Leonard taking those "system player" comments from Durant personally these days. Outplayed him in both games this year.

[@youbetterknowityoubettersa2685]

who can stop any player in the league but can't be stopped by any other player in the league...Kawhi Leonard. ....

damn kawhi did durant dirty on that last cross over... the "system player" just played KD

[@greatwhitesufi]

+Edward Jimenez You call that done dirty? How about when Curry broke Kawhi's ankles by moving without the ball. I gotta tell ya, he broke my heart that game.

[@irnrep5631]

+salman sufi that had nothing to do with this comment 😂

[@greatwhitesufi]

[@Rfranklinz45]

+IRN REP i swear these curry nut-huggers can't control themselves and post about him on every video. Doesn't matter if curry is in it or not they just have to post about him. lmao

[@greatwhitesufi]

Rfranklinz45 lol. Just saying there were worse ways to be "done dirty".

[@zafiruzoma6234]

This just makes you appreciate kawhi’s amazing mid range game even more

Will Durant ever win a title in OKC or will he take his talents to another team? Find out next time on BasketBall Z.

Kevin Durant has turned into an overglorified spot up shooter in OKC.

[@Isaac-nm2pv]

How dear u disrespect greatness anyone who watches thunder games knows KD is one of the best of all time in the making

[@Isaac-nm2pv]

The rest of the team apart from WB sometimes just don't show up in the clutch

[@thatindiandude4602]

+Shadowwe1 But he did have plenty of assists so....

[@omcctwg]

+Isaac Enelamah Did you just say Westbrick shows up in the clutch? MAJOOOR L.

Kevin Durant- FG - 11/25 (44%) 3 pt - 0/5 FT% - 100% (6/6) REB - 4 AST - 8 STL - 1 BLK - 1 Total Points: 28 Kawhi- FG - 10-24 (42%) 3 pt - 1/6 (16%) FT% - 100% (5/5) REB - 7 AST - 3 STL - 3 BLK - 1 Total Points: 26 Analysis: Kevin barely shot better than Kawhi inside the three point line, had more assists, and two more points than Kawhi total. Kawhi BARELY shot better than KD from the three point line (still shot bad though), had more rebounds (offensive and defensive) and had more steals. (Side note: Kawhi also was clutch)

[@lilysworld1802]

[@jasperaguilan4076]

A super spurs fan: will analyst still hold their words that KAWHI LEONARD can not guard a point guard after this game? i think its ESPN "is kawhi a superstar", Kawhi can guard any position and any player efficiently. Kawhi leonard vs westbrook + durant I am super spurs fan and kawhi leonard fan. I hope that analyst will commend KL that HE really can guard a point guard.

[@faisalosman8873]

Kawhi and KD are equal (MY OPINION ) but fr tho okc aren't clutch

its hard to say anything bad about Kawhi.. he literally gives no one a reason to dislike

[@psalmist4god]

How or where do i found this full game?

[@CookieDaMann]

A rare moment of Kawhi talking

[@freejae3884]

Westbrook with the 9 turnovers tho.

[@StoppingLeTardsSince]

Kawhi >> KD in every facet of the game except scoring KD is losing my respect as a clutch player..he doesn't have that fire in his eyes and can't seem to take over games when they matter

[@thebutlerdidit365]

L

[@LeftyG13]

first it was a great and evenly matched duel and each player played great second just because kd can't will his shit team to wins doesn't mean he's not clutch what else do you want him to do game in and game out he's consistently putting up great numbers which keeps and strengthens the respect I have for him

[@marioiscoolism]

Every time i see kevin durant dribbling the ball I cringe

[@ejj9956]

true. it's kawhi's deffense that puts him over KD. late in the game both were scoring like crazy but kawhi also turned up the deffense while kd just waited to get the ball back

[@Isaac-nm2pv]

+nba expert why..

[@jed5000]

Kawhi Leonard is the next MJ.

