Nice video, glad he pointed out how thunder game planned to directly avoid Kawhi's defense. Teams did that a lot in 2017 as well. Kawhi has the GOAT hands and length of a center.

That was pretty funny haha. lebron’s best read in the video was vs Simmons. He ran to the guy before Simmons started his pass like he was mindreading him :lol

LeBron - 2nd
Kawhi - 19th

Kawhi isn't even the best defender on his own team and the Lakers have a better defense than the Clippers

Lebron has really bounced back defensively after that shit show last season.

Can you explain what happened to Kawhi in the 16 playoffs? Why did he get outplayed by Andre Roberson in a closeout game 6?

Real plus minus? That shit was proven faulty 5 years ago when it had paul pierce ahead of kawhi and james jones ahead of lebron.

Kawhi didn't led his team in minutes or FGA for the series and Duncan was 200 years old.

Yeah that's an atrocious stat, i would ignore it.

[tpols]

you'll see the difference in the playoffs when halfcourt play is more prevalent.

LeBron in his old age still better than peak Kawhi

I don't know how you came to that conclusion. OP's video is an unbiased nerd and he even says Kawhi. The metrics say Kawhi as well.

why would an unbiased nerd favor lebron?

My point is he's not favoring anybody, he's just spitting facts. ( IE: Kawhi is better).

alright my bad. thought you were saying the content creator had some reason to favor bron but at the same time is unbiased so I was confused

He said he would rather have Kawhi in the video and he has no bias/agenda. So that's why I was wondering how airbonner watched the video and came to the conclusion that LeBron is better.

No it never, you're thinking of something else
