Best playoffs of the 2010’s
Best Coaches of The Decade?
Upload streak is litty - someone who doesn't watch twitch or podcast
Bruh dirk been snuped he should be number 1 what kind of disrespectful shit is this dom
You should a ranking of all the losing finals teams
Don't do that to Lebron 😂😂😂
2019 Warriors (if you don't consider the injuries) > 2014 Spurs > 2016 Warriors > 2011 Heat... Who else?
Matt M. 2016 warriors? 2019 was way better they just got injured
@@miltongarces9475 LMAO
@@Matt-os2zn they were thin, yeah but if everyone on the 2019 warriors was fully healthy, they'd win off the firepower of their stars alone. Cmon, nobody is messing with a starting lineup of 5 all-stars all in their primes, and 2 top 5 players, and then Iguodala, Livingston and Looney off the bench. No they're not as deep, but no team ever is stopping that. We only ever saw a couple short glimpses of what that team could do, and I'm glad we didn't see more
Dom forgot to mention that Dirk played Game 4 with a 102 fever. 🐐
When Alex Caruso lead the lakers to the chip in 2010. Neva forget!!
OKTrey5 you mean 1910? I think he carried the lakers to the top seed
Malachi Vitale nah bruh it was 42069 when he was really balling. Man I remember 40,050 years in the future.
Black and Bald Mamba got it done👌👍👌👍👌👍
I think I gotta go:
- Dirk for the best storyline (overcoming the big 3 heat and finally getting his chip)
- LeBron for the best basketball performance (mans was carrying harder than I’ve ever seen)
- Kawhi for the best moment (the iconic shot to end the 76ers)
Dont forget Dirk beat OKC, Durant, Westbrook, you can discount Harden as he was young, Dirk beat repeating champs of Kobe and Pau, and Prime lmarcus was no joke. He had the hardest trip, and finally willed himself to a chip.
It was crazy how dirk and the Mavericks destroyed the lakers and thunder
08:02 damn how deep was that scoop
T(a)ko shit was N A S T Y
It seems I'll never get over of that game one of the 2018 NBA finals. Bron deserved the W.
Exactly I remember watching that game feeling so much joy watching LeBron will that team to at least one W. Then George hill and JR made me completely sick to my stomach 😔
George Hill i could let slide. J.R however.............
LeBron quit in overtime
@@barterbrayson4370 yh i would extremely deflated and down if i had a 45 point triple double and was balling out only for some bum ass role player to ruin the game I would quit.
Before watching the video I'd have to say Dirk. Dirk went through everyone in the west and won a ring.
Facts. Kobe, Duncan, KD, Bron.
Paul Cervantes spurs lost in the first round that year to Memphis
@@atribecalledlen3567 you replied to the wrong person
Paul Cervantes I think that’s kinda how one gets to the finals...
@@abduugas you're too literal. Educate yourself
bron hit the finals 7/10, did he win 7? no, but “great players” struggle making the playoffs while bron is out here carrying some players found with the rucker park old heads with a spot up kevin love. ik this is about a one season run, but lebron owns the “decade”, everyone had a season run, bron had a decade run.
Exactly
Facts
Don’t even really need a video. The answer is Dirk. 🐐
Domonic Decoco facts
Just let the like number be 41
Yea .. swept the defending champs.. and then embarrassed the heat... also beat the thunder... yea it’s him.. Kawhi is my favorite player, but the only way he beats that is if he beats a fully healthy warriors team
Facts
@@rohankapur8644 if warriors were at full health. Kawhi loses, and maybe gets swept. If that would've happened, Lebron's run would be more impressive than Kawhi's because of how trash his team was compared to the 2019 Raptors. But Dirk takes the cake regardless
I’m just happy Don uploading daily over the holidays
Once Brandon Roy scared the crap out of the Mavs while playing on his pinky toe.That is when Mavs got their act together like it was their last shot at a title. I have to go with the Mavs playoff run despite them sweeping my Lakers smh.
