[@maxoppenhuis4986]

Mixed Tape Videos you usually make great videos but this was terrible. You pretty much only considered efficiency for scoring and passing, when Lillard has the clear advantage in volume scoring, and the only reason kyrie is so efficient is because he played lots of his prime with lebron who created many open looks for kyrie, making his efficiency better, and Lillard is the first option so he has to create his own shots. And in passing you literally said Lillard assist numbers were more impressive, but that kyrie was slightly more efficient. But with a higher usage rate Lillard should be slightly less efficient, and over the past few seasons it’s been the same, so I don’t see how that was a tie. I agree about defense, but on accolades, the reason kyrie has had more playoff success is because he played with lebron. Playoff success has to do with how good your team is , not how good you are as an individual. The awards like all nba teams that have to do with how good you are individually are better for Lillard. Score should have been 4-1 with Lillard winning.

Dame was obviously a better passer and y'all didn't want to give it to him.

[@cultmoss4482]

I think the better way to do this type of matchup would be to give them 1 out of 10 scores in each category instead of naming one the winner and the other not. For example: Scoring: Kyrie, 9/10 Dame, 8/10 Passing: Kyrie 6/10 Dame 7/10 Defense: Kyrie 6/10 Dame 6/10 Accolades: Kyrie 8/10 Dame 6/10 In the end Kyrie still wins, but it makes it a closer fight at least so that instead of the final score being 4 to 2, it's more like 29 to 27

[@Kings_Quest]

[@chrishosey7535]

Max Oppenhuis Dame is a better passer. We all know this. Accolades shouldn't determine who's better simply because of circumstances. Kyrie had LeBron. Do I really need to say anything else?

[@jordanbobo1496]

Very biased video every time damian had a slight a advantage it was ruled a tie but kyrie always got the edge over him

[@marcosmartinez8088]

Dame has the leadership that Kyrie don't have, in 2015 when Portland lose fourth of their five starters i really think they won't reach the playoffs and Lilliard had an incredible year. Maybe as players they are pretty similar, you have to admit Dame and Kyrie are in the same level but i chose Lilliard because he is the leader than a team need.

[@simon.fcn.8464]

If Playmaking is a tie than scoring is also. I would give both categories to Dame!

[@Kings_Quest]

Lillard got first team all-nba and 4th in MVP race so accolades should be tie, just shows even more how even these players are. But as a biased Dame fan, I can't say Kyrie is better. But that's just me so don't go hating.

[@noluv_quan5233]

Kyrie got way more awards than Lillard Kyrie play with LeBron so Kyrie don't play that much minutes as Lillard or have the ball in hand LeBron was the point guard Kyrie was the scoring but no hate Kyrie is better.

[@Kings_Quest]

Wavy__Boi__ Jay more awards is highly debatable and I guess you're minutes argument is valid but can we really knock Lillard for being more on the court. Since when is that a bad thing.

[@noluv_quan5233]

Michael Van der Elst that not a bad thing but Lillard has more plays call out for him than Kyrie.Lillard team is not that good.

[@Kings_Quest]

Wavy__Boi__ Jay again, not Lillard's fault. It's even more impressive that he manages to have a competitive team with no help.

[@kendrickwilliams9286]

Dame is better. When Kyrie carried the load in Cleveland they were a lottery team. Much of his success is due to the fact that he played w Lebron. Now a Celtic much of his success is due to the fact that his squad is really good overall. Lillard has always carried the weight. Basically with minimal help. He carries the franchise on his back since he was drafted. He has made the playoffs multiple times without the help of another all star. Coupled with the fact that Kyrie is often injured. Give me ice cold Lillard over Kyrie any day.

[@chrishosey7535]

Kendrick Williams he did/ does have Aldridge and McCollum. But other than that I agree.

[@anklebreakinglegend8512]

Lillard has a good squad too. And he chokes in the Playoffs.

How was playmaking a tie, dame is clearly the better playmaker

[@jjavelar]

Playmaking a tie when their advanced analytics being nearly identical, but Dame averages more assists? Nah, Dame wins that by a hair if Kyrie wins scoring for better field goal %.

