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 :wow:

i'd say maybe Scottie Pippen (7'2 wingspan, 6'9 height) but even thats a stretch


KD is a monster a single minded scoring machine


and when he had a complete team where he did not have to worry about other things he was hard as hell to stop

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?

Doug Christie wasn’t locking up shyt breh. He got cooked by every Elite scorer. I’m still tryna to figure how that nikka made 4 all defensive teams.

Kawhi is at least a top 4 perimeter defender of all time. Man got more steals than fouls. He got 2 Dpoy. His metrics are brazy...

Only perimeter players even seeing him are Pip MJ and the glove. I wouldn’t even be mad if someone said he was the GOAT perimeter defender :mjlol::yeshrug:

You'd have to be able to handcheck him.

Stop it. Kawhi is ragdolling that skinny nikka and he has no shot without Big Ben and other good defenders helping. :russell:

Nah he would play right into Tay's strength

Tay's kryptonite was an ELITE Speed AND power combo, neither of which Kawhi has. Cats like Bron and Giannis would be the ones to give Tay maximum problems (Bron actually did)

Evidently Andre Iguodala, Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green & Klay Thompson gave him problems

Kawhi found out, as every great 2 way player finds out when they become THEE #1 option offensively, that your defense suffers once you're counted on to produce more offensively.

We all said that was gonna happen after the 2016 season. He hasn't been the same defender night in and night out since then
