That’s 104 times scoring at least 30+ in the playoffs!! Has average damn near 30+ for an entire postseason 7times
      2001-2002: 29.5 ppg 6.1ast
      2002-2003: 32.0 ppg 5.2ast
      2006-2007: 32.8 ppg 4.4ast

      Ok, I’ll entertain you for a minute..... Kawhi has been “clutch” for 1 playoff season. Who was calling him clutch in San Antonio? People were ready to write Kawhi off last year when he sat out all but 9 games. Y’all gotta chill with this narrative! How quickly people forget.

      Numbers don’t tell the whole story either. According to “numbers” we can also say that John Stockton is not a great point guard and he can’t handle the ball, since he does top the list as point guards with the most turnovers in NBA history. But we can’t say that because he was one of the greatest point guards of all time. So numbers don’t tell the complete story. I guarantee that Kobe has burned your team on more than one occasion!!

You’re only rebuttal is that it’s a dumb argument but you’re not tell us how😂😂😂 & If anything, the rules make it easier for people to score in this Era rather then the early 2000s & Kawhi’s STILL shutting people down😂😂😂🤷🏽‍♂️. You don’t just have to look at this year. When the Warriors first got KD & player the Spurs in the playoffs, Kawhi was fucking them niggas up then. He had the Spurs up with a 23 point lead & then he got hurt & they lost. Rather than you tell me how Kobe’s more clutch, you keep looking for excuses to poo poo on Kawhi😂😂🤦🏽‍♂️ Kobe the same nigga that has the most career misses & the same nigga to blow a 3-1 lead aswell🤦🏽‍♂️😂 Kawhi’s #s & percentages show he’s more clutch. You still can’t tell me how Kobe’s more clutch. So if you don’t have proof to back up your argument, don’t cry that the debate is dumb to start out with cause it’s not fitting you narrative kiddo
