Kyrie Irving of the Brooklyn Nets was one of the players left off of the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team. Chris Broussard and Nick Wright speculate on the reasons why Kyrie could have been left off the list, and decide whether it’s egregious that he was left out.

There’s an argument for Kyrie Irving being top 75 in the NBA — Broussard | NBA | FIRST THINGS FIRST

Only number 1 options should be on the top 75 list.
Kyrie is a good player but is he all time great? Not a great defender, facilitator. Hasn't won a ring as the best player on his team. Hasn't had much of any success as the best player on Team's when he was their Batman. He's a HOF player, but not a top 75, not close.
No scoring titles, no assist titles, couldn’t lead a team to the playoffs without another star (and a better one at that), no major award votes. If skills, a single title as #2, and the clutch shot of 2016 gets you into the top 75, then sure. I’d take Dwight over him all time
Sorry but , I don’t have Dame over Kyrie
Top 75 is a body of work, not memorable moments. You have to play consistently to have a body of work. How many playoffs has he actually played in where he was the focal point. Infact how many playoffs has he been in period besides when he was with Lebron.
How about Alonzo Mourning, Kevin Johnson, etc
He never carried a team but he went 2-0 in the conference finals before injury when they were number 1 seed
Kyrie is definitely top 75
Kyrie's career was save by LeBron and Durant.
Dwight Howard was snubbed from 75th players,
people talk bad about kyrie kyrie beat curry couple years ago don't forget that kyrie is a all time great player he can do it all shoot the ball shoot the midrange and three point range and can layup the ball at an elite level
kyrie is way better than dame that ain't even a close kyrie is way better let's be real kyrie got a ring kyrie is a good player give kyrie a chance he can flat out score the lights out only point guard better than kyrie is curry and that's it or maybe Chris Paul
Last I checked “handles” doesn’t translate to winning… Kyrie has proven he can’t lead a team to pretty much anything…
He’s very skilled but this ain’t a top 75 most skilled players list…
Ray didn't carry them, he led them, that Milwaukee team was really good.
Good thing they didn't put Klay, his arrogant and sarcastic 🤨
LeBron not beating the Warriors without Kyrie. Imagine if he never got hurt their time in Cleveland. There’s so many what if moments through NBA history
How tf did Dragic get a MVP vote?
Robert Horry made about 7 of those shots and has 7 rings
Jokic went from not top 75 to top 20 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Wait didn’t harden make it nd dame wtf they do better then kyrie
Nobody nick said but t-Mac I can say is better nobody else
