[@Kevin-ug7yn]

I'm not making any comparisons in terms of accomplishments but simply in terms of style of play, Kawhi Leonard plays so similar to the GOAT Michael Jordan, defensively he's a monster and offensively he has a killer mindset and identical play style in some of these highlights. He does already have 1 ring & finals MVP, and 2 defensive POY, and is in regular season MVP talks and could be possibly acquiring CP3 this offseason? Man this guy can be something special, more than he already is. It's not a coincidence he's signed with Jordan brand either.
