I said it almost 7 years ago that kawhi or k.d would be the best in the nba .the best part about kawhi is that he did it inside out .by that I mean he was great on defense and worked hard to have an offensive game .that's hard .other than that .should of stayed in toronto lol .

I think Dwade fits the bill for this conversation. Sure, he went 5th in a draft class with LeBron, Carmelo, and Bosh, but who was really looking at him before he balled out in the tournament when he was at Marquette? And even though he went 5th overall, I don't think anyone thought he would be fighting for best player in the league against a prime LeBron and Kobe. There were even times when he looked better than them. Dwade was definitely a case of a person working really hard and as a result becoming great.
Facts. He despised kawhi last year now all of a sudden he's giving kawhi props again now that he's challenging LeBron in the West. Skip is a sneaky little f*ck if you don't pay attention to him
Lebron's stats in the 2014 finals were guady but advance analytics show that most of his numbers were obtained in "garbage" time when Spurs were up by 15 or more. He also has much lower stats whenever Kawhi guarded him so yes Kawhi did contain him. When the game was within 15 points or less, Kawhi outplayed Lebron in Games 3-5 when Pop "unleashed" Kawhi. So he truly deserved the MVP cause no one else on the Spurs team could have guarded Lebron the way he did and that was key to shutting down Miami.
Jason Harvey Leonard has talked about on multiple occasions how Chip Engellend was crucial in changing and helping him perfect his jumpshot. You people just hate that the Spurs get credit about developing Kawhi
Jason Harvey Did you watch Leonard in college? His jumpshot and its form was so much different than it was on the Spurs. He was very athletic and a great defender but he was raw
NBA is by far the best sports league in the world right now.. just an immense amount of talent , its actually crazy! At least 3-4 guys going at the best player in the world title and playing like such any given night... amazing
Greg Popovich saw this coming. Thats why after the 2014 Finals he called him the future. NOW the rest of the league is discovering what everyone in San Antonio already knew.
Really? Guys like Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, Dwight Howard, Karl Anthony Towns, Derek Rose, Blake Griffin, John Wall, Ben Simmons, etc haven't mattered?
@@Icanonlycountto4 if you have to ask then you simply don't know basketball. Blake Griffin, Dwight Howard, Derek Rose, Ben Simmons, Anthony Davis, John Wall to answer your question...KAT is the only one who hasn't but he's had only one playoff appearance.. But these guys literally represent dozens of all star games, all NBA teams, multiple Olympic gold medals and represents an MVP, 3 defensive player of the year awards and historic turnarounds of terrible franchises like the Clippers. It's 100% brain dead to say that #1 picks don't matter. They only "don't matter" when a team doesn't do their homework and picks a bust like Anthony Bennett.

Kawaii was raw when he first came into the league but in no way was this a total suprise. He wasnt trash. As a rookie he was delegated to mainly defense and corner threes but he was early in his career when the spurs ran a pick and roll/ motion offense. Around year 2 or 3 spurs fans could see he was goin to develop into a special player because of his build and his progression. He stood out as a spur cause his long and athletic build was something the spurs rarely had in that era. Spurs teams consisted of skilled and intelligent players with system oriented offense by pop and you could tell Kawaii was pure athlete. That along with his personality type matched well with the spurs identity and abilty to develop players. It wasntvlong before spurs fans realized that he was goin to develop into a special player. It wasnt a crazy suprise revelation like skip makes itbout to be. He acts like the truth just cause he thinks everyone is ignorant to the spurs but im a lifelong spurs fan from Texas an skip is always flavoring his arguments with bias. And chris and shannon are spot on about his role, his 3 point efficiency, and what was asked of him early in his career and what transpired once he was given more then a piece of the offense.
Kawhi right now is the most complete player in the league. He has become a great scorer who can score in a diverse ways, great defender, very good rebounder and now his playmaking has improved drastically and on top of that he is coachable and willing to play off the ball
Kawhi.... by the time he's done with the NBA he will be known as the G.O.A.T!! BETTER THEN M.J!! people have no clue what this guy is capable of doing to the NBA in the next 6years!!
