Had to be carried by a sop re. admiralYou mean like Admiral during the majority his PRIME?
leonard's teams thus far >>>>> admirals team during his primeYou mean like Admiral during the majority his PRIME?
laughable to compare tbh. basically admiral never was basically ever able to do what '03 duncan did, but that's a ridiculous standard. we haven't seen leonard on a talentless team like that yet.
Like I said, regardless of the ignorance of some, Parker has had a HOF career.When it mattered, Porker played like a HOFer for an ENTIRE championship run ONLY in 2007.
Mono question he wins a le in his prime if he had Manu and Parker and Bowen.
Did David ever have a teammate make an all star team during his prime? Sean Elliott, I guess. Sean was good, but not great.You mean like Admiral during the majority his PRIME?
Tough to replace Robinson in that spot. But he doesn't need to win another championship. Just stay healthy and keep playing at this level and he is going to the Hall of Fame.

He helped Sweep Barnes team this year TBH, that Barnes thing didn't work this time. I agree though the aim is to win a le and the earlier exits are not a good look.
It's time for him to become the BEAST and take over games and a series, then I will say he is the 2nd best Spur ever but he is honestly FAR off from that right now.
I don't count the Memphis series, they wasn't an nba team...
No one's winning anything while Danny Green's playing 31mpg
Should leave now bro. This is going to be kawhi's team for another 10 years
Looking forward to how creative your execuses are going to be for his shortcomings the next 10 years.
He quit on the team and was a distraction.******/Rodamn
And there is a very high probability that the Spurs never win a championship again.
I donīt know if you realize what it takes to win a championship in a full season.
2003 Duncan dominated thru out the playoffs and finals.
2005 Manu dominated thru the playoffs and finals.
2007 Probably the easiest le in our era, just like last year for GS. I remember Tony dominating the finals, Manu clicking in the Jazz series... not much more.
2014 Planets aligned and we had the perfect teamwork, Manu and Tim rejuvenated for the finals and Kawhi dominated 3 games.
That's the problem. KL gifted the FMVP to bring a new era of ticket purchasers to SA. Fine, but he's not a first option, maybe not a second. Spurs have to pick up a star or a couple of scorers. KL and LMA crumble under pressure. KL fans forget every Playoffs he's had except FMVP playoffs... convenient.
Agreed I would just add to this that you need a lot of luck to win a championship.
'99 ****** hits the memorial day miracle against the Blazers
'05 Horry hits the game winning 3 against the Pistons. If that 3 doesn't go down I'm convinced the Spurs lose that series.
'14 Manu and Diaw hit clutch shots in the 4th against the Mavs in game 4. The Spurs were on the verge of going down 3-1 if it wasn't for the clutch plays of Manu and Diaw in the final 3 minutes of that game.
In '03 and '07 I felt the Spurs didn't need luck they were clearly better than the teams they played.
Not really. Despite the Spurs elimination, people shouldn't forget 2016 Kawhi playoffs.
He finished #2 in PER with 29.6, #1 in steal per game, #8 in blocks per game, #1 in Def Rtg among perimeter players (96), 22.5 ppg on 50 FG%...
The Spurs don't have a player with those numbers on both ends in playoffs since Tim.
Leonard doesn't have one championship as the best player. Duncan was still the best player on the team in '14. Finals MVP is a foolish award because it doesn't take into account the entirety of the playoffs.
Because he hasn't played that long we should compare both players at the same stage in their careers.
It's clear that Kawhi in his first 5 years had more individual success and accolades than Parker in his first 5 seasons.
Kawhi finished his 5th season with 1 DPOY, being #2 in MVP, All-NBA 1st team, All-Defensive 1st team, to add his FMVP, other DPOY, other All-Defensive 1st team and one All-Defensive 2nd team...We can't say the same about Parker's first years.
Another championship will cement his legacy? Um no bro, he still hasn't gotten out of the 2nd round of the playoffs as the number one option and that's only if you consider quite possibly the worst playoff teams off all-time a series win (I don't). No kudos from for winning a championship as the help otherwise, it's Bonner 2, Leonard 1.
And we got bounced in the second round, who cares.
Kawhi lead team the last two years have led to a 1st round exit both years(we got a bye this year)
IDK...I can see Kawhi winning two more rings in other uniform when he reaches his prime.
If the Spurs can't get younger, faster, taller in 2017, they should trade him and tank in 2018, it would be the best for both parties.

Having a player of his caliber, still young and improving every year?
A player who can do these things on the offensive end while he's also the best defender in the league?
Should care.

The Spurs were eliminated in first round and 2nd round before, even in Duncan Era.
Overreacting here about "Kawhi won't win a ring being the main guy" "Bonner>Kawhi" it's just stupid.
