To those saying the first comment here is wrong, he's absolutely right. What this video doesn't show is that it took less than a week for max to change from Giannis being the best in the world to Kawhi. He often lives in the moment,so as soon as his pick fails he jumps to the other. The best player in the world have to put in the work overtime, one bad game or series isn't supposed to change that.. Lillard was the bubble mvp playing better than anyone then.. Was he the best in the world??

[@rirililyriri5765]

@I got gaz ye bro but y'all had the sixth man called injury but whatever

[@axelstone3386]

I got gaz KD is a big part. He was the missing piece in Warriors. Warriors were a good team without him, but with him, they were great. They did beat Lebron, but remember, it was in 6 games and without Kyrie and Love. The following year, they lost in 7 with both of them playing. Draymond knew the Warriors couldn’t hang with a fully healthy Cavs team and that’s why he recruited KD to begin with. And yeah even when Klay went down it was 3-2, but it would have went to 7 if he didn’t go down. He had 30 points before he went down and they only lost by 4. They probably wouldn’t have even won game 5 if KD didn’t score 11 early on. I wouldn’t say Kawhi threw that whole team on his back in the finals. He was for sure the best player on that team, but that team as a whole played amazing. Injuries are a part of the game and it sucks, but let’s all be real, a fully healthy Warriors would have whooped Toronto.

[@lazynotuseless8843]
