Is Kawhi Leonard better than LeBron James?

[jimbo]

You insensitive s should really watch this. It tells me more about y'alls real personality that you'd really call people gots.

[jimbo]

Maybe it's time for an update.

It reminds me of good times :

[YGWHI]

The internet is my only save haven.

Another true thing about you.

Of course internet is the only place you can pretend to have a life.

It's funny, more you post, more we know about YOU, not the troll.

[313]

Or , maybe he could. Do autistic people even feel pressure?

why isn't this guy bolded

You got me. I too put a picture of my hand on my shirt and wear it around.



Here's one I made last week. Momma loved her little helper

[jimbo]

and I know what you're up to mister, but I blocked out my name on my shirt. There's no way that are you going to know my name. Not this time!

The way Kawhi choked that free throw in 2013 he must not be that autistic

Yeah it's too bad. He could have been an unstoppable juggernaut. Can you imagine if he was a full blown autist? League would be ed...



Those red autistic eyes would be ing SCARY

[jimbo]

on the real, don't you gots have jobs? how are you able to post at 3 am every day?

I gotta wake up for work in 4 hours. I'll play with y'all later tomorrow

2009? Nah

But it's not curious that you choose that pic and talk about your mom.

Among all of pics on internet, you choose one with a "momma" and hands.

Not really. There is a reason why you will vote for Trump.

[spurraider21]

always easy to tell who is melting down by looking at who has the most posts in the thread

[kuato]

Kawhi is better for the spurs game style, yes.

Elite poster doin elite poster stuff, per par

2009. That was a smokescreen designed to throw internet bullies off. Looks like it worked.

Because I have a job?

No he isn't. Still love him on my team though.

If you're talking about who you'd rather have going forward, it's clearly Kawhi considering their age gap. But in terms of who's the better player now, it's fairly comfortably LeBron still. As others have alluded to, Kawhi just hasn't shown the consistency of LeBron. If I have to pick between having LeBron or Kawhi for one playoff run right now, I'm going with LeBron.

Regardless, the fact that this is even remotely a debate is pretty incredible and shows how lucky we've gotten with Kawhi.

Kawhi is definitely up there LeBron when it comes to isolation/posting up...and he's a much better spot-up shooter.

However, it's LeBron's ability to run an offense, break down the defense, get to the rim, and create for others that separates him from Kawhi. While Kawhi shows glimpses of being able to do those things, he doesn't do them nearly as consistently as LeBron. And while being an elite post-up/isolation player is great, I don't think those things are as valuable as penetration, forcing rotations, and then having GOAT-tier court vision and the ability to create for others. LeBron typically commands much more attention than Kawhi does, and that opens up things for others even more. That's not to say Kawhi never gets double teamed or that teams never have to change their defense to try stopping him...but those things certainly don't happen to the extent you see with LeBron.

As much as I can't stand him, I'd still rank Durant higher too. Being able to make plays for others and get to the line at a high rate are critical skills.

Just an FYI: In round one, Kawhi had a PER of 35.5 and .44 wins shares per 48 minutes. That's insane. Good luck Durantula.

I saw this numbers after game 3. Sick tbh.

There is something very clear in your choice of "Momma" and "hands", your Oedipus complex.

Because I have a job?

No, because you HATE your job. You think your potential is severely underestimated by society, you deserve a better job, right?

Also, you hate autistic kids because you say they get special treatments, that's your sick way to say you hate the minorities. You falsely claim that minority groups receive special treatment and benefits trying to rise people to hate them...

It's pretty obvious that you're a Trump guy.

[BillMc]

I've gotta say this thread has taken some unexpected directions rather than simply comparing the basketball skills of Kawhi Leonard and LeBron James.

Lmao, and you say I'm the one melting down.

I've managed to make you say I hate minorities and claim I have an Oedipus complex.

Managed? You're that guy, you can't hide your true feelings from yourself.

Remember little troll what you say about autistic kids and their families next time when you get harm back. Just let Karma go to work.

[NameLess Scrub]

Uff this is escalating quickly.

Anyway, No. Lebron is a better individual player than Kawhi. I'm not even sure the question is legit.

It is very possible he will be when both careers are over.
Lebron is a playmaker and can carry his team consistently, even if he needs the usual star treatment from the refs.
Even if he's kind of a bad shooter.

Kawhi still needs some protection from the Spurs system and can't take over games consistently. He can't impose his will like Lebron can.

I don't like Lebron though.

So in any case, I'd take Kawhi. But this thread is not about that.
It's about who the better player is and is still Lebron.
