Post their finals stats.

Gasol


Without his inside/out game


LA would of never pulled Dwight away from the paint

[CTbasketball92]

Kyrie I think played limited minutes this year recovering from his injury and never found his touch entirely until about april.

Pau was a bad, bad man.

[Lebronxrings]

Gasol is a top 5 PF of all time. Him easily

[Bigsmoke]

Kyrie but the Lakers had the easiest road to the championship ever

[Awesomedoers]

Irving essentially won them the series and was one of the people to engineer the cavs comeback...so him.

Come on now, Gasol wasn't all that.

He was an all star but no superstar or anything like that

Yeah it's different with guards I guess. Honestly, the version of Kyrie that showed up in the playoffs was pretty much a superstar. I don't quite remember how good pau was and I'm not sure how to compare it. I guess the guard equivalent would be like getting 18 points and 8 assists on good percentages and with good defense.

Where as Kyrie was just an average defender but truly elite offense.

Kyrie had one of the GOAT sequences EVER. From game 3 to game 6 (Clev 3-1). He put up:

31.0 ppg, 52 % fg, 48% 3 pt fg.

36.3 ppg, 11.7 rpg, 9.7 apg, 3.0 spg, 3.0 bpg, 50.6 FG%


These nikkas gave it their all :bowdown:

[Gougou]

Kyrie srs, he is more important to a team, without a decent PG its hard to run the ball.

What did LeBron average through the same sequence?

Kyrie but the Lakers had the easiest road to the championship ever

It wasn't the easiest.

Go look at some of the Showtime Lakers' runs to the finals.

GOAT level sh't. Everyone knows that. But what few recognize is the GOAT sh't level Kyrie was on.

30 Ppg over 4 games is GOAT?



That happens 4-5 times every playoffs

That's not even close to being better than LBJ's final 3 games.:oldlol:

Better shooting, more efficient scorer . Championship winning shot. 41 on 70% from the field, 71% from three . 12 points in the 4th. 16 pts in the series changing game 3 1st quarter> padded stats

That's why LBJ padded stats granted him the FMVP?

Lebron won that shit anonymously. Stop pretending to be some basketball exports for thinking differently

Big Smoke is unanimously an idiot.

So is anyone else who was would take Pau over Kyrie.

We are talking about a former number one pick who got drafted 1st overall despite being injured the majority of his only year in college.


Pau's impact on both ends of the floor is VERY underrated on these boards, but to take him over a player of Kyrie's caliber is on the same level as Bucks picking Thon Maker 10th overall.

Anyone who chooses Pau is a troll.
