It's not fair to compare a peak LeBron to a rookie/sophomore Kawhi... but clearly peak LBJ was better than Kawhi will ever be. Beyond that, who cares? I don't.

It's known that Kawhi was a late bloomer.
I love that about sports, though. Some guys come in raw, put in the work as role players for a few years, and then develop into stars. So fun to watch.

comparing him to Luka.
Luka is arguably better than Kawhi NOW.
So, yea.

2013 Kawhi was already spurs best player and a better player then 2020 Luka. Ignorant fans like yourself will get confused very easily by traditional stats. Luka can't guard a Christmas tree and he ballhogs way too much.
Kawhi was the goat defender that led spurs in every net rating lineup during playoffs and also led them in BPM/mins during the finals.

Absolutely false. Duncan was easily their best player. Kawhi helped choke that Game 6, he makes 2/2 FT and there's no chance the Heat come back.

it would probably be Green on Wade and Diaw on Bran... but I think Luka could definetely guard 2013 LeBrick "daring him to shoot" James. that strategy backfired on the spurs in game 7 and they just kept leaving him open :lol what was popovich thinking lol
2014 LeJumperOnPoint was 57% from the field and 52% from three :lol

Duncan choked and missed an easy layup late in game 7. Kawhi was best player by on/off and net lineups.

Parker/Manu like the ball in their hands, luka's overly ball dominant style would definitely make them worse. Old Duncan was also getting exposed on defense a lot in playoffs, they needed kawhi for that D anchor on wing and Luka doesn't give him that at all. Luka is on that Steve Nash level defense and that's despite being 6"8 tall, which is pretty sad. Luka will never be in the tier of Kawhi/Jordan/LeBron wings until he dramatically improves his defense and becomes less ball dominant.

LeBron's playoff win share 48 at 21 years old: .135

You’d have to be batshit insane to think Kawhi was close to either of them at age 21.

For a short period of time only because Kawhi was wearing him down. If Dias was by himself and without Kawhi, he wouldn't be able to stop LeBron. Dias was on those Nash suns teams hahaha he wasn't stopping anybody.

Spurs 2013 playoffs best 2 man lineups:
1) Kawhi/Manu
2) Kawhi/Duncan
3) Kawhi/Parker
It was anybody who played with Kawhi.
Best player on a game 7 finals team. Speaks for itself.
LeBron at 21: 31.4/7.0/6.6 on 56.8 TS% in regular season. 30.8/8.1/5.8 on 55.7 TS% in playoffs.
Luka at 21: 28.8/9.4/8.8 on 58.5 TS% in regular season. 31.0/9.8/8.7 on 59.6 TS% in playoffs.
Kawhi at 21: 11.9/6.0/1.6 on 59.2 TS% in regular season. 13.5/9.0/1.0 on 61.1 TS% in playoffs.

Kawhi was next to the most ball dominant backcourt in NBA history Parker/Manu, so he didn't get the touches to put up big traditional stats. The thing is nobody during spurs 2013 year was putting up superstar numbers. So you go with the player who had the most overall impact and the stats say it was Kawhi, game tape says it was Kawhi, pre drafting Kawhi in 2011 getting their ass whopped by the 8th seed Hahahha.
There's plenty of evidence that young Kawhi was the best and most important player, you just have to look harder and take off your LeBron drunk goggles.

You’re insane. Kawhi was a role player at 21. If he was capable of putting up the numbers LeBron and Luka did at the same age, Pop would have given him a bigger role.

Kawhi would of had a bigger scoring role if he was next to less proven scorers. Kawhi still had the biggest role because he was leading in minutes or GmSc when spurs eliminated Durant/Lebron

I really do think popovich duncan and the spurs organization had a huge impact on his development. He wasn't a lotto talent out of college. I dont think he'd be this super MVP guy if he was drafted to some shit organization.

If he was proving himself capable of taking on a bigger role on offense he would have been getting more shots. He really couldn’t create for himself that well in 2013, he was literally incapable of doing what 06 Bron or 20 Luka did.

Kobe was drafted out of high school to a team not known at all for its development program, but rather its ability to draw massive star power. Kobe with his talent and work ethic would've scratched and clawed his way to the top anywhere.

And yet by age 21 Kawhi had won 5 playoff series and played in a Finals game 7.
Luka the GOAT has 0 playoff series wins, lol.
