nikkas in this thread are weighing defense way too heavily. Just because dudes like KD and Steph dont play remarkable defense doesnt mean Kawhi is better or more valuable than them. You only need to play decent defense as a perimeter player, offense is more important. The bigs are defensive anchors for a reason

Kawhi is every bit as valuable as them cause of his defense. You should have used another defensive player for that example

:what:

Defense is half of the game of basketball. He's the reigning DPOY of course his defensive skill is gonna get heavy praise

With so many elite scorers/wing players in the league today being able to dominate defensively on the perimeter and shut your man down night in and night out is something to appreciate

Not too mention the offense and easy buckets he creates off steals.

When you can do shyt like this you elite. Kawhi a gamechanger on both ends his defense has to be respected

People will have their list right if they said Griffin and not AD. He hasn't done that much and he's not winning so he's :camby:

There's been some lengthy threads over the years about Kawhi vs Butler vs Paul George

They've all seemed to have improved each year since then. What order would you rank the 3?

update your list for 2015 :dahell:'

this is why people say motherfukkers don't even watch basketball anymore :snoop: like drummond ain't out here making rebounding history. like there arent two point guards in phoenix that are both playing better than chris paul. like jimmy butler ain't carrying a team. like nik batum isn't responsible for one of the greatest offensive turnarounds for a team in the last 20 years. blake griffin on a list after draymond green put that clown in the corner.

:martin:
Blake isn't a top ten player? :comeon:

Too bad they're gonna get their shyt pushed in by the Warriors in the playoffs in Kawhi's first season as the main offensive option.

He might be top 10 right now, but he ain't top 5. I'm impressive with his development, especially on offense.
