    Next time you want to pin everything on Kawhi for the team's shortcomings, let me know when you find guys 25 or under who aren't regarded as the best of their respective generations (Jordan/LeBron aka FREAK athletes) who can do better than Kawhi has so far this season as a two-way wing-player.: http://bkref.com/tiny/l69Yf

    The only other player that can do what Kawhi does is Durant who is a 7ft tall alien & maybe Giannis (another 7ft tall alien) in the future if he learns how to shoot. (Kawhi was a better scorer than PEAK Pippen aka rich man's Iggy last season)

    Kawhi is essentially no more athletic than Carmelo & he is now just as good a scorer as the guy that was once regarded as the best pure scorer in the league: http://bkref.com/tiny/bXQZm

    If Kawhi had Paul George's athleticism & height, he would be the best 2-way player since PEAK LeBron.

    Kawhi is a great player. He is basically asked to cover every single ing problem with the Spurs. And fans about it all the time.

    Lowest 2P% on the list, by a pretty good margin. He makes an amazing number of off-balance, fade-away jumpers, but he's forced to take way too many of them. Whether that's his fault, or Pop's, or the rest of his teammates', it's a limiting factor for his game.

    You lose a lot of momentum when you start talking about "if" he was taller and stronger. He is who he is.

    Respect.

    Easily the least appreciated superstar among his own fambase. When He does win a ring here, I hope he leaves.

    These fans dont deserve Kawhi.

    Imagine Jordan getting clamped up by the likes of Matt Barnes, Roberson, and Mbah a Mohte

    Dejounte Murray has more offensive potential. When he takes over the PG position he can move Kawhi to more comfortable offensive role.

    21 yr old Kawhi who was a 70% shooter splitting FTs in Gm 6 cost the Spurs the series:



    Kawhi shot 47% against the Clippers & OKC:



    I can only imagine how Jordan would fare if he was being guarded by a long armed defender like Kawhi instead of a scrub like John Starks. Too bad I can't find a good comparison:

    It’s time for the Kawhi Leonard-Bruce Bowen comparisons to stop. In his NBA career, Bowen took almost 44% of his field goals from three and had a mere 5.5 field goals attempted per game. Those numbers don’t scream offensive talent by any means, compared to Kawhi who has a career 30% of his field goals from three and 10 field goals attempted per game. Popovich would never have talked about Bowen being the face of the Spurs’ franchise. On the defensive end, Bowen knew how to get in your head (or on it). Kawhi just makes the opposing ball handler sad. So who matches Kawhi’s game better? The answer: Reggie Lewis.

    Other than Durant, none of the guys on the list were/are as prolific a 3 point shooter as Kawhi.

    You lose a lot of momentum when you start talking about "if" he was taller and stronger. He is who he is.
    My point is that he's maxing out his talent unlike guys like Carmelo who play one side of the court. It's impossible to dominate like PEAK Jordan without freaky athleticism b/c he was also the most fundamentally sound player. Folks can argue Bird was as good as Lebron b/c Bird's fundamentals trump LeBron's which would make up for the lack of athleticism.

    You mean like how Pippen ran the offense while Jordan moved to a "more comfortable offensive role".

    , it worked out so hopefully ours does as well with Murray and Kawhi in the future.

    TP is underappreciated for sure, but again my statement was about the least underapprecaited superstar of all time. TP was never a superstar.

    There is still a lot of room for Kawhi to improve:

    court vision, decision making

    when to pass, how to involve his teammates more

    how to make his teammates better, like Duncan and Manu

    -----------------------------

    agree!

    our true superstars were Robinson, then Duncan, then Manu

    but that's just my opinion (correct me if im wrong)
