Prime for prime is unfair to compare any player to LeBron as we all know his primes are unmatched across multiple years: 2009, 2012, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018 all have records. He is the ELITE 23. But what about if we compared a Season 7 Kawhi to Season 17 LeBron, would that make it more fair?
Kawhi Season 7: 27-7-5 (47/37/89)
LeBron Season 17: 26-11-7 (50/35/70)
Advantage: LeBron. He is only scoring 1 less point per game while leading the entire league in assists, and grabbing 2 more rebounds per game.
Kawhi: 116 ORtg, 104 DRtg , VORP: 4.6, BPM 9.0, PER 26.7, WS 7.6, TS 58%
LeBron: 117 ORtg, 105 DRtg, VORP: 5.7, BPM 8.7, PER 26.0, WS 9.5, TS 58%
Advantage: LeBron. He hasn't taken rest like Kawhi. Kawhi has missed 13 games. LeBron has missed 3. Season 17. 3 games missed. Season 7, 13 games missed. NO contest.
This is actually sad when you break it down. A 7th season, resting load managing Kawhi is still doing slightly less than a Season 17 no load management LeBron. Maybe next year tiger. LeBron still has one more year left in him
