About to blow up, Top 3 player
Good son. .
Pg is averaging 25 on a great team.. leonard not so much. Leonard is nowhere close to pg talent. Take off your rose coloured shades bro. Its clouding your judgement.
you're a dumbass, kawhi could easily average 25 if he was the 2nd option on his team, he takes shots behind tony, tim, green, and even manu sometimes. kawhi is also a better defender than paul. and lol @ pg garbage fg%
We don't run our offense through Leonard, tbh... I don't think it's a 'homer' take at all. He's averaging 12ppg by just taking opportunity shots and fastbreak baskets.
I do think PG has better handles than Leonard and is further along in development (he has one more year in the league). Leonard, IMO, is the better lockdown defender.
Whoa Kemosabe. Pump the homerific brakes son. Leonard doesn't get his points as a #1 option. He eats 3rd at best. Given how young he is, does it not disturb you that he hasn't yearned to be a bigger part of the offense? He is your best athlete - he should demand a bigger piece of the pie. Shaq/Kobe. Shaq was the man bar none. 21-year old Kobe improved his game every year. It got to the point whereas he wasn't willing to go with the status quo. He wanted it. He fought Shaq and PJ for it tooth and nail. The results? 3-peat. Then he evicted Shaq when he saw Shaq didn't continue to show the same commitment to excellence. For good measure, he went on to lead us to 3 more Finals and b2b chips. I just don't see that hunger in Leonard that the all-time greats have. Even with those air balls he launched as a rookie, you knew he had it, and eventually would lead us to rings. I just don't see that in Leonard.
Simply put, if teams game planned to stop Leonard as a #1 option - like they do for PG on a nightly basis - he'd likely see a major dip in his production and efficiency as a player. Then this silly comparison endsPERIOD. PG >>>> Leonard and it ain't even close.
You lost all credibility at Kobe.
And who says he doesn't want more responsibility? What you're saying is that he should be a ballhog like Kobe and start chucking up shots, Kawhi is better than that. He isn't some who is worried about his personal stats. Seriously lakerfan, you're all wrong.
Holy homerific revisionist history batman
Seriously, I don't know about basketball but that had to be one of the worst takes of all time. How the is that guy bolded?
lmao at the revisionist history... Shaq was the 3 peat commanding the attention nobody else did... when Kirby thought he was too cool for school, he ran Shaq out of town and proceeded to post a losing record, including missing the playoffs, in his prime until he could get another big to coattail on... In other words, no, you don't want leonard to be another narcissist that thinks he's better than he really is
PG has g ood swagger, at least they are not comparing him or anointing him to be the next jordan or rapist from LA....
I knew my post would cause some butthurt. My bad son.
Truth hurts? Greatness is greedy.
no, it was just a terrible job
Larry Bird as a mentor >>>>>> MJ as role model
Was the bolded incorrect? Was he not a major part of a 3-peat and b2b chips after The Eviction!?
he's a legit superstar but even the standard of a superstar may vary considerably imho. The prime Rashard Lewis was a legit superstar too, hope PG won't end up following that way.
Not sold on his dribbling and jumpshots. His offensive decision making is not there yet too, did several mistakes in the games against Miami.

Kobe was dragged to rings. He cost the Lakers at least 2 other rings, maybe more. He ran Shaq off then Phil. Then the world found out just how much of a role Bryant played in winning rings as he sucked ass for a few seasons prior to The Whining which spawned The Gift which inspired Lakers fan en masse thus The Influx and subsequently The Facade and from there The Coddling. Now they've entered The Sucking and Lakers fan has commenced The Reminiscing followed by The Revision.
16 hours later... My post still stings det BNSF ass.
