I remember there was a thread here a few years back on Kawhi Leonard's ceiling, and the most optimistic projections had him tabbed as a poor man's Scottie Pippen. Now we're mentioning him in the same sentence as Michael Jordan.![]()
Not one player has back to the basket fadeaway jumpshots that look as Jordanesque as Kawhi. Kobe is the only one who is/was close.

Kawhi is pretty damn good, that's for sure.
I don't think MJ is the right comparison for Kawhi, but that turnaround J is uncannily similar.
And we shouldn't be.
We have a fine player but let's stop overrating him like Kobe fans.
Kawhi really is nothing like MJ except for being an exceptional defender and good in the post for a swingman, but yep, that turnaround is total MJ.
To see him hit the game winner. Coming of age moment really.
ing brainfart by the D almost ruined it completely. Then again the clock didn't even start when Elfrid touched it so there would have been that too. I think he missed the layup because he was shocked at just how open he was.
Ya that almost ruined it.
Full court back door play. I think 2 spurs kind of blocked each other. Luckily KY got to seal his game defining moment
