Kawhi Leonard’s title run greatest I’ve ever seen - Paul Pierce | 2019 NBA Finals | NBA Countdown

Jalen Rose, Chauncey Billups and Paul Pierce of NBA Countdown react to the Toronto Raptors defeating the Golden State Warriors in six games to win the NBA championship. Rose says Masai Ujiri “rolling the dice” on trading for Kawhi Leonard is what he will remember the most because it paid off. Billups adds that he is very proud of Kyle Lowry for finally being a champion for all the work he put in. Pierce expresses that Kawhi’s run to this championship is the greatest he has ever seen and that we possibly witnessed the end of the Warriors’ dynasty.

MEANWHILE kawhi gets hurt by the same warriors team, and after facing criticism for not rushing himself back by the spurs is ultimately traded to toronto and comes back to BEAT the same team that KD failed to beat in the 2016 wcf. now kawhi has just as much rings and FMVP as KD WITHOUT taking a shortcut by joining that team. but let me just sip my tea ☕ 🐸 .. like i said no hate towards towards KD and i pray he gets healthy but let this be a lesson. the easiest road is not always the best.

Savage for playing that damn song

[@horizon8318]

I was scrolling down to see if anyone else noticed... End of the road... Emotional yet savage...

Wasn’t that lady the one that called kawhi a emotion girl now look at her now 🤐 kawhi = 🐐

She got let go from ESPN. Now has no job.

that End Of The Road by Boys II Men as Curry walking the aisle cracked me up! LOL!!!!

[@rr4003]

Congratulations to Toronto but more specifically kawhi Leonard. Has always been underrated. But what I admire most is how humble he always remains no matter what. Also I'm from Vancouver Canada so yeah. Let go raptors. #1

[@bobokausapkohiq1908]

Raps denied the Glory of Oracle Arena for its last season. Worst is 0-3 at home during 2018-2019 NBA Finals with a Juggernaut team . You can Google this 3 million years from now.

i dont think we will be around that long! we have extincted lot of animals. so somebody else will extinct us.

[@85gmb1]

Their bench sucked and KD and Klay were injured. How were they a juggernaut?

[@king_has_no_clothskul8635]

@@85gmb1 they were already a juggernaut and punked whole league( better IQ). but eventually it caught up to them. that is bayarea for you. it is a place for boom and bust. nothing lasts forever there. so you have these peaks and slumps like no other place in the world. mind games at its best. but GSW got their comeuppance( they rode 3 rings with all injured opponents and eventually they had to face it). it is not possible to win like that in modern era unless you have deep pockets. you cant do this in milwakee or smaller markets. i wont be surprised if they sign up another superstar for curry next year as both klay and kd are out. both would not get any contract( if gsw means business). they will get butler and somebody else. who knows even AD. it is a smartest organistion and they will find a way to compete. curry is still balling. if curry was injured all bets are off. they still got draymond, curry and cousins will also recover. so with another star and deeper bench, they will be around again!

How can you forget Dirk's run in 2011?

[@noeltaylor3594]

Dirk and Dallas literally broket the Lakers. Think about it. L.A. hasn't been the same since the Mavs beat 'em by 40 on Mothers Day of 2011. I like Pierce and appreciate his take, but this Raptors run isn't better than Dallas. Dirk ran through some Hall of Famers in every round.

[@hashim3393]

@@noeltaylor3594 yep. Absolutely destroyed Kobe and the Lakers.

[@rondo9pgdw]

Because it really wasn't that great. Those Lakers were already broken weeks before that series.

@@noeltaylor3594 What Hall of Famers did he go up against in the first round?

[@noeltaylor3594]

@@rondo9pgdw Lamarcus Aldridge. Hey, that was only one, but most experts picked the Blazers in 5 or 6 and a few said they'd sweep Dallas. So, . . . Aldridge, Kobe, Pau, then KD, Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka, Wade, Bosh, and Lebron.

[@thebaconbuizel3598]

Oh no the Warriors only had 4 multi-time allstars, I feel sooo bad. Even then Klay played most of the series and Durant is why you won game 5. As legit as a title as there’s ever been.

I believe Paul pierce predicts raptors in six and that's the Truth

[@happychowtv1112]

This just in... Paul Pierce declares himself better than Kawhi

[@lg3385]

Paul Pierce after game 1 - the Raptors confidence is shattered.

[@ohhhyeahhh1174]

I agree this is the end of a era for the warriors, usually bad things happen to end of dynasties and this was the way they went down. They look so tired and they just broke down, no one really beat them, injuries and a ton of grind beat them.
