Kawhi Leonard vs Kevin Durant 1 on 1

[Lebron23]

Who do you think wins if they play 1 on 1? Race to 21

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Kawhi would bully that skinny bitch. If there's no refs and winners ball, kawhi could win 21-0 by just muscling him every play like Shaq.


With refs i say kawhi wins 21-10.

Kawhi is built like a tight end in NFL, durant is built like a fashion model geek.

Better muscles, bigger hands, better hairline and wont be known as Curry\Dray\Klay bitch his entire life.

[SouBeachTalents]

^ Really surprised you went with Kawhi tbh

[HBK_Kliq_2]

^ Really surprised you went with Kawhi tbh

anybody with a brain would. He's bigger, stronger, better.

I can question whether or not Durant could of won the title in 2019 on raptors . There's absolutely NOTHING you can question Kawhi couldn't do that Durant has done in his career so far. You could replace Durant 17\18 with 2014 Kawhi and still get the same results.

[Kobe_Bryant]

Durant 11 - kawhi 3


me, KD and Mike are the goat 1 on 1 players. is this a joke?

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Durant 11 - kawhi 3

The only time you're better 1 on 1 then Kawhi is when you get a white slut 1 on 1 at a Colorado hotel.

Kawhi has bigger hands, bigger muscles, better jump shot, more efficient then you.

732 points on 62% TS beats 695 points on 56% TS any day and kawhi was facing Giannis defense in conf finals instead of Steve Nash

[RRR3]

Durant, he’s taller. Matters a lot in 1 on 1. He’s also a better ISO player.

[Phoenix]

This thread is going to end up being HBK_Klit's singular shit takes against the rest of the board going with Durant. Another day on ISH....

There’s absolutely no way kawhi beats kobe 1 on 1 even if he is better

[AirBonner]

Durant could literally shoot over Kawhi every single time. It’s not fair tbh

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Durant could literally shoot over Kawhi every single time. It’s not fair tbh

kawhi has a 7"3 wingspan like Giannis does and Giannis is always blocking the shit out of Durant's jumpshot

let's ask Michael Jordan what he thinks

"I would beat everyone at 1 on 1.. except for kobe"


well that was fun. onto the next topic

[HBK_Kliq_2]

There’s absolutely no way kawhi beats kobe 1 on 1 even if he is better

6"6 212 lbs, 6"11 wingspan and small hands (and a small dick according to the girl in Colorado)

Kawhi is 6"7 225 lbs, 7"3 wingspan, gigantic hands, consensual sex.

I'm taking Kawhi in that matchup easily. Nobody can stop Kawhi from scoring the ball and he has 2 defensive player of the year awards

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Go draft Adam Morrison and get the hell out of here with that shit. Jordan can play but that doesn't mean he can evaluate talent.

[Kobe_Bryant]

Go draft Adam Morrison and get the hell out of here with that shit. Jordan can play but that doesn't mean he can evaluate talent.

MJ didn't scout me in a closed door meeting with a bunch of yes men. we defended each other. he judged my ability as an opponent

try again loser

[SouBeachTalents]

Yeah, Jordan's the GOAT but he's proven to be a shitty evaluator of talent.

[Kobe_Bryant]

he didn't have to evaluate me with highschool clips. I busted his ass almost every time we played each other

[RRR3]

Prime Kobe outplayed old broken MJ and you’re acting as if that’s impressive. Have some standards.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

like back when you were throwing up airballs vs utah jazz in the 90s hahaahahah

[Phoenix]

kawhi has a 7"3 wingspan like Giannis does and Giannis is always blocking the shit out of Durant's jumpshot

Giannis is 4 inches taller, but let's go your route and say fukkit to logic.

Jordan never did that to Kawhi? so how he can tell if Kobe is better?

Why wont you go fly off a damn helicopter again, this thread didn't mention your rapist ass

[Kobe_Bryant]

Prime Kobe outplayed old broken MJ and you’re acting as if that’s impressive. Have some standards.

I was basically on par with him 1 on 1 in 2 regular season games and the allstar game in 98 as well.

19 years old vs mvp jordan. he knew what was up


and I thought you lebron fans said jordan was only in year 14 and 15 in Washington so his legs were fresh and that's why lebrons had way more longevity based on mileage or something. but I guess that whole narrative changes based on whether lebron is part of the conversation huh.

[Kobe_Bryant]

kawhi has only played in an era with little or no defense. anyone from this era is automatically disqualified from being compared to me or mike

[000]

kawhi has a 7"3 wingspan like Giannis does and Giannis is always blocking the shit out of Durant's jumpshot
Realistically theres no way Giannis only has a 7'3" wingspan. Hes 6'11" and a 7'3" wingspan would be average at his height

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Giannis is 4 inches taller, but let's go your route and say fukkit to logic.

kawhi dominated giannis and backdoor swept him.

Durant has never dominated anybody, all he did was join a 73 win title team.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

kawhi has only played in an era with little or no defense. anyone from this era is automatically disqualified from being compared to me or mike

Any era that faces Steve Nash in the conference finals can't be called stronger defense then an era facing Giannis in the conference finals.

[Kobe_Bryant]

the "wall" and team defense beat giannis. 1 on 1 giannis would probly kill kawhi

[RRR3]

*psychotic ramblings*
1. Kobe was nowhere close to any version of Bulls MJ until 2001.
2. I don’t give a **** about what other people you argued with who happen to have the same favorite player as I do said. Try using logic for once in your life.
3. You’re psychotic

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Realistically theres no way Giannis only has a 7'3" wingspan. Hes 6'11" and a 7'3" wingspan would be average at his height

His wingspan is average for his height then. He jumps like a freak and that's how he can block Durant's jumpshot.

