How To Make Anything Sound Stupid He literally doesn't say anything different than what someone like Stephen A would say or Colin for that matter.. I don't get it
Broussard is talking a certain way to fit his narrative. MJ and Kareem played 3 and 4 years of college ball. The proper comparison is how OLD were you as the best player in the NBA, not your year in the league. If they had joined in at 18 like him, they'd probably have 8 and 7 MVP's respectively....
Designz R Us Kyrie a scorer lol that's what Lebron wants him to do. If they wanted Kyrie to be a playmaker they would have put more responsibility on him. All they want Kyrie to do is to put the ball in the basket, while Lebron guides the offense
Golden State's system doesn't revolve around KD and the Spurs philosophy has always been team ball, which means they won't collapse in their absence. Cavs, meanwhile, were specifically designed around Lebron, meaning if he's out they're completely fcked. It's like taking the sun out of the solar system. Give him a complementary scorer with average playmaking abilities, and a bunch of three point snipers, and they'll be good to go. But those snipers are useless if he's not there. If Lebron was surrounded by the kinds of shooters that Westbrook has, Cavs wouldn't be that good unless Lebron scored 40 every night. Obviously Lebron is still the best player but it's not entirely fair to use these win-loss differentials to judge a player. The Warriors are far worse without Draymond Green than they are without KD. Does that mean Draymond is a better player? No, it just means he's more valuable to that system.
CFB Fan You have horrible taste in sports commentary if you think Colin is better than him, this show would be much better with Doug and to be frank with most people not named Colin Cowherd, he is a sickening bronsexual and he is always changing his picks and contradicting himself, one of the worst on sports media.
Skoshi33 cuz they time to gel ..they never played more thn 1 or 2 games without Lebron ..give them one year without Lebum ..n they will be 10 times better thn this team ..lebum gives up 30 point on defense every game
Kobe24, Those same shooters were outcasts before Lebron. Lebron with his playmaking ability and being coached under coach Pop would make Aldridge and an Gasol look like a superstars
Kawhi is great but he isn't on LeBron level. I will put him ahead of KD for number 2 though. Especially since he has beaten LeBron in the finals and plays both ends of the floor which can't be said for KD. Especially if we're talking the totality of his career.
Kd plays both ends tho . And we are acting like Lebron didn't drop 28 ppg on 50 percent on Kawhi while Kawhi averaged around 15-17. I still have kd over Kawhi cuz he does everything Kawhi does but better (expect defense)
Yeah it's amazing, but he comparison is LeBron James. A legit argument can be made that LeBron has been the best player since he was like 23. Kawhi is amazing though; I ain't taking a damn thing away from him.
KD is going to make a defensive all team, so you don't know what you're talking about. Also, last year in the playoffs, KD shot 55% while Kawhi guarded him.
Commandosoap777 KD hasn't played both ends at a high level his entire career. He is doing it now because he jumped on a bandwagon and doesn't have to carry as much responsibility.
Nobody is the GOAT!! Basketball is a team sport and we should only be saying Greatest of our generation 80's: Magic Johnson/ Larry Bird 90's: Michael Jordan 00's: Kobe Bryant/Tim Duncan 10's: Lebron James Stop comparing and appreciate these once in a generation type players!! They're extremely rare
This was the most sensible, honest and nonhyperbolic discussion I have heard on almost any of these shows in the last two, three years. I am at a loss.
They immediately changed the discussion to Kawhi and KD, it literally isn't a discussion. When Chris asked the other guy are you saying he's better than Lebron he says, "no, no, no, no..." Just no bro, he's honestly just now really getting close to KD now because KD gave up leading his own team, and Kawhi's leadership grows every year.
Joe Budd A fools response. For only a fool would think that stats and team record determine a players value. And by the way, you could easily argue that LeBron had the best stats in the league this season when you consider efficiency.