[@FirstnameLastname-qb2bg]

I look at it this way. If Kyrie was in Portland the last 2 years does Portland make the playoffs both years? Do they get a #3 seed in the playoffs this year? If I was betting in Vegas I’m betting no.

[@daltonroberts6700]

Y’all make up your minds before you even make the video. Dame has better assists and try’s harder on Defense but since you want Kyrie to win you give them a tie instead

[@alexmotts]

The only difference between these two is kyrie got lucky lebron wanted to come home. Otherwise he would be ringless

[@justicemurphy23]

Dame plays in the West and faces killers in the playoffs. Even though they got swept dame and cj were torching gs in the 16-17 playoffs just like how kyrie did to gs when they played in the finals. Kyrie had Lebron on his team most of his career, before lebron he never made the playoffs (i know he was young). The best teammate dame has had is either CJ or LA vs kyrie having Kevin Love, Lebron, Tatum, horford plus a really good coach in brad Stevens. So the conclusion from this post is dame plays harder competition in a harder conference and still carries them to the playoffs while kyrie is still really good he plays bums and has had easy roads to the finals where his team still has had success while he was injured which is pretty frequent.

[@coopermorris236]

[@ronaldomendoza7578]

JSizzle Sorry bro but if Kyrie wasnt hurt during the play offs, he would've pushed his team to the finals without much struggle, pushing finals to atleast 5 (maybe 6 due to completely different playstyle when compared to the Cavs that they've faced for 4 years)

This is probably Kyrie Irving Shooting is great and consistent and the best scoring than Lilard, Kyrie had 40% 3point fg and Lilard only had 36% 3point fg.

[@joefromdeli115]

Wait y’all didn’t even bring up lillard was 4th in mvp voting and 1st team this year. The hell

[@adrianxmelody]

I like Dame dolla better

[@sirmalcolmhd9150]

this video is recorded probably months ago, they don’t mention Lillards all-nba first team. A bit dissapointing to be honest

[@alberteinstein9591]

It should be a tie. Scoring should be a tie or kyrie playmaking should be lillard since kyrie has not been the main ball handler except if this last season and defence should be lillard since his opponents fg drops 2 while kyries opponent's fg increases by 2. Accolades is kyrie but lillard has the better single player accolades. Scoring could be kyrie or lillard accolades is kyrie but comparing players team success without looking at the circumstances isn't the best way to compare players. Defence is lillard but both aren't great defenders. As I said it should should be a tie

[@paigejo24]

I think scoring should be closer than given credit in this video. Dame gets significantly more FTs, and is the hub of the offense as the number 1 option so he's been more of a focal point of the opposing defense historically. Also he's never ad Brad Stevens as a coach or LeBron, and didn't play in the east.

[@hafidsavage7425]

Sorry Kyrie

[@milesaheadpodcast]

Neither one is better than Curry. Facts

[@noluv_quan5233]

Marvin M. McIntyre Kyrie destroy curry every time so he better than curry all curry do is shoot an get carried in the finals remember he score 10pts

[@milesaheadpodcast]

Wavy__Boi__ Jay I do remember that in that playoff run Curry was injured and during that particular game he was in foul trouble and besides they won that game. But if you go off the series that they were both healthy which was the 2017 finals Curry averaged 27/9/8 on 2.2 steals. Kyrie was outplayed. And in game 3 kyrie didn't close in the those final minutes. He had 0 points in that span. In game 5 in the 3rd and 4th of quarters kyrie was 1-11. The only person that kept it close was Jr Smith. Kyrie wasn't clutch.

[@milesaheadpodcast]

Wavy__Boi__ Jay do you watch basketball? If all curry did was shoot he would be a klay Thompson, jj redrick, Steve kerr, or a Danny Green. You dumb ass.

