How does Kawhi's current playoff run stack up against MJ's

[3ball]

Kawhi has you shook

Not at all - I like kawhi a lot and hope he wins it all this year.. I respect his game and skills

Even if he only gets by this philly team but loses to Giannis - that would prove MJ would win the ring this year

Because MJ is a lot better than Kawhi and never played with teammates as good as these raptors - they have pippen, I mean Siakam, plus a perennial all-star PG, plus better role players than MJ ever had

These are facts

So MJ would win easily and be FAVORED to do so - they'd flirt with 70 wins in RS for sure.. kawhi's a good leader, but MJ was in another dimension.. he'd play all 82, that's for sure

MJ would be DeRozan in this era.


Kawhi is way better.


You’re a delusional fool living in the past.

Plus 5-time all-star Lowry (all-nba in 16' and 46% HOF probability)

Times must be hard when you have to hype up Lowry

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

So far, up there with second 3-peat Jordan.

I wouldnt put him in that 1991-93 tier though. Not yet at least. That Jordan was a better playmaker and scorer than Kawhi, handily.

DeRozan doesn't compare to Clyde, let alone MJ..

See, now ur getting crushed itt - get your head out of your ass and stop being delusional

Btw, MJ's comp was otherworldly - Drexler destroys DeRozan...

I said IN. THIS. ERA.


It’s much tougher nowadays, grocery baggers don’t make the league anymore. Drexler today would be Patrick McCaw.

Kawhi is dropping 38 per game now, but won FMVP with 17 in 2014 (24 when he got cooking in games 3-5)

That's an indication of the change in era and how much easier it is to score now

And that was just 5 years ago, let alone the clogged paints of the 90's

Just based on eye test, I think 96-98' MJ was much better than Kawhi and would have better numbers than him.. MJ was far quicker with much quicker reflexes, and his mid-range jumper and repertoire was a couple levels up from Kawhi.. just an entirely better player - similar footwork sometimes, but far more graceful, skilled, quick and better instincts..

Earlier today I was watching the 95' ecsf that MJ lost, and Shaq was just standing in the paint for entire possessions along with other players - the paint was largely sealed and it took a great move to get in there, otherwise it was all jumpers - and super tough contested jumpers that Kawhi doesn't have to take

Just night and day different defenses.. a different sport basically.. it would really be something to see MJ in today's game with all that space.. 50 point games would occur with considerable regularity

Does Mike get Pippen in modern era or is he reduced back to 1-9 size

[SpaceJam]

Siakam > 88-90' Pippen easily

Plus 5-time all-star Lowry (all-nba in 16' and 46% HOF probability)

Plus a bunch of other guys that were better than what mj had, like 3x all-defense and 2x block champ ibaka, gasol, among others

MJ would easily win the ring with this squad, and be FAVORED to do so - they'd flirt with 70 wins in RS

Let me know when Kawhi can jog up to the FT line and double-pump
.

Imagine trying to be taken seriously when you say shit like this

LMAO god damnit that killed me.

As for OP, this should come as no surprise. He was nearly as dominant in his last playoff run before he got injured against GS...

28/8/5 on 53/46/93 splits Was well on his way to dropping 40 in GS en route to a blowout win before he went down too.

This was inevitable, especially against the East.
