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

[MJ Truth]

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.

So you're changing your mind based off of ONE game??

Remember that movie Solo with Mario van Peebles?

Kawhi Leonard!!

Kawhi has really become overrated my God

The man doesn't even take over games that much

Did you see his play off run last year while hurt?

and what he is doing this year in the playoffs?

And on defense he is a monster

IF IM BUILDING A TEAM AND IT ISNT A SUPERTEAM STACKED WIT ALPHA SCORERS, I'M TAKING KAWHI EVERY TIME.

U fell asleep throughout that 2019 playoffs run?

He's averaging 32ppg on 56% in these playoffs right now

 

[JYoung24]

Yes he is

 

[Flex Luger]

not saying Kawhi is better, but Bron isn't winning a title with last years raptors.

So a prime Bron and last years Raptors wouldn’t beat a injury riddled Warriors in the Finals?

You cant just insert any version of Lebron on any team and act like they winning anything. Lebron woulda turned that same squad into spot up shooters, that's not guaranteed success.

With Kawhi, that Raptors team was allowed to play like a more traditional basketball team with Kahwi clearly just being the best player on the team. Lowry was still able to be the pg, siakam was allowed to cook on the iso, Gasol got to play like a big man and they did all that while being able to incorporate the 3 ball from each position. Kawhi is a plug and play type player, Lebron isn't quite as much.

 

[LurkMoar]

Prime bron was literally the perfect basketball player. Created character

 

[Young Fab]

Kawhi’s slow start to his career and lack of offensive production early on puts a dent on his all time legacy. There is no player you can legitimately argue over Lebron in the past decade.

Fixed

The Lebron slander on this forum is ridiculous
