Not surprised James picked Kyrie. Easy PR move to initiate a public burying of the hatchet.
I like this idea to make the ASG more interesting, although I don't expect it to impact the effort level of the game at all.
I was really thinking LeBron wouldn't pick kyrie and that's why I assumed this whole thing was kept secretive.
instead now I think LeBron picked kyrie so he doesn't look like the d0uche that he is.
See, I presume that Lebron did not pick Kyrie, but instead Curry stuck him with Kyrie. Here's how I think it went down:
Lebron must have had the first pick and taken Durant, because Curry would have taken Durant first if he had the chance to.
I assume it was a snake draft so Curry took Harden and Giannis next.
Then Lebron says "oh yeah, let me get two dominant bigs in AD and Cousins!"
Then Curry has Derozan, Embiid, and Kyrie left to choose two from and says, "Oh, I am definitely sticking Kyrie with Lebron! Haha yesssss, this is gonna be great!" and takes Derozan and Embiid.
