Kawhi hasnt been an elite defender since 2016, just living off rep

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

He's still a good defender but nikkas still pretend like he's elite. Nah ever since he became a top scorer his defense has fallen off.

His 2019 run was overrated too. Raptors were LOADED defensively. One of the most stacked defensive casts of all time.

Lowry, FVV and Danny are all All Defense caliber perimeter players

Serge, Siakam, Marc are all All Defense caliber bigs and Marc was their defensive anchor in the playoffs and a DPOY

He got too much praise for his defense on Giannis. It was a team effort. OG did just as well the next season in their matchups. Heat exposed Giannis holes even more with Jae Crowder checking him too.

This. Klay Thompson too. Check their advanced stats. Nothing special.

OP saying what we all know to be true.

People act like Kawhi didn't have a career ending injury with the Spurs and basically has only been able to play at 50% athleticism since then.

Clippers had a top 6 defense when kawhi was on the court this season. He also led the raptor starting 5 in defensive rating for playoffs and led them in blocks during finals.

You're confusing him for Durant.
