Kawhi has the same amount of rings as KD without doing half the shyt KD did to get em, if Durant can still get respect for his career then Kawhi can too

More rings than Jokic
More rings than Giannis

Terrible thread premise

:mjlol:@ countin the 2014 role player ass ring as if it mean anythin.

Kawhi averaged 14/7/2 in that run. That ring hold the same weight as a 1981 Cedrix Maxwell or 2015 Iguodala. Wasn't the best or even 2nd sometimes 3rd best Spur in most they series. He went off the last 3 games against a Heat team runnin on fumes wit a :flabbynsick: defense and nikkas act like he played at level of those last 3 games the whole playoffs FOH

But you also said Raptors did fine when Kawhi went to LA. Well Warriors did just fine without KD winning a championship before him and most importantly after him.

So if Kawhi was on loaded rosters all his career and his championships don't hold strong value, then neither does KD's :manny: and we can find more names like that.

Always on a stacked team
only won the chip when joining a dynasty and hasn't done anything else really
and Kawhi has been to 5 Conference Finals :yeshrug:
Idiots like you are exactly how you get players like KD on the GSW. People who view sports through preconceived narratives and don’t appreciate the day in and day out. No one is claiming Josh Allen, Lamar and Burrow have done nothing and they’ve never won. KD was in the NBA finals at 23 years old and what was stacked about those young Thunder teams when Harden was just a 6th man? Or when they traded him? Kawhi Leonard has accomplished significantly less than KD in basketball. Contributes much less than him for his first title. Was great for his second ring but benefitted from KD and Klay going down. And then has flopped every year in LAC despite doing exactly what KD and Bron did after leaving their original teams. The difference is KD never had the benefit of having a healthy team for an entire run - Kawhi himself was the one getting hurt and he got passes for it and then when he wasn’t hurt - he got upset in the bubble while being up 3-1 with the best roster in the NBA. Then his team made the WCF without him. That Toronto ring and what he “might do” got yall forgetting what he did do.

Champions league
coli was attacking giannis last week but want to have kid gloves with kawhi. Kawhi has been there 6 years and all he has to show for it is 3 first round exits, 1 western conference semis and one western conference finals.

After a few solid games a few weeks ago coli made a give kawhi his flowers thread, and all dude did is not score more than 30 points in any of the 7 games

It would be interesting to see how his career would have gone if he never had the injuries.

Odd player in that he's Top 5-ish during his peak, but he was hurt so much that it wasn't sustained very long. He's also been in pretty good situations, so he's never really had to "carry" a team the way most superstars have to at some point.

KAWHI IS THE ONLY DUDE
THAT CAN GET KNOCKED OUT
IN THE 2ND RD WITH A 67 WIN TEAM
AND IT NEVER GETS TALKED ABOUT.

KAWHI THE ONLY DUDE
WHO CAN BLOW A 3-1 LEAD
WITH THE BEST ROSTER IN THE NBA
AND IT NEVER GETS TALKED ABOUT.

KAWHI THE ONLY DUDE WHO
CAN WIN ONE PLAYOFF SERIES
IN THE LAST 6 SEASONS
AND IT NEVER GETS TALKED ABOUT.

:dead: IN 2016 KD WOULDVE HAD
TO BEAT A 67 WIN TEAM,
A 73 WIN TEAM
AND THE CAVS TO WIN THE TITLE.

SOME PPL WEREN'T LUCKY ENOUGH
TO SPEND THEIR PRIME IN THE EAST
