Time To Give Kawhi His Flowers

[FS4LFE]

Y’all giving him flowers for playing like he hasn’t missed significant time since leaving the Spurs. He’s missed a ton of games since joining the Clippers. He should be playing more and looking fresh. Weird thread

OP brining up Bron makes no sense. Bron was drafted 8 years before Kawhi and has played way more minutes and games. So of course his longevity gets mentioned more. A lot of y’all are disingenuous idiots.

If anything you should be giving Harden his flowers since he’s been an Ironman for the most part and held the team together while Kawhi was missing time. Not to mention he’s playing way better than PG.

**disclaimer, anything longer than 5-years isn't your "peak", it's just part of your prime. Peak is the level you held your absolute best play for anywhere 1-5 years...

Lol @ the "Kawhi can never be compared to LeBron, but he sure can be compared to Steph" shyt

Nah I just can't see how Kawhi's 3 year peak is better than Steph. Steph's overall impact was just way too fukking large and game changing in his prime .

And if you knock steph for his 2016 finals and put an asterisk on 2015, then you gotta knock Kahwi for losing in 2016 to the thunder and having an asterisk in 2019 (4 year peak) when KD went down...

And speaking of kd, kd was killing him one on one in 2019 and in 2016 (i think but I don't remember). It's debatable. And Kawhi's only ring as a number 1 option had 2 massive injuries so I can't say he's even a better pure #1 than KD

Waiting for 2 tweets from Shams

1.) Kawhi experiencing some soreness after game 2
2.) Kawhi is out for the playoffs

I still think he has the best pace with the ball since MJ.

All roads lead to LeBron James

 

[LeVraiPapi]

Bron in his 20th year putting up more minutes and being more impactful than Kawhi and y’all wanna compare them ?

If KD did what Kawhi did he’d be unstoppable now. If Giannis did that, he’d be unstoppable too.

Kawhi took too much time off to be considered for anything at all.

It isn't...

His 4 or 5-year peak is arguable to Steph or Durant...

In this conversation, Steph's '16 Finals isn't a negative when, as you pointed out, Kawhi's '19 win came with the other team missing two of its three best players...

Durant did outplay Kawhi in '16, and Durant's impact in his lone quarter of the '19 Finals is a draw to Kawhi's three quarters of the '17 WCF...

He was brought up in the original post.

 

[DraymondT]

7 turnovers
22pts on 15 shots
Clamped by Jamal Murray in the 4th and OT

Harden showed up all game and clutch. Kawhi disappeared. This nikka healthy. No more excuses this nikka always escape wit or MJ comps after 2 weeks of February games after a 2 month sabbatical. Better step up nikka.

I've always felt this dude was overrated.

@murksiderock Get your ass in Here.

 

[KidJSoul]

Dude has tunnel vision, and can't run an offense like a real all-time player.

He's living off Bron hate
