    He was a nice prospect but he was essentially handed the keys last season and didn't really do much with it. If you're THAT good, you will figure it out.

    Kobe didn't force him to be anemic on defense or trip over his feet and the ball. He's still young and might turn out to be a good player but I think it's an exaggeration that the Lakers did him some huge disservice. Hasn't seemed to hinder Clarkson, Randle, or Nance's development into nice pieces.

    If Bron leaves again I wouldn't blame Kyrie for leaving. Clearly he wants to win championships now and I can't imagine him being the "man" on a s--- team like he was before. Tbh I still think LeBron stays. But I really like what the Lakers are doing, I hope they do well, I always had a soft spot in my heart for the Lakers lol

    Max is 100% right, Melo comparison is perfect. Melo at least has size and rebounds the ball. Was also a much better defender, specifically in Denver, than Kyrie has ever been.

    Kyrie gets the shine because he's flashy, had the Uncle Drew commercials, and obviously plays next to Bron, but he's probably slightly overrated.

    Give me Curry, Russ, CP3, Wall, Dame, Conley, maybe even Kemba over him.

    Just saw the Nets have the 22nd pick too, pretty amazing the Lakers couldn't even get that instead of the 27th pick they got instead.

    Idk about kemba but yeah I agree.

    It's baffling when I see people rank Kyrie as a top 10 NBA player or the best of in the NBA.

    23.2 PPG / 5.5 APG / 3.9 RPG / 44% FG / 39% 3PFG / 84% FT / 2.1 TO / 21.41 PER
    VS
    25.2 PPG / 5.9 APG / 3.2 RPG / 47% FG / 40% 3PFG / 90% FT / 2.5 TO / 23.09 PER

    Kemba vs Kyrie is definitely debatable and I wouldn't hold it against anybody if you took Kyrie. Both are clutch. Kemba is a better defender on top of making the playoffs with Marvin Williams and MKG as his 2nd and 3rd best players.

    Kyrie is sub .500 when daddy is out with 0 playoff appearances until he came home.

    Really not as crazy as it sounds. If Kemba was playing with Bron he'd be talked about the same way ppl talk about Kyrie.

    Also Conley is a G. Puts up similar offensive numbers while also being the best PG defender in the league not named Patrick Beverley.

    Big Shot took the Cavs GM job according to Ice Cube

    Ice Cube isn't even a tiny bit upset his BIG3 player/coach Chauncey Billups is leaving the BIG3 for a front office job with the Cleveland Cavs ... telling TMZ Sports the league is SUPPOSED to be a pipeline back to the NBA.

    Cube is in NYC where he's gearing up for opening day -- THIS WEEKEND -- and we asked which BIG3 team is the favorite to win it all.

    That's when Cube brought up Chauncey ... and maybe broke some news?!

    "It was the Killer 3's (led by Chauncey and Stephen Jackson) for a minute but since Chauncey took that job, it might change."

    It's been reported that Chauncey's in talks with the Cavs -- but nothing has been confirmed publicly ... at least not yet.

    Cube also talked Allen Iverson -- telling TMZ Sports the NBA legend has been working out like crazy and he's "ready to go."

    Kyrie is putting up those numbers as a 2nd option on a team with 2 other all-stars, one being LeBron...

    Kemba is nice don't get me wrong, but he's a tier 2 PG while Kyrie is tier 1.

    I also wanna see it become the norm to call Harden a point guard too haha. He officially switched positions w/ D'Antoni.
