Injuries in general have really ruined his career unfortunately. He’s missed like 2 years and got injured in 2 playoff runs. Imagine him having all those monster post seasons, win or lose, he’d be really up there in all-time status
Him having a 3rd ring would also mean that he's somehow on the same page with LeBron in terms of players who have rings on different teams (except that LeBron has 4 rings with 2 of them being in Miami). Do also tell if there are other players who have won rings in different teams. Looking forward to Kawhi's 3rd ring though.
@@Areeb118 exactly and people can criticize his load management all they want, but he’s smart enough to understand that post-season is the only thing that matters.

He’s honestly todays mike with how he’s built and how incredibly scary he is on both sides, I just wish he had the exact same insane mentality mike has
people forget how good kawhi is, he’s honestly underrated. if he hadn’t gotten hurt last year it would be him winning his 3rd finals mvp not giannis🤷🏻♂️
Kawhi is really unlucky because he would’ve had 4 championship by now. His first nba finals the spurs lost to Miami Heat. Kawhi missed the free throw to win the game. In 2017, he had the warriors on the robes before Zaza injured him. And then last season, he got injured in the playoffs when he was dominating. I have no doubt Clippers would’ve won the championship 🤷🏾♂️
@@elcomandante9299 biased dog like you dont know how UNLUCKY Kawhi is, injuries are part of nba game, staying healthy is part of the competition, your lame loser excuse can apply for EVERY TEAM including giannis bucks he wouldnt stand a chance against fired up Kawhi and PG, kawhi was averaging better numbers and efficiency that season. during the nba bubble half of the players heart not even on it even giannis mention he felt like this, he had to carry a team with zero chemistry and drive, to add that clips got awful overrated coach that is trash rivers who does ZERO adjustment ask ben simmons.. not to mention kawhis injury prone kawhi plays limping against GS only god knows what he'll be able to do if hes fully healthy during that run and yet he manages to win anyways fair and square.
One of my favorite players of all time let’s his game do all the talking I hope he wins another ring before he retires because he truly has a generational type of talent
Kawhi is pretty much what you would call a complete player. He can get any shot he wants and is pretty efficient from the floor. And on defense we all know what he's capable of, he came into the league as a top rated defender. Hopefully he will come back in good shape for thus upcoming season !

If you wonder how Jordan would do in today's NBA, just look at Leonard. They have a similar size and build, but MJ was a MUCH more explosive athlete with the best midrange game ever who was far less stiff than Leonard at beating his defenders of the dribble. Basically, he was better than Kawhi in every way other than 3 point shooting. And Kawhi is awesome! I love watching him because he's got one of the most complete, MJ-like games that we've seen with the maturity and clutchness to know how to use it.
@@wyliegarcia5965 Not sure what to tell you because most people would disagree with your preference for watching Kawhi over Jordan. Again, I'm not bashing Kawhi, I'm a big fan of his and I also really like watching him. I'm just saying that the similarity in his game to Jordan's in the modern era can help us to imagine how Jordan would have fared, and my point is that he would have done even better because he was better than Kawhi in almost every category.
I love how he stays so humble the money never changed him the only thing he does to show he has money now is getting a new hair lady but my man’s cornrows always looking right.
Would’ve won the ring in 2021 had he not got injured. No way the Suns would have beat the Clippers and neither would the Bucks. Cant wait till he’s back.
One of the most underrated players in history. If it wasn’t for his recent injury I believe he would have a 3rd ring already