I’m a lebron fan but I won’t give it to him. Dirk was by far the best one !!! He beat Kobe and kd team ‼️‼️‼️🤧😤
And spurs
NBA Confidential your right I’m thinking a little further back when Dirk eliminated Duncan
Okeythegoat 23 not only beat Kobe as the reigning champion but swept him, love Lebron and everything but that was insane
Somregularguy lebron was much worse due to him having bosh and wade with him. That year Kobe was the only one fighting Pau and Bynum was dazed and Odom wasn’t the same.
Okeythegoat 23 Kawhi’s run was better. Played better teams and was more dominant.
The intro without the "welcome" just doesn't hit the same
1. 2011 Dirk (Toughest path, played sick and hurt)
2. 2019 Kawhi (Beat a superteam, played hurt)
3. 2018 LeBron (Absolutely incredible, just loses by default since he wasn't able to win a finals game, thanks to J. R.)
What superteam did he beat? The sixers weren’t a superteam, the bucks weren’t a superteam, the warriors weren’t a superteam by the time they got to the finals
The magic
Ur a kid for sure
@Todd The God Gurley He also beat a stacked sixers team and a 60 win bucks team. What's the excuse for those series?
Comparing stats from 2011 Dirk to 2019 Kawhi is misleading. There are a lot more possession now, 50/60 points games is everywhere, but they used to be a rarity. When you adjust their PPG to per 100 possessions, actually both Dirk and Kawhi averages 39 points, and Lebron average 42.
Dirk & Kawhi will most definitely be up there
@@Matt-os2zn nah, 2018 LeBron over 2016
@@Matt-os2zn 2016 LeBron. But that LeBron had Kyrie and Love when he was still a decent option most times. Let's also not forget that the 2016 warriors didn't have KD, and let's also not forget that the teams that they played in the East were much weaker compared to 2018, especially when you factor in the fact that LeBron's third best player in 2018 was probably Thompson, and he almost beat the KD and Steph SuperWarriors in game 1, but JR Smith... Anyways, let's also not forget that Draymond's ban and Steph and Bogut's nagging injuries played a big part in the 3-1 comeback, although it was impressive nonetheless. The 2016 Cavs could have gotten swept by the Pistons, the 2018 Cavs either put up a fight or destroyed any team in the East (Toronto). Furthermore, the 2018 Cavs had worse seeding, and in theory (and practice) had tougher matchups in the East, and had to face a better warriors team, and without Kyrie, and with the empty, hollow carcasses of JR and Thompson and some other people who I wouldn't recognise if they were in front of me with a billboard of themselves behind them. LeBron carried the 2018 Cavs, whereas he was the largest part of a team in 2016. Case closed
@@EmmanuelMoralesPetti kevin love didn't avenger over 15 points lol
@@dlowjames4549 And just how efficient was he? Cause that plays a rather large part. Wouldn't you agree? And is that really your only rebuttal to everything I said?
@@EmmanuelMoralesPetti he was fucking ass in 2016 that's all ima say
Dawg I audibly gasped when he said Dirk was 3 lmao
Dom has been steadily losing his touch lately. If he keeps this up he might reach clown status by mid 2020.
Here’s my ranking:
1) Kawhi Leonard - Statistically a historical run. Played the best comp (had to go through 2 championship contenders before the finals). Hella clutch. Was the leader of the 2nd best defensive team since the 04 Pistons.
2) Dirk - Led the Mavericks to arguably the most improbable championship in league history. Finished series before 7. Swept the defending champion Lakers, the Thunder (who went to the finals the next year), and finally, dismantled the Miami Heat Superteam in 6. Hella clutch. Won the chip.
3) 17-18 LeBron. But honestly, I’d rank the 2012 LeBron run higher than his final run in Cleveland. Moreover, I think any Superstar could have more or less replicated LeBron’s run in the East that year. The best team he faced was the Raptors, and even though people clown them for getting swept, 2 of those 4 games were decided by 1 point.
