Start a franchise: Kawhi Leonard or Stephen Curry

[Stanley Kobrick]

who would you draft

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Give Kawhi the core of Klay/Dray/Iggy and you would win more rings. You wouldn't get the fancy 73 wins but you wouldn't be choking in 2016 either.

[houston]

Curry he the better player and more marketable

[Marchesk]

Curry, because he's either playing for you or actually hurt.

[LAmbruh]

Imagine Kawhi standing in the corner sucking his thumb while Paul George guards the opposing teams best guard


That's Klay, nightly

Spurs and Warriors already answered that question.

Except Steph was drafted into joke of a franchise that won 29 games year before, and Kawhi was drafted into one of the best teams of all time that just won 61 games. And Steph still achieved better results.

Even if we ignore how much better Steph is, we can't forget the fact that he is probably Warriors lifer and Kawhi left his team the first chance he got and held them hostage for a year before that.

Lol the warriors haven't done a lot until steve kerr came to takeover the team six years ago

[Drygon]

Kawhi easily.

He's much better playoff performer than any version of Curry.

Playoffs >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> regular season.

Longevity is overrated. Curry never reached same level as 2017 & 2019 playoff Kawhi.

Do you also rate e.g. Karl Malone (who underachieved in playoffs) ahead of Kawhi with same logic?

Curry has 3 rings. Malone has...?

Bad example.

What is with all these new 2020 posters popping up that just started watching the NBA

Has nothing to do with longevity. Curry's per game numbers are better. And saying 2019 Kawhi was better than even 2019 Curry is hardly a given. 2017 Curry is clearly better if that's the case.

If the Warriors are healthy next year I'll take them over the Clippers.

Also are you insinuating that Curry underachieved in the playoffs after winning three rings in five straight finals appearances in the modern era? Name someone else who didn't play with Curry who has done that!

I guess if Curry hadn't underachieved, he'd be the best player in NBA history by now.

Kawhi has an iconic playoff winning buzzer beater vs 76ers last year. Stephen Curry has a couple 1st quarter buzzer beaters, nothing iconic however

Curry has records. Kawhi has a single shot. Kind of shows the gap.
