It wasn't only Kawhi's fault and he didn't lost alone, whole Clippers team lost and whole Clippers team was trash that night. Nobody could score anything from Clippers that night and Denver destoryed them. Kawhi could score maybe 30 points that game, and Denver would win again because that night they were better team than Clipers. But it was only one game, that game he and whole team played bad, but every other game he was the leader and when Clipers should destroy Dallas and should play conference finals, Paul George played like trash and Kawhi was the man who every game played amazing, there wasn't game where he scored less than 30 points against Dallas, but you only want to talk about him when he play bad, not when he destroy everyone. Lebron mustn't let himself to play like noob with team like Miami. In 2011 Dwayne Wade had the best statistics than everyone, he had even better statistics than Dirk in offense and defense and Miami still lost in 6 games. I can't even imagine how bad Lebron played when he had the best player of the finals that year and Miami still lost. Kawhi choked only one game, Lebron chiked whole series.

@@nate8604 i mean career wise but kawhi is better then lebron right now

[@Duchesnerecords]

So we’re gonna forget Leonard shot just 43% in the finals and was carried by his team in a few moments mainly that game 6 where his teammates balled out and he was no where to be found. There were so many plays and moments where i thought If that was lebron and not Leonard that series would’ve been over in 4 or 5

[@zzjxchsnonezjxx]

Absolutely man. He didn't deserve that final MVP.

[@Jgooze521]

Kawhi still dominated (ON BOTH ENDS) at times. Series could have ended in Game 5 after dude scored 10 points in the last 2 minutes. But besides Finals, if you can't consider him as the best after the ENTIRE Playoff run he had then idk what to say. I like Bron, but he's at a point where he caters his team to fit his style. Kawhi showed up to nomansland and motivated tf out of his guys with his play. So with that, I feel like leadership is 100 percent the deciding factor this series. Both guys are happy and have a brand new team that they like. Literally no excuses. Can't fucking wait for this matchup

[@turbografxx]

Nick Duchesne I’m saying, people don’t recognize how insanely deep that raptors squad was

[@darrinhedges3767]

Kawhi averaged 30.5 points & 9 rebounds a game while being the best defender in the entire playoffs. He scored the most on offense and was #1 in defense! And then grabbed his team 9 rebounds a game. Lebron is a better passer, but Kawhi is better overall

tottaly agree with max, lebron is an all time great, but disregarding all his past achievement, and judging him purely based on the now, with age a factor, anyone with a logical unbiased mind, should accept that he is not the best player right now, because he is past his prime, being number 3 is generuose in itself, curry despite reaching his 5th consecutive finals is in 6th thats the real crime here.
