People have argued who is better Stephen Curry or Kyrie Irving? Well based on stats Stephen Curry is better than Kyrie because Stephen has played two more seasons then him. However the Cleveland Cavaliers have won against the Golden State Warriors in 2016 which this makes people wonder if Kyrie "is taking over".
