    Kyrie Irving attempted 32 shots and was contested on 30 of them. It did not matter as he was draining everything.

    Watching the game, I couldn't help be reminded of Kobe when Irving was draining everything. I didn't grow up watching Jordan, so when I see ridiculous hot streaks and defenders not being able to do a thing, I thihk Kobe.

    Remember that year when Kobe was in the zone and had like 4 50 point games in a row. It was like it looked easy for him. Maybe that was the same year as the 81 point game or just before the year or just after it. Yeah nice to hear especially from a current young gun, giving recognition for Kobe taking the time to give him some tips. Maybe last Olympics? Or is that too far back for Kyrie?

    No no he's a young dynamic entertaining fellow playing well behind LeBron's shadow on the court.

    All I know is that game, and other performances by Kyrie this season, proves Lebron can not win the MVP this season. next to him stands a top 10 player in this league. (not the case with Curry who has Klay but also the best record in the league).

    No one was ever better than Kobe when he would get in the zone. Not even Jordan. MJ was better on a game to game basis though.

    Yeah, MJ was more consistent but Kobe would get hotter than anybody ever. When he got it rolling, its absurd the things he could do.
