He just said that Steph Curry is the best offensive player in the world but Kawhi Leonard is the best two way player in the world today. You guys agree?
Barkley has been all over Kawhi's nuts for awhile now. I think he's really good, and maybe the best wing defender, but I think he's become overrated.
Kawhi has been more accurate from threes than Steph. He's the best defender in the game. The Spurs have the highest point differential in the NBA. Kawhi's played better than many years MVP's. Or do you all think they dominate because of Aldridge?
Steph takes over twice as many threes on like 2% less accuracy. Warriors have the most wins in the league and a tougher SOS than San Antonio. I don't give a shit if Kawhi is the best defender in the galaxy his defensive impact does not > Steph's offensive impact.
Well if we're talking about the best two way player Kawhi's defensive impact certainly matters. He's an elite offensive player as well. That's historically rare; I can't remember ever having a DPOY favorite having this much offensive impact; being second in NBA 3pt % and scoring 20ppg. Steph is having a superior overall season; possibly the best season in the history of basketball. But he's merely average on defense.
Lebron should be thanking curry and the Warriors for having this kind of season, otherwise we'd be talking about how quickly he's declining. He looks awful this year.
Stephs impact >>>>>>>>>>>> Kawhi. You can run an entire offense with just Steph. Kawhi is a great defender but team defense matters way more than individual defense.
I think Lebron could beat Currys ass too. When you watched Lebron play Curry in the finals, you could tell he didn't respect him and thought he was a little bitch. TBH, he is a little bitch.
I think Kwhahi is only overrated because too many people fear that he can be underrated in a Pops system. I think if he wasn't playing in San Antonio and played on a team where he had to carry more of the burden, he could be a superstar.
Yeah good call; Jordan and Hakeem were awesome two way DPOY. Kawhi has been the best in 20 years though.
Even Kobe had a string of nine 40+ games. And he scored 81 in a game! Curry's never come close to either.
curry is the best shooter in the world right now. i dont think that's much of a debate. he's very consistent and is producing a ton of points which probably gets him the overall offensive crown too at this point. Would his offense win best to 5 games in 21 with Lebron, probably not. KL - he's v.good and sometimes amazing, but some of the praise heaped on him is kinda over the top sometimes.
