Overrated and a rebound thief sure, but he's still a force and markedly better than Lowry.
The only reason Westbrook isn't in the MVP conversation this year is because a bunch of chinstrokers decided he didn't deserve it last time.
Leaving out the rebound/triple double factor, he's still 23/10 shooting 46%. Lowry is a far cry from that at the moment, and has been a long way from Westbrook's numbers his whole career.
Lowry wouldn't be in the top 5 point guards this season, he wouldn't have been one last season, and he wouldn't have a top 5 career of all the active point guards. I'm not sure how that's even debatable.

Have a look for yourself numbers don't lie and just to point out irving has only ever averaged less than 20ppg twice in the years he has been in the nba while lowry has only ever made 20ppg twice. big difference
Only thing i give kyle lowry over irving more assists.

Your last sentence is what i've been trying to work out this whole time.
Not trying to be a bias boston fan and up irving more than lowry but i'm sure any nba fan would take irving over lowry any day.

Meh, don't even need to throw Irving into this.
I didn't realize Harden, Simmons or even Kemba stopped existing this year.
Everyone in Toronto blew their loads after the guy's first 15 games and wrote stuff like this

Lowry has done extremely well to be an all star a handful of times. "MVP level Steve Nash" he is not.
There's ****ing tons of great pg's in the league. GL ranking them.

He has been one of the best point guards in the NBA over the last five years.
You are incorrect.

Ppg
Point guard
Those 2 things don't always correlate
Anyway there's no point arguing, we won't ever agree on it

I wonder how their careers would have turned out had Houston not matched the offer sheet and Lowry and kyrie were on the same team

anyways enough Point guard talk, tomorrow the bucks get to test themselves against the current eastern conference champions.
Delly will be making his Cavs return in Milwaukee... a double homecoming of sorts for him

Its funny how these things end up. Looked at the schedule, traded for him, didnt have to fly delly over. Lets meet up, say 3 hours before the game? Yep, sounds good.
Maybe delly knows of some secret tunnels in wauke.

Add Jamal Murray to the injury list. My god.
4/5 starters now. Milsap, Harris, Barton & Murray. Add IT to that although not really a starter (who knows).
Jokic last man standing..

From that launchpad, Curry decided to jump headfirst into a classic conspiracy theory.
"We ever been to the moon?" Curry asked the room.
Several of the players responded in the negative.
"They're going to come get us," Curry added. "I don't think so, either ... I'm starting conspiracies."
"You don't think so?" Finberg asked Curry. "Uh-uh," the 30-year-old point guard grunted, confirming his initial statement.

Lets face it, the NBA is no different to other sports. Most players have below average intelligence, and they are super lucky they can play sports otherwise they would be in a minimum pay job.
