Is Kawhi Leonard the ideal 1-round roof raiser?

Joined the Raptors, went ECF to Finals.
Joined the Clippers + PG + Morris + Jackson, went R1 to R2.

+Bred into Spurs' team that was making WCF's if not Finals without him.

Kawhi is a great player. He just got built up too much by haters tripping over themselves to knock LeBron off his perch.

Well after this series, I don't think Kawhi is the best player in the world anymore. He has been surprisingly ineffective at taking games over but especially the last two games. He was nowhere to be seen as the opponent was making runs. In two consecutive games in Game 6 and Game 7 that's inexcusable. You gotta have more fight than that. He was barely even trying to take the ball to the rim. Or he couldn't which is more likely. Of course, his team also shit themselves but he didn't play like the best in the world.

Is Lebron that guy still? Maybe. It depends on how he plays the rest of the way.

What do you guys think?

I had him as the best too, until he comes back next year and proves otherwise. I'm giving the crown back to KD.

He's still alive and not retired, it's called injury recovery.

kawhi has already proven that you can build a team around him thus kawhi > lebron. As a gm, you pick the guy who doesnt need superteams to win.
