How is KG higher than Curry?
i'd assume weed but i don't know
As far as postseason performance career is concerned, Kawhi is ahead of KG. Dude got owned by soft ass MVPau in the 2010 Finals when Perkins/Fat Baby/Powe/PJ Brown couldn't save him.
ST s on KG because its full of duncan/dirk fans tbh. the gap between garnett and duncan wasn't as big as we like to think, and KG's career was hampered by minnesota's ty rosters than anything. one of the GOAT two way players. he's criminally underrated here imo. a borderline point forward with multiple seasons averaging over 5 assists and even averaged 6. his game would also translate to today quite easily because of his ability to switch on defense. imagine him being a modern center. you also know that given his shooting ability, if he played today, he'd develop a decent 3 point shot as well
all the older bigs who had 2 point jump shots have extended their range to 3... pau/marc gasol, serge ibaka, brook lopez. would be silly to assume that KG woulnd't have as well

KG was declining and 34 years old, while MVPau was at his peak. compare that to the 2008 finals. that's where "Paussy" was bornAs far as postseason performance career is concerned, Kawhi is ahead of KG.

uh no. KG didn't have the bball IQ to win like Duncan had, and didn't have the killer instinct Dirk had. He was a street baller turned NBA player with freak athleticism/length. He had great defense though. So just totally different players, the only similarity was the position they played and their height
Put Prime Dirk or Prime TD on a ty team and they make at least the conference finals in their day (see the 02 Spurs or the Mavs after Nash left, with Devin Harris as their #2). Put KD on a ty team (most of those Wolves teams except the 03-04 ensemble) and they don't sniff the later playoff rounds against the same compe ion
KG is a Anthony Davis like player.
Difficult list
Top: Malone, Barkley, Dirk and Durant
Middle: Robinson and Leonard
Bottom: Wade, Curry and KG

I put Malone 1 for his amazing consistency. 14 time all star, 14 all NBA teams, 2 league MVP's, his great D and he retired 2nd all time in Scoring. Maybe the most underrated legend ever because of no rings. But he lost to MJ twice..
Durant is way down the list because I don't reward him joining the 73 win bandwagon..
Karl Malone
Kevin Durant
Dwyane Tyrone Wade
Dirk Nowitzki
Kawhi Leonard
Stephen Curry
Charles Barkley
Kevin Garnett
David Robinson
Wow.
Curry is super underrated
Sad.
Kawhi is so difficult all-time, he has the most important parts of the resume but he has to get the all-time scoring numbers and all-stars and MVPs. His will be a very weird career to rank to be fair if he doesn't get a solid 5-6 seasons of MVP level play. So I'll go with:
Dirk
Kawhi (might very well be first in a couple of years, both of his rings are legendary)
Curry
DWade (if not for '06 refs he probably goes behind Durant on this list, but history is what it is right now)
Karl Malone (he needed offensive help more than most, but he probably would have had a ring if not for Jordan. Still, should have beat him in '98 though)
Durant (this was difficult but I'll take the Mailman's consistency and loyalty over Durant's).
Robinson
Barkley (arguably a higher peak than Robinson, but his latter years were awful)
KG
p.s Sorry but KG barely belongs on this list. If you can't be the number one offensive player on a championship team, you just can't compete with all-time legends. It has become abundantly clear now, that the unique skill that defines championship franchise players is the ability to take, and make, difficult shots consistently in the latter rounds of the playoffs. If you can't do that, you are putting your team in a very difficult position financially because essentially they have go and get an alpha scorer with the second slot of the payroll - and this usually happens with veterans willing to sacrifice.
KG's offensive game was nowhere near that planet.
Yeah Leonard is not going to be one of those guys that retires with great numbers. He still way under 20 points per game. And his total points are also going to be far lower than most guys in the Hall of Fame. However in terms of the rings, finals MVPs, all NBA selections, accolades like defensive player of the year. He already has a Hall of Fame resume.
The strange thing about this is that Kawhi has truly developed into a historically good tough shot maker. It's a weird blend of raw power and balance, but he killed every team this year in that 10-15 feet range and no one could stop him. That's a sign of all-time greatness, and easily comparable to MJ, Kobe, LBJ, KD (T-Mac too, if not for that back..).
It would be very strange if he ends up with pedestrian career averages since he has shown to be an amazing scorer actually.
Put some respek in Jason Eugene Terry's name(Howard/Terry/Harris vs. TOSB Sprewell/Cassell)
BTW, Devin Harris outplayed PRIME Porker in the '06 series.