Omologato Greater not better.....He has a legit chance to have a dynasty with the clippers. I do think Giannis will cut it short by joining the warriors next year😂wild prediction. But Kawhi is MJ on .5 speed.
@@banahyasharahla3239 we will see... and how about this prediction... Kawhi wins 2 or 3 chips with the clippers then signs with Lakers for 4 years and wins 2 or 3 chips there... with the obvious bron needs to bounce!... what a damn legacy he'll have if this happens!!
Omologato Will be the weirdest legacy in nba history to me. I already think he is a better player than Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan were. He is on a Hakeem level of dominance and Tbh is NEARING magic/bird level dominance.
LeBron Should Retire well he played on the pelicans in the West. Kahwi got to play with 3 hall of famers and arguably the greatest coach ever his first 6 seasons. Then got traded to a very talented Toronto team which had 2 hall of famers and got to play in the east. He’s been very lucky to be blessed with great teams and great organizations
kjax Kyle Lowry and Gasol are Hall of famers. Lowry is a 6x all star has made all nba teams and is a nba champion he’s a hall of famer. Marc gasol is a 3x all star 3x all nba lvl a DPoY and nba champion. They will both make the Hall of Fame.
Kawhi with load management tonight in Utah. Clippers' first B2B and 2nd game of 3 games in 4 nights. Targeting to play his old Spurs tomorrow. I'm okay with this. Stay healthy
I have to disagree with shannon on kawhi’s playmaking, he has slowly become a better playmaker. even last year in the playoffs he would struggle to make the right pass, but this year, his playmaking looks great
This is one segment that Skip had a hard time talking about and he had to agree with Chris and Shannon a lot on. Did Skip just loose a debate?! #ComeOnSkiiiip!!
Skip is a shrewd operator if you don't pay attention. He hated on everything kawhi did last year when kawhi was in the east and LeBron was in the west and out the playoffs. Now that kawhi is challenging LeBron in the western conference skip has to pick which of the two he's going to hate on. By the looks of it he's jumping back on the kawhi bandwagon just so he can continue to hate on LeBron. I guess it's a business decision for Skip 😂. Hating on LeBron has made skip alot of money and turned him into a household name.

I love his analysis😍😍😍
Kawhi became a good player in skips eye ever since he chose to challenge lebron in LA
Facts. He despised kawhi last year now all of a sudden he's giving kawhi props again now that he's challenging LeBron in the West. Skip is a sneaky little f*ck if you don't pay attention to him
It's not even sneaky. He trolls all of you and you are eating it up
Lebron's stats in the 2014 finals were guady but advance analytics show that most of his numbers were obtained in "garbage" time when Spurs were up by 15 or more. He also has much lower stats whenever Kawhi guarded him so yes Kawhi did contain him. When the game was within 15 points or less, Kawhi outplayed Lebron in Games 3-5 when Pop "unleashed" Kawhi. So he truly deserved the MVP cause no one else on the Spurs team could have guarded Lebron the way he did and that was key to shutting down Miami.
He came in the league with mid 30 precent 3 point percentage and that was a lockout season Spurs didn't teach him how to shoot
Did you watch Spurs games?
Jason Harvey Leonard has talked about on multiple occasions how Chip Engellend was crucial in changing and helping him perfect his jumpshot. You people just hate that the Spurs get credit about developing Kawhi
Jason Harvey Did you watch Leonard in college? His jumpshot and its form was so much different than it was on the Spurs. He was very athletic and a great defender but he was raw
This guy obviously just did a quick search on basketball reference.