Jean-Patrice Paluku Uhm, wrong. Jordan and Kawhi have got the numbers as well, which is all LeBron had in the 2018 season. And Kevin Love was an All Star, so better than the 07 Cavs team (which were a defensive juggernaut in their own right). Moreover, the strength of opponents LeBron had to go through is a far cry compared to Kawhi and Dirk’s.
I’m not diminishing anything, just stating the facts. People love to praise LeBron but don’t look at the context. He played weak competition. That’s all.
Bucks and Sixers aren’t unproven, they’re proven. They proved it in the postseason... You’re overhyping LeBron’s run.
@@abduugas Complete bs and lies about Lebron and his run
If Dirk’s Mavericks in 2011 should for sure is number 1
Tf are you saying
I just had a fuckin stroke
Hell naw! I can name half the Squad. Did you watch that Playoffs?!
Emeka Ekwulugo Dirk easily
UnexpectedWonder They most definitely didn’t. Most of Dom’s audience is composed of kids, so when they see he beat the likes of Kobe, KD, etc, they assume he had the goat run lol. Dirk really only dominated the WCF.
Kawhi was absolutely the least impressive. He had the best team out of the three and only won because the Warriors were injured. You can't just say that he won a ring. Bron would've beaten those Warriors too, and he would've played way better than Kawhi too. Gotta give that shot against the Sixers to Kawhi, but let's just not act like Bron didn't have multiple clutch performances and buzzer beaters.
Kawhi beat a team with 4 all stars and a championship caliber bucks team that had the mvp Giannis and all star Khris Middleton. Not to mention the fact that kawhi was down 0-2 against the bucks, and came back to win in 6 once he started guarding the MVP. Kawhi is the reason he had the best team out of the three.
Dom: The W against the Celtics without their two best players doesn't impress me
Also Dom: GSW had lots of injuries but in the end the W is all that matters
That's why we love you 😂😂
Literal hypocrisy! It's okay as long as Steph loses 😅
@@FoxyChariot I remember when Dom basically said that d rose deserved 2011 mvp over lebron because he did more with less while having worse stats. He now says LeBron doesn’t deserve the 2018 mvp.
None:
Dom: alright so check it out
kawhi gets traded to toronto, in his first and only season he brings them their only finals appearance and championship and decides to take off, Kawhi just built different bruh
Top 10 players of the 2010s were waiting for it!!!!!
Def The Mavs No Doubt😤 💯
Dunk on 8:03 is so unique
I gotta go with bron because that was that year where he was just putting up these numbers and thay game winner vs Indiana gave them a 3-2 lead and that really impressed me because I thought that was a lottery team with almost any other superstar and for him just to make it was amazing
Imagine not winning the ring and still being able to be in this list #goatshit
Damn, and imagine if he could beat his teammates and refs too, he is together with AI in their situation but in the end it wasn't a win.
Your intros here always remind me of Smoove’s old GTA intros for his 2k videos
Kyle Korver in 2018. Nigga was legitimately the second best player till the finals and was actually the only person trying in defense most of the time.
I'm a raptors fan and when I watched the series against philly, kawhi literally backpacked our team. He dragged our playoff slump team and made us believe we can win. His iconic buzzer was incredible and changed the story of the run. He also slowed down and was a key factor stopping the mvp in giannis which brought us to our first finals. Espn still thought the warriors would win but Kawhi and the raptors had all the momentum and could've easily swept the injured warriors team. He did this all and had the stats to prove it. Fast forward to this season now we have a championship team and we know we can win 💯💯
Kawhi run is overrated, other than vs the Sixers it doesn’t compare to Dirk and LeBron. Raptors supporting cast doesn’t get enough credit against the Bucks and the Warriors were injured
sammy true
Especially with how all the raptors guys now are playing with more touches goes to show how great that raptors team was and it wasn’t a one man kawhi show
So lebrons path to the finals in 2018 had actual comp? Dude went to 7 games with the pacers and barely beat the Celtics without Kyrie. Kawhi played against a finals ready 76ers team with the closer in jimmy butler and against the bucks where kawhi v giannis was a physical mismatch yet kawhi still proved his dominance. And he ACTUALLY WON A RING. ALL IN HIS FIRST AND ONLY YEAR WITH THE FRANCHISE.
