That shot in game 7 will forever be imprinted in my brain, it’s definitely my favorite basketball moment ever

[@RenegadeGaming777]

These people are such prisoners of the moment saying PG 13 is just as good as Kawhi like the Clippers are in the conference finals just because of him. Kawhi got hurt and he can't control that. Paul George couldn't even make it out of the first round with Westbrick who's a superstar but when gets with Kawhi he sees more success instantly. 🤷

He's gonna be one of the most underrated players ever. I honestly aren't even a kawhi fan particularly. But I don't think people are gonna realize how crazy good he was.

[@Anthonydu01630]

The problem with Khawi is that he don’t really care about the regular season, with the Spurs he won his 2 DPOY because he wasn’t THE GUY, he had Duncan, Parker ect and he was young so he had to prove himself. But since then, he only play hard in the post season, so he will never win an MVP, and unfortunately he is injury prone so i don’t see him winning another championship. If Khawi was playing like he play in the post season in the regular season and wasn’t injury prone, he would already have 1 or 2 MVP, he would have probably win this year with the Clippers and he would be considered on the same level as Kobe, Duncan, KD, Curry ect. Look at Giannis, with 2 MVP, 1 DPOY, 1 Finals MVP and a 50pts, 14pts, 5block closing game, he is already considered the 2nd best power forward ever after Tim Duncan, at only 26 years old, and probably a Top 20-Top 15 player ever ALREADY. But if Giannis was injury prone and was doing load management in the regular season he wouldn’t have his 2 MVP and wouldn’t be in that conversation, so it’s a shame for me, this era has to many talents man, Old Heads don’t realise it or they are just jealous, or maybe too nostalgic to the point of becoming blind … Because im sorry, KD and post season Khawi are easily on MJ level for me, and they aren’t even the best player of this generation, and then you have Shaq, Duncan, Kobe, Curry, Giannis, KG, Dirk, Harden, Iverson, Westbrook,Wade, Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Chris Paul, Dame lillard, Embiid, Jokic, Doncic, AD, Kyrie, Klay thompson, Paul George, D.Rose, Rondo, Trae Young, Tatum, Zion, Booker … Im sorry but thats better than Magic, Kareem abdul Jabbar, Bird, Olajuwon, Shaq, Mchale, Karl Malone, Doctor J, Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, Charles barkley, Isaiah Thomas, Roadman, Stockton, Reggie Miller, Clyde Drexler, James Worthy, Robert Parish ect. Lebron competition have been way better than MJ competition, especially in their prime. When MJ hit his prime around 88, and Pippen became a superstar, Magic, Bird, Kareem, Mchale, Dr.J, Isaiah thomas ect, basically the 3 superteams, the Lakers, Celtics and Pistons were old and washed, or retired. But when Lebron hit his prime around 2007, he had to face prime SPURS with the big 3 of Duncan, the big 4 of celtics with KG, Pierce, Ray Allen and Rondo, the Thunders of KD, Westbrook, Harden and Ibaka, and again the big 3 spurs, but with the reincarnation of MJ himself, Khawi Leonard, and then, he faced the best team of all time with a 73-9 record, and he beat them, but they added KD, a guy who can do everything MJ could, but better because he is fucking 7ft tall and can move and dribble like a guard … And don’t remember the MAVS of Dirk and Jason kidd, who beat the Lakers of Kobe and Gasol, the thunders of KD and westbrook, and the big 3 SPURS . Lebron played in the most stacked era ever, he even had to adapt his game because of the drastic change in the way the game is played now with all the 3points, the spacing and faster pace.

Thanks Kawhi for the years spent as a San Antonio Spur. I had the pleasure of watching you, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili play the best basketball I have ever witnessed. It’s hard to enjoy the game now after seeing the best during that time. The Spurs family misses you and all that could have been. Thanks for the time spent as a Spur.

Man, watching him growing as a child, loved basketball because of him when I used to hate this beautiful sport. Seeing him as champion, playing at MJ and Kobe kind of levels. Then watching him get injured again for tonight's game 3 against Phoenix. It's just heartbreaking. Kawhi is so great, a living legend, and not being able to put the final step when it comes to health, just sucks. Anyways, either you win a ring again or not, I'll love you forever, the klaw, the Cyborg, the Terminator, the best player on the court always, no matter who he was playing against
