All time ..
Where do you rank him now? and Where do you rank him in the future?

Jordan, Bird, Miller, Magic, Kobe and probably Pierce ..

I think he will be top three by careers end...

you rate him above which of these players: jerry west? sam jones? magic? bird? jordan? miller? isaih thomas I?

thread seems rooted too much in the recent nba and a bit early in kyrie's career.
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

Did Irving even make a shot in the clutch last night?  He got to the line a lot, which is great, but he seemed to miss a lot of shots, many of them open or at the rim area.

In fairness, "King in the Fouth" Thomas had some similar nights last year before he caught lightning in a bottle. Irving found a way to net us 11 points in the fourth which should be good enough a tough game where he's playing with a facial fracture.

What defines Kyrie as clutch outside of one really big shot?  I’m genuinely curious.

I was pretty dissapointed in Irving for the entire game.  He seemed a little passive given the magnitude of the game.  I was expecting him to take over at the end which he never did either.

Ability to close the game .. not just one shot... I like to use the final 5 minutes of total efficiency ... We have seen it in the finals with Cleveland and are starting to see it already in Boston..

I just feel while he hasnt played as long as Jordan, Bird, Kobe, Magic etc .. His clutch performances are probably at a higher percentage than anyone during his total amount time played ..
just my 2 cents

I hear this a lot, which is why I asked.

Last year, his “clutch” numbers were terrible.

Exactly this.

Kyrie shoots a lot late in close games so he's going to have a number of winning shots. But his overall numbers aren't very good. 39% from the field and 22% from 3 is awful. Those numbers aren't an anomaly either. 36%/28% in 2015. 37%/35% in 2014.

I'm glad he's not afraid to take the big shots. But he actually isn't particularly good at making them.

Other guys with horrible clutch numbers on this list: Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, Damian Lillard, DeMarcus Cousins, and Anthony Davis.

He'll be fine. He's shooting 56% in the clutch so far this season, and leads the league with 5.8 clutch points.

He outscored Golden State 11-10 down the stretch.
