wing with abnormally long arms and big hands :dame: 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.
no he's not lol

dude is phenomenal but him and jordans game is nothing alike

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
Kawhi ain’t no damn alpha breh. He was hiding in damn broom closets from Spurs brass and won’t even speak up for himself. He’s a great player though so it probably doesn’t even matter.

Not a crazy comparison.

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

Defensively I see the similarities

kawhi is a better 3pt shooter, but overall i can't say he is better shooter than jordan cuz jordan's fadeaway is pretty much unstoppable. jordan's mid range game is 2nd to none

kawhi finishes over 70% between 0-3 feet.....MJ being a better finisher is a stretch. He's more athletic tho

kawhi is a better finisher and i think a better defender much more versatile defensively....kawhi out here stuffing guards and post defending elite big men...MJ was never doing that.

Jordan at 27 was on another level athletically
It's some body language shyt but Kawhi ain't got 10% of the swag Jordan had at the same age. (this matters in terms of league "impact" imo)

I'm down for seeing how Kawhi handles the playoffs and potentially the Warriors after a year of people hyping him up so much :mjlit:
Ain't trying hear no excuses
