The Kawhi hate never stops. I'd take him over Westbrook
Basketball experts...is Kawhi Leonard a top 5 player in the NBA?
- Thread starter Remote
- Start date
Folds?
21.6 points shooting .491, 6.8 boards, 2 steals a game in the last 2 years in the playoffs.
He averaged 16 shots a game in those 2 postseasons vs 14 shots a game in the last 2 regular seasons
So how is he folding? His playoff numbers basically match his regular season numbers...which is true for almost every player in history...particularly as sample sizes increase.
I guess you could be upset that he doesn't chuck 25 shots a game, but is that really the measure of greatness?

How is PG over Kawhi when they went head to head and Kawhi shut PG down so bad he claimed he was sick during the game 
He didn't say anything about being sick in the game before...or the game after...he was just sick in that 1 game where Kawhi held him to what...one made field goal...
If you factor in age Kawhi might be...shyt probably is...the best player in the NBA right now...
Every single person you could possibly put over him is in their prime right now or past it...27 or older...Kawhi is still two years away from that...
Coli needs to just do away with all of these who is the best and who is top whatever threads...just make the thread "who shoots the most" or "who scores the most"...
When it comes to listing top players in the nba the average coli poster just goes to nba.com>>>>scoring column>>> sort>>>copy and paste

@ anyone putting harden over Leonard. I'll take him over Westbrook any day also.To me you've got Bron KD Curry Russy to me as definitely being better then Kawhi. After those 4 I guess you can debate between him being the 5th player on that list though I would go with Chris Paul personally. But him AD PG-13 etc. are all arguable against one another and someone can make an argument for any of them and others (cant forget about the Beard) to be in the top 5.

HELL no. and he not even better than PG if we are being honest. pg a more dynamic scorer, better passer, better athlete, better playoff performer...Kawhi is a better defender and is more efficient though. Kawhi is really selective with his shots though

He has to REALLY earn it after I felt he didn't raise his game against OKC this post season. He had a top 5 player season last year imo. I'll call him a top 10 player and leave it at that
LMA outplayed him against Okc

Paul George is also better at not winning an NBA finals mvp, not winning 2 DPOY awards, and not being able to beat Lebron James when it matters the most...
Paul George is a better playoff performer
...He's playing eastern conference playoff teams...The Paul George overrating on this board is reaching it's zenith...dude has never won ANYTHING of substance but people think he better than a guy with a ring, a finals mvp, and 2 DPOY...
PG is a more dynamic scorer...while being significantly worse at shooting 3's...

PG>>>Kawhi
PG actually carries more of the load for his team than Kawhi. Came back better than ever after that horrific injury he suffered.
PG doesn't play in a system that has been successful for an organization for over 15 years.
The same system that had Danny Green hitting from all cylinders and the same system that had Patty Mills and Boris diaw beasting on the court.
PG was going head to head with LeBron James in back to back eastern conference finals. He didn't have a system.
Took a trash team this past playoffs to a game 7 against a soon to be eastern conference finals team.
PG is that nikka. I think he's gonna take his game to the next level this season.
