MVParker actually averaged more pts than Poor Man's lebron tbh. not to mention Spurs team (Duncan, Diaw, Green, Mills, Evita) were playing out of their minds.

but don't let facts get in the way

I think he certainly has a place in the NBA, and will consistently be a solid role player, but that's about it. Nothing wrong with that though. I'd say more of a Shane Battier, Tony Allen type of player. Mostly defense, capable of putting up some points when his team needs him to, but not necessarily a scorer.

I love watching bitter s get proven wrong

Kawhi Leonard should be at least the top 20. If the offensed was focused on him more, it would probably move him to at least 15. That will never happen so it'll be 20.

well he's been playing top 10 since back from injury. let's see what develops...

[Phillip]

Has he been playing like a superstar lately or something? I mean he's had some nice games but hasn't exactly been a world beater. at anyone who seriously thinks he's superstar material or a perennial all star

Not calling him LeBron, but has been around 17/10/3/3 with his Top 10 quality defense since coming back from injury. Not bad.

he's playing like the #1player in the league that he is.

Glorified Josh Howard, imho. He's spurs future franchise player though, which insinuates what a long dark period the Spurs will endure after Duncan retires.

Agreed tbh. Future is bleak with an FMVP. I'm sure the future after Dirk would be better tho.

Spurs fans overreaction to Leonard's good performance pretty much reminds me of the Lockets fans during the Yao epoch in the 2000s. It was like, every time one of Lockets role players had a good game (like Mike James) they acted like they got a third "star" besides Yao and T-Mac, but most times such performances would turn out to be ephemeral. Leonard is far better than the likes of Mike James, of course, but I'm afraid he's already about playing near his ceiling now tbh. Leonard would be a legit #2 or #3 on a championship contender, like what he today is, but you'd be at best a marginal playoff team with him being your #1 tbh.

This dude is already the best rebounder at the SF position and arguably the best defender as well. Add to that the fact that he's been giving the Spurs 17-18 ppg since the first week or two of the season when he had pink eye. Add to that the fact that he's only 23 years old.

Then it becomes apparent how re ed it is to compare him to Allen, Battier or Josh Howard.

Speaking of FMVP, Danny Green would've also won it if Manu had missed one less freebie, or if Duncan hadn't missed those easy layups in game 6 of 2013 finals.

Yah and Danny Green and Kawhi have the same skillset and ceiling.

There was a time back around 06 and 07 when many Mavs fans were holding similar discussions concerning Josh's squad status. Many people thought it was already Josh's team when he averaged slightly more points than Dirk, it was the start of the 06/07 season if I remember correct. People thought Dirk was nearly done just like Van Horn and many other white bigs at that age. And now, ten years later Dirk is still pursuing another ring with the fellow boys in blue, while there's basically nothing to remember about Josh except that he was the first NBA player to admit smoking marijuana.
