He disappears long enough that everyone forgets about him. When he re-appears we remember that he is one of the greatest players of his generation. Let's just hope he can stay healthy!
98 Jordan was still much quicker, much more agile and way more skilled. Most importantly, his mentality and competitiveness was still one of a kind. FAR better player overall
@ agree, Kawhi is slower because he is stronger and bigger than MJ. MJ is shooting guard, Kawhi is small forward. But Im takking about overall game and getting to the spots.
yeah imo despite drose getting injured for a longer time and bigger injury Kawhi still has a bigger what if. 2017, and 2021/2022 could have been his years
@joseaaronleojeruta2122 Jordan had a fancy cross-over as he talked shit on the jumper. Also, he's dunks was like he was Jack the Ripper. Older Jordan was simply business. Early Jordan to early 90's Jordan was more flashy and "ha let me show you".
It was pretty much at this exact point in the season last year, right before the All Star Break, where KD straight up said that Kawhi was the best player in the league so whenever he's healthy and in peak basketball shape that is never going to change imo since although he's built like the terminator his game doesn't revolve too much around athleticism which means regardless of his age he can still easily get to his spot's for extremely efficient buckets while playing All NBA defense on each and every possession. The main difference between KD and Kawhi is that KD has a wider wingspan while being more naturally gifted on the court, whereas Kawhi had to work like crazy to get where he is today, and plus KD doesn't play nearly as hard as Kawhi does on the defensive end of the floor and apart from Game 7 against Denver in the Bubble Kawhi doesn't seem to ever get phased by the moment, which cant always be said for KD who snaked his way over to a record breaking Golden State team after blowing a 3-1 lead against them in the WCF(I blame that Clippers Game 7 moreso on PG's choker mentality then anything though tbh, because Kawhi was balling out in every game during the Bubble until his back finally broke from trying to carry that team and man who started chucking up terrible shots like the one late on that hit the side of the damn backboard). However that's just my opinion though since Kawhi is the closest thing I've seen to MJ in my lifetime and even moreso then Kobe due to his perfected midrange game while being much more efficient them him offensively asw 🤷♂🤝.
If he wins a championship hes going to be a goat . Because the clippers have never won one and he won for the raptors . LeBron could never do that . LeBron has always needed another superstars to win one . James harden is 35 years old can’t even make wide open floaters . THE KLAW IS AT KOBES LEVEL
yes prime kawhi is better than kobe. better midrange, 3 ball, free throw, defense, efficiency, strength. what does kobe do better? kobe just shot more and took worse shots
@@BlahBlah-v1y what can they say thats factually correct? he had "mamba mentality"? of course kobes had the better career cuz of longevity, but prime kawhi is a step above kobe
@fungi43 dude it's Kobe. Some folks believe he can walk on water. Then Lakers' fans?!?! Here's an example. Had one tell me the Lakers didn't beat the Nuggets two seasons back cuz they wasn't healthy. Luck had nothing to do with them getting that far and if healthy they'd beat the Nuggets. Yeah champions that season got lucky beating the 6th or 7th seed. 🤣😂🤣😂
@fungi43 also Kobe's mentality more times then not hurt the Lakers. That diva superstar persona cost them alot over his career. Kawhi doesn't have that mindset.
@@BlahBlah-v1yhaha no wonder Kobe doesn't have 6 chips because of his "goat mentality" made Dwight Howard play even his shoulders hurted 😂 no wonder he gets carried by an all star center when he won those chips unlike kawhi
He 9 Games in and still ain’t lost it. That’s Bruhh Point. With KAWHI injuries he shouldn’t even still be this fckin Elite. Shows the work he put in when he isn’t Playing💯
@KINGBatman333 and with his history he could miss 3 seasons cuz he blinked to hard. It's 9 games you don't chant MVP cuz ya play 9 games man. Point okay fine but "bruh" it's 9 games.
@WhineyOne 🤣😂🤣 not crying. Let's see what he's doing in April, May, June if they make it that far. Will it be with him? Is Harden gonna have to carry them? Look, I'm happy he's played 9 games, but come on.