@@Slxndrr what about dirk? He's talking about Dirk AND Lebron, not just Lebron. Don't let your hate for Lebron cloud your judgment
Mr.E point to where i showed hatred towards lebron and ill shut up.
Kawhi's playoff-run 2019 is much more impressive than LeBron in 2018.
How?
No it's not he got very lucky but he did lead his team to victory
As a team run, but as an individual run it’s obviously lebron,
Angel Dionisio facts
The bucks- raptors series was less difficult for Kawhi than the sixers series dom. They even said that. That's why the series went 6 games
Doms going to do massive numbers this month with all these uploads.
Dom coming in with that quality content per usual
The Dallas team wasnt taken seriously not because Dirk didn't have a co-star, it was more so because of their trash performance against GSW losing as a dominant 1 seed. That was a thing for a minute. Im so glad Dallas won a title after that debacle.
Rondo 2010 playoffs run is underrated because they lost . Just bringing it up not tryna say he had the best
I gotta switch up with you LeBron Kawhi Dirk as individuals, not to mention you forgot to mention that Boston was undefeated at home in the ‘18 playoffs and we’re the second best defensive team in the league without Kyrie and Hayward and he won
i disagree with your argument for kawhi tho, the warriors in the finals were even more injured than the celtics for lebron, so the fact that kawhi won and lebron didnt win doesnt really mean as much to me, along with the fact that there were some games where it was mostly the other raptors leading the charge
Yeah but that years bucks and sixers would have annihalated lebrons Cleveland
Kwesi afriyie-blay The 2019 Finals Warriors would still run through the East in 2018, so I’m not sure why you’re comparing them to a Celtics team led by Rookies and Sophmores, lol. Moreover, LeBron ran through a ridiculously weak East. relative to Kawhi and Dirk’s runs, it’s not all that impressive (Save for the stats, which were obviously inflated by the weak comp).
@@abduugas yeah but hey we finally got that lebron v Kobe matchup. Lebrons weak ass defense had everyone calling a rookie Tatum Kobe 2.0
Luke Morath True 🤣🤣
Abdu Ugas Ur giving those injured Warriors a little too much credit. Without KD n Klay, they are not “running through” anybody. Especially if those injuries occur suddenly in the playoffs.
Lebron has the best INDIVIDUAL playoff run of the decade, just from the perspective of one guy playing all time great basketball to will his team to victories. Championship or not I’d never seen someone play basketball at the level Lebron played at in the 2018 playoffs. And I’ve been watching NBA ball since 08
False as fuck Lebron coasted through eastern conference and got bailed out by refs in finals as well as Kyrie barely. Dirk went through Kobe, Duncan, and KD then went on to defeat Lebron wade and bosh. Easily the most dominant.
To me, it’s Dirk. Kawhi with a close second. (Lebron didn’t win a ring in 18, and the competition was much weaker)
Jay Waz the warriors were weak?
ExcessFinesse Every team they beaten were weak 🤷♀️
Kawhi objectively played worse than lebron
Robert Sterling Jebediah Archer Freeman Nobody except Raptors fans ever thought they would make the playoffs. Everyone thought the sixers would win, then bucks, then warriors. Everyone knew the cavs would get out of the east. Kawhi played fantastic up until the finals where he was alright
@@jaywaz680 Even in the finals he averaged 29 for that series
Dom really saving up for them Christmas presents
How do you make even get these courts and players to look like this 🤦🏿♂️🔥
The blacktop courts been 🔥🔥
SBG YT how do you play on that court?
