I remember watching the finals everybody was like why isn’t Leonard guarding Curry. Then I see him hit a couple of shots getting anything he wanted and was like oh
I see why

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
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
He beat him in the playoffs often but Tony Allen played better defense on KD than any other player in his career.
Not really...only nikka that I guess really put it on Kawhi in 10 years is prob KD. That’s some amazing shyt.
unless u got somebody else![]()
It’s basketball everyone gets lit up
Bron was still better than him in the 14 finals, the disparity between the teams was just too much
Stop it. Kawhi is ragdolling that skinny nikka and he has no shot without Big Ben and other good defenders helping.![]()
Kawhi shot 65% from the field when Bron was guarding him
He was fukking DeAndre Jordan hahaha
Lebron had more to do he was running the offense and the leading rebounder
And the leading scorer
If a fukking role player leads his team 3 games straight in scoring at the efficiency he had it’s a fukking failure on their best player, who was at the time a prime 2 way player, and the coaching staff
One game can happen but adjustments are made to keep guys like that in check. It happened 3 straight games
No excuses
Lebron had his way with Leonard/Spurs in game 7 of the 2013 finals
Lebron destroyed Leonerd/spurs on the biggest stage in basketball.
That didn't count for some reason
Someone will explain why
Waits for nikkas to say they were daring him shoot and Kawhi was only 21...Lebron gave him work on the absolute biggest stage in the NBA..
Anything to downplay
