Somebody .gif please:
Is Kawhi Leanord a superstar
- Thread starter BrothaZay
- Start date
What I will say is that I won't know until it actually happens. There were guys I thought would be great offensive players in the right situation and then they got in that situation and it didn't pop, and the opposite as well. But I just don't see it with Kawhi. I'll say this though, he strikes me as the type of cat who works on his game hard body in the offseason so I wouldn't be surprised if he DEVELOPED the offensive game to be an elite/superstar level player.

Exactly. You can only go by what they've done in the past and what they're doing right now. Kawhi has been phenomenal. How is he not a superstar at this point?
It's not what they could be/could have been, but what they've done that makes GOATs the GOATs. Theory is nice, but not the truth.

Absolutely not. If he was the #1 option and a team could focus its defensive game plan on stopping Kawhi Leonard, no way in hell he averages 25, and certainly not in a playoff series. And if Kawhi Leonard is your number one go-to scorer and you need him to get 25 every night to win, that team isn't winning 30 games. I just don't see it. He's not creative offensively at all.
This season, only LeBron James, James Harden, and Russell Westbrook put up more than 25 points per game. You think Kawhi Leonard belongs on that list?
So you only base being a superstar on scoring points i see. Foh

No caping but your statement is partially true, Leonard is top ten in ppg breh.

All Star
bron literally does that every single game lol
Where did you get that from? But if you CAN'T score points at a high clip, how can you be a SUPERstar? We're not talking about a very good player. We're not talking about being an All-Star. We're talking about being a superstar, which I classify as basically one of the elite players in the game. Name a SUPERSTAR at that position from history that wasn't able to score at a high clip. I'll wait.
Breh, that's a fukking three game playoff statistic.He's top ten in these playoffs, man, come on. He was 35th during the season at about 16 per.
True lol. But you got to admit he is getting better every season. Imo, I don't think hes a superstar.
He is a good player but not a superstar. Let's put this in perspective. He has 3 future Hall of Famers on his team, not including coach Popovich that attract attention and can turn it up at any point in the playoffs. Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili all scored in single digits last night but teams know better than to underestimate them. We need to have this discussion after the Hall of Famers on his team retire.
Is it just me or does it seem like for all the winning the Spurs do they seem like they are having the least fun
Kwahi has the look on his face like he's actually working a 9-5 sometimes
You don't have to showboat but goddamn these Spurs teams are emotionless
