His speed is remarkably underrated. His big hands and defensive instincts make him second to none, but I think what makes him the best defender in the league is his quuckness. He recovers quickly, converts turnovers to fast breaks quickly and overall his leg speed makes him a scary prospect for most offensive players. I would go as far to say that by the end of his career he will be known as the greatest perimeter defender of all time
He is this fucking great in an era with no touching allowed. It was stresseful watching LeBron and the Heat go up against his defense. Such a BEAST all around!
Back when Timmy was still playing. Kawhi didn't need to worry bout other people's job but his. That what made him so good last year. Now he has to guard his guy and two other guys since the rest don't like playing defense smh. Pau gasol ass needs to play defense
May Yong The true is that Kawhi as always been a little overhelping and sometimes he was/is to far in The perimeter and because he so long he know he can recover and Block OR steal and when not td was always there to give him time to recover now well is unfair to compare The defense of pau and Duncan ....
KawGOAT LeonGOAT facts 💯 I don't like LEBRON but real basketball fans know how fucking good LeBron is and what he bring to a team but when he goes against my boy kawhi Leonard it's a different story 😂
Since the players in the league knows that Kawhi is the defender in the league, why would they relax when they are playing against him? That is a noob move.
Who knew someone could make Defense look as effortless as Curry letting it fly from 30, or KD rising up over a defender, or Lebron bullying his way in the fastbreak.
A complete and healthy Spurs is really much better than a complete healthy Warriors. Warriors is kind of a rip off of Spurs considering the fact that Steve Kerr and Mike Brown became part of the Spurs team before they were recruited by the new Warriors organization. They know the Spurs defensive system and most probably will apply it to the Warriors so it is not suprising at all that Warriors defense became very good from being a trash.
thencamekyle if you watched last season match up the Spurs fucked them up watch the opening night game😂 even the bench went at it and again the Spurs raped the warriors 💯
spursnation yeah they did, but that was the first game KD played with his new teammates 😭 they did get smoked but they ended up getting swept in the conference finals 😭 and ion wanna hear "Kawhi got hurt and that's why they won" he's a great player but nobody can do it all by themselves. The Spurs fucking suck now, he's there only hope, everyone else is older. They got swept, so no they can not beat the Warriors healthy or not

Sharne Parata FACTS FAMILY
By the end of his career a lot of people will consider him the goat.
@@masterchief5833 the goat is a no but one of the best defensive players definitely

if I see Pau move faster than a slight jog I'll give you all my money

For a brief moment he definitely was
great video. 👌
-Evil Kawhi
Imagine instead of Durant the Warriors got Kawhi, that Green-Kawhi combo at defense would be deadly
Nathaniel Rapelo nobody would score unless it's on curry or zaza
he a better defender than scottie pippen
I pray he can stay healthy for 2018-2019. He deserves so much more than being injured by DumbSza.
curry exposed when kawhi is near let's go Spurs#Kawhi Defensive player of the 21st century
BEAST
