Luka and Kyrie are like fire and ice and that's what makes them so special as a backcourt - every time Luka makes a great play everyone loses their shit and screams AHHHHHHHHHH - every time kyrie makes a great play everyone jumps back and is like that shit was CLEAN.
Luka literally is the PERFECT Superstar. He’s an alltimer with no ceiling but also Super marketable, Super Popular, relatable personality, shines in big moments, aura, killer mentality, trash talking you name it. If he wins this Championship(which he will), he is the Face of the League going into next Season😤💯💯
Because they didn't expect Kyrie to perform. Luka had great run during the playoff but another star was missing. After getting Kyrie, no one expected him to perform.
Steph and Klay were “the greatest backcourt ever” for nine years; Luka and Kyrie have been “the greatest backcourt ever” for not even a year . . . Part of being the greatest is building a resume together . . .
@@joshuaadjekukor9914 Klay doesn't even compare to Kai or Luka be serious 😂 it does not take more talent to run around screens than it does to create your own shot. Spot up shots and back door cuts are his whole gimmick and you see how bad he looks when he isnt hitting shots 😂😂
To me they definitely best scoring backcourt ever fuck a Steph & Klay both have same traits shoot 3s come off screens shoot Kyrie Luka give u more don’t let rings go to your head 👀👀👀
@@GodSon91 Media narrative. Stop pushing nonsense. KD+ was a superteam. The rest was literally a developed team from top to bottom. Steph was never expected to be this good, especially with a Klay backcourt, when everybody said it wasn't going to work. Stop trying to diminish success to uplift another. Its corny.
I’ll say Luka and Kyrie is the most skilled backcourt and I say that because they two of the best one on one players on same team other backcourts not to disrespect them for accomplishments but was things like best defensive backcourt or one being a great one on one player and the other needed to be setup for catch and shoot and if they styles match it work those accomplished backcourts match too or whatever but until they win and get some chips in then we can have that talk
Bruh, do ya'll understand what "talented" means? they got the deepest bag... Splash brothers better shooters but they aren't the most talented like Luka and Ky gnna kill you ever where.
As much as i love Luka and Kyrie together. Scoring wise they might be the best backcourt ever but let’s be real the best ever is MJ and Pippen cause they were both top scorer and all defensive guys. Nobody ever achieved that since. Plus 6 titles…. When i hear the splash brothers 😂 Pippen would put Klay in his pocket and MJ would post Curry every possession and dunk over him.
If Kyrie doesn’t get praised for for doing what Lebron did which was good to a team and help them win a championship then this will be a disrespect to his legacy and name….
Only backcourt mates that can compare to Luka and Kyrie is the Walt Frazier/Earl Monroe NY Knicks backcourt in the 70's. Both are alpha guards as well.
@@joshuaadjekukor9914Stop going to every comment dick riding the warriors Klay got no bag and the warriors couldnt even close a 3-1 serirs lead AGAINST Kai but their better? Literally had to run and get KD 😂😂
@@bahriboy that team was Steph and klay and draymond team don’t give me that THEY WON IN 2015 without KD AND THEY WON AFTER HE LEFT 2022 STEPH AND KLAY ARE THE GOAT BACKCOURT
Kyrie and Luka are the most talented back court for sure! But the splash were the best.. it’s just different, Klay couldn’t do what neither one of them can do
lol the only thing that steph and klay separate from others is the ring. If they don't have those chips those backcourt not even in the conversation. Klay was a system player most of his pts coming from the screen and catch and shoot only Steph can create his own shoot with his handles. Luka and kyrie was so good with 1 on 1 beating defender with their skills, post up,hesitation dribble,cross over,pump fake any moves of a guard. Klay don't have that.
kyrie is not the reason, luka is.... kyrie needs to step down which is why he didn't succeed in brooklyn or in cleveland before lebron. he has good skills, but he can't win as the leader, he is the michael jordan of scottie pippens.
@@masongreen1371 Luka is less clutch than Kyrie in clutch moments. For example game 4 Luka failed to be clutch in free throw and the 3 pointer at the near the end and he knew it by his reaction.
Why is this even a discussion? The straight disrespect to Curry and Klay is just a reminder that any NBA media/fans are always enamored with recency bias and this proves it.
We need to be real about step and Klay. They have one legitimate title..first title was injury plagued Cavs. Second title was with kd..the only legit title was vs Boston and you can't really say that Klay was at his best to be considered a top backcourt ever. That was more Steph.
@@masongreen1371 does his defense offset the fact that kyrie is a significantly better passer and scorer. I mean we saw kyrie outplay klay in every final they played against each other
If you just say best offensive back court then I think Kyrie and Luka could be the best. They are engaged on defense right now but they aren’t lock down defenders.
Oh please, Carmelo who never won an NBA championship is your expert commentator? Who is he bribing to get those commercials anyway. He never could get it done in the pros but he moved to nyc to be a big hitter??
So tired of hearing, "Oh, they're the Splash Brothers! They're incredible...." Their BEST year was 52/8/9. Steph is a 25ppg player whose best years were 30ppg/5/6. Klay is a 20ppg player whose best year was 22ppg/4/2. Luka & Kyrie's FIRST year was 60/15/14. To compare them is like comparing Memphis to the 96 Bulls. "Oh, but they won 4 rings!" Yeah, 2 were because KD was the best player on their team and he & Steph were the team. Sam Jones won 5 so if that's your metric, he and whoever his running mate were are the best backcourt ever. Kobe won 5 (2 without Shaq) so whoever was his point guard and him were the best backcourt ever. Such a stupid argument.....
You’re disqualified and disgusting for bringing up “RingLess we don’t need you Durant” in this convo bro! KD was the best player at being gifted a championship and wide open after wide open opportunity to be a “best” player!! Check the tape homie!!
If you novices knew anything you’d realize stats are lower for the Splash Brothers because of the lack 4th quarters played during the 9 year run!!! Gone and add 3-5 points a game to their splits playboy!!!!!!#micdrop
@@brianbanks8570 so what you’re saying is that you’re too clueless to know how easy it is to look up minutes played per game for any season. Funny enough, Curry and Thompson have the same basic minutes played for the last 10 years (minus Klay’s injury seasons). Doesn’t matter if it was a good season or a bad season, within two minutes per game he’s played the exact same number of minutes for over a decade. Funny how he managed to get the most clutch player in the NBA this year without ever playing in the fourth quarter….🙄
People give Kyrie way too much credit for a guy that’s failed miserably every time he had to lead a team by himself. It took LeBron James to get him a title. He’s a solid number 2 who has a very specific game that you have to tailor to. Not worth it. Kyrie isn’t why the Mavs are where they are. It’s Luka scoring 34 a night in the playoffs lol
Stop hating this winning shit ain't easy so quit hating and enjoy the moment always talking that leading shit don't nobody care about that but causals long as you winning and contributing big time is what matters
