Some fans are willing to overlook Kyrie's poor defense. I do not. If you think good offense + horrible defense = elite player, then you don't understand what an elite player is.
All-Star Game MVP (Even if he hadn't been voted in as a starter the coaches still would've put him in as a reserve), Starting PG for the 2014 USA Team, Rising Stars Challenge MVP, One of the greatest rookie seasons of all-time and although his next two seasons would be "disappointments' they're nothing to scoff at either. Oh, and not to mention the fact that he's a 22 year old playing on a maximum contract...a signing widely regarded as a no-brainer by executives leaguewide. If a player on a maximum contract shouldn't be considered part of a "Big X" then what type of player should?
Kyrie is already a star player in this league and he has the potential to blossom into a superstar player. He's got the skills, the brand, and the charisma of an NBA star. To say we have a "Big Two" as opposed to a "Big Three" is so ridiculous on so many levels that I'm actually unwilling to debate this any further.
Think what you want but just know that you're wrong.
