And don't forget Ginobili. He's defense is underrated.
Let's leave it to Kawhi Leonard being the most versatile perimeter defender then. About Ginobili, He's always been a smart defender, but he's been very inconsistent the last couple of seasons tbh. He's having a great half so far in game 4, but consistency matters and Ginobili hasn't had that for over a year.
I have to admit, It's fairly easy to post Kawhi is gonna be a star, Kawhi's gonna be this and that after a dominating performace on the defensive end and shade of star like performance in the offensive end which he did have late in the season when parker was out. I'd like to think most people or at least a good number of them who post those comments are just in the heat of the moment. I know I have posted somehwat similar stuff in game and a minute or two after games.
And in their defense, ( Not me) Ginobilis has had a terrible year. Only Natural to find a replacement.
