When's Kawhi gonna start showing why he was FMVP?

[Magic 32]

He's like LeBron - he coasts in the regular season and turns it up in the playoffs.

Lebron has yet to win when he "coasts".

He should talk to Kobe about that (09/10). He can thank him for the 2 MVP's at the same time.

Yes Kobe shooting 6 for 24 in game 7 and Lakers still winning, coasting at its best. Almost as if he wasn't that important

Every perimeter player shot poorly that game. The defense was crazy. Obviously you look at box scores, or if you don't, have no clue what you're watching

[Ruler]

He is absolutely living up to his hype. His net rating is something like +11 when he's on the court.
He's the best perimeter defender in the league.
Best rebounding small forward in the league.
Best small forward at playing passing lanes and getting on ball steals
Coast to coast threat
Spaces the floor for teammates
Draws double teams
Shuts down the other teams' best player

He's just as good if not better than last years Paul George. He's not their number one scoring option so he doesn't get the same PPG. Only area George has the advantage in (and just barely) is passing. However, Kawhi doesn't need to be a flashy passer. He posts up and finds the open man.
Since he came back from his hand injury, he's averaging something like 16 PPG, 10 RPG, 3 APG, 2.5 SPG. You tell me that isn't good for a number 2 or 3 option on the defending championship team.

Wow bold talk!!

[Paul George 24]

He got hot in the finals and still only averaged 18, 6 and 2... Spurs have lots of good players, no top ten players so thats why he won FMVP. Winning FMVP does't automatically mean you're a superstar, or have top ten production.

People act like he was a defensive god in the finals... Lebron averaged 28, 8 and 4 on 57% from the field and 52% from 3, he hardly shut him down.

post facts to prove your point. it must not be hard given that quarter-wise breakdown is given plus play-by-play. a playoff game is only over if the other team is leading by 25 with 7 mins to go and so on.

[Bigsmoke]

16/8/2 is pretty damn good

[They Won]

Didn't he only recently come back from a lengthy injury? Give him time.

Weird enough, everybody was clowning him for not playing in the final 5 minutes in game 5 even the fact that the Heat were down by 16 points.

Can some of y'all just admit that y'all don't like him instead of cherry picking everything?
