have same # of rings..but Kyrie is one of the best PGs in the world..Steph is one of the best PLAYERS in the world..big difference
not a debate i like kyrie but steph way better. without bron kyrie would always be in the lottery
LegendaryEA L
AU dumb Af what’s happening now
kyrie just beat bronny lmfao
Hold this “L” bro
LegendaryEA look at him now
What was Kyrie after Lebron left? a nobady
Why is this even a fucking question???
Never thought i would agree with Will Cain.
Steph's better, but if he actually guarded Kyrie for an entire game, Kyrie would drop 40 every time. Curry's lucky Klay guards him.
Scott Bennici Lebron doesn't Guard KD and look what happens
Scott Bennici well kyrie guarded curry and he dropped a 30 point triple dub on his head
Abraham Figueroa yea but curry doesn't have to chase Kyrie around all game
Scott Bennici they are both relatively suck at defence
Kyrie never and carried his team to the playoffs and won the chip like curry did
kyrie isn't even better than IT
Or Lillard, Paul, Westbrook, Wall, Westbrook, Harden. He's ranked 8th on my best PG in the league.
Curry is the best PG in the NBA right now. Period. I don't wanna hear about this Westbrook, Kyrie nonsense because they're both good but on the level Curry's at.
The only ones that put Kyrie over Curry is people that despise him. He hits a few shots over him and all of a sudden he's better, gimme a break. Curry is one of the best off the ball player and unselfish, doesn't need to rely on isolations.
kyrie has better handles steph is just a better shooter.
And passer and demand more attention on offense. Curry has Kyrie beat
how old are you moron
Tommy Spartan this might the realest statement I've heard
So we just gunna ignore the fact that Curry never guards elite pgs? If curry gaurds kyrie everytime, kyrie would be feasting.
Felix Pitts vice versa kyrie guarded curry and dropped a 30 point triple double
Felix Pitts and your acting like Kyrie guards elite pgs. The only pg Kyrie attempts to guard is IT
Az Nigga do you watch the games?
Yeah, and Kyrie doesn't guard elite pg's. J.R and Iman does.
Felix Pitts neither does kyrie. Do you watch basketball?!
This is probably maxs work take ever
they both great on defence
Why US sports media is so obsessed with who's better?
As a Cavs fan. lets be honest Curry has outplaying Kyrie during these finals
Then there's the one guy in the background wearing a Lakers jersey 'fuck I thought this was Steph vs Kobe'
I love kyrie but i really hate it when people say that he's better than steph. Steph is a top 2 point guard in the world right now and kyrie's not even top 5
i don't even why it's a conversation... Kyrie is a really good player, but Curry is way better
All I know is based on the play in these Finals, don't put just Durant on the Finals MVP. It should be CO-MVP, cause Curry balling.
This not even a dicussion anymore💀😂
Yea this shouldn't even be a discussion lol
4 years ago, Steph Curry led the 6th seeded Warriors to an upset over the 3rd seeded Nuggets then challenged the Spurs to 6 games but eventually lost to them. Please shut up Marcellus.
Curry been clear since day 1 imagine if he never had ankle issues
The one with 2 MVP's and more than 1 All-NBA team selection. Next question.
Who Does It When It Count????
Lets Go Cavs
Yeah Kyrie really showed up this year. Did you see that clutch shot he made in game 5? His scoring in the 4th quarter is insane! 0-6 in a NBA Finals close out game? #2CLUTCH4ME
You know Stephen A's presence is not felt when Will Cain's the loudest and proudest in the room.
it really depends on how you want to build your team Steph is a floor stretcher and Kyrie is more of a penetrator granted Steph is an amazing penetrator as well but then Kyrie is an amazing shooter as well it just really comes down to who's style you like with all that said to me you can't go wrong with either they are both champions for a reason
Its ok warrior fans the media just reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaalllllyyyyyyyy wants these two to be rivals. Steph is lightyears ahead of kyrie. Kyrie without lebron - no wins, Steph without KD - 73-9
Bro Kylie can destroy curry in a 1v1 also can we take a look at the age thing? Like at kyries age was curry that good?? Take a look at the all-time career instead of current
JUAN Hernandez And even if Kyrie is better than Curry in 1vs1 , it doesn't really matter . They are Point Guard , their goal is to make their teammates better and give an impact in the game , not doing some ISO flashy handle and fancy layup.
Kyrie Irving can't guard Steph curry, Steph curry also can't guard Kyrie Irving
I love how people said steph needs to win a finals MVP when he was close to averaging a triple double in the finals this year, KD was just a monster. If you had to start a franchise would you pick steph or kyrie. Most would pick steph because if his overall ability rather than pure one on one scoring. And for under the rim finishing, don't sleep on curry, he has better percentage scoring under the rim with almost the same amount of shots as kyrie
No debate steph curry is the best point guard ever
They are not even in the same league right now. Curry is a game changer that changed the game of basketball. Kyrie at most is just an excellent all star offensive player at this point.