I think people forget how easy lebrons 2016 run was besides the finals because their was really no competition outside of the warriors in the finals
Respect the fact you put in 2018 LeBron because people usually wouldn't do that based off him not winning the championship
LeBron... Because he's LeBron. 34 8 and 9 through the entire Playoffs and 34 9 10 1 and 1 in the Finals. I rest my case.
Lebron 2009 or 2018 run was the best I will go with 2018
Bro i just want to say Kahwi 2017 playoff run also so impressive if it's not because of Zaza,i believe that Kahwi Will win the chip . He was carrying that old spurs team in the first round vs Memphis (which he making clutch shot after clutch shot) then in second round vs Houston he also carrying with game winner shot followed by the game winning block and also lock up Harden to 3-17 in one of those game .then in WCF he also torching the warrior before he went down because Zaza dirty play. and the spurs also up 21 points before Kahwi get injured and after that warrior making a run and swept the series.that show you how much impact and carrying job that Kahwi done .
You should do the best Christmas games of the decade
I think the funniest shit in the world would be a repeat of Lebronto this year.
Lebrun had the best without question, kawhi's teammates were on anther star system to lebron's. I love kawhi, but I think he gets too much credit for that run. A historic run deifneitnley, but I think if you replace him with a Lebrun or a dirk in those series you get blowout wins, because the raptors had ridiculous defense and good supporting pieces. Between Kyle Lowry, Mark gasoline, siakam, and van fleet, along with kawhi, you could argue they had 4 all star caliber player on their starting 5. meanwhile, Lebrun had an over the mountain Kevin love, and non 2015 Kyle korver. They didn't even have good defense like the raptors, and they had inferior team offense. Lebrun literally was the 2018 cavs, and I think that team making it to the finals should be compared with Allen inversion's 2001 76rs.
MJ would ask: How many rings did this run bring?
You are only in this discussion when you have won titles!
for me, # 41 not even scarce
@@funkonede My boy, Lebron has 3. He didn't win one in 2018 because head one of the worst rosters in finals history going up against the KEVIN DURANT WARRIOR. Guarantee you, no player in history could've won that finals on that team, and it took a top 5 player in history (an two buzzer beaters) just to get them that far.
@@starfyre59 ok, in 2018 LeBron won nothing at the end, for each title he won he needed at least one Co Allstar, that's history, which will not change at Lakers in any case.
I love LeBron’s game, and he’s one of the greatest of all time, just like Dirk and a few others ... Because I love the game, I’m always a fan of blessed players, so I don’t care which statistics see who is ahead
I agree with you that Lebron's teammates were junk. In the end the run against the wall.
Where's the success?
LEbron cannot get more than pity for it. And in my view, he doesn't need that.
Lebron is one of the greatest ever.
But he definitely didn't have the best playoff run
@@funkonede I disagree but I respect your opinion. To me, when you're looking at an individual performance, context is everything, and that includes teammates and competition. Still though, I get where you're coming from.
Commenting before I watch this video: if dom doesnt say lebron 2018 I will honestly have a hard time forgiving him
At 1:27 I pick kawhi or dirk cuz they won it all
My ranking would be
1. Dirk
2. LeBron
3. Kahwi
1. Dirk's run was still in a lower scoring, lower paced era and still sweeping the Lakers, Beating the Thunder, and then Beating the Favorites Heat. No one expected that AT ALL. No commentators or anybody.
2. LeBron's is the most impressive individually, he activated basically all of his super powers. I mean he had a game winning block and shot vs the tough Pacers that some people thought would beat the Cavs because they were a good defensive team. Then absolutely tore the heart out of Toronto with game winning shots, they put basically every defender they could on LeBron and now owns the Raptors as the Lebronto Raptors. That series I remember Kevin Love's big game and Tristan played good too. Then the biggest to me was LeBron beating the Celtics who were I think undeafted at home during the playoffs, young and juiced team that JUST BEAT GIANNIS BUCKS in the series prior in like 5 or 6 games. People dont remember that this would of been the Finals Celtics team that beat the Sixers and Bucks if they get past LeBron, just like Kahwi and the Raptors were. And LeBron still pulls it out in 7 games with Daggers in Jayson Taytum's face in game 6 and Pulling it out with big plays in Game 7. Then the 49-51pts vs the Warriors where it seemed like the refs and everybody were against the Cavs and they should of won game 1.
