Okay hold up a second here....
One of the most critiqued players in the NBA? By who? I've literally never seen Kyrie criticized or critiqued. I've seen nothing but universal praise no matter how crappy he plays.
He got handed the keys to the franchise on draft day. From his rookie year on, the Cavs were the "Kyrie Show". He didn't pass the ball to Waiters. Waiters was made out to be a baby. Delly comes in and misses a shot after Kyrie spent an entire game dribbling the air out of the ball and missing a bunch of shots. Delly is called garbage and blamed. He didn't pass the ball to Love. Not only is Love made out to be garbage and somebody who needs to be traded, LeBron is blamed for it the same way he took the heat in Miami when Wade didn't pass it to Bosh. In the Finals, he redeems his atrocious play in every game with a clutch three after bricking a bunch of shots and almost costing his team the game in every game of that playoffs, and he's made out to be amazing.
On Team USA, it's been the exact same thing. I've yet to see him have even an above mediocre game in a US uniform.
And I'm sorry but I refuse to call somebody who can't get past even a decent defender without a screen an offensive weapon or a scorer. Is that really how far our standards have dropped?
