Kyrie Irving PG vs. Stephen Curry PG
Kyrie Irving of the Dallas Mavericks as their point guard has had an outstanding season. Averaging 33.2 minutes per game and scoring 25.8 points per game for his team this year demonstrates Irving’s consistent scoring ability; yet his skills extend far beyond just scoring; an average 5.4 assist per game total proves his playmaking capabilities; creating opportunities for his teammates combined with scoring threats makes Irving an effective all-around performer on the court.
Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors remains a formidable presence in the league. After matching Irving in playing time at 33.2 minutes per game, Curry outscored Irving by scoring 26.7 points per game and dishing out an impressive 4.9 assists per game for his Warriors teammates.