3. Kahwi's run was amazing dont get me wrong but everybody doesn't mention little tid bits in the run. The 1st round was a yawner vs the Magic, The 2nd Round vs the Sixers JOEL EMBIID missed like 2 games because of being Sick or sore I don't think they expected to lose to the Raptors honestly. The series except for the game 7 game winner wasn't that entertaining it was nice to see Jimmy vs Kahwi but other than that, Simmons under performed not having a jumper, Embiid didn't play every game, Jimmy was good but new to the team they were still meshing, Tobias was ok. But still a good win by the Raptors and great series by Kawhi. The 3rd round vs the Bucks, they literally were about to lose until they put Kahwi on Giannis AND they just created a wall in the paint and forced the others to beat them. Eric Bledsoe played horrible, Coach Bud should of just stuck with George Hill, Brook Lopez was cold until the later games, and Giannis couldn't hit anything outside the Paint. Fred Vanvleet started getting Hot, Siakam was good as well. Then the Finals, Kahwi plays against basically the OG Warriors without the great bench, or Kevin Durant. Siakam took over game 1, Fred had a great series, Kyle mfn LOWRY started killin it, Serge played great, Marc Gasol played good along with Kahwi so it wasn't like Kahwi's dominance took over the series that was a whole team winning series with Kahwi propelling them. BUT STILL THEY ALMOST LOST TO THE WARRIORS before Klay went down in game 6. If Klay doesn't go down I think they win Game 6 and IDK if the raptors as a team is ready for the Warriors in ORACLE for game 7 championship but they did handle them in oracle in game 4 or 5.
But keepin it simple, NO ONE expected Dirk's run, LeBron's individually was the most impressive imo even with the finals loss, Kahwi's was almost as impressive as LeBron's but the Raptors weren't as unexpected and his team played great along side him in the later rounds so I have to rate it 3rd. I think the suprisingness in the 1st game 7 game winner and that the Raptors actually winning a championship helps him out.
Embiid played every game bro
Game 7 finals would of been in Toronto lol come on man
@@dirknol6131 Your right, but Embiid was sick in 2-3 of the games and didn't play like himself. It felt like he didn't play lol
Yea he seems to get the flu everytime he plays Toronto. Was he sick when he scored 0?
@@dirknol6131 lol probably, Marc Gasol the new Al Horford apparently, maybe the Sixers will bring in Gasol so Embiid doesn't have to face him too lol
Under valuing spicy P man scored 37 or 39 in his first finals game
32 and most were fast breaks or off of kawhis double teams, but they were times where he made draymond look average on defense, so props to him
Dirk's playoff run was the best of all time.
Lebron 2017- 18 playoffs was insane bro
2011 Mavs top the list, no question
For me it’s
1. Kawhi
2. Dirk
3. Lebron
All of them were insanely amazing though!
Run probably Kahwi because well I think you already gave enough arguments but if we only look at the Finals I’m definitely going with Dirk.
Jason Kidd was experienced, not old. old was Gary Payton in the 06 title. Kidd could still give 10 points, 5 assists and not be a defensive liability in the 11’ finals.
Best : 17 warriors
Most impressive : 2011 mavs .
