He's the best player in the East and the most accomplished.
Kawhi is one of the most fundamentally sound offensive players in the league. He just does all the basic things, and there’s little wasted movement when he’s looking to score. Combine that with him being the greatest perimeter defender of his generationThat’s the thing that gets me about Kawhi. He gets to his sports better than anyone I’ve ever seen.
His pullup looks like MJs or Kobe’s but he’s bigger than both. That’s tough. Bron couldn’t do the pullups and step back at crazy angles I’ve seen out of Kawhi. And he’s an extremely accurate shooter.
Kawhi wasn't being overlooked.
Nygga sat out every 2nd game of a back-to-back for "load management" (played 60 games total) and lowkey scaled back his intensity and effort from the first few weeks of the season, which was when ppl were gearin up to put him in early mvp consideration and calling him top 5 player based off what he did vs the Celtics, Warriors, etc., in those early games.
He was pretty much coasting until the playoffs. As far as if he's the best in the East, we'll know for sure in a month when it's time for the ECFs.
Let’s have that discussion nowPeople still think its 2018 when it comes to Giannis shooting
Kawhi choked in game 1 but now he's the best player in the east ?
Lets see how it all plays out.
