@@happysad7768 lol nope, y'all just in love with that old nigga. The argument is who's better right NOW. Give Kawhi AD and I guarantee they'd win the chip too
@@hen88888 Well yeah, injuries are always a factor.. the Nets have that problem too. I'm just saying to act like Kawhi isn't even in the convo is just silly, Lebron is going on 37. Kawhi has established himself as one of the greatest winners the sport has ever seen and was having another all-time great playoff run before the injury. Meanwhile without AD, Lebron's team got smoked by the Suns. People bring up the bubble to try and argue that Kawhi is trash, but that is literally the only blemish on his career, like yes he failed in a weird season. Just like every other player has failed at some point in their career.
Kawhi is more efficient (guy almost every season flirts with 50-40-90 club) and is better defender, one of the best perimeter defenders in today's NBA. LeBron is by far the better playmaker though. Honestly, at this point of time I'd rather have Kawhi than old LeBron, although if the same question was asked like 3 years ago I'd pick LeBron without a second thought.
Yeah even as a Lebron fan, at this moment I’d pick kawhi. But the fact that we are even talking about a 36-37 year old player comparing to a great, in his prime, tells you a lot
So you just based your opinion on 1 playoff serie were Lebron was coming off an injury, playing without AD half the serie and with some of his teammates like KCP, Kuzma or Caruso having 0 points game ? Even with that, Lebron averaged near a triple double, 23ppg, 8ast, 8reb’… Lebron was in the MVP race and DPOY race before his injury, remember that ? Khawi wasn’t because like always he play 1/3 of the season because of load management or injuries. So first a healthy Lebron, with a healthy would have averaged something like 26ppg, 12ast, 10reb vs the Suns, and 2nd, Lebron won the fucking last Finals MVP, in 2020, you know, last year, not 5 years ago, LAST YEAR. And he was DOMINANT, with the highest FG% at the rim ever, even higher than prime fucking shaq, with game like game 4 vs portland with 30 points and 10 assists … On 83% FG, I REPEAT, 83% FG … So Lebron is still better, he is a better scorer, playmaker, leader and close to the defender Khawi is, LEBRON is better even at 37.
@@NewAgeSlaves 2019….one playoff series and he’s a better playoff performer? Literal definition of recency bias lol what bron did in 2016 is something kawhi could never do
Kawhi is better. Lebron is still insane tho, hes lethal by slashing, collapsing defenses, and facilitating. But Kawhi does it in a much more effective fashion. Since hes way more dangerous from different mid ranges, while having more in his offensive bag, hes less predictable. Plus hes just as physical as Bron. His 3pt shot is also crazy efficient, all while being a 2x defensive player of the year and arguably a top 5 wing defender of all time. I say this because his style of play such as ISO ball is super effective in the playoffs. Before he got injured these playoffs, Kawhi was averaging 30pts on 57% FG & 39% 3pt & 90% FT. The narrative that Kawhi isnt clutch or isnt as good of an offensive player as Steph, Bron, or KD is ridiculous, if anything Kawhi is more efficient.
@@dansheshe8039 Jaylen is probably a better scorer just isn’t first option and hasn’t truly been given an opportunity to display his play making as the second option (also why his scoring numbers are lower) and I’d say he’s more efficient
Its funny how before kawhi was injured he was playing about as well as KD was in the playoffs but as soon as he got injured you people tried to take him out of the top 5. but yet we're expected to believe lebrons still number one because he was injured. The double standard is hillarious.
Plus you saying Bron not a good mid range shooter you trippin. His 3pt shot came a long way since he’s entered the league & he’s a way better mid range shooter than 3pt. I advise you to rewatch the game he hit 6 straight fadeaways vs the raptors in 2018 😴
Idk Ik my late but I’ve seen Lebron midrange this year and he’s legit a nasty midrange shooter. I don’t even have to look at stats and by the eye test this is easily his best midrange game. Free throws was always his weakness but he’s improve that to a degree this year. His offensive bag is rivaling that 2018 playoff run. Averaging 29 points with 7 boards and 7 assists.🐐🐐
Kawhi didn't have all the hype coming into the league, the man put in the work to earn what he has achieved. Plus he ain't no diva sold out to China. Klaw all day!
Having all the hype=extreme pressure. Lebron is the most scrutinized player ever, and that since he was 16-17, Khawi never had to deal with that. And you think Lebron didnt work ? How do you think he was able to be the best player in the league for like 14 out of 18 seasons of his career ? HARDWORK. And who gives a fuck about china, you just show how Lebron haters have nothing against him when it come to basketball.
