Kyrie Irving or Anthony Davis ???

[nflfans4ever]

If you had to choose between Irving or AD,which one would you take on your team ?

[Pejarox7620]

AD All Day! and I dont think its even close. Kyrie has potential and skys the limit but AD looks to be the real deal

[CALVINXLIONSX81]

Anthony Davis and it's not even close

[Dwade3HeatC]

AD.

Not even close. This thread should end here. I would be surprised if kyrie got 1 vote in 20

[JOAKIMCOLLECTOR]

theres a lot of point guards i would pick in todays nba over kyrie. You have to go with AD due to the fact he is playing as a dominant natural big man which is hard to find in this generation of the NBA.

[tristan20]

Davis by a mile

[pac213up]

This one is not even close. AD by a mile and a half.

[joem1cha3l]

AD and its not even close.

[Dwade3HeatC]

Who are the three that voted Kyrie?

Where are you??!!!!

[xavieronly1]

Who are the three that voted Kyrie?

Where are you??!!!!

Kyrie, uncle dew, and kyrie's mom

[jeslan89]

AD all the way!

Random but...

Anyone play NBA Jam for SNES growing up? I could imagine AD tearing it up with super blocks and massive dunks if he played head to head with Kyrie. Kyrie could light up the court with threes and catch fire but would also be limited to layups due to low dunk stats. Haha. Nostalgia.

MONSTER JAM! HES ON FIRE!!!!

[the27guy]

Glad to know that even though I got here late, all is right in the world of Blowout. Carry on :)

[CameronJacobs]

AD all day!? And this is coming from a UK fan, so of course I'd picked AD. But, if the MVP of the league says you're NEXT, you win! Haha

[rookies]

Is this a question?
OP who would you take Lebron or darko?

[thepinoymamba]

Davis all day

[bdoody42]

Davis by a mile. He's plays both sides of the ball. Whoever voted for Kyrie please tell us your reasoning.

[the27guy]

Yet, see the following comparisons- and yes, I know they're not perfect comparisons, but there's always something that makes comps difficult.

In MOST cases, Kyrie's stuff is still selling for MORE than Davis. Do I understand this? No. I don't. I'm very high on Davis and have been so for months..... but for the most part Kyrie is STILL worth more.

Clearly, the market you play in still plays a huge role. And clearly Kyrie collectors have deeper pockets than Davis.

So, despite the fact that the vast majority of people think Davis will be the far superior player, his card values have yet to reflect that.

But I'm not complaining. It's been very nice for me to be able to pick up some great AD stuff at what I consider pretty awesome prices.

[Amerigo Vespucc]

Can we please compare bigs to bigs and guards to guards.
AD gives ya higher fg% rebounds and blocks which adds up to more wins.
Kyrie gives ya awesome ball on a string highlights and flash.
As a GM we all pick Davis, far as who I rather watch play, Kyrie. Guard play is way more fun to watch.

[nflfans4ever]

ok so that was not the best matchup haha :p

[nflfans4ever]

Still,there is 9 votes for Irving...

[dapro]

You always want a skilled big man over skilled small man. AD all the way to the bank!

[IamRalpho]

I have a guess who voted for Kyrie....

anyways

AD and not even close, AD is a top 10 player right now in the NBA, is Kyrie a top 25? No

[topbasketballfa]

AD will be a top 5 player and MVP talks for years. Impacts the game on both ends of the floor. He's gonna be in the discussion with KD and Lebron. Kyrie won't come into that discussion. AD top 10 now, top 3 soon. Kyrie top 25 now, maybe top 15 soon.

These two recent sales reflect the actual value pretty good:

How are two totally different cards reflective of each other?

Lets at least compare apples to apples

Davis NT /199 went for $928 (July 15th with a pretty basic patch)
Kyrie NT /199 went for $930 (July 11th with a pretty basic patch)

Kyrie NT's are back in the $1,200 - $1,500 range (depending on the patch) since LeBron signed with Cleveland. His last 2 went for $1,450 and $1,600

There haven't been any recent Davis NT sales to compare (hence why I compared the July ones)

I answered the question as Davis - I'd take him all day over Kyrie because of the position he plays (and relative health) - but the market still favors Kyrie right now.

Totally different?
It's the same card with Kyrie being the Chinese red Version.

[asujbl]

Totally different?
It's the same card with Kyrie being the Chinese red Version.

It's not even close to the same card

Kyrie is the Chinese Red Version (as you just stated) with a totally different print run and market.

The Davis is the /99 true RPA

Totally different.

The NT RPA's I posted are much closer to the same card. Both are /199 and both are "true" RPA's

[willsmyth8882]

Davis and it's not even close. Irving is one of the most overrated players in the nba. Wall got snubbed!

[Cervantes]

Davis, as I don't have Kyrie in my top 5 of NBA PG's, and Davis is probably going to be pretty special for a long, long time.
