    Not KD, not LeBron: Kawhi Leonard is the best player on the planet

    https://theundefeated.com/features/...eiKn8wrwm_1FHg6T2Ga-iUR1ju6JkoK0cHpt6kM1condM

    "Leonard also is better than the iso genius James Harden, whose playoff fadeaways and indifference to playing defense bounce him from the best player conversation. Leonard probably made more consequential plays in these playoffs than Harden has in his whole career. We never got to see Leonard’s full offensive talent when he was with San Antonio because of the Spurs’ franchisewide allergy to individual glorification. Now with unconditional freedom, Leonard is killing dudes in isolation (like Harden), pounding and rocking the basketball (like Harden) before blowing past defenders or hitting step-back 3s (like Harden). Just ask Brook Lopez."

    The "consequential" play issue is interesting. So is "number inflation." This is to say that what a player does at critical points in a game is far more important than "totals." I see this point and agree.

    Toronto in 7 for a crazy celebration at home. Why not? . They are hungrier, more healthy and deserves it more then GS. This franchise has been in existent less then 30 years. They're about due....

    Why wouldn't Kerr pick Pop's brain? Popovich is a friend of his who happens to be one of the greatest coaches ever with familiarity with the superstar Kerr is about to play. It would be silly not to take advantage of that opportunity.

    Golden State appears to be on the wrong end of their "Strength in Numbers" catchphrase as they will be far from the fan favorite during this year's NBA Finals.

    According to a map created by Betonline, 47 states are pulling for the Toronto Raptors to upset the Warriors. The gambling website constructed the map by monitoring Twitter's geotagging data. They used the Raptor's #WeTheNorth hashtag in comparison to Golden State's #DubNation, as well as other indicating factors to determine which team each state is rooting for.

    Kawhi is Pippen, but everyone thinks he is Jordan.
