If I had to pick 1 player to build an NBA ream around, it would be Leonard.
Why does the media keep calling Kawhi the best "two way player" in the NBA? I don't recall other superstars being described this way. It's disrespectful.
Basketball is about offense AND defense. If Kawhi is the best when considering both, just call him the best player in the NBA. Or else call Curry the best "one way" player in the NBA.

OP is just keeping it real tbh. And you make a very good point.
Op making a case for best poster under 1500 post, imo
This needs to be a thing
OP is correct but 2 way player is in no way offensive. It is supposed to mean versatility as a player.
Meaning he is great or very good on both ends of the court. Maybe top 2 on defense and maybe top 10 on offense. While Curry is #1 on offense and probably not in the top 50 on defense but his offense and game changing ability still make him the best overall player while not being great on both ends. Nothing to be offended by.
has Lebron ever called the best 2 way player?
He has been called the best player.
You can look at it as disrespectful or respectful. Yes they are seemingly saying that he needs all of his intangibles and not just his one on one ability to make a great player...which somehow is lesser...glad to be a Spurs fan, but in reality thats a compliment...so em
OP is right in that the media is speaking out of both sides of its mouth. If you're the best two way player in the league, you're usually the best player in the league. Media just doesn't want to commit here.
That said, Kawhi is neck and neck with Wardell right now. It's a lot closer between them than people think, as I've been saying for the past month.
For sure but I dont mind it. Since, it means he's one of the most unique in our league. MVP candidate as well. I enjoy it tbh
OP with the truth nukes. Media loves to use cute words, Kawhi is one of the best players in the NBA, period, tbh.
not as much as i enjoy ur sig bro J Mendiola freshness

Jessy is a fine babe, but my favourite filipino beauty of all time is the muzzies wife. I forgot her name. I had a huge crush on her brownish skin and beautiful smile. I was 13-14..my mum would watch wowoowee and I and Id shrink...
Right now that half girl, i dont know her name..but shes got brownish skin and black hair and weird accent.
Real beauties.
I see your point, but it's really quite simple why they do it: they don't want to say he's better than Curry, but they know he's a better defensive player, so they give him this le. In other words, they think Curry's offensive advantage outweighs Leonard's defensive advantage.
Does it? We'll see in the playoffs.
Well t's basically saying that he's a 'jack of all trades'. Good at everything. Great in a few categories.
I really want Kawhi to be the best player in the NBA and he's close. But if you look at Curry on the offensive end, he commands so much attention because of his range and what he can do. What that does for his team is incomparable. He creates so much open space and room for everyone to operate and it wrecks a defense. He literally makes everyone on the court better. Not many can really compare in that regard. For example, when you look at LeBron on offense he makes others better but at the same time he also turns his guys into ball watchers which hurts the team. And also I don't care what people say but I think Curry is a good defender as well. So yeah for now he's definitely the best player.
But look out because I can't even see Kawhi's ceiling. He's amazing already at 24. At 26-27 I'm almost certain he'll be capable of being the best player!
Scottie Pippen and Gary Payton were called two-way players. Not sure how people looking for a way to call him the best in the NBA cons utes disrespect, tbh.
Some of you guys are in danger of turning into little playerfans just like the Kobe wonks.
There are also guys like Durant and Harden that are offensive juggernauts, and it's hard to make a case that Leonard's better than they are to casual NBA fans unless you point out how important defense is.
you mean mariel rodriguez? cuz of the weird accent
Kawhi is not great in a few categories. He's the best player on one of the 2 dimensions of basketball.
Mariel!..yup thats her name
The other girl os some teen star..dont know her name. Shes got a weird filipino accent. Apperrently shes half. Forgot her name.
