Are we witnessing the rise of Kawhichael Jordan?

Any player can hit a game winner / buzzer beater once in a while.

Please let's talk about how great LaMarcus was... you don't wanna be in a situation where everyone talks about Leonard getting all the billboards and LMA pouting off, tbh...

This. I don't want LMA to think he's Kawhian Lillard, lol.

[AFMadison]

No. We're witnessing the rise of Kawhi Leonard.

Vucevic (sp?) had a nice one of his own the other night

[skulls138]

Hes his own person. Unlike Jordan, Bird, Kobe...he wasnt a scoring machine coming into the NBA. Honestly I see some Duncan there too. Kawhi's got determination.

Clearly you didnt watch the game.

[Spurtacular]

The game-winning plays. the clutchness. the elevating teammates. that Alpha gene coming through. With his MJ level work ethic hes STILL getting better. are we witnessing his rise to all time levels of greatness?

Not sure he has the leaps for it, tbh.

[TrainOfThought5]

Not sure he has the leaps for it, tbh.

If he has everything except the ability to dunk from the free throw line, i think he'll be fine.

[SpurPadre]

Does this imply LMA is Lascottie Pippen? Talk about irony...

I think that was his 2nd buzzer beater this season.

[NameLess Scrub]

I did. It was awesome.

I'd love for him to make it a habit, if/when the Spurs need it

TBF he was great tonight scoring like 6 straight points in the 4th qtr.

Jordan's leaps helped him to get shots that Kawhi can't get. If not for that, Kawhi would compare more closely.

Kawhi is his own person. hmmmm

[cutewizard]

Like if you compare Magnus Carlsen to Bobby Fischer?? hahahaha

I'd say more of Kahttie Pippen.

[raybies]

Kawhames worthy

[spurraider21]

does anybody in the league have a better turnaround jumper right now?

[Kawhitstorm]

I'd say more of Kahtttie Pippen.

Pippen didn't really have a fadeaway, never shot above 40% from 3 & he was an elite point-forward; Kawhi's offensive game is actually like Carmelo except he isn't a chucker. Carmelo's 2013-14 season when he shot 45/40/85 w/ 3 assists is the closest to 2015-16 Kawhi.

Although he played a different position, another player that remind me of Kawhi is Gary Payton who came into the league as a defensive specialist & gradually turned himself into a 1st ballot HOFer. GP was the best postup player & defender from the point guard position just as Kawhi is now the best postup player & defender from the SF position. Their trash talk game couldn't be any different though...

I hate the warriors, but Shaun Livingston has a very solid post up turnaround jumper tbh.

Agreed. Jordan had elite athleticism.

[Russo21]

Jordan is an asshole so don't compare the two

[szkorhetz]

If Curry would not play the lights out, Kawhi could easily be the MVP, TBH.
