'19 KD/Kawhi or '98 Jordan

[StrongLurk]

Would you take KD and or Kawhi from this past year over 98 Jordan? I would take both honestly.

[Carbine]

98 Jordan was less efficient and all the numbers probably say the other two were better but Id still take Mike Jordan. I want him on my team when it counts.

[Indian guy]

Statistically it's really not that close. And I recently binged MJ's entire '98 playoff run. He had declined quite a bit from the prior 2 seasons.

KD and Kawhi comfortably.

[Carbine]

He didn't decline as an offensive player. He shot better and scored more in '98 playoffs than previous two runs.

Unless you think his defense was heavily declined from the previous two years (I don't) than that's not really an accurate statement to make.

He LOOKED his best in the first title run physically of the last three peat, but he was not a worse player in '98 I don't think. He just had to rely on a little more skill and smarts to drop his 32 a game in the playoffs.

I might take Kd over him not so sure about Kawhi. He was still carrying a considerable load in 98 I don't think Leonard has carried yet.

KD only had to carry the load of a 73 win team

Kawhi's burden was nowhere near MJ's at any point in the season, especially in the 4th...

Nobody's burden matched MJ's.. None of you understand how much better MJ is than everyone... Btw, MJ's burden blows KD's away, at ANY point in his career, let alone on his super-team Warriors

Kd is one of the greatest scorers to ever live and he can carry a team any night it needs be done. Have we really seen that from Kawhi just yet? I don't think so.

Kawhi > KD

He can punish defenders in the paint and Durant can't... Plus better D

His advantage on defense is similar to KD's advantage on offense.

[3ball]

His advantage on defense is similar to KD's advantage on offense.

KD is inferior offensively... He can't carry an offense like kawhi because he can't physically overpower... And his post game is weaker - an underachieving turnaround

The warriors were perfect for KD so he could take easy jumpers all day and not carry shit

But we'll agree to disagree...

About to post 17' Durant, 19' Kawhi and 98' Jordan's percentage of team points scored....

[sdot_thadon]

KD is inferior offensively...

didn't need to read a single word beyond that. Retirement hasn't done you so well bro.

No one is close to MJ's burden... And Durant can't carry a team like kawhi or Jordan... Lacks the necessary physical dominance, so the warriors were perfect for him

It's funny you guys think you know about basketball
