Kawhi Leonard, Gordon Hayward, and Bradley Beal have made the craziest improvements I've seen off the bounce in a 2-3 year span :wow:

31.2/6/3.8 & 2 steals per game on 55/48/97% shooting

:whoo::whoo::whoo:

Spurs implanted some kind of chip in this nikka. His progression as a player from defensive specialist to top 5 player in the league with no significant flaws is inexplicable. I know this dude works his ass off, but Jesus.
Honestly, he spent the offseason working with Kobe on his offensive game. Add to that equation that he doesn't force the shots that Kobe use to and you really can't be surprised. At times he'll do something during the game and I'll be like, "Kobe"

What's perplexing to me is how he sometimes leans forward awkwardly and not have good arc on some of his shots but he makes them consistently regardless. I guess his focus, balance, after-the-jump adjustments are just on another level but it is just strange to me how good he is with those weird pull ups. That's just so against how jumpshots are taught - you're supposed to go straight up. Anyway Kawhi is 1b status to me right now. It's a real slim separation between him and Lebron.

Yup it's cuz despite that awkward lean his shoulders are ALWAYS squared up perfectly for the shot so should he miss it's only due to putting a little too much mustard on the release. Mechanically it's always on point.

Dude is incredible.