People be like Kawhi is a better shooter than LeBron Kawhi is a better defender Kawhi can run down the court faster than LeBron Kawhi has bigger hands Kawhi arrives at the arena earlier than LeBron Kawhi drinks his Gatorade faster than LeBron does Therefore Kawhi is better than LeBron😂😂😂
LeBron is #1 Durant is better than Kawhi tho. KD is a better scorer, shot blocker, passer, finisher and mid range shooter. Both are equally good at free throws. Kawhi is better at defense, steals, and 3s. I don't think people appreciate how all time great Durant is, only because he went to Golden State.
top 5. 1. Lebron 2. Kawhi 3. Kevin 4. Russel (very close to #3 because he's a leader unlike Kevin) 5. James harden ( curry real close but James can score and control a team better and more assists and rebounds and his defense has stepped up)
Lebron is actually shooting pretty good since the playoffs started. Question is can he continue this shooting form in the final against GSW. Even if he can't he will still score points, but when he gets it going in shooting, he is even more unstoppable.
But when KD was asked to do more, his numbers are WAY better than Kawhis. Like come on, Kawhi is the lone star on his team. The ONE YEAR Kd was the lonestar when Russ was injured for about half the year, HE AVERAGED 32 POINTS ON 50 PERCENT SHOOTING with a MVP trophy and a top 3 seed. Come on...
Nathan Smith I said about half the year. Russell played 46 games that year what are you talking about. And KD has one playoff series without Russell. Do your research ...
Nathan Smith he beat the Rockets before that did you even watch the series ? Then the following year Russ plays 46 games and he wins MVP averaging 32 points. Russ played 2 games of that series. What are you talking about ? There has never been a team built soley around KD
Wayne -Kawhi ahead of curry. Kahwi plays on both sides of the ball and has a bigger workload than Steph while staying efficient. Curry ain't even ahead of Westbrook or harden
Doug clearly forgot about how Lebron used to guard KG in the Boston/Miami series, he covered from PG-PF. Against the Spurs guarded Duncan in certain situations, D Rose sticks out because he was MVP that season.
GloryGlorManUnited19 Colin's logic when it comes to basketball is laughable I rather someone with some levity bcuz Colin can't see anything past LeBron
1) LeBron offense control owns the tempo game/play vision. 2) Curry Changes the game and defenses indirectly makes everyone better and game HAX. 3) Durant Everything offensively, no weaknesses. Kawhi Best two way player Westbrook Stat monster & relentless
Better than Lebron? Uh, yeah...I think so. Defensively, I don't want to hear what Lebron can do, I want to know what he actually does. Kawhi, guards better and more positions. Offensively, very similar numbers. I'll take the guy that can do more on both sides of the ball. Doesn't mean I hate Lebron, it means, I prefer Kawhi today and going forward.
Why do people say Jordan was a great shooter? He was a terrible shooter. He had several seasons where he shot less than 30% from the three point line. Jordan was a career 32% shooter from three while LeBron is currently shooting 34% from three.
were comparing a dude (amazing athlete and player) who has one of the greatest coaches in basketball and the best GM in basketball to a dude we say IS the GM and coach for his team and have been doing it for several years lol.
1. LeBron 2. KD 3. Kawhi I don't think there's much discussion about LBJ being number one. As for KD, some of you are way too blinded by your hate for Durant. Durant is not as good as a defender as Kawhi, but he's still above average. And offensively, nobody is on KD's level.
Yes he can💀💀 your mental look at all the games they faced when they guarded each other Lebron has more points on KD so I guess KD can't guard him either huh?
Obviously KD can't guard him everyone knows that but people act like Lebron shut down everybody he guards which is the biggest myth in the history of basketball other superstar SF go off on Lebron just as much as he goes of on them Lebron just has better teammates so he wins the games.
Ibrahim Dukulay Lebron shut down kawhi in the 2013 finals, he only had 18 while lebron had 30 or 25 in some games guys really just wanna dethrone Lebron, like he's been in the league longer then kawhi and even curry and Durant yet they are better? KD only looks better because he has great teamates and a coach, also kawhi has a great coach as well. What did Lebron have his whole career? Nobody do he has to play hard and prove why he is the best player in the league
This is so annoying. NOBODY IS BETTER THAN LEBRON JAMES. And Kawhi Leonard is NOT better than Kevin Durant either. Kawhi does ONE THING better than KD, and that is defend. KD scores better, passes better, rebounds better. He's even a better rim protector.
