Demarcus Cousins is the best center in the league.

Reporting for trolling. Expect a PM shortly.

Marbury is a cancer. So it has to be Irving in my book. However, Marbury was more talented and had more skill.

I brought that up and I think it's fitting.

Both players have huge skills in ball handling and creating their own shot, but the often overlook teammates, who could take the space they created and even hoist a better shot. Marbury was a cancer, mentality wise, but so is Iriving game wise. His style is suited for the all star games - ironically the game I remember the best by Marbury was an AS game, too - but not a winning brand of basketball.

Kyrie imo has to shift to SG as Iverson did and feed of a real PG. Doesn't even have to be a good to AS type one. Just a solid player, who shares the ball between the players.

And DMC is the best center in the game right now. I think the WC helped him alot mentally.

Not even close. Demarcus is so much better than Marc it's funny.

Kyrie = less athletic Starbury with hair. Both career losers.

Kyrie is a much better shooter. His handle, craftiness, and finishing ability are just as good too I think, if not better.


Prime Starbury was a beast though.

As of Irving's career right now, give me Steph! Steph was just as good of a scorer. Steph had alpha level scoring ability from the PG. And Steph was a better floor general-dime dropper as well. For a long time, the only two players to average 20 points and 8 assists over a career were Big O and Steph. However, Steph had some subpar seasons at the end that lowered is career averages in the NBA to 19.3 points and 7.6 assists. Still great HOF caliber career averages from the PG spot.
