KD vs. KL

well at least KD played b2bs in RS.
Kawhi was resting at home uninjured half the season, and is now with the freshest legs. It's unfair to compare him against the other superstars who minus Embiid sweated their butts off day in and out to get their teams to the POs.

 

Spurs were blowing out warriors with a health KL so I got to go with him. He is just an efficient scorer as KD and he is a better defensive player. It crazy when be blocks a shot and palms the ball.

 

KD’s play took a clear and noticeable dip once the postseason started before he joined GS

Kawhi better until I see KD go to NY and do work without an incredibly stacked team

u can’t even double team KD with the team he’s on

 

LeBron, KD, Kawhi [drop off] PG, James Butler

I'll take the guy you don't want.

 

Kawhi because he is more versatile.

Durant is a scorer.

Kawhi can be a scorer and an elite defender.

Also, IMO Kawhi is very clutch. I always feel like he shoots better with more pressure.

 

100000000% agreed

 

You guys are discounting Durant's defense which is pretty good on its own. Kawhi is much better, though.

On offense, Durant has an edge due to his height and shooting but that gap is closer than their defensive differences.

I'd pick Kawhi.

 

Kawhi currently is the best player in the world. I have watched all of the Raptor's games. I have yet to see someone play such perfectly disciplined basketball. He's actually like a robot that's unstoppable at the moment on offense.

 

I gotta go with Kawhi atm....

The way he's playing is amazing just getting whatever he wants. Shooting at a ridiculous percentage that centres have never shot at.

 

KL is the guy to me

 

I thought he meant Kyle Lowry

 

Who gives a Damn?

 

I think the post up game is underated. Leonard turns most of his drives into low post plays where no one is strong enough to guard him down there. Once he gets into the low block he has a million moves and head fakes that you have to double or he just lay it up or shoot a turnaround

 

Spoiler

Aside the fact that Durant never played and made anything relevant without two/three stars on his team

Best two way player in the league, probably the best defender while also being a top 5/10 offensive player...yeah, i'd take Kawhi.

 

Kawhi. He's the best player in this year's playoffs.

 

head to head, i take KD because KD has the height, reach advantage. no post-ups but KD doesn't need it.

on a team, or franchise, i'd take KL, but similarity in their disloyal history makes that a moot point. they're all leaving yo ass.

 

KL is best player in league

 

I remember when Clutchfans didnt give Kawhi any respect and said he was nowhere near Harden's level...

 

and they were right
