"Kawhi is better under pressure than Kobe" - Max Kellerman

[Manny98]

So why did Kawhi extensively study MJs game?

Please educate me oh '98 one.

Ask him

Kawhi is MJ 2.0 he has all the moves MJ had + a better 3 point shot and better defense

He's like the real life version of Kise from Kuroko no basket

[3ball]

.
Kawhi is probably the best or 2nd best player with Giannis, but Kawhi lacks next level stuff that MJ had

[Manny98]

^ nope Kawhi can do everything that MJ could do

Where's the hangtime; where's the posters over 3 guys; where's the shot-making ability

Where’s MJ’s 3 point shot?

[3ball]

Where’s MJ’s 3 point shot?

MJ attempted less than 1.5 threes per game except for 90' and 93' where he took 3+ attempts and shot 37.6% and 35.2%

So anytime he tried - he was good

And anytime it mattered - like the 91-93' Finals (43% on 3.3 attempts) and 35.2% in 85-93'playoffs on 2.2 attempts

And that's with barely trying - whereas threes are the primary thing today's players practice...

Ultimately, MJ's elite FT shooting, goat form and goat midrange touch would make him a top 3-point shooter today with the same practice that today's player gets

Why was he too stupid to “try” more often?

Why was he too stupid to “try” more often?

People preferred real basketball back then (the infinite ways to score 2-pointers), as opposed to today's same ol' same ol' (drive-and-kick for threes; 3-point shooting contest)

Silver ruined it by changing the rules too much to favor penetration, thus making kickouts for threes the mathematically correct thing to do

Kawhi is currently having a better playoff series vs the 76ers than Jordan had against anyone

Inferior hangtime to MJ:






And his midrange jumpshot capability doesn't compare:

Kawhi is currently having a better playoff series vs the 76ers than Jordan had against anyone

MJ averaged 45 on 60% in a series

And 43 on 55% in another

And Kawhi is also only 4 games into the series - MJ had numerous 45-50 ppg stretches in the playoffs.. i.e. he was 48/10/6 in games 2-4 of 93' Finals

Kawhi is carrying a bigger load. He is required to be the best on defense and offense. Meanwhile Jordan had Pippen to take the defensive burden

Yeah this is a load of BS.


The fact is MJ had a few years of decent success with the 3 and then reverted back to not practicing them enough because he was extremely low IQ. If he was smart like LeGenius he’d have kept at it.
