Players who are great normally have one season were they have Numbers that rise massively over just one season. They go from 15 points to 25 points and people can see the difference very easily. There other kind of stars who roles changes but there numbers stay the same. Players who become more leaders then stat monsters are harder to say they are super stars. They still need to prove themselves somewhere. That is the playoffs.
Kyrie Iriving is one of those stars. The kind that become better leaders instead of getting numbers. And because He improves off the stat sheet, he still doesn't get the same kind view as other players. if James harden loses to warriors this year it doesn't change his position has a once in a lifetime talent on the offensives end. But can the same be said for Kyrie. I believe that he is judged by his team advancement over his individual stats. So if his team cant win then he is not a true star just a regular star. so in my view of the media it is very important that Kyrie can win as a leader and not a sidekick to some who gets more spotlight because of his numbers. The only other star who has this kind of star power is Stephen Curry right now. He doesn't make more points or any kind of major different stat. His stat line from last year to this year is very smilier. His stat line last year was 24 points, 5 assist, ans 1 steal. the next year was 23 points, 1.5 steals and 6.5 assist. He is seen has good because he has done nothing but win titles for his team and making big shots when they need it.
In short yes Kyrie playoff success is his only that matter. So many people in his position have had impressive season and will be looked as great players because of there stats alone. But Kyrie has to do more with his team success like a Steve Nash or Curry to leave a lasting legacy.
