NBA 2018-19: Kyrie Irving vs Stephen Curry - Who has had the better season so far?

#2. The impact they have had on their respective teams

Kyrie went to Duke and was drafted 1st overall by the Cavs.

When it comes to contributions towards their respective team's progress, Curry outmatches Irving by a huge margin. Not only is Steph the third highest scorer in the league(27.8 ppg), his presence on the court has often been the difference between a win and a loss for Golden State. Currently, GSW rank 1st in the West standings with Steph being their leading scorer throughout the season.

Even though Uncle Drew leads the Celtics on the offensive end, he is yet to attain the leadership level that Curry plays with night in and night out. Ever since Irving's return this season, the Celtics have not been the same as they were last year. There have been struggles all along the way as they still wait to clinch a playoff berth, currently down at the 5th spot on the East leaderboard.
