Neither Klay nor Draymond have ever been as good as Kyrie and AD. Draymond has never been as good as Kevin love even. Intact the both of them cannot compare to westbrook (Whatever you think of him).
Doubt me, check the list of the Top 75 players in NBA history, Steph has one ex teammate on that list. Lebron has 3 abi na 4sef....

Lol. You go just rush come here come defend your man even if your defense is unreasonable. You say Draymond was not as good as Kevin Love? Try to be sincere in your life for once na.

Draymond's achievements from 2015 to 2018: 3x all-star, 2x all-NBA team, 1x DPOY, 4x all-defensive team, 1x steals leader

Kevin Love's achievements from 2015 to 2018: 2x all-star.

Now let's even do Klay vs Kyrie

Klay from 2015 to 2018: 4x all-star, 2x all-NBA

Kyrie from 2015 to 2018: 3x all-star, 1x all-NBA.

It's like you've quickly forgotten that Steph had prime Klay and prime Draymond from 2015 to 2018. That was the period those guys cemented their HOF status. You can't say that for K. Love. Minnesota K. Love was the prime K. Love.

Then you add Prime KD. Steph literally had a big 4 in GS. That's why that team was unbeatable.

And you're here mentioning top 75. How many top 75 has LeBron played with against Steph? The answer is one, in the just concluded series. There's no point mentioning Wade and Westbrook when we're not comparing their careers.

Erm, they said we should ask who else has needed a player averaging 27 or 25 and 10 to win a Finals series. My answer is Steph Curry grin

Ogbeni....
Kyrie irving was the second best player on the Cavs, and he averaged 27PPG, the best player on the warriors averaged 22PPG.
Mention one finals you know where the second best player averaged more points than the best player of the opposing team....

Now Embiid has to turn it up mentally, and then they might have a chance next year. Because when it's that time, he disappears

Lol. That your guys underperformed in that Finals is not my fault. It was common knowledge that GS had 2 of the 3 best players in that series. It should be a knock on their legacies and not an excuse. After all when LeBron averaged 17 in 2011 and Dirk averaged 26, no one said it was because Dirk was the better player. In fact even Jason Terry averaged 18, more than LeBron. Would we then say Terry was a better player than LeBron?

Kyrie that was literally an Allstar game MVP before Klay Thompson even made it to Allstar consideration. Shameless fans. They always diminish his teammates yet still bash said teammates when he fails

It's like you people forget history so quick on this forum. Klay averaged 22.1 ppg that season. Kyrie averaged 19.6. And only one of them was known to have an above average defense and it sure as hell wasn't Kyrie. Since the eye test didn't convince you then the numbers should.

And for your information, Kyrie didn't make all-star that year but Klay did. You can argue with me about the year before or the year after, but not 2016 I'm sorry.

Yeap, this was going to happen. Easiest way to get fired is after a "blockbuster" trade that doesnt produce results. Nevermind that Doc Rivers had no say in getting Harden, but he will pay for it regardless.

Lol....
First off, your data was purposely falsified.
As of 2016, klay had only been an all star twice.
Kyrie has been an all star since 2013.
In 2016, he was mostly Injured, he played about 52 games. He was just returning from a long layoff. No version of Klay has ever been as good as Kyrie.. Kyrie came into the NBA as a superstar. Nigga was a number one pick, rookie of the year, all star MVP. Before Klay knew what it was to be an all star....
And only a fraudulent nigga like yourself can ever compare Klay to Kyrie.

My data is not falsified. Point me to where it is falsified. And you're fond of using past glory to judge a player in the present. What does what happened in 2013 have to do with 2016. So you know Kyrie missed a lot of games through injury but you're bent or arguing. Someone that shot 44% from the field and 32% from 3 was better than Klay?

Take away the Finals, Klay averaged 26.2 from the 1st round to the conference finals. Kyrie averaged 24.3. But in the Finals Klay's average went down to 19.6 and Kyrie went up to 27.1. So when I say Klay didn't show up in the Finals I know what I'm saying. Klay was always better than Kyrie in 2016.

So in your little mind, scoring more points than a better player than you during the insignificsnt regular season makes you better ehn?
Here is another stat for your perusal, since we want to be clever than half.
Stephen curry, James Harden and even Russell westbrook all averaged more points than LeBron James that season. So going by your monkey logic, they are better than him, yeah?
Infact there was a stretch of time when James Harden and westbrook outscored Lebron James back to back, did anyone ever say they were better than him?
Embiid is the top scorer last season, does anyone think he is better than Giannis?
3 seasons ago, Bradley Beal averaged more points than any other player not named Steph Curry, did anyone say he was better than any of the Top dogs.
Nigga, you are a thinking man so everything does not have to be spelt out for you.
At no point in Klays entire career, has he been a better player than Kyrie irving. The distance was never even close....

Fam, Pop is unpredictable and loves to stay in control. It honestly won’t shock me if he announces his retirement considering he has earned them a great future if everything goes accordingly.

Jokic is the basketball equivalent of a Trequartista. He just sees and makes reads from the center position that few guys will ever be able to do.

Lol no cause for alarm yet. Where alarm will blow is if the Lakers lose Game 2. They only need one game in Denver. Where there will be big big problems if they lose both cos like I said the weaknesses of Denver are not as acute as Golden state's hence the Lakers have a smaller margin for error
