Kyrie has been at the center of and involved in some of the greatest regular season games we’ve ever witnessed

That 2016 Christmas game after KD joined the Warriors is the one that stands out to me

that 9 straight to force OT was pure Kyrie - no motion offense, just take the switch and go to work. and Bron hitting the exact same dagger from 2016… that chemistry is why that duo never lost a clutch game when it mattered

Could be misremembering but this game wasn’t scheduled to be on national tv until last minute. They replaced lakers vs knicks featuring… Jordan hill and Langston Galloway

Bron plus Kyrie really made sense on the court. Too bad Kyrie turned flaky

Not sure why the OP didn’t state the date of the game: March 12, 2015

Here’s the box score: https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201503120SAS.html

Bron and Cavs also got the best Christmas game ever. Probably going to be sixers cavs for Christmas game this year aswell

Kyrie was so damn deep in his bag this game.

Easily. Only other ones I’d throw in that convo are Kobe’s 81, Luka’s 60, 21, 10, and Dame’s 71.

Kyrie def the best fit out of all Brons teammates imo. A player like Bron who is a menace in transistion, rim pressure, and PG loves having a dynamic offball 2 guard who can also ball handle and create.

Like yeah Bron can work with a lot of different players, but Kyrie’s specific type suits him best. Probably why he wanted Sixers with Maxey

At their best maybe. Wade was just elite both ways but got injured quick. AD and Bron covered up each other’s “weaknesses” really well, thrived on a 2020 Lakers with poor shooting. Kyrie is the perfect offensive fit for both of them, the my turn-your turn offense worked from 35 feet out. He was chasing that high for years.

Obviously biggest problem for all three is they kept getting injured lmao. Maybe it’s Big Z after all.

Yep, Bron still looks for chances to play with him again for a reason.

Wade and AD were better players but Wade had fit problems and AD had his injury stuff.

I think Luka is the best as the only one that was an MVP candidate

D wade was only great for one year and good for one more with bron while kyrie was great for 3 with bron so yes

lowkey

I remember he travelled to Miami or something for injections for both his back and knee so people thought it was a serious aging injury that would start his downswing lmao

They made two big trades early January that fixed the roster, one with the Knicks who gave JR and Shump basically for free to dump salary. Then another for Mozgov from the Nuggets. This also jettisoned Dion Waiters. After that point they went 34-12 (a rate that would be 60 wins over a full season).

this was one of anyone’s best games ever

Nah, KD went to Warriors after Curry demolished OKC 2016

(Also multiple times in their career has KD played against Curry and been demolished. He picked the best team he could see and the team that’s always beat him.

“They do have a timeout, decide not to use it. Curry, way downtown… BANG! BANG! Oh, what a shot from Curry! With six-tenths of a second remaining!”

how did a Kyrie/Lebron game in 2016 force Lebron to go to the Heatles in 2010?

“LeBron James with no regard for human life !!!”

I need a montages of his calls fr, I could go to sleep listening to them

Yeah that’s where I rewatched it too lmao. It’s so good in full, better than most playoff games. This is how LeBron and Kyrie always were, my turn-your turn based on whoever is hot, matchup, fatigue etc. It’s like Luka and AR but both go 100 MPH and shoot less threes.

After DG matched up with Kyrie that shit was special. The Bron-Kyrie-TT linkup in the 4th is nuts. DG-Kawhi switches didn’t matter and both were flying around the court off ball to open tiny lanes, Kyrie is going through every time. 2020s offenses are more optimized but the blend of old and new in these 2010s offenses makes for thrilling basketball

link please?

that was before he became a bron hater

Absolutely not

Lmao fuck no

Yeah gaurd his fucking towel and water bottle maybe😭

Lol nope. This is also why 2018 Bron better than Miami bron

If you watched 2018 LeBron and what he did, then you would know the answer.

it worked out for you!

YUP, YUP, YUP. i’m still in my feelings about it, to this day.

LeBron would’ve gone to the Lakers anyways, but we would’ve had a few more years of that duo.

link please?

Bullshit. He’s been getting credit for that dagger ever since it happened

He gets a lot of credit

Wdym MJ fans give him all the credit lmao

Heres the fun thing….you dont😂

even Iguodala said the Warriors biggest problem was Kyrie, not Lebron

Lol

Lebron James in Games 5-7 of the 2016 Finals. 36.3 PPG | 11.7 RPG | 9.7 APG | 3.0 SPG | 3.0 BPG | 59% TS. The biggest problem in the history of the NBA

Uh that’s cus the warriors accepted LeBron was getting 30/10/10 as long as nobody else went off so it was a problem Kyrie kept doing that 

Kyrie gets plenty of credit lmao, why you trying to make him a martyr.

Kyrie is widely regarded as the second most impactful player for the Cavs success, he gets more than plenty of credit lmao

Yep

Yeah I can see why he said that. At some point you already know brons gonna torch you one way or another. When you have someone like kyrie who can take possesions off lebrons shoulders and fry your entire team you really dont want that guy getting hot.
