Analysis of Kawhi Leonard's game

[Phoenix]

I'm talking about the playoffs dipshit

Kawhi is currently averaging 31ppg off 62%TS with much better defense than 2nd 3 peat MJ

Did you mention playoffs in your first post fukking ass? No you didn't.

[Phoenix]

i still go back to playmaking for him and durant vs other peak wings like I mentioned like kobe, wade, tmac. The second group has an advantage there even though both have gotten better there. ik Kawhi and durant do have advantages over that group however in other facets of the game like shooting however.

Actual playmaking/creation is huge however. No one here views the game this way, myself included but there are arguments that elite playmaking lifts an offense as much as elite scoring.

Correct. Kawhi did show some playmaking potential and better overall passing than he's normally displayed to close out the last series.

Kawhi literally took 20 games rest while MJ at 33-35 was playing like 80 games. Also think Kawhi playing less minutes. He has more energy to play defense and even so Mj defense in 96 and 97 wasn't bad at all.

[superduper]

Kawhi is more slow and deliberate with his moves than MJ to make up for the lack of athleticism, relative to MJ. His reads are methodical. He has absolutely become a threat from anywhere on the floor on offense. Incredible to watch.

His defensive impact shouldn't even need to be mentioned it's so obvious and visible what he does for his team out there. Gets extra possessions constantly and straight up nullifies most if not all people in this league 95% of the time. Seeing the leader of your team maintain that level of defensive consistency elevates everyone else.

not nearly as smooth as MJ but still great

To be fair MJs defense was stellar too

[red1]

he locks down the best player on the other team and carries your offense.


the only description I have for that is GODLY.

[Gougou]

His passing is not too great. Everything else is amazing.

Take off your MJ c*cksucking binoculars for once in your life

Phoenix can't refute this statement

He knows damm well Kawhi is currently playing at a level higher than second 3 peat MJ

MJ stans in denial like always

Awww, lil Manny needs to bump his own post so he can get attention. There, I just gave you 30 seconds. Now go brush your teeth, pack lunch and get ready for school. Unfortunately for you dipshit, I'm actually pretty damn close to stanning Kawhi this playoff run so I'm perfectly fine with the idea that he's playing better than 96-98 playoff MJ in some ways. Much more comfortable than you are watching Lebron move west and miss the playoffs, anyway

To be fair MJs defense was stellar too

Don’t forget he completely shut down Miller for the entire 2nd half after Miller lit up Pippen/the other Bulls during the first. That was during Game 7. If I remember correctly there was only like 2 minutes or less where Jordan wasn’t on him for the rest of the game and Miller was held scoreless

Manny's so fukking stupid he jumped right to the 'bu bu but Kawhi's bettaaa' routine when all I did initially was break down some of their attributes.

In favor of Kawhi:

3point shooting
defense
handle

In favor of 2nd 3peat MJ:

Midrange
Athleticism/fluidity
passing
slashing
post game

I'm waiting for someone to tell me what about that is inaccurate.

[Manny98]

Kawhi wins in the mid-range/free throw shooting department as well

Shot comfortably above 50% from mid range the past two postseasons and 90% from the line

GOAT tier efficiency that Ordan could only dream of having

Kawhi is pretty much the perfect basketball player no wonder Jordan fanboys are shook

MJ was 49% midrange on 1500 attempts in 97. What's Kawhi's volume? Because simply putting down a percentage is meaningless.

Free Throws? Playoffs MJ was 82% on 10 attempts in 96, 83% on 8 attempts in 97. Kawhi this playoffs is 87% on 8 attempts. So he's, what, an extra made free throw better?

Kawhi operates in an easier defensive environment, equating to being able to score more efficiently. Prove me otherwise.

Shook? You're on suicide watch because the Lakers didn't make the playoffs

I'll repeat:

In favor of Kawhi:

3point shooting
defense
handle

In favor of 2nd 3peat MJ:

Midrange
Athleticism/fluidity

Basketball fans appreciate what Kawhi is doing, regardless of how he compares to anyone else. Lil c*ckwanks like you have no clue what you're watching nor have an appreciation for the game in general. You're a Bron stan who exists to idolize him and not have anything else to offer in terms of basketball dialogue. Morning nap is coming, then crayon art 101 is next. Get off your fisher price phone and pay attention in class.

In the playoffs

Kawhi - 51% from midrange off 7 attempts a game

MJ - 45% from midrange off 15 attempts a game

Kawhi - 89% free throw shooter

MJ - 82% free throw shooter

I don't want to hear no bullshit about volume, it's not like Kawhis efficiency is going to magically drop 5% if he attempts a couple more midrange jumpshots

I don't want to hear no shit about it being easier to score in this era either

Their is no actual concrete evidence of it so your wrong

And btw you were the one that started the MJ comparisons in this thread

"Diet coke version of MJ" lol your such a delusional moron
