@@Sportsguy0258Pg being out, there was to much weight on Kawhi. Playing back2back games for the first time in forever and His minutes were up crazy trying to make sure we don’t fall into the play in. Then trying to will us against the suns with a high usage rate. Was all just a recipe for disaster.
Yeah everybody else is overrated and can't play defense. I'm not listening to morons claiming someone is best player in the league all the while being a defensive liability..
Fundamentally one of the best defenders in the modern era. An NBA Finals MVP for one of the greatest dynasties in the game. Brought a championship to a franchise that neither Carter nor DeRozan could accomplish. He’s riddled with injuries since then, but he’s definitely still got some left in the tank for a few more good years.
@@user-eq4tq3vm3k nah, you’re just wrong. Jordan’s strength was getting in passing lanes, and using his length and vertical to disrupt shots in rear-pursuit.
@@samhartje723 buddy, there's are much longer compilation videos of Jordan playing much better defense than this including locking up all time great guards too. There's no way you can call Kawhi the best defender when Jordan was clearly putting up much much better numbers than him
@@lachlaneftI used to believe that.. if kawhi can’t stay healthy.. he ain’t light years ahead of butler Plus Jimmy G buckets is more dedicated for his team to win instead of Mr load management.. It’s pretty sad bc I was going for clippers to go all the way to the WCF.. ofc he sat out half the regular season just to get injured in the 1st round And heat was my pick for the east and I was right
Thanks for putting all these together, just absolutely incredible to watch. I'm pretty sure there's a good number in the NBA with greater wingspans, but something about his reach plus his ridiculous reflexes makes him so damn danger while he's on DEFENSE.
Did y'all know that Kawhi has the best stats in playoffs of any player ever? It's like he goes crazy in the playoffs every single time. He literally without injuries could be one of the best players in history, i believe he is in the talks even with the injuries tho. He is at least the most consistent player ever in playoffs on paper, can't even be argued 📜
I think he won't ever recover again. I'm just glad he has 2 rings because my other favorite Derrick Rose never got one, atleast when Kawhi retires we'll always remember how he helped the Raptors and Spurs big time on those rings.
Toronto used every bit of this man's health for a chip lmao Fucking beast tho, shame he has degenerative knees but that 2019 run was epic, that maybe the last time we'll see Kawhi play that healthy
If u want some crazy kawhi performance watch his game at 2017 playoffs vs grizzlies i think it was game 4 and memphis homecourt. Although they lost, kawhi was in his bag on that game
Scottie Pippen and Khawi Leonard are the greatest lock down defenders the Leauge have ever seen that can defend all position. Salute to all defensive minded basketball players out there! May it be on NBA or just a regular fan! 🤗
@@jasonbatester5784 They may not be fast but their anticipation skills and strength are good enough for them to hang with players that are faster or shiftier than them
@@ApolloTheUltimate better than pippen kawhi? Check the video of Kobe Bryant learning / watching how to cover defense from Pippen and you'll understand what I mean. Kawhi is the same.
Injuries really robbed us from Kawhi being on the same level as MJ and Lebron. Already had 2 FMVPs at the age of 27! And fs would’ve won in the Bubble if he stayed with the Raptors because PG13% happened.
I’m a bit of causal who only got back until nba last few seasons but been binging on RU-vid…if kawahi never got injured would be in conversations for top 10 all time? Because every time I see him he seems to just be able to do everything
The fact he doesn’t have more rings than he does is a curious thing, and can only be blamed on how injury-prone he seems to be, and leaving Toronto may not have been the best idea, either. If he’d have stayed there and remained more healthy, he may have 5 or so championships and be considered in the top-3 current players and maybe even top 5 or 10 all-time. A true shame
I’m just saying, Kawhi without all the injuries would probably be viewed above KD and maybe even Steph. At least on the same level. The guy can just put a team on his back, he’s automatic from midrange, athletic freak, good handle, and an amazing defender
you see these moments and think to yourself yeah it is probably just careless plays by opponents but then you realise majority of these plays are at either the end of the 4th quarter or even sometimes overtime and then you realise how much of a beast he is
This would make a perfect fit for the Warriors because Everybody's Talkin about how is over for the Warriors and they're talkin about how it's over for Kauai this could be retribution for both The Warriors and for Kauai and approve every talker wrong with talk bad about them both
his stats on the clippers and the spurs are superhuman too .. in the playoffs people don't understand he gets up for the playoffs when Zaza pachulia stepped under him he was destroying prime Curry, and with the Clippers ha had some really good runs agains Durant where he was out matching him untill injury.
This will work because it's so much they have in common and plus people are seeing the Warriors of washed-up choirs washed up in this is going to show that they have something to prove and they are going to come out and it's cute and watch this is going to be a perfect fit I mean that
