Who on that list was better on D than Kawhi?
Doug Christie
And MJ and Pip were in their late 30s when they faced off against Kobe nowhere near their peak

In a spurs uniform only KD and Bron could get consistent numbers on the dude and it was more of a win some lose some when he was guarding them 1 on 1...
Harden could get numbers but he was grossly inefficient in getting them...
Not really fair to compare his defense in his spurs days to his raptors and clippers days cause he don't give near the effort he did on the spurs...
And even with not trying as much dude is still one of the best defenders in the nba...just not easily the outright best defender in the league and its not even close like he was on the spurs

Paul Pierce
I know that's your gimmick and all but come on
Paul Pierce vs. Kawhi Leonard | Basketball-Reference.com
They've faced each other 5 times only. The highest amount of points Pierce scored against Kawhi was 15.
Well, guess PP was already a dinosaur when Klaw entered the league.

DOUG CHRITSTIE IS FUNNY?
DUDE WAS AN ELITE DEFENDER WIT MULTIPLE ALL-DEFENSE TEAMS. THE FUCC U LAUGHIN AT?
IS KAWHI THE GOAT PERIMETER DEFENDER IN YOUR BOOK?

Tayshaun would lock Kawhi's robotic movements all of the way up

R.I.P. Kobe and Nip, that’s off the rip
i wonder which defender, any era, really could give KD any trouble, breh is a 7 footer with a jumpshot like butter and a variety of moves
i'd say maybe Scottie Pippen (7'2 wingspan, 6'9 height) but even thats a stretch
