Nah.

If I feel I've gotten something right on a certain player/topic I'll gloat and I'll pat my self on the back

Sorry.

I'm sorry you didn't get hugged enough as a child, but this isn't the place to seek therapy. There were all various types of opinions about Kyrie over the prior year. It was very nuanced. It comes off incredibly douchey to a) think you and solely you were right about a topic as oft discussed and as complicated a topic as it has been and b) even if you were solely correct (you weren't), no ones gives a shit if you were right or not. You win no points for being right. In fact, acting like you are in this thread I am certain will only get you perma banned. This site, thankfully, has a higher standard of posting then most. You aren't meeting it and your first ban clearly taught you nothing.
 
Some people went markedly overboard on the "trade Kyrie" front, but let's not pretend that he wasn't all kinds of a bitch last year. I still thought he deserved a max contract on potential alone, but people weren't pissed at him without some merit.

Luckily, LeBron came back and Kevin Love forced a trade here, so things will be better this year.

That's exactly how I felt..and I think a lot of others too.
 
New article on cbs saying LeBron thinks he can become the best PG in the league
 
Rich man's Boobie? I never got that at all. Boobie could barely dribble, definitely could not take his guy off the dribble that even resembles Kyrie at all. Boobie couldn't create his own shot, couldn't create dribble drives at all. All things Kyrie not only does well, but is known for. What the hell do they even have in common as player at all, outside the fact both are pretty good outside shooters? Even their shooting isn't similar at all.

Boobie was a stand still shooter at best, that turn into a pretty pesky defender. Is that seriously what some think Kyrie Irving is, except does everything Boobie did, but better? Boobie's strengths aren't really even Kyrie's!

I see very little, to almost no comparison at all in their styles.

If you don't like Kyrie, at least give a better comparison than Boobie Gibson.

Call him Stevie Francis, which is probably Kyrie's floor or worst case scenario.

Rich man's Boobie is laughably inaccurate.

I believe it is a joke in reference to a comment made by JohnfromVA (or something like that) making that comparison.
 
Irving has shown leadership ability when led by true leaders of the game. You can't fault him for this last year....

Definitely a sarcastic comment referencing the hall of fame arguer JonFromVA who made that statement. I feel badly you wasted the time writing out that response lol.
 
I dont mind if people attack bt it would be nice if they actually supported what they were saying when its all right here on the board.. the chart has been cancelled but anyone can go back and look for themselves if they are really considering the revisionist theories going on here.

i guess with some administrators harping on how often they are right its not surprising some of the newer posters attempting something similar.

I enjoyed seeing Irving play defense and am eager to see if he continues to do so against the higher caliber talent in the NBA.

Overall I thought Griffin did a great job and handling irvings contrt and made sure the question of whether Irving wants to be here was addressed and not allowing Irving to set himself up similar to what lebron did on his first extension
 
Kyrie growing a playoff beard in the summer just shows he's ready to make the leap.
 

Edit: Sorry, still trying to figure out how to embed video.
 
I accidentally opened the first page of this thread and got terrified when I read Kyrie is getting an MRI :dread:

I did the exact same thing just now.

Was like nooooooooooo

Damn new site format