Wright now Kawhi is better than LeBron. But 2: years ago I wouldn't have said that. The last time we saw both of them Kawhi was being historic while LeBron was being average
I feel like Kawhi is just a better player right now. With that being said though, he doesn’t affect his team as much as LeBron. Lebron leads to wind and deep playoff success, where I don’t feel like I get that with Kawhi. Kawhi just drops a quiet 30 a does everything pretty good, but Bron changes the game.
Kawhi is better. Lebron needs AD. I’m not even just talking about to win because all players need their help but in terms of his performance. He doesn’t even try if AD isn’t playing
And you think that because of 1 playoff serie ? At a time when he was just coming of an injury himself ? Lebron was at 70% of his capacity at best, without AD for half the serie and still averaged near a triple double, 23ppg, 8ast, 8reb … Averaging 8 assists with KCP, Kuzma, Caruso and Gasol aint easy, believe me.
If Lebron were knocking down those mid-range jumpers consistently, he would have already been the GOAT! The reason his outside shot and FT shooting s not consistent because he changes his form all the time.
the "this isn't even a question" comments are fuckin dumb. These two are very close, kawhi is a better defender and scorer while lebron is much better at running an offense and facilitating/leading. You're a casual if you think it isn't a close call. These two are 4th and 5th best in the league imo with lebron ahead of kawhi.
Kawhi is very serious when it comes to his health to the point I expect him to miss this full year and just get back 100% in 2022-23 kinda like he in San Antonio
If kawhi had lebrons health youd have him also in the goat debate. If zaza didnt stand under him the 2017 ecf spurs were favourite to come out of the west and more the likely win the finals same again for this past season if he didnt do his acl
Kawhi is one of if not the worst playmaker and passer out of all top 10 players and let’s not forget he’s only played 60 games once out of the last 4 seasons. He is one of the worst leaders amongst all superstars and he has been coming up short in the playoffs since he joined the clippers because of that. Please don’t say kawhi has a case for being better than Lebron because that is just preposterous
@@JOHNNYPMUSIC even after the ring unless u was one of those lakers fan who put bron 1 and ad 2 giannis was still better since he always aggressive as a number 1 option and always healthy, two major things ad consistently struggle with
The only knock I have on Lebron is the fact that he actually has zero go to moves. Like absolutely zero. It is so rare you will see him come down the court and bust somebody ass cause he knows he can. That’s killer mentality. Obviously his bag is crazy but I don’t see any bread and butter go to moves.
@@timothymoore2966 have you seen Kawhi's spin move finishing off with the monster dunk? The Klaw has a lot of go to moves and a clutch player, he even blocked Lebron in the Spurs Miami series. Lebron is scared of Kawhi ask him!
Ppl really overreact to free throws lol they like field goals in my opinion they don’t really matter unless it’s the game winners otherwise it’s just a dropped pass or missed like a 3 or layup would shit happens throughout the entirety of the game but when it’s money time gotta get it done ✅
On an efficiency and individual level: Kawhi Leonard On an intangibles and team level: Lebron James Kawhi Leonard (right now at least) is statistically the greatest 'winning' player in not just today's game, but in all of NBA HISTORY! Sure, 2 rings compared to 4 can muddle things up, but we do see, night in and night out, how consistent this man can be, and when needed to, can be that absolute Terminator on the court. Lebron James on the other hand, my opinions on the man is biased as is considering 'the choice' and his premature self declaration as the GOAT (in my opinion at least), but I do give props for his ability to make players around him the absolute best that they can be. On the Heat, Lebron allowed Dwayne Wade and Ray Allen to become even greater after they were reaching low ends of their careers. He also propelled inconsistent and upcoming stars like Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, and J.R. Smith, in his return to Cleveland to win them a championship by making them great players for the time he's on the court. I guess this conversation all depends on how you want to build your team really.
Lakers were looking very good up 2-1 and Lbj was looking healthy against Suns, but soon as AD went down Bron was not able to get 1 win and the injury excuse started again….Kawhi at this point is a better player
Lebron entering year 19 in The NBA and they still talking about who is better than him or who is not That’s unreal shit most Elitev people only get to play 10 seasons some even less and lebron in year 19 that’s some unreal shit 👑🐐 Unreal durability and Unreal stamina
@@roningrant759 I mean free this szn… the top 5 i see for the most part in no order … Bron , kd , steph , giannis , kawhi / harden i have kawhi but that’s what i see
4 rings and finals mvp and season is better than 2 rings and 2fmvp 🤷🏻♂️ and to those brainless people think kawhi is at the same level as lebron u know nothing about basketball.
