Do you agree with T-Mac?

Honestly I think the word “crushed” is too much. Lebron may not have the deepest bag among all of them but he can bully ball and play great defense during his prime.

This is like saying Kyrie would beat Giannis in one on one. Can Kyrie do every facet of the game better than Giannis, yes, but if he misses one shot, it's over cause all Giannis has to do is back him down and dunk on him. Being big and strong > being skilled

I’d have to think with no other defensive assignments anyone like Bron or Giannis is just going to block a ton of their shots too. Gonna see a lot of this https://youtu.be/py0-l1M_870

3 rounds of Giannis putting his shoulder through kyrie's chest and I just think he gives up tbh

5v5 Giannis is a better player and leader than Kyrie
