    Not one player has back to the basket fadeaway jumpshots that look as Jordanesque as Kawhi. Kobe is the only one who is/was close.

    I remember there was a thread here a few years back on Kawhi Leonard's ceiling, and the most optimistic projections had him tabbed as a poor man's Scottie Pippen. Now we're mentioning him in the same sentence as Michael Jordan.

    Jordan would score 45 on a routine "big night." Kawhi has Jordan-like stretches, but Jordan would do it all day everyday.

    The shot was definitely Jordanesque, though...

    Kawhi is pretty damn good, that's for sure.

    I don't think MJ is the right comparison for Kawhi, but that turnaround J is uncannily similar.

    And we shouldn't be.

    We have a fine player but let's stop overrating him like Kobe fans.

    Kawhi really is nothing like MJ except for being an exceptional defender and good in the post for a swingman, but yep, that turnaround is total MJ.

    To see him hit the game winner. Coming of age moment really.

    ing brainfart by the D almost ruined it completely. Then again the clock didn't even start when Elfrid touched it so there would have been that too. I think he missed the layup because he was shocked at just how open he was.

    Ya that almost ruined it.

    Full court back door play. I think 2 spurs kind of blocked each other. Luckily KY got to seal his game defining moment
