Irving is a better scorer. He isn't just flashier, he's more creative and dynamic with the ball. He's a better ball-handler and I wouldn't even say Lowry is that much better of a playmaker. Head to head doesn't represent their entire seasons.

Irving averaged 24.4 Pts/G on .610 TS% while playing 32.2 MIN/G. That's 27.3 Pts/Per 36.

He's also proven to elevate his game in the post-season. In the last two post-seasons, he's averaging 25.5 Pts, 4.9 Ast on .573 TS%. (Not to mention his performance in two finals appearances. 29.4 Pts/G in 2017 and 27.1 Pts/G in 2016.) I don't get why people act like this doesn't matter.

I love Lowry, but he's coming off of two great games and frankly this is the only kind of time where this comparison would swing in his favor because this sub loves hot takes.
