Kawhi is an improved version of MJ

[Vino24]

With his rebounding and passing coming around Kawhi is the total package

[ClipperRevival]

Kawhi is a much more stiff, slower, less explosive version of 1998 MJ with lesser footwork, post game and skills and he's still the best in the world today.

Ponder that for a sec babyboi. :dancin

[AlternativeAcc.]

So 2-9 level player instead of 1-9?

Ehh, not setting the bar too high there :oldlol:

[Smook A.]

No he's not. The skill and the moves are a bit similar but Jordan was much more athletic than Kawhi

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Kawhi is an improved version of Wizards Jordan. Agreed. Only slightly maybe, but it is what it is.

Kawhi is MJ-lite. Kobe-like with more efficiency but less longevity.

Does not compute for Brantards.

[ClipperRevival]

Just realized, i thought OP was mentioning 2nd 3 peat MJ. But OP just said MJ in general? Dude went full retard. :yaohappy:

Kwahi is a middle class Jordan. DeRozan is a homeless man's Jordan. Kobe was upper middle class.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Tonight I thought I was watching god until I read his jersey name and snapped out of it. What a performance wow, just shrugging off how bad George was and dominating.

[Smook A.]

Kwahi is a middle class Jordan. DeRozan is a homeless man's Jordan. Kobe was upper middle class.

I find it really dumb when people say Jordan would just be on DeRozan's level if he played in today's era, and the crazy part is that a lot of them are serious when they say it. So disrespectful to MJ

Kawhi's athleticism is underrated because his physical strength. I would take Kawhi's strength even ahead of LeBron. I would also take Kawhi's shooting over Jordan because his freethrows and 3 point shot. Kawhi also has the greatest shot selection for a wing superstar ever, the dude just never takes bad shots.

It's ridiculous. Then you mention that Westbrook won an MVP and averaged three straight triple doubles in today's era, and they have no comeback.

Westbrook is Jordan without the jump shot, BBIQ, defense, 42+ vertical, and ability to finish out important games.

[OrlandoMagicGuy]

So I guess Kawhi would win 6-8 championships on those Bulls teams.

[Marchesk]

Raptors - Clippers finals incoming.

Okay but put Demar in MJs place in the 90s with Pip, they winning 5 chips probably.

Swap Demar in for Pete Myers in 1994 and insta chip.

Facts or nah?

I think you're selling him short, DeRozan is winning a few titles with the Bulls in the 80's too imo

:lol Nah

But 91, 92, 94, 95, 97, 98, 99 are possible

I say he gets 5, so not bad at all

[Bronbron23]

Its hilarious how shook lebron stans are over kawhi. The fact that a worse version of jordan is doing what he's doing hurts them to their core:facepalm

[Phoenix]

Kawhi is arguably the greatest human being to have ever lived tbh

Pssshhh...greatest sentient being is the baseline.

[Nashty]

Michael Jordan is poor man's Danuel House.

[Shooter]

Obviously.

Kawhi is a modern Jordan if Jordan knew how to play defense and shoot. Plus he is much more efficient, not needing 28 shots to get 30 points.

[Shooter]

:lol Nah

But 91, 92, 94, 95, 97, 98, 99 are possible

Demar in Jordan's spot fighting in the weak 90s watered down era is probably winning 4 chips

without question Demar wins in MJ's place in: 1991, 1992, 1994, 1998
I am unsure about 1995, 1997 and 1999

Still though, 4 chips for Demar aint bad

[CTbasketball92]

Definitely not improved but—does anyone think '98 MJ was more athletic than Kawhi now? Idk they look very similar to me

[Vino24]

Yeah and MJ had a 50” vert, strangled a lion with his bare hands, had no help ect ect

I laughed not going to lie

Stick to your hbk account.

Facts or nah?

No they wouldn't :oldlol:

You think DeMar would be capable of dominating the playoffs every year like Jordan did, and average 30+ ppg in almost every series? No way. At best, DeMar would probably be a Drexler-esque player in the 90s. He'd maybe, just maybe have 1-2 finals appearences with Pip and maybe a championship (I'm being generous here) but 5? Get over yourself. DeMar has shown to struggle in the playoffs too, and he's not someone you can rely on in big situations.

Bulls would still be a very solid team if you replaced MJ with DeMar, because they still almost made the ECF without MJ in '94, but they wouldn't be anywhere close to a dynasty

Mods???

How the hell are you gonna fall for such obvious troll bait THIS badly? You're actually trying to argue why DeRozan wouldn't win 5 championships in Jordan's place :lol

Facts or nah?

They win 8 because DeMar do not have gambling addiction, will not get his father killed because of his gambling debt, and will not be suspended from the league for 2 years for betting on the games he played in.

[SATAN]

You guys make other people who have enjoyed watching LeBron's career look really bad. You know that, right?

[Round Mound]

Jordan was more explosive, could jump higher (on one or two legs), quicker footed, more agil and had more hang time than Kawhi. Strength and rebounding are similar. Jordan was also a better driver, slasher, finisher on the fast break and had a better mid range and post game. Kawhi is close but not quite to Jordan level of play. Jordan is a better athlete and had more skills

Kawhi is definetly a player that could play in the 80's and 90's and give you results. He is mix of Jordan and Pippen just not as good as Jordan all around wise and almost as goood as Pippen on D.

[dreamwarrior]

I don't care who's better, but I'd take Kawhi on my team over anyone alive or dead.

[Carbine]

He's definitely better than Pippen on defense. Kawhi or young Rodman are the best perimeter defenders ever.

[Smook A.]

With basketball, you can’t really tell if someone’s trolling or actually stupid :lol