[@MixedTapeVideosNBA]

Agree

[@noluv_quan5233]

Marvin M. McIntyre u dumb if they play one on one Kyrie would destroy him Kyrie is the reason they was up in 2017 finals LeBron and Kyrie were tired they did all the work for the team they play most of the whole game.curry is scare to guard Kyrie that why he don't come to USA traning camp to play king of the court.curry got way more help than Kyrie.Every time curry guard Kyrie Kyrie score.u don't know basketball.The only thing curry do better is shoot 3s curry shoot alot of 3s.

[@WhelmedButReady]

I've seen Kyrie outplay Steph on highest stage with the most pressure imaginable on his shoulders. Dame can't even beat Steph while coming off leg injuries and tons of rust. Curry still burned him, meanwhile Kyrie always gives it to his opponents as good as he gets

[@chrishosey7535]

That just proves you don't watch Dame. He burns curry in every game. And in the game you're talking about Dame had 36 and 10. So what are you talking about? He didn't get burned. He actually had a better individual game.

[@asianlim3000]

With the exception of last season in Boston, Kyrie has not been a proactive playmaker as a "point guard."

[@AllPraisesToTMH]

leo lim well that's facts but when LeBron was there he was turned into a scoring weapon instead of being able to showcase everything he could do, and his first 3 years he had a bum ass team. So to Me, he still has a lot to prove. Btw I think he is better than Dame Dolla.

[@asianlim3000]

Deontae Hardnett I agree with what you said. I think Damian Lillard is an explosive scorer and can get buckets with the best of them in the league but Kyrie is a cut above Damian in terms of scoring ability and offensive basketball IQ since I have never seen him been locked up like how Damian was clamped in the playoffs last year by Jrue and Rondo. I truly think Kyrie is the very definition and the very best you can get at being "unstoppable" at scoring at 6 foot 3.

[@noluv_quan5233]

Kyrie is a scoring he should be a shooting guard he not a pure playmaker but he the best skill and clutch Pg in the nba.

[@sandernista6499]

Wavy__Boi__ Jay Its not like Dame is averaging 10 assists a night, he gets 6 or 7 which isnt miles ahead of Kyrie. Kyrie played Lebron and Horford who are amongst the best playmakers in their position. Kyrie gets his assists.

[@kevinmuhanji1614]

This did not age well

[@nedzhminedkov1159]

Kyrie is much more skilled than Lillard..better finisher, better handles, much more efficient and proficient, better playmaker, has a higher BB IQ, everything Lillard can do Kyrie just does it better

[@princejames2761]

nah fam kyrie is better but not at some of those things like he's not a better playmaker,and more skilled with handles so thats the same only thing kyrie as over lillard is handles and finishing at the rim dame is ranked 3rd among point guards in efficiency rating while kyrie is third so what you're saying doesn't make any sense

[@princejames2761]

and if we're going by efficiency rating alone it would be 1.Curry 2.Lillard 3.Kyrie 4.Russ 5.CP3

[@nedzhminedkov1159]

Prince James listen you can't just look at assist and think that when Dame averages 6 and Kyrie averages 5 that Kyrie is worse at playmaking when in Brad Stevens system the ball has to move constansly and that's why you can't have a player average 8,9 assists, but Kyrie gets the hockey assist a lot and dude Kyrie is straight up better than Dame

In what way??? kyrie has had more success in playoffs and this may be biased because i love his Iso play style, but he just scores better. Kyrie is weak in defense and playmaking is below average but i think hes still better. Also, kyrie is younger and still has more opportunities to prove himself while dame is pretty much in his prime. When he was pretty much kyrie's age when he was with lebron, he had aldrige and young mccollum. So the "better teammate" excuse for better playoff success is not really viable.

[@chrishosey7535]

@@f0rtyy815 How is the better players for playoffs not valid? When Kyrie first made the playoffs he had lebron, a top 4 player of all time. He didn't make it before. And Dame is a better passer, just as good if not a better defender, and is most definitely a better leader. Heck he even has an argument for scoring. ( I would still give it to Kyrie) And besides I'm pretty sure you've only watched him like twice in your life so how would you know?
