Kawhi Leonard is a legit superstar in this league

[C-Green]

lol...no...he can't. Kawhi is never going to be the offensive player Durant is...that's just ridiculous to say he could reach his level.

I think it's ridiculous for you to say it's ridiculous. I said I don't think he will in an earlier post, but he's damn good man. I don't know what his ceiling is and neither do you.

Someone doesn't know what they're typing about. Leonard was the 3rd best 3-point shooter last year at 44% from beyond the arc (better than Durant) and also one of the best mid-range shooters. He actually shot the ball better and on more attempts than Larry Legend from 3-point land and he's considered one of the GOAT shooters in NBA history.

I won't get into his scoring arsenal, but be aware that it's quite large and spectacular. He can basically score from anywhere on the floor from post-ups to fades to step backs, he does it all. The only question was that of volume, but at 28 PPG so far this season he's showing that he just needed the green light for that to come to fruition.

Its funny when people who watch a couple of Spurs games a year suddenly become experts on the team lol

They forget players get better and act like its 2 years ago.

The overrating of Leonard is starting to get annoying.

Kawhi is a superstar defensively with above average offense. Great shooter.
However, last playoffs showed that he wasn't ready yet to lead an elite offense deep into the post season. Maybe this year he is.

But there is NO WAY IN HELL he will ever be Durants level offensively. Durant has GOAT scoring potential and on his worst seasons drops 27 PPG with ease.

Bookmarked.

No problem.
You know I like Leonard a lot, but get back to me when he has seasons averaging...

30,28,28,32,26,28 PPG
has a career average of 27.5 PPG

or playoff runs averaging
25,29,29,31,30,28 PPG
which equals 29 PPG career in the playoffs

Durant is just on another level.
Leonard will have seasons of 23-26 PPG IMO, which is still great.

28 PPG this season. Get back to me when Durant wins a DPOY, FMVP and a ring.

does it get more boring than spurs players? it's like they hand pick players based on boring personalities

3 games into the season? Westbrooks averaging 39\12\12.....

FMVP? He averaged 14\7\2 in that post-season and 18PPG in the finals. Only won it because the big 3 aged and there was no stand out all-star on that team.

Durant averaged 31 PPG on 55% from the field in the finals.

[Hakeem Olajuwon]

Kawhi Leonard is now unquestionably my favourite two-way player in the nba .
his development each year excites me.

Lol the guy was born in Los Angeles and grew up in California probably grew up watching kobe

Yeah Spurs handpicked an eventual Finals MVP and multiple DPOY ... could be worse

AND DESTROYED BY LEBRON.............

[Sakkreth]

CP3's numbers may not be as gaudy as those others, but his impact is just as big if not bigger than some of theirs. He should certainly be mentioned with them all if nothing else.

Cp3 has all around game and LeBron has all around game. If they are both superstars imagine if you replaced cp3 with LeBron on the Clippers. That shit is unfair.

See the difference?

It would make sense, Kawhi's midrange game is actually strikingly similar to Kobe's, especially in terms of arsenal. Dude has it all; the one dribble pull-up, two dribble pull-up, stepback, fadeaway, turnaround in the post after getting to his spot...

I love watching Kawhi's offensive game continue to develop. Anyone who thinks he's "boring" just doesn't appreciate basketball. He's a joy to watch on both ends of the court.

Agreed. His play is crisp, def not boring.