How would Kawhi ever be a better rim protecter when he's a perimeter defender bruh? you just threw that in there for the sake of saying it LOLOLOL He's better because he's almost as good a scorer, there both good passers KD isn't better bruh and KD isn't a better rebounder. And Kawhi is a mcc better as a 1-1 defender than KD. All things Kawhi>KD
herby sylvestre you deadass must be an idiot. Kawhi can guard 1-5. Kd can guard 1-5. Rim protection is still something they both do good But I know I shouldn't take you serious once you said he's almost as good a scorer, when he's not even close, and then you followed it up with a better passer LMAOOO and a better rebounder LMAOOOOOO. Yet kd still get more assists and rebounds. Matter fact, rebounding not even debatable. Kd better. And passing ? Look at the assists lmfaooo. Use the eye test. WATCH. THE. GAMES.
herby sylvestre kd is a much better scorer, much better rebounder( he physically can't be a better rebounder than kd as well as their system they play in, passing can go both ways although kd has better vision and iq in that regard, and even defensively he's not all the way better than kd as kds rim protecting ability is still better than Kawhis. Kd a better iso scorer, more clutch, and just a better player
Listen, they bring these question out for sports analyst to talk about because they have nothing else more interesting to talk about so they bring stupid questions like this smh.
This is probably the mosy realistic list: #1:Lebron James #2:Kevin Durant #3:Kawhi Leonard #4:James Harden #5:Steph Curry #6:Russell Westbrook #7:Anthony Davis #8:Chris Paul #9:John Wall #10:Isiaiah Thomas
lol lebron doesnt play lock down defense... he roams and gets blocks thats not lock down defense. kawhi is much better at defense. lebron is the most overrated superstar of all time we dont expect him to make or even take the final shot like that alone tells me hes not that good. and if the nba called travels lebron offensively would be mediocre he has no go too that is reliable all he does is bully basketball by running with his head down and charging at the defenders.
Kawhi doesn't score better than KD, look at the field goal percentage doesn't pass better than KD, look at the assists doesn't rebound better than KD, look at the rebounds WHAT DOES HE DO BETTER BESIDES DEFEND? NOTHING AT ALL.
Pop literally said he doesn't want Kawhi shooting more than 22 shots a game. You can say he's a product of the system but you can also say the system handicaps him
Curry should only have 1 MVP(nba players would agree) and kawai could easily be MVP this season if they looked at defense he has more upside than curry and atm better because of defense
The fact that we still talk about LeBron at 32 years old is enough to say about his greatness. The other dudes are in their primes and LeBron is still at the top at a age where most players start to relax.
I'd say this about why I still think Lebron is the best player in the league; as much as I value defense and the ability for Kawhi to guard on the ball and shut down his man, I believe that playmaking and the ability to make others around you great is a more valuable asset. When Kawhi locks down Harden and makes him struggle, that's an individual accomplishment that doesn't really translate to the other players on the team. I'd argue that the only thing it does is limits the scoring deficit, and it could serve as inspiration to other teammates to lock down their man as well. Kind of like setting the tone, which is a big part of controlling momentum and pace. However, when Lebron is acting as the floor general and moving the ball and making sub par players excel, we have to show respect to that element of his game. Individual defense is nice, but playmaking and assisting is more valuable in my opinion. So whenever people try and say that because Kawhi is a good 2 way player that he's better than Lebron, I don't get it. Lebron move the ball more, rebounds more, scores more, and is a floor general capable of dominating a game. Kawhi is great, but let's not crown him too soon becuase what we're seeing is greatness from LBJ.
How many MVP has Kd played with. Himself,Westbrook,Curry,Harden who should've won in 2015 and balled out this year. So stop acting like lbj the only one who plays with allstars
It's crazy to think but there is more than a fair argument to make that Draymond Green is quietly having as dynamic of a postseason so far as Thomas and James, when you factor in what he is doing defensively as well. Not something I would have thought going in but 50% from the field, 52% from 3, 14 per game (as the 4th option), 7.2 apg, 9.2 rpg, 1.8 steals per, 3.8 blocks per game 19 total so far and is a +90 when on the floor. He obviously isn't in the talk (nor should he be) as best player in the league, but talk about upping your game for the postseason. Jeez
😂No one puts Curry the former two time MVP in any of these topics talk about overhyped Lebron,KD-Kawhi,Westbrook-Harden,Davis,I Thomas,and so forth....
This isn't even a discussion... The better scorer, passer, ball handler, rebounder, and basketball IQ goes to Lebron. Kawhi has an edge as a defender and 3 point shooter but that's it.
Who is the best player in the NBA?
