This

[theaussieguy]

honestly statistically Rondo and Lin are the greatest PG's of all time.

KD: 30 ppg on 42% and LeBron 29.7 ppg on 49%

and the hate on this era's big men such as Deandre Jordan continues

[El Gato Negro]

Who really cares which is better? Both are fun to watch.

Westbrook defense is overrated.

Westbrook defense is overrated.
What does that make Kyrie Irving's defense? And the fact that Kyrie swatted the shit outa Curry in the Finals? :oldlol:

Let's face it, the biggest reason the Cavs beat them and OKC did not was because Lebron James vs KD :roll:

Because Kyrie doing the same with Westbrook what he done with Curry, everytime. I don't remember game when Westbrook was actually better than Kyrie when they played againt each other.

[LostCause]

Kyrie is apparently a much better decision maker and more clutch. Better shooter, better handle and can create his own shots better because of it

Westbrook is more consistent and disruptive overall and can fill up a stat sheet like few can.

I don't think there's much of a gap between them, but not ready to say Irving is better at this moment. Maybe after he takes another step forward next season as far as consistency

:facepalm

[bdreason]

I don't think Irving or Westbrook can win a championship as the best player. And I think Irving is a better 2nd or 3rd option on a championship team. So, if you're interested in winning championships, I'd take Irving.

It's a similar argument for Klay vs Harden. Harden may be a superior all-around player, but you'll never win a championship if he's your best player. On the other hand, Klay is a much better 2nd or 3rd option, so if you're really interested in winning a championship, he's the better option.

[greatest-ever]

No he is not. He's arguably a better scorer, but Westbrook kills him at everything else.

[FireDavidKahn]

Westbrook defense is overrated.
And Irving is one of the worst PG defenders in the league, so:confusedshrug:
