Air Jordan Regrets to not give Kawhi few million or a signature shoe. He is the Rightful and True Heir of Kobe and MJ. New Balance got one thing right.
Even Scottie Pippen, in this interview, recognized that Kawhi is like Michael Jordan his old team mate. He was not showing any weakness and is a beast.
Of course thats the mentality you have to have. He was a 2nd round pick tons of those guys dont even play in the league let alone become a starter. Heres a guys whos career was in jeopardy the second he got drafted and he turns his underdog mentality into a driving force to become the starter on a championship team. Then he becomes an All-Star and DPOY. Dude is not supposed to even be here but his hard work and determination brought him to become an all time great player. You can dislike his antics but Draymond has heart and you have to respect that.
Also: Kawhi is 100% a create a player from 2k6: maxed out wingspan, 100% on defence, wet jumper, cornrows and silence. There's no flair, only GOOD basketball!
Scottie knows what makes a player an all-time great, you can see it when he talks. This is why I will always respect players who have a better (even equal) defensive game than their offensive. It takes so much more skill and work to get to the point of being an elite defender in comparison. Curry for example is a great offensive player, but as soon as you bring in the other half of the game of basketball (defense) he immediately drops from discussion of all-time greats at his position.
You are wrong and here is why🤣but anyway, Magic Johnson is in top 5 greatest players of all time. He wasn't elite defender soo honestly that's not only the case... Defense is important, bit it is just one segment of the game, there is also shooting, passing, IQ etc, etc... The only thing that Magic wasn't good was in defense, same with Curry, Curry is still top 13 all time amd that's because he only has 3 championships, if he wins one more, he will pass Hakeem who is incredible defender and all time player and Oscar Robertson. Curry isn't in conversation for the greatest of all time is because he played bad in 2016 finals and also he was very inefficient in 2019 soo Curry isn't in GOAT conversation because he still has some things to prove, but his defense has nothing with that.
@@newportnelson tell me, which place is Magic Johnson all time?? Yeah, I agree, defense in past was very, very important, right now, defense isn't soo important, right now everyone is focused on offense, all young players like Luka, Tatum, Trae, Ja etc, etc, etc are killers in offense, but nobody of them plays elite defense and still, some of them have a shot to become all time players, Luka is one of them. If you win 5 titles, it doesn't matter if you are elite defender or not, if oyu have 5 titles with 5 finals MVPs you are clearly in the GOAT conversation.
As a demonstration of Kawhi's defensive greatness, we can realize that the second best player of the Bucks, Chris Middleton, in G1 and G2, did basically nothing against Kawhi
Can Brian give kawhi credit where it's due??? Mans is like Giannis let him off the hook. What kind of BS is this? Kawhi played great defense on Giannis and that's that
Because Brian EatHorse gets fat living off Lebron's fame writing nothing but biographys all Lebrons James life and always seems to take it personal when someone does better than Lebron, just look at the history of how he's reacted over the years when a player gets more attention over Lebron... Curry, Kawhi and so on. All Brain EatHorse life he's made lebron seem like a god in his books and made money doing it so he always tries to somehow takes away that shine from another player that's either done better than james or made him look foolish, Kawhi has done that over the years and so has Steph Curry, both players most likely will surpass Lebron in championship rings so you go figure my point...
@@connorsmith6517, you mean the flopper? Did he play through pain as well like how he popped his mangina? Pippen's teammate had the same groin injury like Lebron but he played through the pain. He was injured March of 89 then in May of the same year, he aggravated his groin injury in game 2 of the 89 Eastern semifinals and was sent to the locker room after scoring just 15, his lowest in playoffs, but in the next 3 games against the physical Knicks, you know how many points he did during those painful games? Averaged 41.25 pts in the next 4 games and subsequently eliminated Ewing's Knicks. His statline in game 3 after his 15 pt slump: 40 pts 15 reb 9 ast 6 stls 1 blk...
So 25 points from siakam isn't help? 16 and 12 from gasol? 19 from Powell? Lowrys hand is busted up but he still played well......it's just the bench guys have been unreliable as fuck besides Ibaka and Powell

You cant lock him up like that by preventing him to score... you can do that on a player like Melo or even Kawhi, if you lock down his scoring he doesnt bring any offense because he isnt a good passer, giannis does, because he pulls more players towards him(kawhi didnt lock him down alone it was always double teams) and he is a very good passee
@@catherinelynnfraser2001 I hear you but I know Lowry and other players there are capable of scoring 20+ consistently and I don't see that consistently. He's always at 40 and the closest is at like 17 points. He needs a second All star caliber performance beside his nightly.
PRIS i couldn’t agree with you more. I think if he told his teammates to be aggressive and let it fly that they would play above their potential. Kawhi is simply the best player in the NBA and such a proven closer.
CPGoat #3 Refused to play for Spurs. Demanded trade.

His game is similar to Scottie. He a two way player. Think about it when Jordan was gone Scottie had to hold it down. Watch how Scottie play through out that whole season and watch Kawhi. You will see where I'm coming from.
Truly Bless defensively, yes. Offensively they’re two completely different players. Kawhi can score from anywhere’s. Pippen couldn’t. Pippen was a decent scorer and better passer.

Rambo The Fucking Machine that’s disrespectful. But Kawhi does play like 96 Jordan. Not as athletic as first threepeat but not as worn down as he was by 1998.

Not only did he play but he played well and the Bulls wouldn't have won that game without him. It was a heroic performances. You could see that he was in excruciating pain the whole time watching him.
Giannis 5 years ago was playing in the second division of Greek league. No highschool in USA, No college, No competition in this level. Within 5 years he became a top 5 nba player. He lead his team with 60 wins. And he is in eastern finals with BUCKS, who were struggling for many years. 5 years only! Imagine if he was highshcool or at least at college in USA back then. He is one of a kind! I think its the first time since Lebron's debut, to see a player like him with these king of physical stats. He deserves already at least one ring in his career.
This dude is "old school".... just goes out and plays.... the ONLY thing I can find fault in his resumè is that he went to SDSU.... and that's because I'm a UNLV fan! Lol
Scotty Pippen, thank you, thank you for your kind words. The thing that concerns me is in game 4 Kawhi looked more in distress than he did in game 3. Hopefully, Kawhi does not look more distressed in game 5 than he did in game 4. If this happens, I doubt if Kawhi can play through this injury!
Tyrone Cunningham don’t blame the Spurs organisation. They did absolutely everything they could to support him. He didn’t handle that situation well at all and did himself no favours. Sure he’s playing great atm, but don’t be blind to how bad the guy has handled some things. And if it wasn’t for the Spurs, you wouldn’t even know his name.
Scottie used the right word for Kawhi is is an absolute beast. I like to call him the silent killer, he does not celebrate on the court nor give trash talk, he is just 100% focused that's why I absolutely love this man.....Jeez Kawhi is entertaining to watch
Bucks fan here: obviously I love giannis and he’s my favorite player. But outside of that idk why kawhi doesn’t get talked about more he does it on both ends and doesn’t have an ego. him and Kobe the closest players style wise to Jordan.
Zech Wilson because the league is covered by TMZ reporters and analysts like Rachel Nichols and Colin Cowherd that just love drama more than anything. They don’t have much journalistic integrity when it comes to covering the actual games. Kawhi has easily been the best player during the playoffs but doesn’t get covered like he should because he simply provides no drama or fuss. But I find him so refreshing. Closest we will ever get to watching MJ again.
Jeffrey Youngblood not really. NFL Prime Time does a much better job of covering the things that are relevant. They would never let a bad Cowboys season hijack their show everyday the way Rachel allows a bad Lakers season.
I like Kawhi's performance, but what i don't like is people discrediting and disrespecting Giannis, bruh! Yeah it was an atrocious game from him but man c'mon all players do have bad games and these mofos disregarded all of Giannis' previous monstrous performances due to a bad game, toxic fans man.
Kawhi is ferocious. I wish today's younger ppl got to experience Scottie. He checked such a wide range of players, and shut them down. Scottie would come down on a break and finish with consistency. Much like kd, despite the height difference. MJ and Scottie were the best 1-2 punch I can remember. Maybe shaq and Kobe. But I still go 23/33 for both ends of the court.
@@dailyyoutuber5975 ...Well, if that's the case, the similarities start from Julius Erving, where it all began. Pippen and Jordan borrowed elements from The Doctor.
Angel Matos They probably can’t actually afford him regularly. I’d be willing to bet his retirement check is better than any paycheck that ESPN want to pay him
I will always respect scotties opinion on who is a good defender, when you've actually WATCHED scottie played defense back then and hear him praise Kawhi on his defense....nothing but respect for Kawhi on being a defender in a almost no-defense league.
Bucks might lose this series i think the Raptors have figured out Giannis by putting Kawhi on him Giannis being 1-9 when Kawhi was his primary defenders no coincidence if people believe Kawhi cant continue to clamp Giannis remember this Kawhi clamped up prime Lebron with a far more advanced offensive skillset than Giannis currently has
@barov Jalal The only thing that gives him comfort is his team losing to a team that makes the finals. But if Raptors lose to the Bucks, all it will do is show how mediocre the Sixers are.
@@Barovjalal Well i didnt know Kawhi could clamp Giannis i was in the mindset Giannis was too tough of a matchup for Kawhi because of his length and strength
@@joeyportia6476 What you said about me wanting the Raptors to win the series is for comfort of my team is ridiculous ill tell u this tho it helps the Sixers tremendously when it comes to the overlook of where the team is if it turns out they went 7 with the ECF champion Raptors
Lin is probably super rusty right now. Hopefully practicing with the team (Lowry should do the same LOL) during the summer and playing a decent amount during the season should make him effective in the playoffs in 2020 :). Lin is an incredible player when healthy and given some freedom :)
Lin is nothing. just like FV I understand the Chinese fan base might wanna promote him online but it’s not gonna work... Sorry Raptors bench was destroyed with the trade, there’s nothing left they’re all garbage
@@wilsonacosta9148 he was balling in Atlanta but hey lets not give him minutes when he can actually produce something FVV has been nothing but freaking disappointing you seen him do shit in the court since the playoffs started?
Basketballfan15 I totally agree with you Vanvleet and Green aren’t producing anything on this playoffs, but Lin is not the answer for Milwaukee, maybe PMccaw that dude who came from GSW should see some minutes and Norman ....to be honest with you that trade was a mistake in my opinion, the Raptors didn’t need to send their bench for one aging man ( Gasol) I liked the Kawhi/ DeRozan trade though!
I'm a Celtics fan, but I wished we did all we could to get Kawhi back then. Apparently, the trade offer was not enough. He was a special talent; helping to blowout the Warriors until he got injured. I love Jordan's game and I'll say this guy here has that mold. Also, he's very humble, probably learned a thing or two from the great Timmy D. Good luck Kawhi!!
Kawhi isnt a crybaby he is a beast

But he didn't want to play for the Spurs last season after being cleared. Just saying

This dude is "old school".... just goes out and plays.... the ONLY thing I can find fault in his resumè is that he went to SDSU.... and that's because I'm a UNLV fan! Lol
Bobby Scarfo as an Aztec, didnt you guys win a NCAA tourny tho? lol greetings from SD
@@2glizzyy 103-73 vs Duke....and Laettner....top 10 happiest moments in my sports world! Hahaha
Scotty Pippen, thank you, thank you for your kind words. The thing that concerns me is in game 4 Kawhi looked more in distress than he did in game 3. Hopefully, Kawhi does not look more distressed in game 5 than he did in game 4. If this happens, I doubt if Kawhi can play through this injury!
The more Kawhi plays like Kawhi, the worse the Spurs organization looks.
Tyrone Cunningham ...San Antonio and Kawhi Anthony Leonard had settled their differences, and all is forgiven. Let it go, Tyrone.
Tyrone Cunningham don’t blame the Spurs organisation. They did absolutely everything they could to support him. He didn’t handle that situation well at all and did himself no favours. Sure he’s playing great atm, but don’t be blind to how bad the guy has handled some things. And if it wasn’t for the Spurs, you wouldn’t even know his name.
@@00Mindi00 lol spurs would have injured his ass
If Kawhi Leonard and the raptors beat the Bucks ... Kawhi should win MVP.
2:14 Klaw causing jump ball versus attacking Giannis with one hand. Crazy Strength. Then, snatched the tip from the jump ball with one hand. 🤦♂️
Love Leonard , he’s so great that nobody knows the real potential of this guy , even Kawahi didn’t knows it
The difference with Kawhi & other great players is that he neverrrr complains, neverrrr flops
like lebum
Scottie used the right word for Kawhi is is an absolute beast. I like to call him the silent killer, he does not celebrate on the court nor give trash talk, he is just 100% focused that's why I absolutely love this man.....Jeez Kawhi is entertaining to watch
Bucks fan here: obviously I love giannis and he’s my favorite player. But outside of that idk why kawhi doesn’t get talked about more he does it on both ends and doesn’t have an ego. him and Kobe the closest players style wise to Jordan.
Pop is literally sick right now. Lol.
Zech Wilson because the league is covered by TMZ reporters and analysts like Rachel Nichols and Colin Cowherd that just love drama more than anything. They don’t have much journalistic integrity when it comes to covering the actual games. Kawhi has easily been the best player during the playoffs but doesn’t get covered like he should because he simply provides no drama or fuss. But I find him so refreshing. Closest we will ever get to watching MJ again.
@@omieg89 so they are like most of the media, sports or not. LMAO
Jeffrey Youngblood not really. NFL Prime Time does a much better job of covering the things that are relevant. They would never let a bad Cowboys season hijack their show everyday the way Rachel allows a bad Lakers season.
Getloose360 no question 😂
I like Kawhi's performance, but what i don't like is people discrediting and disrespecting Giannis, bruh! Yeah it was an atrocious game from him but man c'mon all players do have bad games and these mofos disregarded all of Giannis' previous monstrous performances due to a bad game, toxic fans man.
“Dunked on Patrick Ewing really hard” Why y’all do Ewing like that?💀
Kawhi leonard is the best depender not green.Leonard is the mvp.
are you filipino?
Kawhi has a chance of being the greatest SF of all time. Don’t let stat padding LeBron James fool you.
Lol nah
This comment will make more sense in a few years
his voice is a match for morgan freeman’s
In Scottie bio " dunk on patrick ewing really hard" 🤣🤣
Kurt man 😂😂💯💯💯😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
0:17 dunked on Patrick Ewing really hard, Secretary of Defense ahahahahahah
Beast
From one great defender to another. If you get praise from Pippen on the defensive end, you're a beast
Scottie Pippen secretary of defence😂
"dunked on Patrick Ewing really hard" lmao
Just imagine where would Raptors be now without Kawhi.
CW Ye on the couch watching the playoffs lol
Don't need to imagine, that's why he's there.
CW Ye we go see next year when he ain't there
Out in the first round
Love the dunk on P.E for stat for Scottie
2:27 So an INJURED KAWHI can basically STOP DEAD a HEALTHY GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO
Velha Guarda Tricolor He said it took a team effort to stop Giannis ☠️
@@suus01 As he should being such a humble guy! But the fact remain!
Kawhi is ferocious. I wish today's younger ppl got to experience Scottie. He checked such a wide range of players, and shut them down. Scottie would come down on a break and finish with consistency. Much like kd, despite the height difference. MJ and Scottie were the best 1-2 punch I can remember. Maybe shaq and Kobe. But I still go 23/33 for both ends of the court.
Did anybody read scottie pippen resume about Patrick Ewing 🤣😂🤣😂 I'm sleep
I never seen 2 broken ankles with
1 crossover.
LOL
Teddy he only did it to Brogdon, Giannis tripped over Brogdon.
Kawhi is a beast, BUCKS IN 5
david james 🙄
@Mark W Craptors were lucky to win game 3. Bucks are the much better team!
@@davidjames5448 Give a Kawhi a team like Giannis he will sweep the shit out of the Bucks and that is facts
@Mark W They will don't worry about it Drake just have to get that Bucks Jersey and everything will be fine 😂😂🤣😂
@@67Zo Drake was just caught blowing the super fan 😂😂😂
Kawhi's game is the perfect combination of Michael Jordan and Scottie pippen....
He dunk like an old MJ
@@thevinceberry lol
daily youtuber ...Jordan was a Shooting Guard. Leonard is a Small Forward. Two different positions.
@@brucescott4261 I'm not talking about the position... I'm talking about similarities in their game
@@dailyyoutuber5975 ...Well, if that's the case, the similarities start from Julius Erving, where it all began. Pippen and Jordan borrowed elements from The Doctor.
Raptors in 7
absolutely facts
Y’all trippin boa Milwaukee gon kill y’all niggas
@Mr Serious I hope man.
I hope so
Don't see it tho
Imagine being so good that your coach wants you out there while you are injured.. imagine being better than your teammates injured lol
When Pippen was talking about his team mate, he was talking about Luc Longley.