GOAT JAMES 🖒🐐
Colin Cowherd bron
Colin Cowherd Lavar ball
Colin Cowherd Dell Curry... First born child
Westbrook
Chris Broussard always comes in spitting straight facts. Nice contrast to many others.
How To Make Anything Sound Stupid right
He really is the best of all of them. Very refreshing.
How To Make Anything Sound Stupid He literally doesn't say anything different than what someone like Stephen A would say or Colin for that matter.. I don't get it

+Skoshi33 Jordan wasn't good enough to come out of high school. Without the development in college, Jordan wouldn't be the player he became.
Why is this a question. Lebron James. 💯✌🏽️
Wow you commented on this hi bro
Surprised Colin didn't call in
Mac Dre facts to say how great Lebron is 😂
Are we going to do a "who's the best player" segment after every player has decent game?
TheySeeMeTrollin TheyCantWin pretty much
Ikr???? LeBron had a better game than Kawhi last night
TheySeeMeTrollin TheyCantWin it
Golden State when KD doesn't play: 16-4
Spurs when Leonard doesn't play: 7-1
Cavs when Lebron doesn't play: 0-8
NBAbram Cavs dont know how to play good enough without him. The same when lebron wasnt there and kyrie was the guy
NBAbram shows you how overrated kyrie is
Designz R Us Kyrie a scorer lol that's what Lebron wants him to do. If they wanted Kyrie to be a playmaker they would have put more responsibility on him. All they want Kyrie to do is to put the ball in the basket, while Lebron guides the offense

It was I, Dio!! who piped your girl he been just a scorer even when bron wasnt there
I like this dude more than Colin lol. The banter between these two was very good as well. Nice job gentlemen.
who is this 99 cent version of Colin Cowherd?
TR3 TR3 this dude is better than Colin
Mac Dre No way
I didn't subscribe to this channel to watch this scrub.
he's way more objective than colin. I wish he stayed

kawahii career high assists 8. LeBron averages 8 assist. LeBron makes his teammates better. LeBron does more for your team on and off the court
H. Laker true man true
H. Laker lebum also has 2 all stars n 10 shooters n closer in kyrie who drop 30 in his sleep
Kobe24 he averaged 8.6 assist with his 2nd best player being mo Williams... your just a hater
Skoshi33 cuz they time to gel ..they never played more thn 1 or 2 games without Lebron ..give them one year without Lebum ..n they will be 10 times better thn this team ..lebum gives up 30 point on defense every game

Yung G He's only 25, so being arguably the second best player in the league at that age is pretty amazing. He's not even in his prime yet.

Nobody is the GOAT!! Basketball is a team sport and we should only be saying Greatest of our generation
80's: Magic Johnson/ Larry Bird
90's: Michael Jordan
00's: Kobe Bryant/Tim Duncan
10's: Lebron James
Stop comparing and appreciate these once in a generation type players!! They're extremely rare
iamsuprme no he's better than both wtf and if u say steph over kd gg
60’s:Bill Russell/Wilt
70’s:Kareem Abdul Jabber
NBA didn’t start in the 80’s. 😂 😝 😆 😆
Kawhi Leonard is the best player in the league. I'm going by eye test. It's a crime how underrated he is.
This was the most sensible, honest and nonhyperbolic discussion I have heard on almost any of these shows in the last two, three years. I am at a loss.
Why do we always have to discuss this time and time again? LeBron. Next question.
But it's not Lebron, that's why we discuss.
They immediately changed the discussion to Kawhi and KD, it literally isn't a discussion. When Chris asked the other guy are you saying he's better than Lebron he says, "no, no, no, no..." Just no bro, he's honestly just now really getting close to KD now because KD gave up leading his own team, and Kawhi's leadership grows every year.
ElectricTurtle because his stats or record this year is not the best
Man O'Neal lol okay
Joe Budd A fools response. For only a fool would think that stats and team record determine a players value. And by the way, you could easily argue that LeBron had the best stats in the league this season when you consider efficiency.
i like when a player has 1 awesome year and now he the greatest.
People be like
Kawhi is a better shooter than LeBron
Kawhi is a better defender
Kawhi can run down the court faster than LeBron
Kawhi has bigger hands
Kawhi arrives at the arena earlier than LeBron
Kawhi drinks his Gatorade faster than LeBron does
Therefore Kawhi is better than LeBron😂😂😂
Show me his last 12 point game lol. Its been a while. Lebron is better but Kawhi will surpass him soon.
