@@MyUniqueHandle. Its kinda crazy though, imagine tearing your acl, meniscus, mcl, and whatever muscles else he tore and still play like that. Kawhi is different.
@@abdelrazzaq6996 because he never relied on athleticism like drose/westbrook, his game has always been skill based, never outjumping and outspeeding others
I really hope they manage to win this upcoming season you know they have James Harden and some new young players we got this summer. You never know. If Kawhi is healthy I think he will want it bad enough. If they don't win this season I don't think it will happen ever.
Damn, I've never really put Kawhi's career as far as his dominance during the peak of his prime into perspective until now. An finally realizing that other than his chip with SAS in 2014, unfortunately for most fans (outside of San Antonio for the most part), they'll only remember 2019 in TOR, that entire playoff run (30+ppg/8rpg/4apg) an he topped if off so MJ-esque for the game winner against GS for his 2nd chip before he literally & figuratively rode his career off into the sunset the moment he went back home. His resume should be rivaling Kobe, Steph & LeBron by now. His dominance as a 2 way player, what ifs as far as team support (Doc Rivers smh), circumstances out of his control (injuries & LM) included, you could say he's like a poor mans Shaq in hindsight. Dominated both ways, The Diesel vs The Klaw, got a ring out the mf freezing mud of Toronto vs Curry an the Warriors, ICONIC, like Kobe's game sealing oop to Shaq. But we all realize but rarely admit that if Shaq had a different motor, or if he cared about his body more, what if Kobe DIDN'T have an ego an allowed the big fella to be the #1 option instead of the other way around. Shaq would be rivaling MJ, Kareem, Magic, Bird & LeBron but instead he belongs in the 2nd tier, with greats like Hakeem, Malone, Duncan & Wilt.
midrange one of the best we’ve ever seen. Hes up there with Jordan and kobe. Has had the moments, and hardware to prove it. dismantled both the heat and the warriors dynasties , insane sadly, i feel retirement coming early due to his knees not holding up
That last clip. It was sad, he held on to the rim for so long LIVE on TV that the camera spanned away. He didn't know how to come down. His legs were shot.
injury luck across the league was terrible this season. if he kept his momentum into the playoffs im just saying that dallas wouldnt be playing right now
Prime Kawhi is a 1998 Michael Jordan Clone with part of his frontal lobe of his brain removed. Has the same exact build, and skill set, just less intense and not as high a desire to win and dominate.
Ngl, I forgot how cold bro was😭. Dudes body control and strength is insane
It hurts the game itself when Kawhi is hurt. Like the level of comp will never be what it could be as long as he's injured.
Kawhi is a all time great first ballot hall of famer it sucks we might never see him win another championship again
im just glad he didnt turn out like d-rose. Every time he gets injured he continues to show he can play at an elite level.

Leonard palms the ball like a grapefruit. Having monstrous hands is such a huge benefit. Leonard's 7'3" wingspan doesn't hurt either.
top 5 in the league, but then injuries come playoff time
Get healthy big dawg
Every move is amazing! Kawhi has perfected all the moves to put up the ball and hit right at the target from various positions and contexts.
Too big, too strong, too good.
Seeing Kawhi doing his thing is phenomenal but the dude can’t stay healthy hopefully he can bring a title to L.A.😔
Always here for a Kawhi mix. Now if he could only play more smdh.
Kawhi's stats are maxed out in every basketball ability except the most important one.
Kawhi Leonard need stay healthy special in playoffs
Imagine Kwahi with wemby 🔒 🔒
Sad we only got to see his absolute peak for 1 playoff run.

Zaza robbed him and the rest of the world when he purposely injured him.
This only reminds us talent is not enough in this world.
Wym?
@@Red2Nicee genetics. kawhi has this degenerative condition in his knees unfortunately
7:15 is crazy! He did that like Gobert and SLO Mo were just some bums 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dayam I wish he can play 75 games for 3 seasons in a row and plus the playoffs .
Be healthy Kawhi

Did you watch that game in Real life
@@tekimasilencer4154 Yeah.

Great player injury prone
Kawhi dunks 30% of his possessions. Not quantified, but damn.
