Now I ask this question because today at my high school and just around where I live, I asked a lot of people who "supposedly" watch basketball and asked this question.
"Do you think IT is have a better season then Kyrie"?
When I said the IT has been better then him, I got hit with these two arguments:
-
"Kyrie is limited and would be scoring a lot more if he didn't have LBJ and Love and at least he can defend unlike IT."
-
"IT is the only scorer on the Celtics so of course he will have a better year." "If Kyrie played for Boston, he would have better numbers."
PS:When I heard number 2, I giggled because it's funny that people think that we are a one man show.
Now, I don't see the problem with saying that IT is better then Kyrie. He averages more points (29.7>24.2). He averages more assists (6.4>5.8). He shoots at a more efficient rate (54.7%> 52.7%) This is eFG. He has a better true shooting percentage (62.6%>57.1%) He scores more points in the 4th (10.5>6) And he has a higher PER (27.8>21.9)

Is it really that crazy to say that IT is having a better year than Kyrie. ( I hope most people agree here because IT has been unreal).
Can I go even farther and say he is a better player then Kyrie?
