I'm guessing it makes a good social experiment on how much immediate gratification people desire, it's a knee jerk check.
It's gonna be so weird acknowledging Kawhi as a FMVP while guys like a KD, Melo, PG, Harden, and CP3 are all ringless.
Basketball is a team sport so I never understood the desire to measure individual players via team accomplishments. I mean, Robert Horry has 7 rings which is 1 more than Michael Jordan.
Last time I checked, Spurs were putting Leonard on Lebron alone. Yes the system wins the game/series for the Spurs but Leonard did a great job guarding Lebron. As well as anyone could given he's Lebron.
Like one poster said earlier, how would parsons do in the spurs system? Let's swap the two out, KL on the rockets, I think the fate of these teams are still the same.
doubtful. Parsons could not defend LeBron anywhere near the level Kawhi did (even though LeBron got his, most of it was when the games were out of reach).
That's false. Lebron was doing work when nobody else could score. Dude avg 28 and shot 57% from the field. I like leonard a lot,but get real. Spurs to their credit just the paint and spoes is too dumb to counter.
All those silly comparisons. Dude was a second rounder. Just be happy a second rounder turned out to be a good player. It is not rocket science. The probability is rather low Leonard is one of 1000 first round midrounder that turned out better than expected.
Let's see Parsons or George winning a finals mvp before we say he's better than Leonard, mmkay? George would probably shoot like there's no tomorrow and choke against LeBron like he always does. And then there's Parsons who doesn't show up in the playoffs. Take your homer glasses off.