I'd suggest comparing young players and predict who will be better 5 years from now. We can revisit the videos down the road. 1) Morant vs Fox 2) Booker vs Mitchell 3) Lavine vs Shai
Kawhi is the better player than Lebron! He elevated and and singlehandedly give Toronto Raptors their first and only championship without any help and superstar team mate and did it with all humility and without flair. Even Lebron is scared of Kawhi Leonard (evidently seen in his video reaction when Kawhi was checking in while his about to take his foul shots). Lebron Is very disrespectful and arrogant when he said that he is the GOAT! Disrespectful to the players played before him who played the game and current player he is playing with. Even Kyrie Erving is better than him, (he made the winning basket against the GSW). Lebron is not a clutch player like Kawhi, Kyrie, Lillard, Mitchell, Booker, Durant, Thompson, Curry, etc. You CAN NOT trust his mid range, 3 -point shooting, low post and leadership when the game is on the line. Remember when Kyrie was asked who will he give the ball to when the game is crucial, without hesitation he said Durant not Lebron! Lebron only won championship because he surrounded himself with superstars. Lebron can not duplicate what Kawhi did to Toronto Raptors. Casing point: Look what Lebron did when AD was injured last play off first round, HE DID NOTHING, HE DID NOT EVEN PUT UP A FIGHT!!! Result: Lakers lose their title defense in the first round. Kawhi is the better player than Lebron hands down. How many times Kawhi hit a game winning shot? How many player he posterized in a monster dunk? How about his spin cycle, cross over, post up, mid range, free throw shooting and 3 pointers. Don't forget his defensive skills that handcuff the opposing best players, ask Lebron himself? He's scared of Kawhi. Lebron IS AN OVER RATED BASKETBALL PLAYER! The great Charles Barkley is right! Lebron is whiny and doesn't want to compete. Put Lebron and Kawhi on one on one game. Kawhi is going to humiliate him. Should I say more?
That’s not saying much big men age better than everyone. bron is big enough to get in the post and play PF doing his thing plus Him improving around the perimeter makes it easier . For example of all the top ten play players in all time scoring only 2 players are under 6’7 and 230 pounds….Kobe and MJ
This video explained why Kawhi is the better player…your conclusion on the basis of playmaking is biased and shortsighted when Kawhi beats lebron in all the other categories you mentioned
Seriously in what way is kawhi leonard better at basketball than leBron james ? historically or currently I'm genuinely befuddled do you even watch basketball ? and by chance that you do do you know what your watching ? LeBron's playmaking alone sets him apart , the man has nearly as many assist as kawhi has career points not to mention he's lead the league in assist when has kawhi even come close to doing that ? kawhi developed his game thru watching tons of film & relentless hard work and he should be commended for that but LeBron's game is something you can't teach the way he controls the tempo , his feel for the game , his athletic ability I don't know maybe it's me but I just don't see it 🤷♂️
@@playforkeeps3536 I believe you didnt watch the game. This video is made to decide who is CURRENTLY better, and currently the facts are Kawhi is a better scorrer, a better defender, a better shooter, meanwhile Lebron is a better playmaker and higher basketball iq, so its 3>2 goes Kawhi way if you wanna go like this.
@@ZanosuMangustasYa know what let's use your flawed criteria Better Scorer 🤔 let's see about that 25ppg 51% shooting ( 51.4 ) on 33 minutes per game which is more points than kawhi on a higher field goal percentage than kawhi and less minutes than kawhi Shooting sure I'll give this one to kawhi.... leBron's jumper is a bit streaky although when he's 🔥 he's lethal ever heard of logo leBron lol And my favorite lol defense ok so kawhi played 52 games last season Lebron 45 games Lebron was head and shoulders better than Kawhi defensively by every metric while leading the D without AD to #1 ranking in the NBA Clips were #8 Matter fact in january of last season while kawhi was somewhere load managing leBron allowed opponents to shoot just 30% when he's the contesting defender by far the best in the NBA and If you up the minimum to 100 FGA Bron also ranks 1st in FG pct as the closest defender 36.0% on contested or uncontested shots Kawhi is a hell of defender 2 time DPOY but the truth is he isn't the defender he was in san antonio nor is he a better defender than leBron We aren't even getting into things like passing , court vision , rebounding and finishing in transition....
