One game is not going to define his career

[YGWHI]

Game 5 Celtics vs Cavs 2010 playoffs

LeBron James scored 15 points, 3-14 from the field.


Game 6 Mavs vs Warriors 2007 playoffs

The Mavs had the MVP but Nowitzki was nowhere to be found in a decisive game 6, he shot 2-13 from the field.
He averaged 24.6 points 50.2 % FG in the 2006-07 regular season but in the series against the Warriors he averaged 19.7 points and shot 38.3 %.

Game 2 Lakers vs Boston 2008 Finals

Ray Allen, 0-13, one of the worst shooting perfomance in NBA history (0-14 Dennis Johnson)

Lmao, si said Leonard is top 10 but......

"As L.A. stormed back in the series to take Games 6 and 7, Leonard’s shot abandoned him, his assertiveness seemed to wane, and he wasn’table to exert the alpha scorer influence that coach Gregg Popovich seemed to be requesting in must-score situations"

Pretty much the truth. Leonard is either a flawed first option or a super rich role player.

If someone wants to disagree with me intelligently tell me why Leonard is a star and not a role player?

Well, SI also said "While the media-averse Leonard is hardly the type to issue grand pronouncements about how he plans to draw motivation from those experiences, his track record suggests that he’s unlikely to make the same mistake twice. Leonard is coming back better, and potentially a lot better, in 2016. You’ve been warned "

If they talk about only game 6 and 7 because Kawhi did a great job in the other games, why someone can think two games are going to define his star or role player status?

We can make a list of NBA stars who struggled in their first years in the league, or in the playoffs, and still were, are, stars and offensive threats. LeBron, Dirk, Chris Paul, Jason Kidd...the list is extensive.
Comparison between Kawhi four years as pro and Steve Nash? Nash averaged 7.2 ppg and 3.8 assists in his first four seasons.

If taking only a couple of games as example is the criteria to judge Kawhi's game and future, why don't take his last games of 2014 Finals too?

He has improved consistentently every season, why someone would think it's a sure thing that he won't get better?

If Kawhi is just a role player, why his play was the biggest barometer for the Spurs' success last season?
Because of the record without him? Cause when Kawhi played at all-star level the Spurs didn't lose?

Most people would understand there is no need to jump to conclusions about the game of a young talented player who just turned 24 after two bad games in playoffs.

But if you are K...it's obvious that rationality is not your strong point.

The le of your post is misleading but then again you are Kawhi's pr man. Kawhi didn't have 1 bad game he had 3 games in the Clipper series. The issue with Kawhi is consistency. I have said this to you about hundred ing times. Just like I said before name me a series that Kawhi was great from start to finish? You can't do it. Also Dirk and Lebron are former league MVP's what a stupid comparison you made right there.

Kawhi didn't have 1 bad game he had 3 games in the Clipper series.

That was SI quote, they say two games, 6 and 7.
They give him a pass in Game 5? Maybe, maybe not. Bad shooting night, but he still made his clutch FTs, 8-10 FTs, got the calls, 18 points, the Spurs won.

Also Dirk and Lebron are former league MVP's what a stupid comparison you made right there.

Stupid comparison if someone says Kawhi and them have similar careers, that is clearly not the case here, LeBron James, Jordan, Duncan are unique talents in the history of the game.

The point is the stars can have bad games, while K...says Kawhi is a role player because he had two bad games.

The le of your post is misleading....

How many times we hear "One game doesn't define a career" the le is about it, not specifically the number of playoffs games in last series.
