I never knew he was already that old just turned 27 today but considering Irving is 22 still that is a huge spread in age. Seemed like they were close to same age as they been in league around the same amount of time but now looks like Irving has the Longest window as he is still a few years from his prime while Curry is smack in the middle of his. With that news I would definitely take Irving over Steph considering time he is 27 Curry will be 32 or 2 years older that current Lebron right now.

Nice, but age doesnt automatically mean you get better, some players peak earlier. And I expect Curry to still be relevant for a long time since he doesn't rely on athleticism.
Bottom line i'm not sure there will ever be a time when Kyrie is better than Steph

He is arguably better right now.. :confused shrug: Probaably a more complete scorer. Curry a little better passer at this point and its a wash on Defense.

No need to respond to trolls like Dubeta. But Kyrie certainly isnt arguably better than Curry.

I think Curry and Irving are in the same tier. His team is winning because they have a better coaching system, and they were deeper than the Cavaliers before the Mozgoz-Smith-Shumpert trade.

Kyrie will fade pretty quickly, noone likes to admit it but his game is a lot like D Rose. He is noway near explosive but he is blazing fast and very smooth and able to get to the rim Just like a prime Rose. Its too extraordinary and we have come to learn anything of that intensity in basketball just will not last. It takes only half a lost step for that sort of game to totally become redundant and he won't be 22 forever.
He is an amazing shooter though so he can remain a top PG for years to come assuming he starts to use his craftiness and ball control for assisting others rather than scoring, which will only break down his body.

:biggums:
You're forgetting that Kyrie relies less on athleticism (although he's still very agile) and more on crafty moves. He gets into the paint with his crafty handles and pumps fakes through the D to get his layups, rarely dunking.
Aaaandd his jumper is wet, career 38% from 3. Not afraid of the clutch.

Curry actually was able to lead a team to the playoffs. Also led them to a playfs series win.
When I was defending Love back in Minnesota, people were claiming that he couldn't be compared to Blake, LMA cause of his lack of playoffs experience.
Age or nah, do not compare him to Curry. It's not the same league. + He plays with the best player in the league. Life is easier for him. Curry is the better scorer, the more consistent, the better PG, the better player.\

There's no argument here
His teams are "almost always winning" as opposed to, what? Kyrie Irving?
The comparison of their first few years isn't really a fair one, considering Curry came into the league at 21 and Irving didn't turn 21 until his third season in the league (last year).
But, even going by that measure, Curry's Warriors and Irving's Cavaliers in their respective first three years had a lot in common in terms of winning or lack thereof.
Curry was drafted in 2009.
Warriors 2009-10: 26-56
Warriors 2010-11: 36-46
Warriors 2011-12: 23-43
By that point, Curry was already 24 years old... a full two years older than Irving is right now. And, the Warriors hadn't done much winning up to that point.
It's easy after a few years of being on good basketball teams to forget how a guy's career began. I remember the Golden State crowds publicly booing the newly hired GM for trading Monta Ellis. They were accused of one of the most obvious tank-jobs of the last decade or so in 2012, and this obviously happened while Curry was on the team.
A couple years ago, people would have laughed if you brought Curry's name up at the top of the PG rankings. He really didn't start to gain a ton of traction in that debate until sometime last season... his fifth in the NBA.
Now, it's a given that he's going to be talked about in that class, and amongst the best players in the league. That goes to show you how quickly consensus can change for a player.
As much as his detractors dislike the idea, as long as Irving continues performing at a high level on a winning basketball team, his name will continue to surface and gain momentum when being compared to the other best players in the league at his position.
He's 22 years old and he has the two highest scoring games in the NBA this year. That's pretty remarkable. Right now, he is as explosive a scorer as there is in the NBA, period.

So what to the bold. I'm not sure that is even true, but since when did popular opinion carry so much weight? Especially when popular opinion is pretty much just wrong on just about every issue.
2 years ago Curry was a 23/4/7 59% TS dude that was the best player on a team that almost won 50 games in the West iirc.
I'm not going to get into this Curry vs Kryie thing because I don't care, but this notion that Curry "got good" last year or something is absurd. He made the leap in 13 and while he's definitely kept on improving...the dude was a stud a couple years ago already...doesn't matter what dumb ass average fan was saying.

Kyrie is doing exactly what is being asked of him. He is playing a different role in Cleveland than Curry is in Golden State. He also still manages to accumulate 5+ assists per game... essentially the same number as Curry through his first three seasons in the NBA.
Speculating on where Irving will end up when he is 27-28 years old (five years down the line) seems to me to be rather silly... the same way it would have been silly to pigeonhole Curry a few years back. But, hey... to each his own.

Because, to me, this is all about popular opinion. I've been touting Kyrie's talents for three years. He wasn't in a situation or on a team where he could really thrive, but his ability has frankly been very apparent since he stepped foot on an NBA floor.
This thread is reads to me like, "Holy sh!t, I just realized this guy is this young and he's already this good..."
It feels like people are starting to catch up to what I've been saying for years. And, I don't expect that people would have realized how good he is. He was on a poor team and very few people were watching, just like what was probably the case in Curry's first three years in Golden State. I don't think he just suddenly became really good, but he did suddenly become a part of the national media and general fans' consciousness as, hey... this guy is one of the best in the world at what he does.
That's the point.

