Is that considered a generation ?

In reality, a generation is roughly every 20 - 30 years. In sports, it's understood that a generation is roughly 10 - 15 years. That is typically the amount of time it takes for dynasties to rise and fall, the style of play to shift dramatically, and young, "generational" prospects to arrive to replace the aging stars.

During the majority of Kawhi's career since being drafted in that 2011 class, he has been the best two way player. No one combined the scoring along with the elite defensive ability and the physical tools he had to harass offensive players. Instead of wasting time being passive aggressive because you're moody over Embiid and answering my question with a question, name a better perimeter defender than Kawhi since 2011 that was elite for longer.

His place is cemented. Injuries prevent me from putting him on the same tier as the top top guys. But 2 Finals MVPs in two different conferences--one of em as a young'n, and the other in perhaps the greatest run ever, puts him in a rare category. I really think at his best he was the best player in the sport.
