    Maybe you should take this advice on board when you try defend Kobe on your Jabbar account.

    .
    At their respective positions, Curry ranks in the middle of the pack defensively, whereas Kawhi ranks at/near the top on BOTH sides of the ball.

    Popovich said Kawhi aspires to a goat standard for two-way play:


    "(Kawhi) has the ability to do what a Michael Jordan did at both ends, and I don’t mean he’s Michael Jordan,” Popovich said. “But you think about the best players in the league, they’re not two-way players. He wants to do that.”

    Leonard has better defense obviously but the offensive gap between the two are greater than their difference defensively.

    A question to ask is which player would more teams want for one season? Leonard or Curry? (Answer is Curry as well)

    I may have to agree.. Cuz Curry offensively is just head and shoulders above everyone else..

    Curry is a phenomenal defender, he should be in the running for DPOY

    I think Kawhi might surpass Durant soon as the second best player in the league. I hope Durant can pull himself together

    Curry is such a dominant offensive force that overall he is the better player than Leonard and also overall the best in the NBA.
    Probably the best comment in this entire thread so far

    1. Lebron
    2. Davis
    3. Kawhi
    4. Green
    5. George

    Curry is not even anywhere close to being the best two way player in his own team... Green... Klay... Iguodala... Barnes perhaps... hard to be a two way player of that magnitude as a PG anyways, it starts with Chris Paul...