I don't see why he has to be dominant in the way that Curry is dominant. Again, we shouldn't be trying to pigeonhole these guys. Kyrie now has a 55 point and a 57 point game this season. Maybe he won't be a 26/8 type player. Maybe, a few years from now, he'll be a 30/5 type player? Who knows?
If he's dominating and the team is winning, what's the difference how exactly it is being done?

Lets set this straight: Curry has been a really good player since he was a rookie. He averaged 18/6/5 on 46% shooting in his rookie year, and 19/6/4 on 48% the next year, and then he eventually made the jump to elite status.
Oh, and he is NOT injury prone at all. I have no idea where this myth came from. He missed a bunch of games in the lockout year because he came back too soon from an ankle injury. That's it. He's been very durable outside of that year.

I don't understand what it's in reference to... Who said Steph wasn't a good player out of the gates? That's a bit of a strawman.
We're comparing two players. Since those players are not contemporaries of one another, there is usually an attempt to set some kind of parameters when looking at the numbers, how good their teams were, etc.
This discussion is about perception more than how good the players are/were, imo. It took some time for your average fan to start to truly appreciate how good Curry was/is. I think you're beginning to see the same process with Kyrie.
If you light up the league long enough, people are bound to take notice. It takes a little longer for some players than others. It really has nothing to do with their merits on a basketball court and everything to do with people's appreciation of it.

I was just agreeing with the post dude.
I already responded to you...and agreed with what you said.
And I think with Kyrie...we've know pretty much all along how super talented he is. I question whether he can improve his toughness and defense enough to make me not worry about tough playoff games and what that will do to him....at least right now.
I have no idea how to project his future. He's already a great offensive player...

Myth was born during his sophomore season where he rolled his ankle like 12 times, first one, being the worst one, during preseason. He chose not to miss many games but ankle Never healed correctly and required offseason surgery.
The lockout season, They sat him just to be safe, and to tank. Mainly to tank. He could have easily came back after keeping off of it a few days. That second surgery was to clean up some scar tissue, nothing more.
Curry is durable. People got it twisted because that 2011 season, but even with that busted ankle, he hardly missed games. although when playing he was 70-80% a lot of the time.

Kyrie will fade pretty quickly, noone likes to admit it but his game is a lot like D Rose. He is noway near explosive but he is blazing fast and very smooth and able to get to the rim Just like a prime Rose. Its too extraordinary and we have come to learn anything of that intensity in basketball just will not last. It takes only half a lost step for that sort of game to totally become redundant and he won't be 22 forever.
He is an amazing shooter though so he can remain a top PG for years to come assuming he starts to use his craftiness and ball control for assisting others rather than scoring, which will only break down his body.
He doesn't play like Rose even a tiny bit.

Kyrie might be my new favourite player ..scary how good he could become
Could become? Curious how much more do you think he has before he maxes out? What's scary to me is he's reached a very high level so early and we could be seeing him maintain for most of the next 10 years.

Damn, LeBron and Jordan were probably the only players to have a teammate outscore them in a month that few times in their career

I'm actually pretty curious if Jordan was ever outscored in a month. Seems unlikely to me :lol Don't really remember if Pippen was that hot

Myth was born during his sophomore season where he rolled his ankle like 12 times, first one, being the worst one, during preseason. He chose not to miss many games but ankle Never healed correctly and required offseason surgery.
The lockout season, They sat him just to be safe, and to tank. Mainly to tank. He could have easily came back after keeping off of it a few days. That second surgery was to clean up some scar tissue, nothing more.
Curry is durable. People got it twisted because that 2011 season, but even with that busted ankle, he hardly missed games. although when playing he was 70-80% a lot of the time.
This. Curry also is capable of playing big minutes (38 & 36 per game the last couple years) contrary to popular belief... he just hasn't had to this year since the Warriors tend to blow teams out quickly.

I'd be very surprised if he was outscored in a month by a teammate during his Bulls tenure. While he was in Washington Jerry Stackhouse outscored him a few times (3 months, I think) in 2002-2003 but Jordan also outscored him a few times. The important thing to consider is that Stackhouse was 28, Jordan was 39.

Ah yes, should've clarified that myself. To me Jordan's Wizard days didn't exist :oldlol:

When Irving is 32 years old he wont be moving around like this.

I looked a bit closer at their monthly splits during Jordan's Bulls tenure, Pippen never beat him in scoring for a month (at least based off of what I saw). He was able to get within 5 points of him a few times but it was never closer than that.

Kyrie plays nothing like Rose, and you know, actually plays in basketball games. He also acts like he cares about playing basketball, whereas Rose has said the exact opposite. :facepalm
Also, Kyrie could become a superstar, if not for LeBron. You know Bron Bron is salty and all passive aggressive since Kyrie is stealing the spotlight.
Fit out not fit in, Kyrie.