Clear answers
Edit : okay we talking player . 2016 bron or 2011 dirk easy

I gotta give it to Lebron. Ik he didn’t win but his playoff run is the most dominant run I’ve seen individually
The fact that u said kawhis perfformacne over brons honestly is absurd Id like to debate this with you @dom
This is a huge face palm moment
Dude stop this..LET ME GET BACK TO MY LIFE 😂😂
JR Smith hard carrying Cavs in 2018. Would have won if lebron and the cavs showed up
great vid
3. Lebron 2018
2. Kawhi 2019
1. Dirk Nowitzki 2011
2011 Dallas Mavericks. Nobody, I mean nobody expected them to win. Specially when Brandon Roy torched the Mavs in Game 4 after trailing by 20
I'd say the Mavericks only because it was a chance at revenge as an underdog
I'd go with Dirk, Kawhi and LeBron.
Dirk is #1 because nobody expect Mavs to win. Not only that but he got redemption. Nobody talks about him getting his loss back in 2006. He finally got rid of his choker label.
Kawhi is #2 because he brought a championship to a franchise that has never tasted gold. His stats are historic and the Raptors run was amazing. However, people including Dom in this video(still love you bro) discredit how good this supporting cast was. The only team that beat the Raptors in the playoffs since 2016 were the Cavs and that still stands today. LeBron always had their number. Kawhi's Raptors cast were much better than Dirk's Mavericks.
LeBron's run is #3 because as good as his run was it just showed you how weak the East was. It's also not resulted with a championship. It was amazing how he took down the Raps but LeBron were always in their heads. Stats wise is better than anything I've seen since Jordan. Amazing but that lack of title really hurts him.
I vote dirk I think kawhi had a slightly better supporting cast and dirk had to play the full super team if LeBron won the ring in 2018 it wouldn't be close tho
“For #3 I have dirk” dirk precedes to get finished over by giannis
1. Dirk
2. LeBron
3. Kawhi
Dirk had the highest difficulty. He had to face Kobe's Lakers, the big three Thunder, and the Big Three Heat.
LeBron did the most amount of carrying with the least help and statistically, was easily. I cant put it above Dirk because the 2018 East was 10x weaker than the 2011 West and Dirk actually won while LeBron got swept. Yea, nobody expected the Cavs to win, but nobody expected the Mavs to either.
Kawhi had a very good supporting cast of Lowry, Siakam, Gasol, VanVleet, Ibaka, and Danny Green. His supporting cast is far better than either of the other 2. Plus, LeBron was the best player on the floor in the Finals for 2/4 gamest. Dirk was the best player for Games 2, 4, 5, and 6. Kawhi was the best player for maybe 2/6 games. Game 1 was either Curry or Siakam. Game 2 was Kawhi. Game 3 was Curry. Game 4 was Kawhi. Game 5 was Curry. Game 6 was Klay.
Damn you fucking snapped on :35 breh 😂😂 i was fucking eating
Where the "welcome" in the intro
Need to put film of people you talk about
I don’t know. LeBron was a serious powerhouse. He didn’t accomplish anything but he went against the best team in history. The team won 19 games after he left. Dirks team had very sneaky talent, and a LOT of role playing greatness without a costar. But, they had no business beating the Lakers or Miami. Kawhi...he played great, like he KILLED IT. But when it comes to the actual finals that was basically the Warriors 2014 chip.
gotta be Dirk. He beat everyone's relatively healthy full rosters without a defined co-star, add in the game 4 fever game too. And him obliteratong the "soft" "choker" narrative, i gotta give it to that 2011 mavs run. and he swept the fully healthy defending champs which was insane.
No doubt Kawhi's is a close second though, people clowned the bucks + giannis for his flaws now, but that year everyone thought he was going to the finals. And the bucks dismantled the celtics after the whole "its over" prediction from paul pierce, only for Kawhi+the raptors to expose him. the game 7 winner added to the lore of the run too + kawhi taking a franchise to the promised land after years of underperforming vs lebron.
The 2011 heat is a much harder opponent then the injured 2019 GSW imo. overall i think dirks is the best run.