Justin Bray Soon? lmao you're delusional.
Well if he drinks Gatorade faster then he's better
Steph gonna look like chris Broussard when he turn 40 lol
LeBron is #1
Durant is better than Kawhi tho.
KD is a better scorer, shot blocker, passer, finisher and mid range shooter.
Both are equally good at free throws.
Kawhi is better at defense, steals, and 3s.
I don't think people appreciate how all time great Durant is, only because he went to Golden State.
Because I watch both of them play whole games I would choose Kawhi over Durant. He is extremely dominant now.
Lebrons the best and it's not even close
Best at what?
Joe Budd best player
Best player in what categories? Wins? Rebounds? Points? Assists? Don't just say all around, be more precise and concise.
Joe Budd
Basketball duh
Luckymag 2016 right be more specific
Broussard's by far my favorite analyst. So level-headed
top 5.
1. Lebron
2. Kawhi
3. Kevin
4. Russel (very close to #3 because he's a leader unlike Kevin)
5. James harden ( curry real close but James can score and control a team better and more assists and rebounds and his defense has stepped up)
Evan Mansfield curry not even close to 5 tho harden is a such a better overall player
Can't believe this was even a discussion
Totally dismissed KD. so dissrespectful
Guy in the blue checkered sounds like trump 😂
KDs best offensively
Kawhi is best defensively
Lebron is best all around
Doe Boy I can agree with that. But I think Kawhi is the second best "all around" player.
profitg15 it's actually KD because he is a better playmaker than kawhi.
Lebron is actually shooting pretty good since the playoffs started. Question is can he continue this shooting form in the final against GSW. Even if he can't he will still score points, but when he gets it going in shooting, he is even more unstoppable.
Kd could be better but he isn't asked to do nearly as much as Kawai and LeBron because of that I give the edge to those guys
KD could be the best if he had his own team he was second fiddle to Westbrook and now to Curry and Klay. LBJ and Kawahi are the leaders
But when KD was asked to do more, his numbers are WAY better than Kawhis. Like come on, Kawhi is the lone star on his team. The ONE YEAR Kd was the lonestar when Russ was injured for about half the year, HE AVERAGED 32 POINTS ON 50 PERCENT SHOOTING with a MVP trophy and a top 3 seed. Come on...
Nathan Smith I said about half the year. Russell played 46 games that year what are you talking about. And KD has one playoff series without Russell. Do your research ...
Nathan Smith he beat the Rockets before that did you even watch the series ? Then the following year Russ plays 46 games and he wins MVP averaging 32 points. Russ played 2 games of that series. What are you talking about ? There has never been a team built soley around KD
I remember when people were saying that Jimmer was better than Kawhi. Still laughing.
King James every year.
Russell Westbrook0 👊🖒🐐
Russell Westbrook0 facts
Wayne -Kawhi ahead of curry. Kahwi plays on both sides of the ball and has a bigger workload than Steph while staying efficient. Curry ain't even ahead of Westbrook or harden
Wayne Russ and harden r wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than curry not too close
overrated
Careful now, Colin might fire this guy
Doug clearly forgot about how Lebron used to guard KG in the Boston/Miami series, he covered from PG-PF. Against the Spurs guarded Duncan in certain situations, D Rose sticks out because he was MVP that season.
Kawhi
why do we still have these conversations?????
u GUYS CAN making a lot of stories about how to downgrade lebron achievements but he will smash u like always
Broussard is the realist NBA analyst out there. The others are just fans or haters.
This guy keeps trying to get Chris to lie and say Kawhi is better
To be honest, at their best, i don't know if I would take Jordan over Lebron, really tough question actually.
Who's this schmuck... where's Colin?!?! 😞😞
GloryGlorManUnited19 ratings so low when Colin not there
GloryGlorManUnited19 Colin's logic when it comes to basketball is laughable I rather someone with some levity bcuz Colin can't see anything past LeBron
Patrick Adzimah why do you keep watching then?
I like his overall style he's extremely entertaining and knowledgeable when he talks about life decisions,business,college, entrepreneurship exc
Patrick Adzimah so in short, you prefer this schmuck?
1) LeBron offense control owns the tempo game/play vision.
2) Curry Changes the game and defenses indirectly makes everyone better and game HAX.
