Acho going crazy with these takes man. 1. LBJ was never scared of Kawhi 2. Kobe was a better 2 way player than Kawhi 3. Kawhi got lucky af in 2019 finals. In two of the games he got carried by his role players not to mention GSW lost 2 of their starters. 4. Kawhi would never sniff top 10

It doesn’t take away from Kawhi’s legacy. BUT part of his legacy has to be the load management which has led to several discussions about NBA players being soft because of it

Please correct the title: Kawhi was pulled out, he didn’t drop out...

THIS CAST IS PERFECT

Most lethal mid range shooter since jordan was and still is Rip Hamilton

[@nellyville69]

Kawhi Leonard is indispensable for every team his god giving gifts is never to be questioned but players like him are very fragile players