@@playforkeeps3536 I see you bringed regular season statistics, which is useless, considering the fact that Kawhi is 24.8 ppg as a PERIMETER scorrer on 51.2% eff while shooting almost 40% 3 pt and almost 90% from ft. So that is almost 50-40-90 club. Yeah Lebron shot better because he did it in the paint most of the times. Also you somehow forgot that Lebron defensively gave up on MULTIPLE possesions, because he looked gassed. Go check youtube videos, plenty od footage there. So Kawhi is a far better defender and its not even close. Also Kawhi is a better offensive player in the post season go check the last 3 playoffs stats.
@@playforkeeps3536 Overall you gave me trash arguments. Lebron scored 0,2 pts on 0.2% efficiency better in Regular season. Nothing about last season Lakers were impressive, 7th seed who barely made it to the playoffs just to look like a Junior Varsity team in the first round and got bounced.
Lebron is better no debate skill wise on obviously legacy however kawhi is not far of at his best he is around that 2-5 range in the league behind only Lebron kd maybe ad and maybe curry all at there best and in a league today that’s so talented being even 5 on that last is a major praise

It’s 2021 Bro KD is considered a Top 3 player why are you assuming Kawhi is gonna fall off?
Kawhi the klaw no.1
If kawhi had lebrons health youd have him also in the goat debate. If zaza didnt stand under him the 2017 ecf spurs were favourite to come out of the west and more the likely win the finals same again for this past season if he didnt do his acl
If kyrie and love wasn’t injured chip for lebron in 2015 east so stop the hypothetical
@@staywavee6474 fax
If healthy. Lebron is better
Kawhi is one of if not the worst playmaker and passer out of all top 10 players and let’s not forget he’s only played 60 games once out of the last 4 seasons. He is one of the worst leaders amongst all superstars and he has been coming up short in the playoffs since he joined the clippers because of that. Please don’t say kawhi has a case for being better than Lebron because that is just preposterous
2020 AD vs 2021 Giannis would be dope can’t do them now cuz ad was injured all year so compare 2020 verison
Easily Giannis man, he shoulda won MVP and dpoy this season again
@@DirtyBonnie I don’t know about it being easily 2020 AD was shooting 50-40-90 in the nba finals
@@JOHNNYPMUSIC one series doesn't make him better lol. Giannis and ad used to be a debate but it ended a while ago.
@@leanmeanmenace1744 so when ad won his ring in 2020 I could’ve said the debate ended there ? That’s not how it works lol
@@JOHNNYPMUSIC even after the ring unless u was one of those lakers fan who put bron 1 and ad 2 giannis was still better since he always aggressive as a number 1 option and always healthy, two major things ad consistently struggle with
Kl is not even close claw more like injury prone
The only knock I have on Lebron is the fact that he actually has zero go to moves. Like absolutely zero. It is so rare you will see him come down the court and bust somebody ass cause he knows he can. That’s killer mentality. Obviously his bag is crazy but I don’t see any bread and butter go to moves.
His spin move ?
@@happysad7768 I would say his hesitation at the 3 is more of his signature but his spin is nasty if not the best
@@timothymoore2966 have you seen Kawhi's spin move finishing off with the monster dunk? The Klaw has a lot of go to moves and a clutch player, he even blocked Lebron in the Spurs Miami series. Lebron is scared of Kawhi ask him!
Compare to their prime time lebron is surely better ... But for now klaw is a better offensive player fo sure
Ppl really overreact to free throws lol they like field goals in my opinion they don’t really matter unless it’s the game winners otherwise it’s just a dropped pass or missed like a 3 or layup would shit happens throughout the entirety of the game but when it’s money time gotta get it done ✅
Freethrows matter quite a lot
LeBitch airballs wide open free throws, MJ makes free throws with his eyes closed 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
On an efficiency and individual level: Kawhi Leonard
On an intangibles and team level: Lebron James
Kawhi Leonard (right now at least) is statistically the greatest 'winning' player in not just today's game, but in all of NBA HISTORY! Sure, 2 rings compared to 4 can muddle things up, but we do see, night in and night out, how consistent this man can be, and when needed to, can be that absolute Terminator on the court.
