The dumbest opinion of the year is Barkley saying Leonard is best player

[tmacattack33]

Barkley saying Kawhi Leonard was the best player multiple times over the past few months is one of the most embarrassing things I've ever heard an "expert" say.

It was funny two months ago, but over the past two weeks it's gotten even more hilarious, as Curry has cemented this season as a top 10 regular season ever, and Durant, Lebron, Westbrook, and Anthony Davis have been playing very good as well.

Furthermore, about a week ago, the Spurs improved to 4-1 without Kawhi. Meanwhile, last night, OKC couldn't even handle 5 minutes without Durant, and today Cleveland looks like a lottery team without Lebron.

Barkley is just dumb period.

He is not elite offensively.

He leads the league in 3P%, is one of the best post players in the league and could possibly end up in the 50/40/90 club after this season. Tell me more how he is not elite.

More of his shots are created by others than basically any other all-star.

This can be further seen by the fact that he averages only 2.5 assists himself. He does not create much on offense, for a star. He is the recipient of the creators on his team.

Korver also had great percentages last season and he wasn't elite. 20.5 ppg with 2.4 apg is not elite.

I don't agree with Barkley, but it's one of those where I don't feel a need to call him out.

Kawhi is one of the best players in the league..and excels at both ends of the court.

Someone wants to say he's better than Curry? Go ahead.

%Assisted on 2PA compared to other elite offensive players:
Kawhi Leonard: .460
Stephen Curry: .388
Kevin Durant: .520
LeBron James: .361

It's another story in terms of 3PA, but Kawhi only takes about 3 a game.

Really, Korver? Korver did not else but spotting up. Kawhi on the other hand ranks in the 94th percentile on post ups. 21 points per game on only 14 shots is not elite?

Nope. When he starts to dominate the games offensively like Durant, Curry, Lebron, then he will be elite.
