Is Kawhi Leonard right now better than peak LeBron ever was?

Is he?

Current Kawhi and current LeBron is debatable. Peak LeBron isn't even comparable.

I would have agreed with this before the last game versus Denver. Kawhi looked better in Game 1 versus the Nuggets than I had ever seen him before. People been trying to compare him to Jordan and Kobe the last year or so. But in Game 1 versus Denver he looked like he was Kobe out there on the court. Obviously not as fluid but way more fluid than ever before.

If Kawhi keeps playing that way and wins another ring I might have to entertain him versus Prime LeBron as a legit debate.

Breh that same Toronto team finished with the second best record in the east. Won they 1st round series convincingly. The Cavs couldn't even get to .500 after Lebron left

That's because of Bron ball and LeBron's limited style of play.

Kawhi has a game that doesn't require one dimensional spot up shooters to make up the entire roster to cover his flaws as a outside shooter and one on one scorer. LeBron does. That is why his teams are always stacked with one dimensional floor spacers that once he's gone turn into complete trash.

More skilled than prime Lebron. And a more balanced scorer. But prime bron was a special type of mix between super athleticism, passing, and finishing ability

Peak Bron was one of the GOAT players to touch the court

Not better than peak Lebron, but he's better than current Bron. The most complete player in the game, he has no weaknesses. Even improved as a playmaker the last two seasons, which was his only noticeable recent "flaw".

His offensive evolution over the course of his career has been very impressive.
