Best Player in the NBA
Superstar
All-star
Good Role player
And all that has nothing to do with Kawhi or anyone else outside of Josh Howard.
Kawhi is under the Spurs umbrella and based on reports is a hard working, quiet dude on his own. He still lives with his mom.
Not to mention that just going off on pure physique, Howard never had the physical specimen type body Kawhi has. Even if their at udes were the same Kawhi would have a higher ceiling based on his physique alone tbh.
top 10 and top 15 when he isn't even the clear cut 3rd best player on his own team.
9-9 Team without Leonard, 18-7 with, hmmmmmm wonder if that guy is important?
There is no argument for Kawhi not being at the very least 1a/1b alongside Timmy.
Not sure if trolling or just that re ed. Probably the latter tbh.

I have to agree kawhi is not CLEARLY the best player in the team. But you are talking about a team with the best PF ever who seems not to age and 2 other HOFers.
Tim Duncan is still the most important Spur. MVParker is the engine. But Kawhi is the lubrication to the entire machine. Spurs don't get anywhere without any of those 3.
and yes, Kawhi has been playing as top 10 player in the league since his injury. Hopefully this will continue.
Since Mo Williams scored 50 the other night, he had a stretch in which he was clearly the best player in the NBA by a mile, since for a stretch, he averaged 50 ppg
agree 3 games is not much. we'll revisit in 2 weeks.
But everything else is pretty close IMO
"the world, Chico. and everything in it..."
I actually think the pnr is by far the weakest part of his game. He has finding angles to scrape defenders and dealing with the grabbing and contact to maintain his dribble. He is fine when he is closer to the basket because he can pick the ball up and use that athleticism. Up high he will lose the handle when making those cuts and getting hit. He'll let the ball get wide on him and make a mess when he tries to recover the move.
Tony Parker is a s of himself and is about the worst starting PG in the league defensively. His RAPM numbers are in the toilet.
Leonard is the best rebounding SF in the league, arguably the best perimeter defender in the league, and is a threat to fill up the stat sheet in all categories. Anyone who doesn't think Leonard is at least a top 20 player focuses on raw offensive numbers too much.
Who tf knew it wasn't the dro talking when that Dro210 called him the next Pippen.
Pippen 2.0, point forward once parker is gone in 3 yrs, perennial all-star tbh
To be fair, the last few poor performances by Kawhi came in games against teams with defensive juggernauts at SF like Matt Barnes, Kyle Singler, and CJ Miles.
Jam with the not so subtles
Jam goin in knee deep tbh.
I've never seen Leonard look so gassed as he did last night. In the first quarter no less.
Irrelevant.
I want Leonard on my team over LeBron, MJ, or any other player ever because he is such a great, stand-up guy who does more than just score points, because lets be honest, scoring isn't all that important in basketball. You don't have to outscore your opponent to win games, you can out-rebound, out-defend, and out-class them and still win despite having less points, because scoring means hardly anything.
Tell me more.
Philly with the sarcasm goods
As i expected, his head got too big after winning the FMVP and he has become nonchalant
Take him out of the starting lineup and see how he reacts
Max player
You want enrique to take 30 shots a game?