3) Durant Everything offensively, no weaknesses.
Kawhi Best two way player
Westbrook Stat monster & relentless
KD and Lebron are the only players who do everything at a high level.
Fall back shoot it like KD 🔥🔥
Stevo Knows best👎 🤕
🔥💯
Kobe was also the best player in the league at his 14th year when the Lakers won in 2009.
go check lebrons numbers in 09, its not close.
That was lebron's 7th year.
Better than Lebron? Uh, yeah...I think so. Defensively, I don't want to hear what Lebron can do, I want to know what he actually does. Kawhi, guards better and more positions. Offensively, very similar numbers. I'll take the guy that can do more on both sides of the ball. Doesn't mean I hate Lebron, it means, I prefer Kawhi today and going forward.
trooperjoe73 wow if you think they're even close offensively it means you don't look past stats and that's sad
Butch the Pineapple - What's sad is you thinking your opinion trumps mine.
I don't like the term "washed up" when describing a player. The "washed up" ones are more skillful than most of the league.
Kawhi over KD anytime of the day. But Lebron is still the best player in the league.
Why do people say Jordan was a great shooter? He was a terrible shooter. He had several seasons where he shot less than 30% from the three point line. Jordan was a career 32% shooter from three while LeBron is currently shooting 34% from three.
And the only good season that he had from 3 was when they moved the 3 pt line in
likemikegenerationx2
He had a great mid range game
Valour Exactly
kingmirza Yeah he did but when you hear shooter, you don't automatically think about mid range jumpers. You think about the three point line.
J Durham Yeah, in the mid range. Say he had a great mid range jumper. Don't say he was a great shooter if he can't hit thress as well
As soon as someone has a good game they start comparing everybody give it a season dang
the best player of all time is LeBryant jordan-jabbar
Lebron is the goat none of the players mentioned can guard Hakeem. He has a winning percentage against the greats of his era, including Kareem.
Replace Colin with Doug and have Broussard on every day
what about when lebron locked down tony parker in 2013 finals he can lock down anyone if he needs to
jordan silhavy-kenning or 2011 when he shut down d rose when he was the most explosive payer in the NBA
jordan silhavy-kenning remember when rookie stanley johnson locked down LeBron james last year and locked him down again this year.
Logan calkins no one remembers that. Didn't happen. Good try tho
Logan calkins yeah when he swept the pistons. Did a great job locking him down
Both of those links i post showed stanley johnson locking down lebron
were comparing a dude (amazing athlete and player) who has one of the greatest coaches in basketball and the best GM in basketball to a dude we say IS the GM and coach for his team and have been doing it for several years lol.
KD all the way!!!
Lol have that same shirt, it's from Express.
lebron, kd, kawhi. kd is the next king
Top 5 players
1. LeBron
2. Kawhi
3. Westbrook/Harden
4. Durant
5. Curry
1. LeBron
2. KD
3. Kawhi
I don't think there's much discussion about LBJ being number one. As for KD, some of you are way too blinded by your hate for Durant. Durant is not as good as a defender as Kawhi, but he's still above average. And offensively, nobody is on KD's level.
Durant averages a whole block more than LeBron and the same amount of steals btw. 👍
T K What? Lmao kawhi is an elite scorer
LeBron, Durant, Kawhi, IT4, Curry, and Westbrook.
Lebron never Guards Durant 💀💀 cause he can't, KD averaged 30ppg 50% in the finals. and lost.
Ibrahim Dukulay he did ball in da finals but let's not act like he didn't fold in da 4th quarter
Yes he can💀💀 your mental look at all the games they faced when they guarded each other Lebron has more points on KD so I guess KD can't guard him either huh?
Obviously KD can't guard him everyone knows that but people act like Lebron shut down everybody he guards which is the biggest myth in the history of basketball other superstar SF go off on Lebron just as much as he goes of on them Lebron just has better teammates so he wins the games.
Ibrahim Dukulay Lebron shut down kawhi in the 2013 finals, he only had 18 while lebron had 30 or 25 in some games guys really just wanna dethrone Lebron, like he's been in the league longer then kawhi and even curry and Durant yet they are better? KD only looks better because he has great teamates and a coach, also kawhi has a great coach as well. What did Lebron have his whole career? Nobody do he has to play hard and prove why he is the best player in the league
Ibrahim Dukulay durant is 5-21 career vs lebron wtf you talking about? lol
listen guys you can't compare basketball in the 21 century to 20 century. Two different leagues. pre 2000 was way tougher than after 2000.
