Ok, but...
60 games. Meh.
Whether or not we want to accept it, 99% of the world believes he almost singlehandedly steered Brooklyn's franchise into oncoming traffic.
What he did after the trade is hard to credit, since the Mavs were worse than before.
I realize there's another side to all of that, but I get why the modern, national meta on Kyrie is so negative, I really do.