Lebron James on the other hand, my opinions on the man is biased as is considering 'the choice' and his premature self declaration as the GOAT (in my opinion at least), but I do give props for his ability to make players around him the absolute best that they can be. On the Heat, Lebron allowed Dwayne Wade and Ray Allen to become even greater after they were reaching low ends of their careers. He also propelled inconsistent and upcoming stars like Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, and J.R. Smith, in his return to Cleveland to win them a championship by making them great players for the time he's on the court.
I guess this conversation all depends on how you want to build your team really.
You speak facts.
KD vs Curry (or giannis) Next And then Kyrie vs CP3
And then Beal and Jimmy Buckets
I’ll take KD, Kyrie, Beal
@@playcost Curry, Kyrie, Beal
@@diegorivera9474 not a bad choice
Lakers were looking very good up 2-1 and Lbj was looking healthy against Suns, but soon as AD went down Bron was not able to get 1 win and the injury excuse started again….Kawhi at this point is a better player
Looking healthy but he took more jumpers and drove less than he normally does for a reason
@@alexescutia4805 the reason is that he’s not as explosive as before, his age shows a lot when he drives by missing a lot of easy layups
@@kwamenyame5628 yes that’s why lebron was a top 3-5 mvp candidate before his injury. It’s just his age 😂
@@alexescutia4805 every body at some point last season was a Mvp candidate
@@kwamenyame5628 no…they weren’t…lmao only real talks bout it was jokic embiid harden steph lebron
Giannis
Lebron entering year 19 in The NBA and they still talking about who is better than him or who is not That’s unreal shit most Elitev people only get to play 10 seasons some even less and lebron in year 19 that’s some unreal shit 👑🐐 Unreal durability and Unreal stamina
Kawhi Better than Bron
The only person in basketball that can draw crowds out of the stadium
They're definitely not close on the all time list. But everything else is cool
Ppl debate on whether harden or kawhi gets the 5 spot on the lists … that should answer the question
whoever debates that is an idiot but I see your image so theres no use convincing you of anything
@@roningrant759 I mean free this szn… the top 5 i see for the most part in no order … Bron , kd , steph , giannis , kawhi / harden i have kawhi but that’s what i see
No love for the joker?
@@timothymoore2966 not In the TOP 5 no offense. top 10 definitely
@@timothymoore2966 he comes in at 8 or 9
4 rings and finals mvp and season is better than 2 rings and 2fmvp 🤷🏻♂️ and to those brainless people think kawhi is at the same level as lebron u know nothing about basketball.
According to your logic..Bill Russel is better than mj...and kawhi is better than bron when they play 1v1
2-1>3-6-1 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'd suggest comparing young players and predict who will be better 5 years from now. We can revisit the videos down the road.
1) Morant vs Fox
2) Booker vs Mitchell
3) Lavine vs Shai
Lebron is not all nba defense type player anymore idk what basketball you was watching this season or last season his defense has declined a lot
He was in DPOY conversations before injurie even if it pains me to say.
Kawhi is unpredictable, klaw looks like have a little bit of t-mac mentality, he’s good and he’s really a dangerous at any NBA STAR PLAYER
Right now if both are healthy I slightly favour Kawhi for his defense and shooting. It's very close though
You earned a like
Kawhi is the better player than Lebron! He elevated and and singlehandedly give Toronto Raptors their first and only championship without any help and superstar team mate and did it with all humility and without flair. Even Lebron is scared of Kawhi Leonard (evidently seen in his video reaction when Kawhi was checking in while his about to take his foul shots). Lebron Is very disrespectful and arrogant when he said that he is the GOAT! Disrespectful to the players played before him who played the game and current player he is playing with. Even Kyrie Erving is better than him, (he made the winning basket against the GSW). Lebron is not a clutch player like Kawhi, Kyrie, Lillard, Mitchell, Booker, Durant, Thompson, Curry, etc. You CAN NOT trust his mid range, 3 -point shooting, low post and leadership when the game is on the line. Remember when Kyrie was asked who will he give the ball to when the game is crucial, without hesitation he said Durant not Lebron! Lebron only won championship because he surrounded himself with superstars. Lebron can not duplicate what Kawhi did to Toronto Raptors. Casing point: Look what Lebron did when AD was injured last play off first round, HE DID NOTHING, HE DID NOT EVEN PUT UP A FIGHT!!! Result: Lakers lose their title defense in the first round. Kawhi is the better player than Lebron hands down. How many times Kawhi hit a game winning shot? How many player he posterized in a monster dunk? How about his spin cycle, cross over, post up, mid range, free throw shooting and 3 pointers. Don't forget his defensive skills that handcuff the opposing best players, ask Lebron himself? He's scared of Kawhi. Lebron IS AN OVER RATED BASKETBALL PLAYER! The great Charles Barkley is right! Lebron is whiny and doesn't want to compete. Put Lebron and Kawhi on one on one game. Kawhi is going to humiliate him. Should I say more?