This is so annoying. NOBODY IS BETTER THAN LEBRON JAMES.
And Kawhi Leonard is NOT better than Kevin Durant either. Kawhi does ONE THING better than KD, and that is defend. KD scores better, passes better, rebounds better. He's even a better rim protector.
How would Kawhi ever be a better rim protecter when he's a perimeter defender bruh? you just threw that in there for the sake of saying it LOLOLOL He's better because he's almost as good a scorer, there both good passers KD isn't better bruh and KD isn't a better rebounder. And Kawhi is a mcc better as a 1-1 defender than KD. All things Kawhi>KD
herby sylvestre you deadass must be an idiot. Kawhi can guard 1-5. Kd can guard 1-5. Rim protection is still something they both do good
But I know I shouldn't take you serious once you said he's almost as good a scorer, when he's not even close, and then you followed it up with a better passer LMAOOO and a better rebounder LMAOOOOOO. Yet kd still get more assists and rebounds. Matter fact, rebounding not even debatable. Kd better.
And passing ? Look at the assists lmfaooo. Use the eye test. WATCH. THE. GAMES.
bob hendryson you must be stupid if you think Kawhi is better in any of those categories
neither of them can guard 1-5 only 2013 Lebron could do that, more like 2-4,
herby sylvestre kd is a much better scorer, much better rebounder( he physically can't be a better rebounder than kd as well as their system they play in, passing can go both ways although kd has better vision and iq in that regard, and even defensively he's not all the way better than kd as kds rim protecting ability is still better than Kawhis. Kd a better iso scorer, more clutch, and just a better player

Conor McGregor curry ain't better then harden and Westbrook
Frederick Davis yes he is. He just doesn't have the same usage rate as them
ParakramND no way all he got on harden and Westbrook is just shooting and that's it.
Conor McGregor IT the 10th best player in the league...? You gotta be kidding me.
Conor McGregor curry is not top ten
the two smartest guys on fox sports
Listen, they bring these question out for sports analyst to talk about because they have nothing else more interesting to talk about so they bring stupid questions like this smh.
lmao every stat bron is better by a landslide why is this really a discussion
Lebron didn't guard Durant in the two games they played this year
Start one bench one and cut one, go.
Kobe was the best in the world in his 14th season...
Aaron Lacombe
that was lebron
yeh ur right ....kobe r mj wouldn't cry to get draymond green suspended, they would want to beat him straight up
This is probably the mosy realistic list:

#5:Steph Curry
#6:Russell Westbrook
#7:Anthony Davis
#8:Chris Paul
#9:John Wall
#10:Isiaiah Thomas
lol lebron doesnt play lock down defense... he roams and gets blocks thats not lock down defense. kawhi is much better at defense. lebron is the most overrated superstar of all time we dont expect him to make or even take the final shot like that alone tells me hes not that good. and if the nba called travels lebron offensively would be mediocre he has no go too that is reliable all he does is bully basketball by running with his head down and charging at the defenders.
yea i can stand this much more than the other guy hosting
LeBron is 1 by so much its ridiculous, 2 is Kevin Durant STOP hyping Kawhi
?????hahha what??? kawhi is way better than durant.
Thank you KD still #2
Chas Dillard Kawhi is better than KD cmon man.
Kawhi doesn't score better than KD, look at the field goal percentage
doesn't pass better than KD, look at the assists
doesn't rebound better than KD, look at the rebounds
WHAT DOES HE DO BETTER BESIDES DEFEND? NOTHING AT ALL.
Pop literally said he doesn't want Kawhi shooting more than 22 shots a game. You can say he's a product of the system but you can also say the system handicaps him
A bunch of players didn't go to the Olympics because of rest, they didn't go because they didn't want to get Zika.
Normally Chris speaks Facts but Kwahi better than Durant?! Tell him to get 10 assist in a game first smh.
thenotoriousKD Warriors XO
Or even 9
thenotoriousKD Warriors XO thats not a forwards purpose. assists are left to the guards.
