I appreciate the fact that you made a video about the clippers when they don’t suck. All of NBA RU-vid hasn’t said a word about the clippers except when they were terrible at the beginning of the James Harden trade. I’m not a clippers fan, but it’s so annoying that there’s 100 videos out now about Draymond Green being an idiot and they’ve completely ignored the clippers because there is a drama. Because they’re winning.
Not a Clippers fan, but a month ago. It was all about James Harden ruining the clippers and now they haven’t said a word. I appreciate you’re still talking about teams that aren’t just drama.
What is this? You guys aren't aware that all this Clippers team is good for is Harden and Dressbrick schadenfreude? Clips gon' Clip. The only thing interesting about the Clips are the downfall of Harden and Dressbrick.
Kawhi Leonard is really one of the best. I started rooting to the Clippers because of him. I hope he never get injured anymore, because it's a criminal to lost him.
I am by no means a Clippers fan like at all….. 😂 although Kawhi my favorite player. Now he got me still a Spurs fan but I’m actually rooting for the Clippers just this year. It’s inevitable, Kawhi strikes every 5 years, it’s time. 😂2014-2019-2024 Kawhi 💪🏽 🏆
The only player i miss on the playoffs, when he retire i don't know if i'll still watch basketball, he's so unique on his approach as a superstar on the league, some players start to act like artists when they reach a certain level, he just dominates and mind his own business, i enjoy his serenity
You forgot to mention that he almost never gets in foul trouble, he usually has or 1 or 2 personal fouls in the latest games he played. He's just so efficient at everything, the Popovich school training.
I already knew this about kawhi for years, when he’s healthy he’s the best player in the nba hands down the mf explodes in the playoffs and can’t be stopped by no one Only injuries stop him
I'm 6'8 former D1 Player at Illinois State University....This man is.liegit. Defender and scorer. Wow. I'm 62 years young. We played bully ball back in the day. I love his mentality and his approach to the game. He lets the game come to him. And, very rarely does he make stupid decisions with the basketball. He runs the floor and moves without the ball to create opportunities to score. Young cars should emulate his game............solid dude.
He was a King in Toronto and easily the most popular players in the league. I'll always appreciate what he did for the team and city, but oh man he should've stayed
I ain't gon lie. I'm a Spurs fan and I was so hurt when he got traded for Dmar. Everybody saying it was a good trade. I was like " HELL NAH! lol. Offensively. Somewhat but nobody can replace his defensive presence. I basically became a fan wherever Kawhi went. Im a Spurs fan for life but I became a Raptors fan, now I'm a Clippers fan 😅. He was our Micheal Jordan 😊
Petty move by popovich. He could’ve got Ingram for him but didn’t want to send Kawhi where he actually wanted to go. Worked out in the end though since they got wemby.
Kawhi is a much more interesting player. He can shoot 3 pointer, he’s one of the best defenders, played well mid range, layup, dunk and sometimes unexpected shots. Beautiful dribble, handling and so on. Unlike how most hyped Curry always shooting just the 3s mostly and running around, and call himself the best.
I’m glad you’re showing how much of an impact and an incredible player Kawhi is. The league was clowning on Clippers for being injury prone and Harden being a clown, but they literally clapped some of the best in the league already. Takes time for a team to build synergy and understand how to become proficient for their role.
That injury against Golden State when he was with the Spurs probably took around 15-20% of his highest ceiling. Kawhi would have at least 2 more chips now if that didn't happen. We would've seen the second coming of Jordan or very close to it. Jordan would be better offensively(quicker, higher vert) but I give the edge to Kawhi on defence(stronger, longer arms).
@@T1OracleYou watched highlights... People who lived through the Jordan era ALL agree Kawhi form is the CLOSEST to Mj.... I HATE when KIDS try to tell ADULTS about what they lived through as if watching videos and documentaries could compare to living in the moment.....🤔
Zaza Pachulia ,, did that on purpose it was a Dirty Play and it's why Popovich was so Irate , caused Kawhi Leonard and the Spurs a Championship 🏆 , that title for the for the warriors should have asterisk ✳️ .........
Kawhi when healthy is a top 3 player in the world. It’s good to see him in good health this year. If he can sigh healthy through the duration of the playoffs there’s no doubt in my mind the Clippers will at least make the WCF.
