Kawhi Leonard's defense on LeBron underrated?

[Wildcat67]

I get annoyed when people bring up that James had X amount of points as a reason that Kawhi wasn't actually that great defensively against LeBron. Well that only works if you didn't pay attention.

Just got done rewatching game 5, by my count James scored over Kawhi exactly one time for 2pts on a difficult fadeaway with Kawhi's hand in his face.

He did almost all his scoring on switches or with Kawhi out with foul trouble.

Yeah he barely scored on kawhi, playing him close and making him uncomfortable really was the better decision rather than playing him loose and making his passes easy

Imagine if we had actually played defense on him last year. This could be our back 2 back.