[@faisalosman8873]

Nah he the next Scottie pippen

[@kjp423king]

A "W " is for u my kind sir it you meant to say LeBron James but u didnt so hol dis "L"

[@WengfeiLeroy]

+Jed linen His jumpshot is too good to be like Lebron and Scottie, if he had the fire which he still could have I'd say for certain he's int he Jordan and Kobe convo...but those are def the closest players i would compare him to.

[@jed5000]

+Dell Pc23 That would be an insult to Kawhi if I'm honest, Leonard is an elite offensive and defensive player.

[@lecowardjames]

+Dell Pc23 PIPPEN CAN'T SHOT

[@jedibbq]

No hate here. Durant and Kawhi are all world caliber players. Neither pumps out their chests when they score. Its awesome to see them go head to head. I feel a little worried that KD wont win a ring in OKC. Maybe he should go to SA? Why not? Duncan and Ginobili will probably retire after this season and KD will become a free agent. The era of big time free agents not playing in big markets is over. KD in SA with Aldridge, Kawhi, and Patty Mills could be a dynasty. Just sayin.

[@goodman5836]

nah Golden state better

[@SManigault15]

Sam presti better make some moves this off-season cause I really think he should be fired

[@thatindiandude4602]

For people saying Kawhi outplayed Durant, not IMO. I thought this was a pretty even, highly competitive matchup.

[@whodat6836]

agreed. durant played well.

[@210doom]

[@issacsanchez5594]

even match up for sure, love seeing them go at it

It was for me a lil bit but it gets better as you watch more

[@djtwizz92]

Why is no one talking about that cross on kd?

[@CheckPlz]

I'm sorry I fw the thunder but I gotta do it Choklahoma City

anyone notice KD debuted his KD 8 Elite shoe

Hawaii is the best playa in tha NBA

[@WorldBFree-wg4if]

KAWHI NOT LET IT FLY

[@MrFleeant]

THE CLAW

[@SRFColonel]

Lol people in the comments shitting all over KD when he was the one keeping his team in it. Westbrick was the one who fucked this game up for Thunder fans, 5/16 from the field and 9 TURNOVERS. Kawhi is a beast btw.

[@mukkundsunjii]

+Marcus Romul kawhi was guarding westbrook though...probably why

[@Rfranklinz45]

+Marcus Romul yeah pop switched Kawhi onto westbrook in 2nd half and WB literally started throwing the game away. 9 turnovers lol

[@CheckPlz]

The Thunder played so well until the Fourth

[@lyndellduality1169]

1:34 lmfao 💀💀💀💀

[@isaach4583]

2:25 If that went in....

this is not 60fps wtf?! its like 45

Anybody else notice that Durant couldn't stay in front of Kawhi?

[@210doom]

+Jabari Chiphe I was at the game, he legit crossed him at least 3 times

I don't want KD to leave OKC that's his team they need to trade Westbrook once this season is over

[@qaz-di8cp]

[@R2theawesomeJ]

Westbrook for CP3, Thunder is dangerous.

[@natejohnson5370]

not a bad trade actually and could work out for both teams

[@mirrorcon2252]

OKC stay taking Ls

[@lildizzy52]

I guess it's time for me to just hop on the Warriors bandwagon or the spurs... #DubsNation #GoSpursGo

[@lildizzy52]

naw for real though KD has no help besides Westbrook and Kanter. Ibaka is so overrated.

[@210doom]

+lildizzy52 #The L distributor W

[@Christusolus]

NBA so rigged. 1:46 the refs weren't going to call that if he had made that basket.

[@callofduty4702]

Kd needs a true point guard..

[@gawdlike4075]

Russell averages over 10 assists

[@callofduty4702]

+GAWDlike Russell can't run an offense very well.. Lots of turnovers and coach makes Kd playmaker which is not his strength

[@humanspider4419]

true. john wall would be great

[@MrGgBaller187]

[@coffiningots]

The 'Defence' at 5:54 was unnecessary

[@bloopy.baller9836]

Thunder gave this game away, KD came to hoop and Kawhi went the fuck off. #nbafacts

[@lityyyy8085]

All I been watching.... 2020 on some bullshit

[@Rfranklinz45]

IF KD is serious about winning a ring he has to leave westbrook. Either go to the Warriors or Spurs and win. Westbrook holds Durant back with horrible 4th quarter decisions.

