Coach Nick hops on the Clutch wagon re:Kawhi

Yeah some of those drives to the hoop look really awkward, and you can see the other team calling for a travel he's like a clumsy, more efficient, less athletic version of Kobe

In what way is he clumsy?

I've been saying for awhile now that Kawhi has been getting the Lebron treatment with the travels Catching the ball and taking little steps here and there is nit-picky because you really have no advantage over your defender but the blatant 3-4 step switch your pivot foot travels in the post that Lebron is famous for make the game look bad. Kawhi has made huge progress over the years but that footwork needs some serious polish, not only in the post but with his dribble drives as well where he tends to get away with an extra step. He has Lebron-like mechanics that he's still young enough to shed.

Does Frauden travel? And more or less than Kawhi?

I think the way he's built makes his moves look awkward. Reminds me of Dwight Howard or DRob and Lebron. Big broad shoulders keeps their moves from looking as graceful imo.

Harden is the king of travel, the king of flop, the king of free throw begging, the king of dumb shots. Harden is everything I hate about today's game.

Forgot to add that he plays absolutely no in defense. Harden is the anti-Kawhi basically. Seeing that dude mentioned as an MVP candidate makes me sick.

LeBron is very graceful imo, Kiwi reminds me of Blake, very awkward watching him go to work, but he puts the ball in the hoop

Lebron is so athletic plus naturally talented to move around in a basketball court. While Kawhi has a freakish like build close to prime bron, he isn't as naturally gifted obviously.
