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

[Standing on business]

If you don’t think bron is goat tier status after the 2016 finals then you never will

Nobody can answer this effectively because on Remedial Coli, "skilled" simply means scoring, nothing else, just actions that contribute to scoring. This board's consistent downplaying of LeBron, easily one of the GOAT All-Time scorers, factor into this "Kawhi more skilled" thing too...



Unbelievable, he getting all kinda clearance right now, like the below quotes:



Lmfao...

If the truth makes you laugh *thumbs up*

If the truth makes you laugh *thumbs up*

He has no weaknesses but struggles with making good decisions when double teamed...

Has no weaknesses but isn't an elite slasher...

Has no weaknesses but is slow-footed and faster guys blow by him with regularity...

Has no weaknesses but seasoned scorers get their shot on him with regularity...

Has no weaknesses but can't create for others, he either scores the ball or does nothing else offensively...

Has no weaknesses but has an assist/turnover ratio barely over 1:1 for his career because he's an average passer, at best, for an NBA-level basketball player...

Has no weaknesses but can be taken out of a game if his jumper isn't working...

I can keep going, do you guys watch ball or just skim thru it? The idea he has no weaknesses is so ludicrous its unbelievable yall keep parroting the shyt...

Man kawhi earlier went for a rebound..miased it and started Complaining for a foul...problem is...he just lost the ball

I still don't see why people think Heat Bron was better than 08-10 Bron. He picked his spots a bit too often in Miami.

LeBron from 2012-2014 was way better in the post, better midrange shooter, outside shooter, way better understanding of the game.

The only thing lebron from his final 3 years in Cleveland was better is at transition offense/fast break points he was still a monster in those years in Miami when it regards to that

Gotdamn this is some bad posting...



Don't do that...

The equivalent age version of this Kawhi would be Year 9 ('12 LeBron) or age 29 (Year 10 LeBron). This Kawhi ain’t fukking with that version of LeBron, you gotta do some severe mental gymnastics to plug your boy...

And that '09 ECF was an All-Time performance by LeBron in Year 6, one of several greater than any one series we've ever seen from Kawhi. For the record, Year 6 Kawhi was '17, and he not winning that series with that Cleveland team and most likely isn't even sniffing the ECF with them...

This rewriting like Kawhi could win with just any and every thing no matter what you put around him is so easy to disprove, I have no clue why yall nikkas keep trying it lol...



If Kawhi wins it all this year it still doesn't put him with Peak LeBron, but if you're going that far, you gonna have to entertain Peak Kawhi as better than a whole lot more guys than just LeBron...

Needed Wade to teach him how to be a winner

All I know is Kawhi whooped on KDs Dubs twice in Arco and Bron never won a game there whether regular season or playoffs.

I don’t subscribe to that if “Bron Can’t No One Can” bullshyt

 

[Mandizi]

I been watching ball longer than '99, that's for sure.

I don't either. There's nothing to support Kawhi can be put in any situation and make a team a championship contender...

Yall dudes act like '99 was yesterday lol, I bern watching longer than at least half the consistent posters on here...

Regardless, that has nothing to do with you making a blatantly and patently false statement that is easily see-thru...

The last few years Bron was on the Cavs he was ridiculous but people say his Heat years was the peak because he won titles. It all came together on the Heat

I knew Kawhi was gonna have a bad game after this thread

He had a bad game because he has no answer for the double team

.he did a pass that looked like something you see at the park by someone who thinks he has moves...

Drove....jump half hearted...pass to the guy in front of him who wasnt expecring the pass cuz the mofoka jumped...


Just pass dude..dont wait.

Right. The magic of Kawhi is his strength, ball handling and shot selection which I think may be some of the best. Most of his shots are from below the ft line which is a very easy area to make a living at. And his long arms and fading away makes it hard to block.

But he isn’t overly skilled. He doesn’t have elite glass skills like a Dwade. Doesn’t have Lebron’s off hand finishing ability. Doesn’t have great post moves outside of the fade-away. His three ball is a line drive but he makes it enough to where you can’t really say anything about it.
