Barkley just said Kawhi is the best player in the world.

[apalisoc_9]

Provided he continues hes current play, hes going to be in that discussion next year. I remeber when he got top 5 player comments and people had trouble accepting it but it eased througb fans as the new age media guys started to align themselves with that opinion.

Next year is the best player in the world campaign for Kawhi.

Damn, to think he was a rookie that everyone thought would.be just decent except for me of course and a bunch of other smart scouting talent and now hes on pace to claim that top dog in the league territory.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN WRONG ABOUT LEONARDS PROGRESSION AS A PLAYER. Exciting times.

[lefty]

Did he mention MVParker?



Did he?







DID HE ?

[dabom]

Called porker a good role player.

[pookenstein]

So op wanted to trade the future best player on the planet for Beal and Ariza... Why do you hate the Spurs, Apa?

[pookenstein]

Smdh. I almost forgot that part...

[Obstructed_View]

If you forsaw his progression to the best player in the world, why did you want the team to trade him before he had any real value?

[ChumpDumper]

lol FanDuel bet.

[KimmyGib]

Barkley is absolutely right as usual. Kawhi will go down as the greatest player of all time. Only vanilla mainstream player fans can't accept this.

In before this is bumped for a meltdown after Kawhi has a bad game.

[RD2191]

Kawhi needs to work on his playmaking abilities before I can call him the best player in the world. He's close though. Only a few more players who are as impactful as Kawhi on both sides of the ball.

[Brazil]

no

any other question ?

Agreed. This summer is tough to be huge for him, development wise. I wonder how much all the injuries his first 3 or 4 summers impacted his development.

[SpursFan86]

Curry is definitely #1 at the moment and LeBron/KD have solid arguments as well, but outside of those 3 I'd take Kawhi over anyone.

[Robz4000]

Eh, Curry has come back down to Earth lately (though it might be the injury). Lebron hasn't really stopped being #1.

[SpursFan86]

Eh, Curry has come back down to Earth lately (though it might be the injury). Lebron hasn't really stopped being #1.

I think it says a lot that Curry "coming back down to Earth" is him scoring putting up 23 and 7 on a 68 TS% while dealing with an injury.

As for LeBron, it really depends on whether his jumper is there or not. Last postseason + first 30 games of this season he was absolutely awful from outside of the paint, and when he has no jumper, he's not the best player in the world. But he seems to be shooting better lately, so we'll see. I won't say that he's not close to Curry, but I definitely think Curry has been better the past season and a half.

FWIW, I should specify that if we're just looking at what people have done this season, Kawhi could be argued over anyone besides Curry. But going forward I don't expect him to continue shooting as well as he has, and that's why I say guys like LeBron/KD might be better...I'd love to be proven wrong though.

[cutewizard]

Thon Maker says "hello" in 5 years time!

lol

[cutewizard]

There are many things that mainstream american media does not accept......

During his peak, Sabonis was the best player in the world, not recognized

Allan Caidic might have been the best shooter in the world, not recognized

Oscar Schmidt might have been the best player in the world, not recognized

During the last title run of LA, Pau Gasol was the best player in the world, not recognized

mainstream american media, run by the fucking illuminati, is an idiot's world!

LeBron I can see, but Durant doesn't really play defense. LeBron impacts the game in more ways than Durant (or Curry for that matter). LeBron's defense and rebounding put him ahead of both Curry and Durant.

[SpursIndonesia]

I will take Beal & Ariza over Kawhi, a nice 2 over 1 deal that the OP have proposed in this forum. It's in record, can't be wrong, only vanilla fans disagree with it.

[100%duncan]

Spursfan pissed on Apa trolling. Ok thats fine. But then they go on do the same on a thread praising the Spurs best player. Hypocrites imho

[BD24]

Apa claims he was a Kawhi fan from the beginning, yet he is nowhere to be found in the Kawhi draft thread. Same thing with the Church of Kawhi Leonard.

Where were you at that day Joshua? To busy lusting after your aunt to give us hard hitting basketball takes?

What are you talking about? This has nothing to do with praising Kawhi. Anybody who is a Spurs fan should be a fan of Kawhi and appreciate what he is doing for our team. The barrage of negative comments has nothing to do with it and a blanket comment calling all "Spursfan" a hypocrites is just foolish.

apalisoc_9 (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=11260)



I think there's still a lot of hype surrounding him so we can take advantage of that.

He's a terrible offensive player so we can exploit dumbass teams.

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Kawhi is the best two way player in the game and I think that is what Barkley is getting at. There are several players that I would say are better offensively. But defensively, Kawhi is the best in the NBA.

Moreover, KD does not belong in any serious discussion. The guy is great on one end of the floor.

During the GSW-LAL game on Thursday Reggie Mller addressed the issue. He said that Kawhi was the best two-way player in the league BUT was not the best player. There were others that were better. Reggie Miller - :lmao
