    Note: I am only comparing their temperament and leadership qualities and not their individual basketball skills and talent! For the latter, we all know that Leonard is better without question.

    Draymond Green and Kawhi Leonard are almost polar opposites in terms of leadership and temperament.

    Green is the emotional engine and fire on the Warriors. Sometimes he gets carried away but he always play with great passion and emotion. And he isn't afraid to call out anybody on his team. Fans of other teams hate him but grudgingly admit they'd love to have someone with his passion and emotion on their team.

    Leonard is just the opposite. He definitely has great work ethic and definitely cares about winning. But he leads more by example than by emotion or calling people out. He is probably the most stoic superstar I have ever seen. People often noted Tim Duncan's stoicism but Leonard seems to take it to another level.

    So of the two, which temperament and leadership do you prefer in your star player?

    Leading by example really just means "I take care of my own **** you do yours".

    Also I beg to differ on the talent and skills between Green and Kawhi. Green has an even wider skillset than Kawhi because he is a playmaker aoart from 3 pt shooter, oth Kawhi is just strictly a scoree and defender which is why Spurs run a ton of isos now compared to before when they were a lot more team oriented. Just on health alone Green takes the cake, Kawhi got rest this season and controlled PT but he still ended up injured. Green has been banging with the NBa's biggest since the year began and is still standing strong.

    Kawai's.

    Draymond Green's temperament cost the Warriors a championship last year.

    I meant this question in terms of fan preference on the Rockets. I've changed the title to make it more GARM relevant.

    I like my leaders to have some fire... so I went Green - even if he is a dick...

    I wish Harden were more like Bev in terms of temperament...

    "I would take Draymond. Kawhi would probably back down to James. I want someone to slap the hell out of James every now & then, someone who won't back down from him, who won't take any **** from him. Give me Draymond every day." /CF

    i like both but Kawhi 'speak softly and carry a big stick' Leonard is more appealing ...

    is this a trick question? kawhi 10/10x. draymond isnt a 1st or 2nd option, kawhi is. passing and **** talking only thing draymond has on him. we got hardena nd mda for playmaking, and kawhi working on his own passing game. let the warriors keep the kinesiologist, while spurs trade kawhi for ryan and lou with the rights to sergio.

    Its not a question about which player you prefer. Kawhi is obvious. Its about whether you want someone with emotion and fire, even if maybe sometimes they get carried away vs a stoic, poker faced type like Leonard. I just used these names as examples but feel free to substitute.

    I want to elicit as much hatred as possible. Bev and Draymond would be HATED.