He disappears long enough that everyone forgets about him. When he re-appears we remember that he is one of the greatest players of his generation. Let's just hope he can stay healthy!
KL2 would be in the GOAT convo if not for his dreadful injuries. One of the best/fun players to watch 😊
Kawhi without injuries is just 2 way menace, taller and stronger 98 Jordan version. Just pure buckets, no wasted movements, and defensive deamon.
💯… Always said this shit. Or a Bigger and Stronger 2010/11 KOBE.
Yea. If he wasn't such a generational defender, he probably would have easily averaged near 30 tbh. You can't stop him on offense
98 Jordan was still much quicker, much more agile and way more skilled. Most importantly, his mentality and competitiveness was still one of a kind.
FAR better player overall
@ agree, Kawhi is slower because he is stronger and bigger than MJ. MJ is shooting guard, Kawhi is small forward. But Im takking about overall game and getting to the spots.
I would love nothing more than a deep Clippers playoff run so Kawhi can gain back the respect he deserves across the league
Man a healthy kawhi resume would legit be
9x All Star
2x DPOY
4x finals mvp
yeah imo despite drose getting injured for a longer time and bigger injury Kawhi still has a bigger what if. 2017, and 2021/2022 could have been his years
@ yes bro 2021 playoffs is so damn slept on dude was averaging 30ppg on 60% shooting I believe man
Great vid. I'm in.
I think he has improved his passing. His back again on bringing improvement on his game each season.
That was a narrative early in his career. Hes been a good passer since late san antonio
@@WhoIsRah learned to shoot in silver and black also.
@@BlahBlah-v1y yup hes had quite the development
yeah...same thing i thought...
Great analysis, love it
His game is efficient, clean, and no frills. Only a programmed robot can achieve such a level.
MJ-like. No fancy dribbles.
@joseaaronleojeruta2122 Jordan had a fancy cross-over as he talked shit on the jumper. Also, he's dunks was like he was Jack the Ripper. Older Jordan was simply business. Early Jordan to early 90's Jordan was more flashy and "ha let me show you".
MJ/Kobe hybrid. The last of a dying breed. Yes, more kawhi analysis please.
There's also Jalen green and demar DeRozan but Jalen green is similar to Clyde drexler more than those too
Good job, man! Much success to you.
A healthy Kawhi is better than KD!
It was pretty much at this exact point in the season last year, right before the All Star Break, where KD straight up said that Kawhi was the best player in the league so whenever he's healthy and in peak basketball shape that is never going to change imo since although he's built like the terminator his game doesn't revolve too much around athleticism which means regardless of his age he can still easily get to his spot's for extremely efficient buckets while playing All NBA defense on each and every possession.

Better 2 way player.
But KD has just reached 30,000 points. One of the greatest scorers of all time.
Clippers are about to be dangerous in 4th quarter minutes
Leonard's just different beast
Kawhi is back! Looks like we know who the champs are gonna be 2025 😅
Very Fundamental KL2
Kawhi been like that fr
Healthy Kawhi = Best player in the league!!
If he’s healthy come playoffs they could win the west Honourable mention James Harden
🐐
If he wins a championship hes going to be a goat . Because the clippers have never won one and he won for the raptors . LeBron could never do that . LeBron has always needed another superstars to win one . James harden is 35 years old can’t even make wide open floaters . THE KLAW IS AT KOBES LEVEL
At Kobe's level? You misspelled Jordan.
@Foodfordays999 greatest of all time is tossed around too much!
Harden is playing good these days, both him and Powell are great
Lmao, the clippers wouldn’t be here without Harden; stop the disrespect
@@renigate talk to Rockets, Sixers about how valuable Harden is.
Nice break down.
Amen ! ❤ .
Slow is pro
Matty Dubs Nother clipper Vid baby, Raiders Pete Carroll hire, Trump doing business for the American people The world is a good place
They need a bench
people know.
yes prime kawhi is better than kobe. better midrange, 3 ball, free throw, defense, efficiency, strength. what does kobe do better? kobe just shot more and took worse shots

@@LastTrueElk 😂 you understand!
Again? He's played 9 games! Let's talk about what he's done when he's played more games then colleges play before the tourney.