I choose LeBron because if he was in the same situation as Kawhi, he would have the series too. In the finals, Kawhi had help, both defensively and offensively and on top of that No KD, No Klay basically, injured Kevin Looney, recovering Demarcus Cousins. Bron would have won that in 2018 especially with the help of guys like Vanvleet, Siakam and Ibaka
2019 Finals was even more impressive than he gets credit for. Of course the Warriors with KD would have won no question because they would have beat any team in history, but people talk the Warriors only had Steph and bums for the entire Finals. Cousins (while clearly unfit) played every game, Looney played 4 games, Klay only missed Game 3 and part of Game 6, Anunoby (the Raptors' 2nd best defender) missed the whole playoffs, Lowry had a broken finger, the same Warriors team without KD or Cousins swept the Rockets after KD's injury and swept the Blazers. Draymond had been amazing the whole West playoffs. Almost everyone had them as favorites going into the Finals. Toronto won 19 of the 24 quarters those Finals even including when everyone but KD was healthy
They were a better team than the Bucks that year overall tbh. Only won 2 less games while Lowry missed 17 of the games Kawhi played (and Kawhi missed another 20) so they won 58 games while having one of their two All-Stars out for half of the entire regular season. But Kawhi carried them against the Sixers when their size completely shut down the rest of the team, changed the Bucks series, and even the crippled Warriors were still good enough for Toronto to need him to dominate
Yeah plus Kawhi was already limping. I feel like most of us tuned out that finals because we were so sick of the Warriors and everyone was injured, so people don’t realize that it wasn’t actually that unbalanced.
Sachin Johri Klay not playing half the series and Durant only playing 10 minutes is pretty unbalanced to me
@@kohsmoger1567is 5/24 quarters "half" now? or 1 and a bit out of 6 games?
Bro look at the Raptors’s stats in the series. You could argue in multiple games that Kawhi didn’t even have the best performance or biggest impact on his own team
a z except he got hurt at the end of a game aswell culminating in at least two games
Individually it was Lebron, never seen anything like it and I don’t know if we will again, buzzer beater clutch shot moment after moment he couldn’t be stopped. Dirks was a much better story he beat much better teams and was just incredible. Kawhi was impressive, but he only individually won 2 series (lmao sound ridiculous but compared to Lebron and dirk it’s important), Kawhi played well but the worse of the 3.
Kawhi had easy finals, plus he shot under 45% twice with father fred and pascal to help
Themrajester2 father Fred....haven’t heard that in a minute 😂
But Kawhi also went against two finals level teams in the Sixers and the Bucks.
Themrajester2 bron had easy matchups leading up to the finals and gave up after game 1 of the finals
@@indmslikedeez8005 Everyone gave up. Game one was their one and only chance and JR blew it.
In DMS Like Deez my g. Do you realize who lebron had on his team that made it tuff to win.
LeBron has the best run easily. He literally did it all by himself. Kawhi had good teammates, LeBron didn’t.
I think it’s lebron just because almost every other game was a atg game but I think the point u missed in kawahis defense he was unbelievable on that end most in the cf

Individually imo
The Smoove hat is now available
I'd say LeBron over Kawahi. His competition may not have been as strong but his supporting cast was far far far worse.
I don't understand when people say that Kawhi had the only game seven series ending buzzer beater, didn't Dame do it in the first round of that exact season?
Eamon Wheatland That was game 5...
@@abduugas oh shit, I was always under the impression that it was 7 aha. Wasn't paying attention lol.
You should make this video in ur dom2k channel "Best Playoff run 2010's"
Kawhi considering what happened the previous year too
Imma Raptors fan so Kawhi will always have it for me but damn watching LeBron do what he did in 2018 had me thinking he could will the Cavs to a win against the Warriors. It had me delusional
There was no way Lebron was winning that title.
Defense is half the game. Kwahi guarded the best player on other team while doing that offensively.
Lowkey isaiah Thomas 2017 was a cool run
Dirk undoubtably
Day 1 of asking dom to do a Ranking the first seed teams throughout the 2010's (Part 1 and 2 for East and West)
This isn't Kenny's channel. Go away.
Dirk for sure