He a beast that's right
Kawhi is going to have to score 35 to 40 a game for them to win the series
John Mayes he will be gassed out by the finals then lose to GS
@@AqwDragulum thsys what you have to do if you want to be a champion
I gave a like to the video as soon as it started with discussion rather than 75% of the video of Rachel talking
knock it off windy. raps shoulda won G1 they would be up 2-1.... outta 3 games so far toronto has looked like better team for more of the time
0:16 “dunked on Patrick Ewing really hard”😂😂
Scottie should be permanent on ESPN
Angel Matos They probably can’t actually afford him regularly. I’d be willing to bet his retirement check is better than any paycheck that ESPN want to pay him
I will always respect scotties opinion on who is a good defender, when you've actually WATCHED scottie played defense back then and hear him praise Kawhi on his defense....nothing but respect for Kawhi on being a defender in a almost no-defense league.
Why is kawhi not in the mvp discussion he damn nere the best player in the world
He didn't play enough games and this coming from a raps fan. But he definitely the post season mvp
jessie slaughter just bc he missed about 20 games. Not being sarcastic, if he played all 82 he def would be an mvp candidate
Secretary of Defense lol I love it as well as dunking really hard on Pat
Go go raptors win win beat bucks and warriors. Go go.
Thank you to scotty for saying kawhi had a lot of help on d
0:16 at first it was a funny joke but at this point espn is just being disrepectful 😂😂😂😂😂
Juls Bulls “Dunked on Patrick Ewing really hard” lmao ik he was mad ash when he saw that. 😂😂😂
Kawhi is a "cyborg from the future." He should have been in Avengers.
Watching that man play, I'm waiting for someone to scratch him so we can see the shiny steel beneath his skin.
Bucks might lose this series i think the Raptors have figured out Giannis by putting Kawhi on him Giannis being 1-9 when Kawhi was his primary defenders no coincidence if people believe Kawhi cant continue to clamp Giannis remember this Kawhi clamped up prime Lebron with a far more advanced offensive skillset than Giannis currently has
Refund HD but the other day u were punking the raptors saying that the sixers would be a better matchup🤔
@barov Jalal The only thing that gives him comfort is his team losing to a team that makes the finals. But if Raptors lose to the Bucks, all it will do is show how mediocre the Sixers are.
@@Barovjalal Well i didnt know Kawhi could clamp Giannis i was in the mindset Giannis was too tough of a matchup for Kawhi because of his length and strength
@@joeyportia6476 What you said about me wanting the Raptors to win the series is for comfort of my team is ridiculous ill tell u this tho it helps the Sixers tremendously when it comes to the overlook of where the team is if it turns out they went 7 with the ECF champion Raptors
Refund HD What about the other 2 games? U think kwahi Will clamp him again?
That's really high praise coming from the "secretary of defense"
Thumbs up is you think KWAHI is the clutches in the nba
Scottie Peppin have a very deep radio voice
Kawhi Jordan 🙏💛
He doesn’t need to talk,the way he plays the game does it for him
Hey Raptors maybe you should play Lin instead of FVV
Lin is probably super rusty right now. Hopefully practicing with the team (Lowry should do the same LOL) during the summer and playing a decent amount during the season should make him effective in the playoffs in 2020 :). Lin is an incredible player when healthy and given some freedom :)
Lin is nothing. just like FV I understand the Chinese fan base might wanna promote him online but it’s not gonna work... Sorry Raptors bench was destroyed with the trade, there’s nothing left they’re all garbage
@@wilsonacosta9148 he was balling in Atlanta but hey lets not give him minutes when he can actually produce something FVV has been nothing but freaking disappointing you seen him do shit in the court since the playoffs started?
Basketballfan15 I totally agree with you Vanvleet and Green aren’t producing anything on this playoffs, but Lin is not the answer for Milwaukee, maybe PMccaw that dude who came from GSW should see some minutes and Norman ....to be honest with you that trade was a mistake in my opinion, the Raptors didn’t need to send their bench for one aging man ( Gasol) I liked the Kawhi/ DeRozan trade though!
@S S at least the guy will score
Rest in peace George❤️🙏
"Duked on Patrick Ewing really hard"
Understatement
I'm a Celtics fan, but I wished we did all we could to get Kawhi back then. Apparently, the trade offer was not enough. He was a special talent; helping to blowout the Warriors until he got injured. I love Jordan's game and I'll say this guy here has that mold. Also, he's very humble, probably learned a thing or two from the great Timmy D. Good luck Kawhi!!
Scottie pippen... secretary of defense
“dunked on patrick ewing really hard” why need to include that?! 😂