[@lecowardjames]

+Rfranklinz45 THE SURS DUN NEED HIM

[@Rfranklinz45]

+Oden Lau neither do the warriors, but if he wants to win that's where he'll go

[@lecowardjames]

Rfranklinz45 THE SPURS HAS KL + LMA,NO ROOM FOR KD

[@copypaste9230]

Rfranklinz45 And that's what he did he went to the warriors swept the weak ass spurs and got a ring

[@ginnjuice5630]

ill take rudy gay over Durant tbh. Durant stay freezin in the 4th smh

[@ginnjuice5630]

+JAYS ON MY Feet W

[@faisalosman8873]

I won't and I'm pretty sure no gm will do that

[@LeftyG13]

are you smoking lmfaooo

[@Miltonman100]

Rudy gay's own mama wouldn't take him over durant

[@LeftyG13]

Miltonman100 FAXXX

[@dukeskylar]

Why are people saying they were pretty even? You guys only watch the fucking points they put up. Yes points wise pretty even. Kd was passing more and therefore got 8 assists. But ill take kawhi's defense all day long. So therefore i conclude kawhi won this matchup come crunch time he locked it up.

[@thatindiandude4602]

So I have a question for people. When Kawhi first started playing, what were the predictions of how he was going to end up by people?

[@MrDecember91]

+Anil Nair Many people said he would be Gerald Wallace 2.0. Popovich was really the only guy who stated that Leonard would be the future

[@whodat6836]

Gerald Wallace.

[@arung8247]

oklahoma city turnovers

[@marchondublin5323]

Choklahoma City Turnovers*

[@primeparadox9796]

I'm not a fan of these KL vs KD debates. But seriously, KD. 2.32 is a CLEAR foul. You're running and pushing Kawhi on the shoulder at the same time. Yes you had a clean block, but your other hand is commiting a clear foul. It doesn't matter if you got a clean block, that doesn't negate that your right was clearing shoving. Take away the focus on his left hand and focus on his right hand - foul as clear as day.

[@theolddarksoul1129]

if he didn't have long fingers Kawhi was going to end him

[@keatonjones9911]

Steph Curry - Better than KD and Kawhi - Best shooter ever - Best in the world - Humble - NBA champion

[@faisalosman8873]

This a KD vs kawhi vid ......

[@theolddarksoul1129]

once again Kawhi outplayed KD

[@Isaac-nm2pv]

But he didn't..

[@thatindiandude4602]

+Isaac Enelamah I thought they were pretty even IMO.

[@210doom]

+Isaac Enelamah Kevin Durant- FG - 11/25 (44%) 3 pt - 0/5 FT% - 100% (6/6) REB - 4 AST - 8 STL - 1 BLK - 1 Total Points: 28 Kawhi- FG - 10-24 (42%) 3 pt - 1/6 (16%) FT% - 100% (5/5) REB - 7 AST - 3 STL - 3 BLK - 1 Total Points: 26 Analysis: Kevin barely shot better than Kawhi inside the three point line, had more assists, and two more points than Kawhi total.

[@justinboateng8728]

Russell Westbrook has become such a terrible in the player in crunch time. Kd will only ring a move if he moves from okc nothing.

[@Miltonman100]

They have to get rid of westbrook.9 turnovers really???Its no wonder they did better in kd mvp year with westbrook injured.

[@kdsmindset5484]

Niggas say kd play d well look at him now!

