Think kawhi gets a bit too much credit from recency bias. People act like his teammates were chopped liver when he had several all stars and very good role players to take the load off of him. He only had to put up like 15 points in his first finals mvp for “stopping” lebron (still avg 30 or so). His finals last year was nothing special. I remember Lowry, van sleet, siakam and ibaka all having all star performances that won them several games bron led his teams to wins in finals as an underdog and even put up superhuman performances in finals losses
Exactly swap the 2 players and bron would’ve gotten the spurs a few more championships and kawhis cavs would’ve gotten swept by the warriors every year without needing KD (assuming he made it to finals)
He dropped 50 on the warriors in the finals and averaged over 30 every series he faced them. Yeah he lost most of the time but y’all act like the other 4 guys don’t matter when making these comparisons.
28 points on 57% (68% tfp) shooting for the finals against kawhi ain’t exactly getting shut down for large parts.
There is a reason Lebron was begging Kawhi to join him on the Lakers. He wanted no piece of Kawhi. But Kawhi rejected Lebron and decided to join the Clippers, just so that he can shut Lebron down in the playoffs yet again lol. Respect Kawhi just for that move alone.
He was never gonna go to the lakers just did that to screw then over. Create your own super team as the #1 guy with best GM and richest owner? Y’all act like he was some revolutionary leader making tough sacrifices kawhis the biggest diva in the league
Kawhi would have gone to the Lakers if Lebron was not there. lol @ Lebron trying to recruit the Kawhi directly and also telling Davis to recruit him. That was sad. Respect to Kawhi for challenging Lebron instead of joining him. Now time to crush Lebron the substance abuser in the playoffs and remind him why he was trying to recruit him in the first place. Speaking of diva......
no he is not. Lou is really talented, but Middleton is having a 50/40/90 season on a great team as the second option. Lou is like option n4 on a worst team. Besides middleton plays D, and Lou is a liability.
Kawhi threatened to sit out a season to get a trade against the most successful organization of the last 20 years.. He won't play b2b. Left a team that may win 60 games without him. But Lebron's the diva? Inject that Lebron hate into your veins.
Didn't realize that after last night's games, the Rockets are really close in record to the 7th seed. Crazy that they can finish anywhere from 2nd to 7th seed when all is said and done. If they don't get it together, they may actually have a bad match up in the 1st round.
Lol how many times and teams has LeBron left after he felt that they could no longer help him? Kawhi never wanted to be at Raptors even though he was traded there. But, unlike what Iggy did, he played his hardest and won them a ring. Which is why Raptors fans still love him. Imagine accusing Kawhi for switching teams in an argument against LeBron, the guy who has abondebed teams on multiple occasions lulz. Lol @ Bron fans coming out of the woodwork. Can't wait till Kawhi frustrates the Roid Droid and sends him packing home in the playoffs.
