Myrie isn't looking for his teammates. Especially not now since he's playing alongside Lebron.
He's still a top talent.

^Yea man. What goes under the radar was how his teammates flourished in the NBA finals cuz of him
That's cuz he can move the ball
Curry got a lot of attention and he was able to move the ball elsewhere
Kyrie can just score, idk what else he can do right now

@ Kyrie being a tier 2 PG. You want this bamma leading your team?
He's elite at one thing...and that's shooting. Can't do much of anything else. I've said it before, but at the PG position, I'm probably taking close to 10 guys over him.
Now, as a SG, that's another story.

Who cares about Kyrie being a point guard
Dude plays with the best PG and his name is LeBron James

Please name the 10 people that you are taking over him. Im guessing that list gets real shaky after 5.

Exactly, all he needs to do is score.

Klay, Dray, Iggy guard the dominant scorer. That's a null statement.

The title of the greatest shooter ever who happens to be a quality playmaker for others is special enough to be #1.

Pretty much.
It's better to rank players in tiers, so Russ and Steph are both Tier 1 players... but speaking as one of Westbrook's biggest fans, I have no problem putting Steph ahead of him right now.
If Russ was a lockdown defender, it would be a much better argument, but his laziness and recklessness on that side of the ball hurts his case. Curry's 3PT% is the same as Westbrook's overall FG% (actually it's .8% higher). He's that much better of a shooter than Russ. Again.. if Russ was an average 3PT shooter, then it helps his case even more, but he's a career 30% shooter and his best season was only 33%. His offensive dominance plus good defense and solid shooting could put him over Steph.. but he just doesn't shoot well enough.
Westbrook is a special player, but he's just got a few faults that hurt his case when comparing him to Curry. Westbrook wouldn't even have to be an elite shooter or defender to give him the edge in my mind, he'd just have to be a good one. But Steph's shooting is all-time great and his impact on his team is too hard to pass up.

Conley continues to be criminally underrated.

this narrative is kinda old imo
knowledgeable fans know who he is & what he brings to the table..

if a man doesn't see how Steph Curry is the top ranked PG in 2k going into this season then i don't know what to tell you. i wouldn't even waste my time trying to have a debate with him.

I already did that over the summer...
Just to be clear, I'm talking strictly PGs. Guys who can run a team and facilitate an offense. If you're going by those factors, there isn't a chance in hell you'd have Kyrie anywhere near a top-5...possibly top-10.

Conley is rated exactly where he needs to be.
He's one of the most overrated players on NT so I have no idea where you get that from.

I saw on a fb group that sells second hand PS4 games they were discussing the 2k ratings one guy said That Kobe at this day and age should be rated higher than harden and is still the better player

I'd only take Steph, CP3, Russ and Wall over Kyrie.

Curry
Cp3
Westbrook
Wall
Kyrie
Westbrook's relatively poor finishing ability at the rim along with his undisciplined defense in conjunction with his shot selection and overall lack of shooting prowess why I have him at 3