Logan calkins Kawhi is the traditional forward. He score points, he defends and grabs rebounds when needed.
suntansuperman26 and thats what he is doing
Kawhi is a better all around player than KD. KD is better offensively, but Kawhi is better defensively. Kawhi can shut KD down btw
Colin truly lives up to his last name. 😂
Lebron ,kd ,Kawhi in that order . But you can argue harden at 3rd
Curry at 3rd and Leonard at 4th.
stop
Wayne no curry 4th
2a. kawhi
2b. kd
Curry should only have 1 MVP(nba players would agree) and kawai could easily be MVP this season if they looked at defense he has more upside than curry and atm better because of defense
Doug Gottlieb is awesome. Way more objective than Colin.
KD is the greatest offensive threat in the NBA. Kawhi is nowhere close to KD.
I have yet to see anyone lock Kawhi up. Meanwhile Kawhi has been snatching the ball from KD, LeBron, Curry, Westbrook for years.
therealestmc85 kd has 0 rings kawhi does so hes close
Scalbrine has 6 lebron has 3. yeaaa
therealestmc85 statistically kawhi totmrches kd at every stat except driving and shooting long 2
The fact that we still talk about LeBron at 32 years old is enough to say about his greatness. The other dudes are in their primes and LeBron is still at the top at a age where most players start to relax.
Kevin Durant dunks on all of them.
this is the dumbest comment I've ever read
Yo Mammas Boo 👎🤕
Yo Mammas Boo what 😂
it's true LeBron could never hold him LeBron just had a better team but this year might change
Solomon Oliver durant had obaka harden and westbrook in the finals and got 1 game and is 5-21 career vs james
if LBJ played in the NBA with NC teammates, the roof would be the ceiling 😂
1)lbj
2)durant
3)kawhi
how is this even a question?
since when did Manning not have a great arm pre-injuries?? 🤔🤔
Is this dudes last name Coward? lol
I'd say this about why I still think Lebron is the best player in the league; as much as I value defense and the ability for Kawhi to guard on the ball and shut down his man, I believe that playmaking and the ability to make others around you great is a more valuable asset. When Kawhi locks down Harden and makes him struggle, that's an individual accomplishment that doesn't really translate to the other players on the team. I'd argue that the only thing it does is limits the scoring deficit, and it could serve as inspiration to other teammates to lock down their man as well. Kind of like setting the tone, which is a big part of controlling momentum and pace. However, when Lebron is acting as the floor general and moving the ball and making sub par players excel, we have to show respect to that element of his game. Individual defense is nice, but playmaking and assisting is more valuable in my opinion. So whenever people try and say that because Kawhi is a good 2 way player that he's better than Lebron, I don't get it. Lebron move the ball more, rebounds more, scores more, and is a floor general capable of dominating a game. Kawhi is great, but let's not crown him too soon becuase what we're seeing is greatness from LBJ.
Four hall of famers on Golden State?! Lmao thats funny Broussard
Jared Bruno wen it's all said and done he might be accurate
How many MVP has Kd played with.
Himself,Westbrook,Curry,Harden who should've won in 2015 and balled out this year. So stop acting like lbj the only one who plays with allstars
So why isn't he mentioning Kalyn Thompson he does the same thing as Kawhi Leonard.
Both Wilt and Hakeem Olajuwon won without a primary playmaker and Hakeem did it without any all stars or superstar players.
top 5 best Players
1. LeBron
2. the Claw
3. Curry
4. Harden
5. Durant
It's crazy to think but there is more than a fair argument to make that Draymond Green is quietly having as dynamic of a postseason so far as Thomas and James, when you factor in what he is doing defensively as well. Not something I would have thought going in but 50% from the field, 52% from 3, 14 per game (as the 4th option), 7.2 apg, 9.2 rpg, 1.8 steals per, 3.8 blocks per game 19 total so far and is a +90 when on the floor. He obviously isn't in the talk (nor should he be) as best player in the league, but talk about upping your game for the postseason. Jeez
Actually, been doing that for years in big games or moments.
Who else laughed when they saw the title? 😂😂😂
😂No one puts Curry the former two time MVP in any of these topics talk about overhyped Lebron,KD-Kawhi,Westbrook-Harden,Davis,I Thomas,and so forth....
Lol Colin didn't show up the day after he said the Spurs were done.
Is this a question?
This isn't even a discussion... The better scorer, passer, ball handler, rebounder, and basketball IQ goes to Lebron. Kawhi has an edge as a defender and 3 point shooter but that's it.
