    Sadly, you aren't smart enough to realize that being #2 in MVP race or making 1st team doesn't mean he's the 2nd best player in the league.

    Those are REGULAR SEASON awards/accolades and Kawhi had a better regular season than Durant and other SF/PFs.

    Like many others posted in this thread, neither Curry is the MVP now, in the playoffs.
    Curry's #'s vs Thunder.......24.3ppg/5.5reb//4.5assists/41.9%-2pt/37.2%-3pt

    Leonard's #'s vs Thunder...22.8ppg/7.8reb/3.4assists/44.9%-2pt/26.3%-3pt

    Are you trying to say that it's Curry's fault the Warriors are losing the series to the Thunder or are you just trying to justify your own double standard that Leonard shouldn't take blame for his postseason performance because he put up numbers that back up his #2 in MVP voting but, Curry should take the blame because he's not playing at an MVP level? The numbers look pretty similar to me. Get off your high horse.

    Leonard is a great player and have exceeded all my expectations. I was hesitant to call him a top 10 player at the start of this season but he's definitely that now, maybe at #4 or #5. But let's not get carried away. If Durant and Leonard swapped teams, the Spurs would be the ones playing the Warriors right now. Durant is still a top 3 player and guarded Leonard very well when he needed to, forcing Leonard to shoot low percentage fade away jumpers over a 7 footer.

    The voters took into account team records. OKC were up and down in the regular season (still, they won 55 games, which is pretty good).
    Having Durant doesn't improve the supporting cast. OKC still would have won and probably had an easier time at it. No one would have been able to shut down Westbrook like Kawhi did (Green is a great defender but he didn't do much to slow down Russ), Kawhi vs KD probably ends up being a wash. OKC role players were better, KD isn't changing that. Really LMA would have needed to carry the team.

    So Kawhi outplayed Curry and people are whining about Kawhi's performance?

    equal offense + vastly superior defense = superior performance

    or is that too difficult to grasp?

    Curry averaged 30 ppg in the regular season, Kawhi 21.2.

    Kawhi scored 23 ppg against the Thunder, better than his regular season average...Curry? 24.

    Now, tell me who didn't meet the expectations?

    KL is the best defender in the league but its painfully evident he was more important offensively. You dont try to downgrade to 50-40-90 scorer who scores 21 in 32 minutes. Thats re ed.

    The Spurs just need a rollman and a Pg that can penetrate and defend. And hope that Tony can provide 11ppg of the bench.
    This. Even though losing was sad we really only need 2 pieces to be a le contender next season. And neither of those pieces are hard to find.

    When some guy bumped old threads in the offseason, I read that Hoops said Kawhi will be just a good defender... "just good on defense"

    After that I understood his salty posting about Kawhi in every thread this season

    I'm sure Kawhi would be willing to give up his first team all NBA for the chance to take his team out of first or second round.
    The Kawhi I heard in interviews didn't care about RS awards at all. All that mattered was the championship, in his own words. I agree he would rather still be competing than home early despite personal awards. Those are nice and all but it's still a disappointing end to the season.

    That's not on him alone. I think all guys need to look at themselves in that locker room and evaluate what they can do to help the team at this point.

    That's a simpleton's response. You didn't even bother to answer the question. By that logic, Kevin Durant should be MVP and Russell Westbrook should be runner up to MVP because they both stepped it up in the playoffs and both outplayed your boy Leonard.

    Comparing him to Hakeem, you are correct. He has ZERO rings as the leader of a team. He will have ZERO RINGS as a leader of a team.

    Kawhi is 24. Hakeem had ZERO RINGS until he was 31. Jordan had ZERO RINGS until he was 28. LeBron had ZERO RINGS until he was 27. Should I continue?

    Not really, both those players at 24 were better than KL AND far and away the best players/leading their team. Neither had a side-kick like LMA, or remotely close to the crew that KL has, AND STILL had better stats. Had you been alive during this time, you wouldn't type such stupid .
