In playoffs:
31.4 PPG
8.4 RPG
3.6 APG
51% from field
41% from 3
88% from FT

Along with being one of the best defenders in the league. He shut down Giannis in the 4th last night.

A lot up the air regarding Kawhi's future, but it's not crazy to say that he is the best player in the NBA, and is looking good for an MVP run next season.

It's not crazy to say he is.

Giannis is growing every year, though. Steph and KD will get the ring. Kawhi has a good argument, but it's a competitive scene.

Giannis not deserving of discussion until he learns to shoot

I picked TOR to win the east both before the season started AND at the start of the playoffs. I know exactly how good kawhi/TOR is. They aren’t good enough to even make GOAT sweat.

his playmaking, which generally pales in comparison to LeBron James’s or even Kevin Durant’s. (Both contemporaries regularly enjoy 2-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratios, while Leonard has yet to post such a season.) Leonard, who had five assists and seven turnovers Sunday, has closer to a 1-to-1 ratio this postseason, with 31 assists and 29 turnovers so far. Going one level deeper, Kawhi was the NBA’s least efficient wing player 1 this past regular season when opposing defenses either blitzed or trapped him in pick-and-rolls, with the Raptors scoring just 0.46 points per chance in such situations, according to data from Second Spectrum.. Playmaking is subpar

You also picked Houston to beat Golden State multiple times this year, faked multiple vacations, and have yet to pay your debts you candy arse bitch.

Matter of fact, your cuck arse isn’t even suppose to be back at all.

He would be if he played more games. Kawhi has had only one season in his career when he missed fewer than 10 regular season games. For comparison's sake, Harden has averaged 78 games a season over the past seven years, LeBron has only missed seven games a season over his entire career and KD has missed more than 10 games only three times during his career.

I think he's a close 2nd behind KD. I think LeBron is 3 coming into next season...

KD
Kawhi
LeBron
Curry
Giannis

Hard for me to consider Greek Freak because he is not much of a shooter.

Seems to me like Kawhi's shooting has gotten progressively better.
