I think Kawhi can become more aggressive. People were asking what Lebron could do to get better when he started shooting better and my answer was the same thing, and that's exactly what Lebron did to elevate his game. Kawhi feels the green light more closely now, but I don't see him going all out very often. That's where his game can get better.

At some point, we'll find out how good Giannis will be. If he stays in the lane he's in now and if his shot doesn't improve significantly, I don't think he will get better than Kawhi. He does have an edge on Kawhi: I think he works harder in games (relative to stage of career), and I think he's more aggressive. If Giannis improves his shot and keeps improving his overall game and presence as well as his strength, he's going to be the MVP, period.

I don't completely trust that Giannis will get where we think he can go. He's so raw and he's made so many improvements but it's also very hard to consistently develop your game in the way it needs to develop. Demar Derozan and Kawhi Leonard are great examples of guys who got better every year. Lebron, too, with the exception of 1 or two seasons where I felt he went back a bit. The great ones all do that. They mostly go uphill. Giannis is still near his base and it's exciting because if he gets to the top, he's going to do very bad things to his opponents every night.


I do very bad things to ur mum every night.

Would Kawhi be the player he is today if he got drafted into a different situation?


he would be moreso than in the spurs.

if he played as well as he did his rookie season, he wouldve taken reign if he was like in the suns or something
easily wouldve started getting noticed

Where else can Kawhi go? I think you're wrong. I think he's reached his ceiling. Which isn't a bad thing because as been said before he is playing at an MVP level.

I think you put the Greek freak on the Spurs and he's more Kevin Durant with a vicious 3. And Kawhi on the Bucks wouldn't be nearly the stud he is now.


Leonards offensive game has developed every single year. He can still definitely improve offensively, that's without question.