@@blas_de_lezo7375 wrong kawhi has to be even if not granted healthy, cause you get the same place with healthy shae and unhealthy klaw not winning anything. Cuz shae not won shit yet hes been healthy
As a clipper fan since 06 with Elton brand after 4 years since we got kawhi it finally hit me that kawhi is on the clippers. And that’s simply because he’s been healthy. What a treat what a treat to watch him play reminds me of Kobe
before· i was a fan of kobe, but now i am a fan of kawai, because in the league it is rarely seen that a player play great like kawhi in both ends, offense and defence, especially his defence is really underated. if you watch his game, his defence is really amazing
the characteristics of Kawhi is like Jordan whenever hes has the ball it's a sure ball to score and can always find ways how hard the defense put to him
To me it's a similar effect as with Kevin Durant in that his ability is kind of taken for granted. Also: I think he still can be the best defensive player in the league on ball still. He is just kind of turning it off and on and is not always 100% engaged on defense. But when he IS turning it on you can see it.
I think Kawhi is greater than KD. Though I will give it to KD. Kawhi has a winning record against every team in the NBA, as well as every other all star, Kawhi has a positive record against them all. Only KD has a positive record against Kawhi. Yes that means a lot, Kawhi is a winner, he is also 3rd best winning percentage all time. Only Magic and Bird above him, just facts do research. NBA has all these stats you can look up. Kawhi just a baller and a winner 🧐 💯
@@SeanDiego Bro you don’t know basketball and I ain’t gonna argue with ignorance. 2019 Toronto run and after this season maybe you will realize. You can look up the stats and watch all the games but you won’t. You will just ignorantly argue. You are absolutely right, Spurs were a big part of his record, they made him the player he is today. Though since he’s left he’s been doing it on his own, without The Spurs. Kawhi is still winning, and as long as he can stay away from injury he’s gonna win the chip. I mean really, who is finna stop him?? 😂 😆 Nobody in the NBA “single handedily” does anything themselves, though you still gotta give a player their respect when they’re as great as Kawhi.
I hope we get to see a video like this on Klay this year... one last heroic burst before burning out. I hate when injuries deprive us from enjoying great talent. Penny, Grant Hill, Cousins, Klay and so many others.
I can't stand how people disrespect Kawhi is he injury prone 1000% but they never want to acknowledge that when he's health he's literally arguably the best player in the world depending on what you value and no lower than top 5
I honestly thought Kawhi was getting old because there hasn't been much reported on him/clippers except for people ragging on them for injuries - which honestly I was buying into. Thanks for this update!
honestly ive been wanting the clippers to win a ring the last couple of years already and i really wish they dont get injured and have a fair chance and get it done. That clippers team getting a ring would mean a lot to a lot of their players and even the franchise itself, it would be the first championship that the clippers franchise, paul george, james harden, russel westbrook are all players that would love a championship on their resume to basically guarantee their hof entry, Kawhi getting a ring where people cannot say you would have lost if kd and klay werent injured would also help his case as one of the best small forwards of all time.
I do agree with most of the things you said except for the playmaking. There's still a lot of situations where he forces isos when he had a window to set a wide open teammate. But the Clippers' offense is finding its flow so all of these things are coming naturally game after game.
I was doubtful that Harden would gel with the Clippers....so far it looks like they are finding their stride quite nicely! They are impressive....they are also a bit long in the tooth and it's a very long season...but man they are looking great! But Denver's bench is so deep and talented and the remainder of their season going to be quite easier than thus far, which was long road trip and games against tough teams. Denver is still the team to beat in the West.
