Why do Kobe stans HYPE Kyrie?

[StrongLurk]

Kyrie's always played in the Eastern conference as well. I guess everything he's done doesn't "count" right? So what's with all the Kobe stans hyping him?

Just trying to understand the logic here.

yeah why would anyone hype the guy

The answer to “why do Kobe stans do [x]”

Is always

“They’re mad LeBron is better than Kobe”

[PickernRoller]

Trying to understand OP's motivation for opening the thread since according to the LeTard bible Kyrie was a nobody who barely contributed to Lebron's success and thus isn't somone to lose sleep about?

Umm..... what could the real reason be.

Knocked out the Warriors with a game-winner...in a game 7.

That's a WEST team in case you were wondering.

So you hype the 2nd option but not the first option?

That logic on it's own doesn't make any sense.

Are you also saying that Kyrie was better than Kobe was in the 2000-2004 finals?

He brings the same things to the table Kobe did.
Skills
high scoring games
clutch shots (kobe in the regular season, kyrie in the finals)
and robin rings (and sometimes alfred rings in kobes case - see 2000 finals)

So naturally we're drawn to him. Also why most of us like Curry.

They've been stanning Kawhi, KD, Kyrie, Curry,, etc.. Bunch of clueless retards. That's why.

So you agree that everything that happens in the East counts then? You are stepping out of line with the other Kobe stans.

Here is what you said describing Kyrie, I know you have a bad memory.

Just like how Pau was the first option and Fisher was the 2nd option in '09 and '10, while Brick was getting his in garbage time? Gotcha. :cheers:

It is super rare to see anyone here hyping Kyrie. You see the opposite a lot, but most people seem to have him as fringe top 10 current players or just a touch below that.

Find me someone that has him in the top 4 or 5.

kyrie was the 2nd option overall. but during the most important moments he was the focal point

kyrie averaged basically 30ppg for the 2016 finals


you can actually make an argument for him


you cant for gasol

[elementally morale]

I really liked Kyrie even as a rookie. He is entertaining.

Sure he has a crazy amount of talents, as much style as substance, which is pretty rare, givien how much some guys propel themselves (cough, John Wall, cough)

Only knock against Kyrie is when he sometimes shift to Tunnel vision, looking like...Well...

[Celtics 1825]

Because they'll do anything to dismiss LeBron

With that being said though, Kyrie is still an amazing player and LeBron woudn't have been able to win in 2016 without his help.
