Has anyone EVER lit up Kawhi Leonard?

This thread is super unrealistic

Of course Kawhi has taken his lumps

It’s basketball

Even this breh ain’t co signing. Yeah OP it’s a done deal. The effort to spark discussion is always appreciated tho, especially in these lean times.

Being guarded particularly by Kawhi? KD several times. Lebron at one point. Jason Tatum.

 

[Jerz]

KD a cheat code and the only that Kawhi really couldn't stop if he needed to. None of em guarding Kawhi. I still remember that night he dropped 41 pts on Brons loaded Cleveland squad, in Cleveland.. shyt was ugly

We low key need to drop a Kawhi offense thread though cause while he isn't fluid offensively, it is a beauty to watch him when he's in rhythm getting buckets.

Not surprising that you remembered it because it was one of only 2 times that he's ever broke 30 against LeBron.

15-30 from the field with with 6 turnovers in an overtime game...it happens.

But Cleveland's "loaded" squad...just stop.

Kyrie
Shump
LeBron
Love
TT

Korver
Frye
Jefferson
Liggins


THAT was the squad Kawhi faced that night. In 2017 that's an ASS squad defensively.

and when ANY star catch fire he looks like he cant miss

Now when you say “broke 30” do you mean score 31 & up? Otherwise the 2 times he scored 30 or more on him this year would bring that stat you made up to....3 Times

 

[SadimirPutin]

Yall probably think Kawhi locked up Giannis solo too

Hitting 30 isn't breaking it.

LeBron done it to Kawhi 7 times, but that ain't even important cause from a GOAT it's expected.

You know those dont count

Lebron been locked down everytime couldn't get off a shot


Well that's what they gonna say

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

a GOAT

Oxymoron

Words are defined by usage, gotta roll with the times brother.

I never said he stopped em. I’m saying how many times has his matchup got off on him. I got a couple of examples in KD...Bron got him...but I haven’t seen him really get at prime Kawhi to this day

People saying Tatum that ain’t true....
People saying Steph that ain’t true...
People saying Klay that ain’t true...

Westbrook got his ass handed to him multiple times
Jimmy buckets got turned into the invisible man
Giannis got exposed so bad he started looking like Ben Simmons

How perimeter defenders have that kind of resume Foreal tho

 

[Marc Spector]

Modern NBA usage /points per possession is so high that "going off" is subjective
