Nah, y’all were right. KD is better than Kawhi. KD was just nails in his teams close out game compared to Kawhi in game 7

MAD respect for what Kawhi’s doing this playoffs, still don’t think he’s more clutch than Kobe, stats may indicate he is or whatever but being clutch is more than stats, it’s moments, it’s an attitude, it’s an approach, it’s context, it’s willingness. KLaw did a lot to advance his case tonight not gonna go over the ledge and proclaim him the most clutch of all-time but that was good, damn.

Lol and Boom called me a homer for saying Marc Gasol has been disappointing for Toronto.

I mean over his last 3 seasons in the playoffs (33 games, excluding tonight’s game), Kawhi’s averaging a PER of 30.4, WS/48 0.300, and BPM of 10.7. Durant’s career best for a single season in the playoffs are 27.5, 0.280, and 8.7.

All irrelevant if one misses the vast majority of the clutch shots he takes, and makes far less than other players.

Attitudes don’t make shots, and a missed clutch shots by a player with a certain attitude, is a less clutch shot than one that is made by a player with a different attitude.

Why don’t you put points, rebounds and assists like a normal person?

I have put Leonard #2 behind Lebron in the past and I have been criticized for it. I have used that he was elite on both ends of the floor to support it. .

Just going off the Kawhi/Kobe debate per Max Kellerman, my man

quote:

stats may indicate he is or whatever but being clutch is more than stats


quote:

But they sure do show up in the stats.


Like when Kawhi decided to BE A WEAKLING BITCH last season and TANK THE SPURS' SEASON despite BEING CLEARED BY TEAM DOCTORS, then he allows his uncle to go all Lavar Ball on everybody and basically forces the Spurs to trade him despite being eligible for the supermax. You can spin it all you want to, that's a huge black stain on his legacy and represents who he is when it comes to leadership and ensuring everyone falls in line, it basically rendered him a babyback bitch, which is worse than "clutch stats." Holy shite, at least when Kobe pulled that nonsense during the 2004 season the Lakers still made the Finals lol.

Oh it's definitely relevant when one tanks his team's season with his injury bullshite then decides to force his way out of one of the best franchises in all of sports but we'll dismiss clearly relevant stuff so we can unfairly attempt to win an argument.

quote:

Attitudes don’t make shots


But it instills confidence in everyone on his side and fear in the opponent plus it displays a willingness that renders that particular person unstoppable regardless of outcome

quote:

and a missed clutch shots by a player with a certain attitude


Ain't nothing like Mamba Mentality, homes, unless we talking Larry Bird/Michael Jordan shite now that stuff is DEADLY scary

quote:

Beauty's in the eye of the beholder despite that KAWHI'S A BITCH but I'm starting to warm up to his clutchness, he keeps this up my mind might change but I dig that Mamba Mentality, mayne

Shouldn’t the best player score more than 2 points in the fourth quarter?

You talking about KD who has scored zero in his teams last two 4th qtrs? And his team still comfortably won both game

Or Giannis who scored 3 in the 4th qtr last night and 24 overall? And his team still won

Or Kawhi who scored 2 in the 4th and 31 overall and his team lost because he is team?

Don’t bring shite into my house not prepared son. You will take Ls

I never accused Giannas of being the best player.

But if

Is a valid point then

quote:

Giannis who scored 3 in the 4th qtr


Well. 3 is more than 2

That’s a lot of words to say you’re too biased when it comes to Kobe to use actual relevant and measurable data to evaluate him unless it confirms your bias.
