Kyrie is easily one of the most talented players I've ever seen but he isn't better than Luka.
Better shooter and ball handler? Yes. Arguably better finisher. Thats where the comparison ends though.
Luka is an entire offense by himself and is no slouch in any of the categories listed above. And he still has A LOT to improve on as well.
Is there a timeline where Kyrie fucking takes his job as a professional basketball player seriously and not be on some weird shit 70% of the time? Who knows but if there is, then maybe in that timeline this is a legitimate topic. Maybe. Like I said, Kyrie's obvious talent vs what he has actually achieved just doesn't line up.
Anyway, Kenyon knows hoop better than me and better than most of the people on this board but his take is bad. Rather than comparing the two players against one another, why not focus on the actual damage that duo can do? If Kyrie can just fucking play a full season without injury and off court drama, I see the Mavs exceeding current expectations.