Kawhi may have tougher time guarding Durant then Giannis does but if its winners ball Durant is never stopping Kawhi from scoring.

[Airupthere]

Are they allowed to take a break during the match?

[Kobe_Bryant]

Any era that faces Steve Nash in the conference finals can't be called stronger defense then an era facing Giannis in the conference finals.

oh right I forgot nash was defending me. wait no he wasn't.

I think its more of a sign that defense won during my era because nash never sniffed an nba finals with his d'antoni system bullshit. that style would be like the warriors from 2015 to 2018 in today's nba

[Phoenix]

irrelevant bullshit

You were attempting to make a point that Kawhi would be able to block KD's shot because of similar wingspan to Giannis, without accounting for Giannis being the same height as KD and 4 inches taller than Kawhi.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

the "wall" and team defense beat giannis. 1 on 1 giannis would probly kill kawhi

They didn't have Kawhi guarding Giannis the first 2 games and he did anything he wanted with them and bucks went up 2-0

Kawhi defended Giannis after that and Bucks never won again.


In Games 3-5, Giannis is 9-of-27 from the field with four turnovers in the 112 offensive possessions where he's been guarded by Leonard, per the NBA's matchup data.

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/how-kawhi-leonard-and-the-raptors-have-shut-down-giannis-antetokounmpo-to-take-control-of-the-conference-finals/


Kawhi is the damn wall. Bucks also had a 72 offensive rating as a team when kawhi was guarding Giannis.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

oh right I forgot nash was defending me. wait no he wasn't.

I think its more of a sign that defense won during my era because nash never sniffed an nba finals with his d'antoni system bullshit. that style would be like the warriors from 2015 to 2018 in today's nba

Any team that is in the conference finals with Nash is a laughing stock defensively.

Meanwhile, Kawhi is facing teams led by 2x defensive player of the year Giannis, all defensive players Simmons and Embiid and Butler, defensive player of the year Draymond Green. Kobe has never faced defense players at that level all in 1 playoff run. You were going through chumps like Carmello and Steve Nash

[Phoenix]

As I said :facepalm

[HBK_Kliq_2]

The numbers luka was putting up when defended by Kawhi were similar to what Giannis was putting up while being guarded by Kawhi.

Durant already got locked up by Kawhi in the 2014 west finals.

Where was this defense when Mitchell went off for 35 on 60%TS against the Clippers last year?

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Kawhi will need to take time off tho

He can take time off and still match Kareem\Kobe in finals MVPS all at the age of 30.

What have you done Tatum? Besides make Tyler Herro look like a modern day Jerry West in the conference finals?

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Where was this defense when Mitchell went off for 35 on 60%TS against the Clippers last year?

All Kawhi had to do is play 2 games to eliminate that midget dork, are you kidding me?

Kawhi doesn't begin the series on the superstar, he waits until his team gets in trouble and then he shuts the star down just like he did with Luka and Giannis.

[Kobe_Bryant]

so you think nash and a stacked offensive super power team that basically invented today's style of run and gun 3 ball jacking losing a few conference finals in the 2000s and having no real success should warrant burying an entire decade of great defensive teams such as my lakers and others like the Celtics pistons, spurs etc..?

Huh? Kawhi played 4 games and the Clippers lost 2 of them. He missed 2 and the Clippers went 2-0, with Mitchell having by far his worst game of the series in one of the games Kawhi missed.

[Phoenix]

Durant already got locked up by Kawhi in the 2014 west finals.

Because as we all know, defending a player within the context of a team defense in 5 on 5 is analogous to a 1 on 1 scenario.

If Steve f'n Nash was in the conference finals, the era wasn't any better defensively then Kawhi's era.

Also KG was washed by 2010

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Huh? Kawhi played 4 games and the Clippers lost 2 of them. He missed 2 and the Clippers went 2-0, with Mitchell having by far his worst game of the series in one of the games Kawhi missed.

Kawhi was pacing himself the first two games to see if anybody else on his team was going to do anything as he just won the mavs series by himself. He realized George was a piece of shit by game 3\4 and won the games by himself.

George won a game with no Conley in game 5

game 6 limp Conley which Mann had to randomly go off for 35 points because Gobert kept leaving him open AKA FLUKE win.

He used the same season propping up Kawhi's home record that Durant beat him without HCA :oldlol:

[1987_Lakers]

I dont think any perimeter player in history beats Durant in a 1 on 1 game.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

i explained why kawhi would beat him 1 on 1. He has bigger hands, he's bigger physically, better shooter, better defender.

Westbrook was 4th in MVP voting that season.

[tanibanana]

Durant is the prototype player for 1-on-1. I see him beating Kawhi 7/10 times.

[warriorfan]

Quality thread.

[LeCola]

I agree, also thinking same about bigs too.

Durant is very good on protecting rim.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Protecting the rim? Giannis dropped 32PPG on 60% eFG on him last years playoffs.

Durant can't do shit besides score. He has never had a great playoff run. He has had historic chokejobs like blowing 3-1 in 2016, embarrassed himself in 2012 finals, blow 2-0 lead vs bucks last season.

The only thing he did was join a 73 win title team, which pretty much any top 100 great could of done.

[L8krH8tr]

I would take Dirk ****ing Nowitski over Kawhi 1vs1 Durant. What makes Kawhi special is his overall ability to score,defend,pass. KD is mostly a pull up on you anytime anywhere scorer that is better for a 1on 1 game.

So ya give me Prime Dirk vs KD.

Dirk is way too slow and wouldn't be able to keep up with Kawhi and would get dunked on.
