Is Kawhi Leonard the best all-around player in the NBA?

He is an elite defender
He is an elite finisher around the rim
He is an elite mid-range/3pt shooter
He has close to elite handles for a SF
He has elite basketball IQ (including passing)
IMO this is the equivalent to being a 5-tool player in baseball and Kawhi is the only player in the NBA (somewhat not named Lebron) that is at this level.
With that said, Lebron wishes he could shoot midrange/3pts like Kawhi and with that fact, Kawhi is the best 5-tool NBA player.
Thoughts?

No. LeBron still is. I would put Draymond up there with Leonard.

I'd go for sure:
Steph
Bron
KD
But then I could see someone easily making a case to include him right after them. I'd probably have CP3 as 4. Feels weird that I would have 100% put AD in that top 5 before this past season.
I don't think he is a top 10 per se, but damn is it not hard to throw Draymond around that area because of everything he provides. Absolutely perfect piece for today's NBA.

Hard to argue with that but I rather kawhi than Westbrook
AD also gets the benefit of the doubt because he plays in a shithole

Is this thread necessary after every Spurs game?

Lebron--completely fair..he is the most dominant player in the NBA
Durant--could be argued, but Kawhi is better all-around. Kawhi would do what Durant does on the thunder and he would also set up other players and play defense better imo.
Westbrook--nope
AD--as a religious Pels fan, no way in hell.

Are the Thunder better or worse if you swap KD and Kawhi? How about the Spurs? I feel like the Spurs are even better with KD and the Thunder drop off a bit. That is sort of my reasoning.
