Yes. Manu didn’t Kawhit on his team tbh.
Many folks think Harden is the best player in the NBA right now. Manu is Harden plus clutchness, defense and healthy leadership.

We never saw what manu could do as THE man with starter minutes. We saw glimpses of it like the Phoenix game but we were robbed of seeing how great this guy was. Don’t underestimate him. Kawhi plays D and WAS good at it. Offensively and at playmaking and hitting clutch shots. No comparison. Manu, hands down.
thats a lie. no one thinks like that.
Lebrob-KD-Kawhi unanimously own that tle
ING GREGG.
Manu was crazy good at his peak. But he and Kawhi have much different games, and roles, so it's really hard to compare the two. If I'm building a team, and picking one of the two in their prime, I'm going with Manu primarily because I'd have no ing clue at any point what's going through Kawhi's mind at any point. Catering to him and his uncle would be exhausting. Manu was about team, Kawhi's about building his legacy.

This question does not make a lot of sense... today's league is very different than Manu peak era.
League is dominated by SFs Durant, Lebron, Kawhi... building around pg/sg like harden, westbrook don't work like in the late 90's early 00's you needed a dominant big. Now is Kawhi the best in today nba ? arguable.. a healthy GSW would have won against this toronto team.. Healthy Durant is as dominant as Kawhi tbh
Defensively you give the point to Kawhi
In terms of scoring it's for me a wash when you factor minutes, usage, efficiency, in terms of playmaking there is no real debate. Overall it is more complicated to defend peak manu than peak kawhi
It's close...closer tham most want to admit..
It's actually a close call. They have very different styles, so difficult to compare, but similar overall impact.
Yet that gave us more years of Manu... I'm grateful for what both gave the Spurs. We don't know if we have seen Kawhi at his best yet. So this is a premature comparison...
Manu is great but he is not better than Kawhi Leonard. Put Manu on the 2019 Raptors team, do you really think he can lead that team to the championship the way Kawhi did? Of course not, stop being silly
Retired washed up Manu s all over the warriettes. Peak ing Manu would all over a healthy warriettes team.
People that started watching basketball this summer.
Playing in the east. Le can't even make playoffs in west.
Articles that compare players from different eras, and at different positions are the stupidest of all. That makes for the worst threads of all.
I know Manu and Kawhi overlapped a little, but Manu's prime was long over, and we may or may not have seen Kawhi's prime yet. The way the game is played and called evolved between the two, and the two are sure as different positions/styles. You can't win an argument like that. , you can't even score any points in an argument like that. Waste of damn time, even in the buttcrack between SL and preseason.
That's because neither of them were better than Tim Duncan. Everybody played a support role, when Tim was still Tim. If Kawhi was playing on a team with a prime Tim Duncan, you wouldn't recognize him or his stat lines. That's just fact.
You can't compare their overall games. But I can say this without hesitation: if my team is down by one or two points, with eight seconds on the clock, there aren't many players in the history of the league that I would rather have holding the ball than prime Manu. He could get to the hole as well or better than anyone, ever, in that situation. And he drew so much attention that if they did manage to cut him off, his vision and passing skills would put the ball in the right place to get someone else an easy look. He did it at the end of quarters, and he did it at the end of games. That one skill was worth a lot of W's.
Manu played with a broken arm during the 2011 playoffs. Kawhi sprained his vajayjay and sat out a season.

People need to watch the Phoenix game and there was one game against Cleveland early in his career when he went bonkers. Those weren’t aberrations. In his prime he could do this at will it seemed. Kobe has mad love and respect for him. Says something about his compe iveness. He was also a selfless player. Great teammate and would never, ever quit on his team.
Mic drop
As a foundational player, Manu runs circles around Number 2. In building a team I would always choose the guy with superstar skill AND off-the-charts intangibles. Having a coach on the floor with a total team-first at ude, like Manu would be invaluable in building a team. Manu not only made guys around him better, he made them play harder. Plus killer instinct and clutch finishing ability in crunch time. Prime Manu is my guy!
lol
Toronto was stacked, GS was injured, and KL was good, not great. But Raps won so now he's the best player in the world? Funny how Kawhi went from being an underrated player to an overrated one.

KL hit last shot in playoffs but still want Manu out there more in clutch time.
for the Manu haters and other distracted people.. Manu peak > Kawhi peak every day
There's nothing wrong with your glasses.. it's just your brain...
