Kawhi has the sharpest trajectory of anyone in NBA History

[lilbthebasedgod]

Kirby was the best high school player when he declared for the draft meanwhile Kawhi only got a scholarship from SDSU.

and? So that makes his ascendancy even quicker. He got better quicker in the NBA, and got better quicker in his basketball life.

yea besides the monster rebound and dunk to start the series. Kawi turned into a Mama's boy when the pressure came on. lots of upside and great player. but that's what he needs to work on. being mentally tough

Kobe ascendancy from being the best high school player in the country to becoming an All-NBA 1st team player is on a lesser trajectory than Kawhi ascending from NEVER having been an all-star to being All-NBA 1st team. It took Kawhi one season, while it took Kobe 5 seasons (same w/ KG). LeBron made All-NBA 1st team in his 3rd season.

Carmelo for example has never made All-NBA 1st team in his career.

The only part of his actual game I need to see improve is his dribbling so he can handle the ball more
Assertiveness is all in his head & how he acts
The only parts of his actual game I wanna see improve is his bribbling so he can handle the ball more
That Kawhi/LMA two-man game should see alot of burn nxt year

[Seventyniner]

I agree that Kawhi's rate of improvement is crazy. It's almost exponential. If his trajectory continues he'll be a runaway MVP next season, Curry be damned.

But I don't expect that. Kawhi will be 1st or 2nd team All-NBA for the next several years easy, barring injuries and such.

I didint even expect him to get first team all nba this year

[spursistan]

next season is the first of 6-7 prime years 25-32..will probably peak in 2018-2020..Get him more talent of his age group and young coach ASAP..

50/50 chance he's on another roster then.

To explain, the spurs have 3 years to see if you can build a championship team with Kaw. If LMA starts to age fast, and the roster isnt looking good it would be malpractice not to trade him and tank.

Did you forget to take your lithium today? Never seen such a downer

It's so frustrated and dissepointed that for the second year in a row the season run out for us like nothing, like we wasting playoff advance and le oportonity so easily, as if we geeting over whelmed come pressure time causing us not to give our best shot at all... Someone need to put his finger on that mental problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First team all nba this year bro. Plus DPOY and second MVP voting. Decent consolation for not winning this year tbh.
