Probably because he plays really good defense
Lies.....No he doesn't. Kawhi hasn't strapped down since 2015-2016. The moment his offensive went up his defense took a complete nose dive.
The Bucks series was a complete wall team defense. Bledsoe couldn't shoot so they left him completely wide open. Kawhi can't stop Freak one on one at all.
Harden gets cooking and he stays on P.J
Booker gets cooking and he stays on Rubio
Dude blocks Kemba at the end and people gave him credit for locking up Kemba when Moe Harkless had him the entire game until the last possession
Kawhi is a reputation defender at this point.
