Kawhi is the closes to what MJ would be in the modern NBA

[EBK String]

wing with abnormally long arms and big hands that is a top 5 player on both ends of the court and who can takeover the game on either side of the game.

Only thing is MJ was on another level offensively and athletically. And Kawhi is the best player in the league currently IMO. MJ is the goat.

You think Kawhi the best player?i have him and Steph competing for that 3rd spot behind Bron and KD. I do agree with the similarities between the two

Steph might be the best player offensively but he isnt even top 100 on defense. Bron has slipped defensively. KD is better offensively but Kawhi is better defensively plus he is an alpha and not a bytch like kd

Leonard the best player in the leauge.
Out there making that shyt look so easy he looks bored and shyt.
Should give his ass pockets on his shorts to put his phone in to play around with when he dont have the ball.

I understand most of your points but Kawhi a alpha?maybe cause he’s so quiet idk but he doesn’t strike me as the leader type. For some reason I still think Kyle Lowry is the voice out of the 2

 

[OG Talk]

Not a crazy comparison.

Leonard is a better shooter, Mike was more athletic and a better finisher..

Defensively I see the similarities

I got Kawhi at #2 right now....he took over the game last night on both ends of the floor,his defense really took over in the 4th quarter...

In the 4th quarter he got defensive stops on there entire big 3 at different points,he stole the ball repeatedly from Simmons,he forced Embiid to pass off screen roll and he blocked Jimmy late in the game after forcing him into the corner....

KL a beast....

Kawhi is amazing. I don't see any similarities stylistically to MJ though. Kawhi is super efficient but MJ probably has prettiest looking game ever. And seems more explosive so hard to see similarities.

On the court Kawhi is an alpha....

alpha is a mentally of knowing you're the best player on the team and court and acting like it. You dont have to be a vocal leader for people to follow you. Who would you rather be in the trenches with Kawhi who you know is a straight killer or KD who might make a burner account and talk shyt behind your back if you're too rough with him?

MJ has a better vertical leap but Kawhi had 2 coast to coast dunks where he exploded from the 3 point line to the goal and finished with force....

Actually Danny green said he’s never seen kawhi this vocal in the locker room

True, but to answer your question, I’m not sure who I would rather on the court in the significant moments, I mean

Durant doesn’t shy from the moment.

I noticed Kawhi was on one a few weeks ago. I got raptors in the finals

 

[MikelArteta]

Trade kawhi for George hill and then demar derozan brehs
