No one holds Kawhi to the same standard as true all time greats so despite him pulling off probably the GOAT chokejob, he's not facing that much scrutiny because the expectations weren't that high in the first place

GOAT chokejob in the 2nd round with no fans, that's funny.

GOAT chokejob in the 2nd round with no fans, that's funny.
Game 5, blew a 19 point lead

Game 6, blew a 16 point lead

Game 7, blew a 12 point lead, shot 1-11 in the second half and went scoreless in the 4th quarter

Name a worse chokejob than that, I'll wait

It doesn't matter if they were no fans it's still a massive chokejob

[knicksman]

theres a reason why lebron is insecure coz he still hasnt proven anything. Superteam rings just dont cut it.

[Gudo]

It is up to the person to make his own commitments. If kawhi wants to be mentioned in the discusstion of the other alltime greats then he should be held accountable for all that happens in his career. It is not up to lillard to say what is enough or not. That will be for people hereafter to decide and talk about. If kawhi wants to belong up there then he should leave it all out on the court and not settle for what lillard is willing to settle for.

Thunder and warriors 2016 because it was on a bigger stage. They also had their fans for closeout games.

2011 heat as well because they were the favorite and couldn't take it to 7.

why are you here?

[HBK_Kliq_2]

why are you here?

Letting you know to put respek on Kawhi's name while I'm away.

[SATAN]

You think he deserves respect for choking in the second round of the playoffs. This is how ****ing stupid modern NBA fans are.

GOAT chokejob is arguable though. You could point out 1984 Finals where Magic Johnson dribbled the clock away in Game 2. He didn't dribbled into the paint, make a good pass, or threw up an alley-oop for somebody else. He just froze. He also made crucial errors in Game 4 where he turns over the ball that led to a steal and into overtime. He also missed 2 FT in OT too.

2011 Finals (LeBron) is pretty damn obvious by now so I'm not going to go too much in-depth. LeBron had 8 points on 3/11 shooting + 4 turnovers.

Michael Jordan had 19 points on 8/22 shooting + 8 turnovers in Game 1 of the 1995 semifinals vs the Orlando Magic. A little bit of an underrated choke.

So many other all-time greats had some bad games too.

None of those teams lost in the 2nd round

kawhi is not a team aj. And him winning with the spurs already deserves more respect than lebron has done in his entire career.

[FireDavidKahn]

What on earth does Dame know about winning?>

[SATAN]

Autistic retard confirmed. :facepalm

Slayed lmao

[TheGoatest]

Yes, Kawhi has nothing left to prove. Nobody thought that he could pull off the biggest choke job in the history of the league and he proved all the doubters wrong.

[HoopsNY]

Kawhi may not have anything to prove per say, but this season is a testimony of how bad these diva players have gotten and how it's ruining the NBA.

Who on earth thinks that load management can sustain any kind of team chemistry, especially with a team already plagued with injuries? How can you be the best player and think this would be an effective way to sustain championship-level play? I get that it happened last year, but this Clippers team wasn't the same and was very new playing together with the addition of Kawhi, PG, Jackson, and Morris.

Load management is pitiful and not good for the game. If Kawhi continues with this garbage, I hope his career tanks. He left a great team in Toronto with championship pieces to be a diva and team up with a perennial elimination game choker in PG? It's pathetic and I'm not sorry for him.

[Turbo Slayer]

Lillard is probably correct.

[Roundball_Rock]

He doesn't have anything to prove--he is an automatic HOFer if he retired today--but he is getting the type of scrutiny a guy like KD or Curry would because he is now viewed on that level (he still isn't getting anywhere near the scrutiny LeBron would of course).

That is one of the benefits of them losing. If they won the chip "load management" would explode even more via the "copycat" effect in sports. It is amusing, we keep hearing talk about their lack of chemistry. Well, maybe they should have put in the time on the court to develop chemistry instead of taking days off, even before Halloween.

[Whoah10115]

He doesn't have to prove anything.

But he's also not in any discussions for best ever players. Not 50.

He can put together a career that deserves that recognition, but let it actually happen.

[Gohan]

I’m convinced iverson is better than Kawhi all time

[Whoah10115]

Shouldn't need to be convinced of clear things.