I'm not saying they did absolutely zero but over and over I watch skip try to act like he was some made robot that they put the pieces to
NBA is by far the best sports league in the world right now.. just an immense amount of talent , its actually crazy! At least 3-4 guys going at the best player in the world title and playing like such any given night... amazing
Remember when kD said the klaw was just a system player hmmm
I WANT A SIT DOWN WITH SKIPP AND KAWI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shannon with shots fired at the end😂😂😂😂 just couldn't resist
It's funny how Skip hated kawhis guts last year when he was in the east. Now that kawhi is in LA against LeBron he is back praising kawhi.🤔
Greg Popovich saw this coming. Thats why after the 2014 Finals he called him the future. NOW the rest of the league is discovering what everyone in San Antonio already knew.
One wrong move and Shannon Sharpe will shred that suit to kingdom come.
I agree completely with Skip.
If we're being honest first overall picks haven't mattered since 2003
Really? Guys like Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, Dwight Howard, Karl Anthony Towns, Derek Rose, Blake Griffin, John Wall, Ben Simmons, etc haven't mattered?
@@Israel-nb7ip Have either of those guys besides Kyrie made it out of the first round or further?
The Smoove Fox don’t sleep on rose before the injury
@@Icanonlycountto4 if you have to ask then you simply don't know basketball. Blake Griffin, Dwight Howard, Derek Rose, Ben Simmons, Anthony Davis, John Wall to answer your question...KAT is the only one who hasn't but he's had only one playoff appearance.. But these guys literally represent dozens of all star games, all NBA teams, multiple Olympic gold medals and represents an MVP, 3 defensive player of the year awards and historic turnarounds of terrible franchises like the Clippers. It's 100% brain dead to say that #1 picks don't matter. They only "don't matter" when a team doesn't do their homework and picks a bust like Anthony Bennett.
@@michaelhansell3166 he's pretending like Derek Rose wasn't an MVP or a franchise player for years.
He has improved a lot....
Skip having flashbacks of Kawhi on Spurs. Dude misses the guy so much he still can't forgive him 😂
He needs to understand the NBA is still a business and people gonna come and go. He acts like he's supposed to stay planted in one location forever 🙄🙄
this was actually a really intriguing segment good job on this one
He already is.
Kawhi is that dude, he's THAT DUDE!
Kawhi is the best player in the nba even when kd comes back....
Akeem Lane u know he tore his Achilles right? Before the injuries, KD was better.
kabagema yannick he was on a better team lol😂 Which made him look exponentially better and he was already great before that!
@@kabagemayannick5097 you do realized if the 2019 finals had curry injured and kd healthy instead, raps would have swept the warriors with kd leading it
Weneed him and the KD less Warriors took the Raptors almost to 7 games. Delusional much?
@@kabagemayannick5097 I will say it again, but his time more specific, "if curry was the guy injured in all of 2019 finals, and kd was the guy healthy in all of 2019 finals, raps either sweep them or win in 5" btw a kd less warriors are capable of doing way more than losing in 6 to the raps, since they done this like 5 years straight now, and raps never was in the finals
Kawaii was raw when he first came into the league but in no way was this a total suprise. He wasnt trash. As a rookie he was delegated to mainly defense and corner threes but he was early in his career when the spurs ran a pick and roll/ motion offense. Around year 2 or 3 spurs fans could see he was goin to develop into a special player because of his build and his progression. He stood out as a spur cause his long and athletic build was something the spurs rarely had in that era. Spurs teams consisted of skilled and intelligent players with system oriented offense by pop and you could tell Kawaii was pure athlete. That along with his personality type matched well with the spurs identity and abilty to develop players. It wasntvlong before spurs fans realized that he was goin to develop into a special player. It wasnt a crazy suprise revelation like skip makes itbout to be. He acts like the truth just cause he thinks everyone is ignorant to the spurs but im a lifelong spurs fan from Texas an skip is always flavoring his arguments with bias. And chris and shannon are spot on about his role, his 3 point efficiency, and what was asked of him early in his career and what transpired once he was given more then a piece of the offense.
revfab i aint readin allat you kno what you talm bout fasho doe
Damn Kawhi really gonna get 3 rings with 3 different teams
christopher williams Nah I doubt it.
