Where does Kawhi rank amongst all-time great SFs?

Obviously this AS Game MVP doesnt mean a whole lot but it does add to an already prolific resume for Kawhi:
2x Champ
2x Finals MVP
AS Game MVP
2x DPOY
3x All-NBA (2x 1st team and 1x 2nd team)
Where does he rank amongst the likes of LBJ, Bird, Durant, Pippen, Dr. J, etc?

4th behind LBJ, Bird, and Durant.
I don't think he can pass any of them.

About on par with Brandon Ingram

If you're weighing Dr. J's aba accomplishments he should be ahead as well. Multiple time mvp and playoffs mvp along with being a champion

add Elgin Baylor to that list, KL would be 7th behind the other 6

LBJ the GOAT
BIRD the basketball Jesus
DRJ the first of his kind
Durant the best of his kind
Baylor longevity with production and we don’t have Dr J without Baylor
Kawhi defensive God
Pippen Swiss Army knife
Hondo the first truly versatile player that gave us pippen
Giannis rising quickly, not sure he is really a SF though
Dantley
Wilkins
McGrady
Kawhi’s defensive ability puts him top six but he can pass Baylor
Don’t think he can pass any of the others though, he is getting too old
Doubt he ever wins a League MVP

Id have him behind Lebron, Bird, Durant. It gets iffy beyond that.

Durant career average 25.2 PER.
Kawhi: 22.9
It ain’t he end all or be all, but cmon.

Kawhi had a lot of nights he didn’t score much
Durant always had to score a ton
Durant can also guard five positions
Even kawhi can’t do that

Being able to defend 5 doesn't mean he can defend them well. Leonard defending one position is light years better than Durant guarding 5.
Durant's the better player, so far, but his defense isn't what makes him so
Leonard can't catch LeBron or Bird and personally I think Pippen was better but he can catch Durant. What has Durant won as the leader of a team? When close go with winning and Leonard is a better winner than Durant.

Out of the top 5. He is a special talent, but not a leader. Just a hired gun, looking to make money and play when he wants. He sat out a year with an injury nobody can really describe that mysteriously flares up when he wants a few days off. The projection is he misses 15-20 games a year minus any additional injuries just for load management for the rest of his career.
Just for comparison, this is Leonard's 9th season and he has never played over 74 games in a season (only two out of 9 over 70 games). In Bird's first 9 seasons, he never played under 74 games..

Agreed.

His D is better than everyone on that list, except for maybe Pippen, who he most closely resembles.
Durant will always be the better scorer and Kawhi will always be the more rounded player.

Imagine if the Lakers would’ve signed Kawhi. They would be silly good as if they aren’t already.

If Kawhi wins a title for the Clips hes the greatest of all time