[@SkyrimGuy5000]

Lebron Durant and Leonard in no order are clearly the top tier small forwards in the NBA Carmelo Anthony and Paul George are second tier Gordon Hayward, Rudy Gay and Andrew Wiggins are third tier

[@StoppingLeTardsSince]

those "top tier" SFs all have great teams while the the "second and third tier" dont

[@SkyrimGuy5000]

+Stopping LeTards Since 2003 Correction they make their teams great without them the cavs and thunder would be mediocre and the Spurs would still be good but not like now

[@StoppingLeTardsSince]

+Huey Freeman Wrong. Those top tier players have great pieces surrounding them that elevate their play level. Playing with another star/stars with good role players obviously ensure success

[@StoppingLeTardsSince]

+Stopping LeTards Since 2003 Knicks, Pacers, Kings, Utah, and Minnesota arent great teams..barely good actually cause they don't have championship contending talent

[@SkyrimGuy5000]

+Stopping LeTards Since 2003 You replace Kawai with PG or Melo they lose more than 10 games put pg on the cavs they done girl to the finals last year

[@thomaschavis4095]

please explain how kawhi outplayed kd? their statlines were pretty much the same :/

[@kingsisko356]

he didn't. the spurs just played hard till the end.

[@lecowardjames]

+TheDuranchula35 CLUTCH PLAY OWNED KD

[@WengfeiLeroy]

+TheDuranchula35 Their offense was even but Kawhi made life hell for Westbrook.

[@thomaschavis4095]

+Oden Lau kd kept his team in the game as much as he could

[@thomaschavis4095]

+WengfeiLeroy tbh why was he even matched up on kawhi??

[@CheckPlz]

The Thunder once again choked and blew it They have lost 12 games after leading in the third quarter plus Russel Westbrooks stats are terrible in the 4th

[@marchondublin5323]

lol You saw that on ESPN before the game too? I knew he struggled but man that shit was ridiculous. 60. 55. 37. to 45. 13. 18. That's pathetic. I also did some more research & he averages almost the same amount of turnovers in the 4th alone than he does in all other 3 quarters combined.

[@CheckPlz]

+Kevin Hate Yea lol I didn't even realize how and bad it was then I saw the before game

[@marchondublin5323]

+Ks12 Same. I knew he struggled but a 42% midrange drop off??? That's staggering. Truly unbelievable.

[@CamCam-oh8qp]

Kawai is not better than KD if your starting a franchise who would you start with? let's be serious..

[@jellydonut7737]

dude kawhi. kd has not won 1 ring yet so how muchnof a leader is he

[@copypaste9230]

Jelly donut By you're dumb ass logic Bill Russell is the greatest of all time, James Johnson is better than wilt smh

[@kingacegreen]

watched the full game, danny green really did horrible

[@210doom]

+kingace kush He was 1/8 I believe. Super embarrassing for a man who set the record for most threes in a finals series. I remember when I would watch spurs games 2 seasons ago, and whenever he would get the ball at the three point line with space in-between him and the defender, I knew he was gonna shoot it and make it.

[@kingacegreen]

+Hayden Pockrus exactly, I think the Spurs need to trade him, not sure who would be a good fill in

[@210doom]

kingace kush I personally think they should start Ginobili over Green

[@kingacegreen]

+Hayden Pockrus true, honestly if you followed the whole game closely, you would realize the Spurs had a rough start, & took a while for them to get a bucket

[@210doom]

kingace kush very true, and yeah I was actually at the game lol. Didn't think they were going to win until the 4th. The whole crowd was on their feet after that 3 that Kawhi made. He just came in clutch and it was great.

[@michaelromig2372]

Kawhi for MVP

[@nateroheny4000]

Im sorry durant but hes already better than you.

[@copypaste9230]

Nate Roheny Nah you're dumb say that now

[@whodat6836]

that actually looked like a clean block on that dunk attempted by durant

[@lecowardjames]

+who dat HE FOULED KL

[@whodat6836]

+Oden Lau kawhi had really bad intentions. I don't blame him

[@tredd7385]

KD is so overrated.

[@youbetterknowityoubettersa2685]

Westbrook is the most overrated player in the league.