Tod Wilkinson He wasn't winning in 2017 lol anyways
Not just that, 3 Finals MVPs with 3 different teams. Will be the first player in history to do so.
11:21 they had my heart hurting as a Spurs fan. Imagine how Skip feels sitting across the table having Kawhi rubbed in his face on live tv.
Drip” but i saw it coming “ bayless
Kawhi right now is the most complete player in the league. He has become a great scorer who can score in a diverse ways, great defender, very good rebounder and now his playmaking has improved drastically and on top of that he is coachable and willing to play off the ball
I literally saw this coming way before he was great i even said he remind me of jordan then took it back like nah im going too far
Whatever you say bro
Das cooool!
A SON OF JESUS CHRIST saw what coming?
Whatching Shannon give it to Skip at the end made me so happy 😂
Kawhi.... by the time he's done with the NBA he will be known as the G.O.A.T!! BETTER THEN M.J!! people have no clue what this guy is capable of doing to the NBA in the next 6years!!
Omologato Greater not better.....He has a legit chance to have a dynasty with the clippers. I do think Giannis will cut it short by joining the warriors next year😂wild prediction. But Kawhi is MJ on .5 speed.
@@banahyasharahla3239 we will see... and how about this prediction... Kawhi wins 2 or 3 chips with the clippers then signs with Lakers for 4 years and wins 2 or 3 chips there... with the obvious bron needs to bounce!... what a damn legacy he'll have if this happens!!
Omologato Will be the weirdest legacy in nba history to me. I already think he is a better player than Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan were. He is on a Hakeem level of dominance and Tbh is NEARING magic/bird level dominance.
Staying out of the social media and being a fun guy helps.
AD's unique path to being the best player in the world. Dude dropped 40 and 20 in 3 quarters like it was nothing with a sore shoulder. Wake up.
LeBron Should Retire well he played on the pelicans in the West. Kahwi got to play with 3 hall of famers and arguably the greatest coach ever his first 6 seasons. Then got traded to a very talented Toronto team which had 2 hall of famers and got to play in the east. He’s been very lucky to be blessed with great teams and great organizations
@kjax Lmfaooooo
kjax Kyle Lowry and Gasol are Hall of famers. Lowry is a 6x all star has made all nba teams and is a nba champion he’s a hall of famer. Marc gasol is a 3x all star 3x all nba lvl a DPoY and nba champion. They will both make the Hall of Fame.
Siakam's turning into a monster too
Kawhi with load management tonight in Utah. Clippers' first B2B and 2nd game of 3 games in 4 nights. Targeting to play his old Spurs tomorrow. I'm okay with this. Stay healthy
For sure, Kawhi is truly special
Better than Dak
I have to agree with Skip and Shannon's assessment of Kawhi. Kawhi makes the game look easy.
I have to disagree with shannon on kawhi’s playmaking, he has slowly become a better playmaker. even last year in the playoffs he would struggle to make the right pass, but this year, his playmaking looks great
Skip has finally recovered lol
This is one segment that Skip had a hard time talking about and he had to agree with Chris and Shannon a lot on. Did Skip just loose a debate?! #ComeOnSkiiiip!!
Skip is a shrewd operator if you don't pay attention. He hated on everything kawhi did last year when kawhi was in the east and LeBron was in the west and out the playoffs. Now that kawhi is challenging LeBron in the western conference skip has to pick which of the two he's going to hate on. By the looks of it he's jumping back on the kawhi bandwagon just so he can continue to hate on LeBron. I guess it's a business decision for Skip 😂. Hating on LeBron has made skip alot of money and turned him into a household name.
If skip bring up that shot coach ONE MORE TIME that story is old AF
Kawhi is a mixture of Kobe and MJ and they had a nephew
I have much respect for Kawhi Leonard growth on both sides of the ball 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💯 best player in the game hands down.
Kawhi beat a injury ridden Warriors team now he's the best player in the world...I'm sleep.
