    Indeed he did. He'll never get over it if the Spurs lose game 7.

    You wanna know how good Kawhi Leonard really is? Look at LeBron's reaction...

    Yeah, it isn't like Anderson, who missed several in a row. Would still love to have the guy on the Rockets, but this will haunt him, for sure.

    I like the guy but most of his shots came to him last night. Spurs offense at its finest mixed in with a little good offensive rebound positioning.

    Hes just a great scrappy player. Rarely makes mistakes on the court and does the little things to help the team win.

    LOLwut? If you looked at drive/personality/skillset and translatable potential I'm pretty sure MM looked just as good KL, in fact for all we know the Spurs could have picked him first over KL if they had the 14th pick. Rather than their drafting skills, I credit the Spurs' developmental office more for Leonard and Danny Green's success. If they got a hold of MM instead of the Rox I have no doubt in my mind he would be so much better by now.

    Morey and co. have gone on record numerous times they don't just go blindly over statistics, it is just one of the tools they use in evaluating players. Someone like Parsons, for example, had mediocre stats in college but has outperformed a lot of statistical monsters in his draft class.

    Wow, that's hilarious. Damn, I hope Spurs win Game 7 and Leonard wins MVP. Lebron won't admit to how good he defended him until this series is over.

    His game is so sound. He's only 21 and his upside is sky high. I'm starting to think he's better than Paul George now...

    Leonard > Parsons.

    Leonard was literally everywhere tonight. He'a a gamechanger if there is one.

    Cant believe the Pacers gave this guy up for GEORGE HILL...

    Paul George and Leonard would have been great for years to come.

    Leonard is younger, and a lot better. He's one of my favorite players at the moment as well. Parsons will never be an all star...Leonard will be.