@@milosjovicevic6083facts and if Julius strawther is hitting 3s they look unstoppable pwat is so underrated I love watching him hustle and play defense for us
Glad you mentioned the playmaking, we saw flashes last year but his reads this year are so much better. There's even been a couple of times I was surprised the stat sheet hadn't counted a couple more assists. If there was no Harden and Kawhi were handling the ball more, he could easily be up at 6 assists a game, which is something you'd never have expected 4 years ago. It's helping with the sharing-the-ball thing so much and just makes the whole team so much harder to guard, I love how he doesn't force anything. Like he's happy to let the game come to him, if he doesn't shoot for most of a quarter that's fine, he'll get the defense into rotation and then pass it off. If the Clippers can get PG to stop settling for tough shots all the time, this team will be unbelievable. I love PG, such a beautiful game but there's a reason that despite being a great 3pt shooter, he's never crested 60% TS, he takes a few too many and too many of his other shots are really difficult. When he has it going, he's one of the most unstoppable scorers in the league. He's shooting almost half of his shots from 3 this season, he's not Steph and he's not a 3 and D guy. He needs some of those 3s to change to shots near the basket. Zubac has been fantastic, he's steadily improved every year of his career and defensively this year, he's at another level. No one seems to be talking about it. He's weaponising his own lack of switchability, knows exactly how to play drop/high drop, knowing how to recover and swat shots from behind. He's of course also scoring very efficiently. Theis has been a great pickup, plays bigger than he is, more switchable which is scary with Kawhi and PG, and he can shoot the 3 ball. T Mann has come alive the past few games, scoring more confidently and being a fantastic connector. Russ has thankfully, not gotten sour on the bench, and remains a phenomenal energiser. His defensive play still seems lively and effective, he's rebounding like crazy and passing quite well he's at almost 10 rebounds and 7 assists per 36. Norm Powell, what can you say, he's so much fun. Really underrated athlete, he's probably ultimately a starter calibre player. He's at 18 pts per 36 on almost 50, 40, 90 splits. And that's with 6 3s attempted per 36. He's at 63 TS%. I get why people were critical about the Harden trade but honestly, the obvious hatred for the Clippers is frustrating. I don't have any loyalty to a team but I think it's pathetic to see the bias at work. Even at the start of the season, everyone was so confident about the Lakers with a 39 y/o Bron and a player at least as injury-prone as Kawhi or PG in AD. After that, who do they have, they don't even have another all-star. But everyone loves the Lakers so they'll be great. The Clippers have multiple all-startish players, an All-NBA standard guy in PG and an MVP calibre player in Kawhi. How does that not seem like a contender? The Lakers are good as expected, I just don't get the obvious bias.
He is all charged up and I feel like he is like Jordan to me in perspective of I don't think he will lose a finals, and makes me think if he was always healthy
It's also really good for Kawhi since they have a PG who fits Kawhi's style much better. Harden commanding automatic double teams whenever he has the ball and when he's doing high screens collapses opponents defenses and gives Kawhi so much room to get the ball and go to his spots for easy points. I feel like the injury narrative around the team before was because it was always Kawhi and PG having to bring up the ball and do everything.
Kawhi leonard is the best player in the nba since years when he is healthy. People do not realise this because he doesnt score 40 every game or average a tripple double but real basketball fans know that his efficiency and his deffense is exeptional.
Kawhi Leonard is the best 2 way player in the NBA. He makes everything look easy, he's smooth, never panics and he's an athlete. He may go under the radar these days as everybody will say he will get injured. But he's not flashy enough for the media. Kawhi won't do flashy dunks. He's just efficient and very effective which is all you need.
I'm really disappointed about media's. They were all over the place on harden ass and kawhi injuries prone narrative and now when they are playing well there aren't any huge media highlights on this... That's a shame.
It's because the whole media are LeFraud/Lakers slaves, they'll always blow up anything negative related to the Clippers who have been better than them for over a decade.
I have been a fan of Kawhi since his time with Spurs, I think he is the best 2 way player ever of all time. He was an nba defensive player of the season at some point, and his game has improved in the offensive end tremendously.
Bro I been waiting 2 years for u to do new clipper vid. I dug ur couple vids when clips knocked jazz Out and PG almost sent Suns home in 2021. Shit that’s a long time. Thanks for new vid U gonna get a chance to do new vids when we win the 🛳️ this year
It's crazy it's been that long lol, appreciate you sticking around. Yeh gonna try and be more consistent this year so if the Clippers are good then ill definitely talk about them again
Right on brutha Keep up the good work I have seen u have blown up but man I watched them clipper vids a few times. We got some more juice in the bottle for u Will be looking out. Be well brutha Thanks
He's a top 10 player when he's healthy, but he has to be healthy. If he stays healthy, the Clippers can be a force in the West and Kawhi has proven he can lead a team to the finals. They definitely have a good shot with a full roster to go all the way
Only people who ACTUALLY watch him play see the impact he has. People Fr think he can’t go out here and get 30 every game. He’s never been a stats guy just wants to win ball games. Kawhi ain’t never been lower than the 5th seed in his entire career💀
i jus hope kawhi stays healthy for the rest of the season, he's my fave player no matter what haters says to him about being a load management since he goes to the Clips. I just love kawhi's playing style he inspires me to practice mid-range jumpers and he's a humble player.
i never agreed on kawhis greatness before but watching him play made him a favorite of mine. he plays with nothing extra/flash but only the required to execute. not a freak athlete like lebron/giannis but he has a capable physique that is maximized by his complete set of skills and top notch judgement and reaction in situations
Kawhi singlehandedly won the championship title for Toronto 2019. He was the only star on that team. The guy is one of the very best out there. Pure class. Can watch him play all day long.
