Revisiting the greatest playoff run in NBA history (Kawhi Leonard 2019)

[HBK_Kliq_2]

He scored 732 points on 62% TS, which is the highest total scoring\TS combination for any player during a championship run. He guarded Giannis, shut him down and backdoor swept him, he made the only game 7 buzzer beater in history in the 2nd round and averaged 34PPG that series, he eliminated Curry\Draymond the duo of a 73 win dynasty. Curry\Giannis have a combined 4 mvps and 4 championships and Kawhi was able to eliminate them in back 2 back series.

Not only did he do all that, he also had to face all defensive members Giannis, Lopez, Butler, Embiid, Simmons, Draymond, Igoudala.

In game 7 vs 76ers, he had to have a jaw dropping 48% usage just for his team to pull out the win.

He backdoor swept Giannis after being down in the series 0-2, the series didn't turn around until Kawhi was able to start guarding Giannis in game 3. In game 3 east finals he also scored every point in overtime and made the game winning steal on Brogdon.

Kawhi will never get leading anything - doesn't play enough.

Kinda unfair to Shaq (leaves out 3 years). Dirk - the best mid-range shooter ever. I am surprised at:

1. Lebron at the basket and twice at the 3 point line
2. Kobe at the 3 point line

LeBron had the GOAT choke, but he's gone on to win 4 titles/FMVP's since then, while Kawhi's yet to lead the Clippers to the conference finals. And bringing up no fans makes your argument worse, that means Kawhi was in a pressure free environment and STILL choked his ass off :oldlol:

All of them - Ariza is a role player - it's much more fitting that he jump from team to team than your hailed franchise player doing the same.

Kawhi has two of those actually and their best in the west conference, 1 more then lebron does in the west. Lebron will never have another one either, he's washed up now and got lucky on the mickey mouse hoops. SO Kawhi will always have more 30 PER west playoff runs then Lebron.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

3 teams in his entire career isn't even that much, that's less then Lebron.

Not everybody can still win championships and play like shit in the finals for 11 straight years like Duncan did from 2005 until his retirement.

It's a cumulative stat...so all of them.

So Kawhi choked without the pressure of playing in front of a live crowd? Yikes.

Not a single one. Where does it hurt?

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Not a single one. Where does it hurt?

It's a stat with Trevor Ariza on it, AKA irrelevant

Which one hurt more for soft limp dick luka, the 2020 burial by kawhi or 2021 burial by kawhi?

[HBK_Kliq_2]

It's a cumulative stat...so all of them.

the best scorers kawhi and durant are not on it 1 time? Dumb f'n stat is what it is.

Actually thru the Finals he has zero. Everyone has zero that's not named LeBron, Jordan, or Shaq.

Thanks for playing chico.

Yep, lots of deflection there but I'll ask again.....it hurts where?

[SaintzFury13]

he eliminated Curry\Draymond the duo of a 73 win dynasty.

You killed your entire argument the moment you put this sentence in and thought that would be a good idea.

They were the two best players by all advanced stats during their 2015/2016 runs when they won a title and had a 73 win season.

[SaintzFury13]

First off, going entirely off of advanced stats is about as idiotic as claiming that Kawhi's 2019 run was the greatest run ever. Second, 2019 Draymond Green was a much different player than 2015/2016 Draymond.

You're not any better.

Kawhi is a trash can. The clippers lost him in the playoffs and didnt skip a beat!

[ShawkFactory]

Some of the things you say are so absolutely retarded.

Like it's truly confusing someone could have takes like this.

Eye test and advanced stats are good enough for me to form an opinion.

Draymond was dominant in 2019 playoffs actually, he led warriors in GmSc in the 2nd round vs rockets when Curry was struggling and Durant got injured. West finals he put up 17 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals, 3 blocks and 59% TS. What the f*ck were you watching.

Losing 2 games to chris paul less suns with cameron payne starting.

Then once chris paul wore off his quarantine rust, he blew the clippers out by 30 points

The best thing that him and the raptors ever did that year was stopping the warriors from three-peating. Nothing more, nothing less. Then the raptors also won 50+ games in the succeeding season after he left them, although it was tainted by covid.

Anyway, op is still a hardheaded dimwit just like his idol 3ball. Grow the fukk up.
