Should Kawhi Leonard’s 2 finals Wins be in question now?

[Wacky D]

we gonna act like toronto didnt get bounced out the bubble a few days ago themselves??

we gonna act like san antonio didnt miss the playoffs altogether??

 

[Remote]

He was lucky in the sense that the 2014 finals wasn’t memorable for anything other than the Spurs running Lebron out of Miami nobody talks about that series outside of that

2014 Spurs was the most beautiful basketball ever played

 

[KidJSoul]

Yes.

This man literally has 3 seasons as a great player. 3. (2017, 2019, 2020).

People forget that he wasn't doing much in 2013, 2015, 2016, etc. He wasn't that good offensively AND he was choking in the playoffs too.

Give him credit for 2019 - but fukk it, we bash Steph Curry for winning an injured Cavs team, so bash Kawhi Leonard too then.

shyt, Kawhi is not even bad, he's very good, I've just never seen a player get more undeserving and unearned praise in recent memory.

LeBron put in WAY more work to finally get his due. Hell, KD and Steph Curry have trouble even being given their due as top 12-15 players, but all Kawhi had to do was win this year to be top 10 all time? fukk outta here.

Why couldn't he carry the Clippers like he did the Raptors?

Spurs built the team around that hoe, so when the centerpiece suddenly leaves the franchise instantly goes into a rebuilding phase

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Even though Kevin barely played
Even though Klay didn’t play
The Raptors made it to The Finals
The Raptors never made it to The Finals

Kawhi has a bad series after having a great series which he finished in spectacular TD Garden Tatum before the All Star game fashion

Posted the best individual numbers of his career. He’s not the athlete he was but he’ll be ok

Where a lot of the talk stems from is since we haven’t seen a player like him before nobody knows what to do with him. He went from one thing when he started with one set of expectations on him to something way different

Bron was expected to be Bron
Kevin was expected to be Kevin
Kawhi was expected to be Gerald Wilkins

 

[UserNameless]

He did his thing last season period.

What this choke job proved was that he's just not that nikka in the sense of being on Bron's level or even KDs. He a tier below them nikkas especially Bron. it doesn't take away from last season though

this .

 

[Torrential]

Heel turn on kawhi

 

[Versa]

Every great player has had bad moments. All of them. Ya'll are extra and reactionary and annoying.

We forgetting KD choking a 3-1 lead on his way out of OKC? Or his playoff failures?

Everybody knows last year would have been a different outcome
The first quarter of game 6
Proved that
A healthy, focused GSW
Android 16 wanted no parts of KD
Then Killa Klay had to get injured
i really believe GSW could have won game 7
Toronto benefited from the basketball gods and injuries..
Is what it is

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

Including the Finals where he gave LeBron the worst Finals loss in the history of basketball? No, I think his legacy is safe.

What about Jokic's legacy after you said he wouldn't last long enough to be a starter in the league? What about MAGA Porter Jr's legacy of being "the best player the moment he set foot on an NBA floor"?

 

[duckbutta]

Nope.

Spurs don't ring without him

Raptors don't ring without him

No doubt he choked in the clippers series but no doubt he came up big in two finals when he had to

Y'all only would've won if you had KD

You only had KD cuz he was a bytch

Ergo this whole point is moot