lebron still betta
Kawhi is in a “who’s better?” debate against a 37 year old . Of course it’s LeBron
If u think kawhis better even rn your really slow
That’s not saying much big men age better than everyone. bron is big enough to get in the post and play PF doing his thing plus Him improving around the perimeter makes it easier . For example of all the top ten play players in all time scoring only 2 players are under 6’7 and 230 pounds….Kobe and MJ
Breh don't miss
bro kawhi is not close to lebron ALL-TIME good video though bro keep up the good content ❤️
He said rn lmao
My answer is NOTA (None Of The Above).
This video explained why Kawhi is the better player…your conclusion on the basis of playmaking is biased and shortsighted when Kawhi beats lebron in all the other categories you mentioned
Seriously in what way is kawhi leonard better at basketball than leBron james ? historically or currently I'm genuinely befuddled do you even watch basketball ? and by chance that you do do you know what your watching ?
LeBron's playmaking alone sets him apart , the man has nearly as many assist as kawhi has career points not to mention he's lead the league in assist when has kawhi even come close to doing that ? kawhi developed his game thru watching tons of film & relentless hard work and he should be commended for that but LeBron's game is something you can't teach the way he controls the tempo , his feel for the game , his athletic ability I don't know maybe it's me but I just don't see it 🤷♂️
@@playforkeeps3536 I believe you didnt watch the game. This video is made to decide who is CURRENTLY better, and currently the facts are Kawhi is a better scorrer, a better defender, a better shooter, meanwhile Lebron is a better playmaker and higher basketball iq, so its 3>2 goes Kawhi way if you wanna go like this.
@@ZanosuMangustasYa know what let's use your flawed criteria
Better Scorer 🤔 let's see about that 25ppg 51% shooting ( 51.4 ) on 33 minutes per game which is more points than kawhi on a higher field goal percentage than kawhi and less minutes than kawhi
Shooting sure I'll give this one to kawhi.... leBron's jumper is a bit streaky although when he's 🔥 he's lethal ever heard of logo leBron lol
And my favorite lol defense ok so kawhi played 52 games last season Lebron 45 games Lebron was head and shoulders better than Kawhi defensively by every metric while leading the D without AD to #1 ranking in the NBA Clips were #8
Matter fact in january of last season while kawhi was somewhere load managing leBron allowed opponents to shoot just 30% when he's the contesting defender by far the best in the NBA and If you up the minimum to 100 FGA Bron also ranks 1st in FG pct as the closest defender 36.0% on contested or uncontested shots
Kawhi is a hell of defender 2 time DPOY but the truth is he isn't the defender he was in san antonio nor is he a better defender than leBron
We aren't even getting into things like passing , court vision , rebounding and finishing in transition....
@@playforkeeps3536 I see you bringed regular season statistics, which is useless, considering the fact that Kawhi is 24.8 ppg as a PERIMETER scorrer on 51.2% eff while shooting almost 40% 3 pt and almost 90% from ft. So that is almost 50-40-90 club. Yeah Lebron shot better because he did it in the paint most of the times.
Also you somehow forgot that Lebron defensively gave up on MULTIPLE possesions, because he looked gassed. Go check youtube videos, plenty od footage there. So Kawhi is a far better defender and its not even close. Also Kawhi is a better offensive player in the post season go check the last 3 playoffs stats.
@@playforkeeps3536 Overall you gave me trash arguments. Lebron scored 0,2 pts on 0.2% efficiency better in Regular season. Nothing about last season Lakers were impressive, 7th seed who barely made it to the playoffs just to look like a Junior Varsity team in the first round and got bounced.
Top 5 in today’s game. 1. Lebron 2. Kd 3. Giannis 4. Kawhi 5. Curry 6. Embiid 7. Jokic 8. Luka 9. Dame 10. Harden
AD vs Giannis
No its giannis easily
@@yuhgirlamy5731 I think I’m aggressiveness yea but Ad killing him in skill
@@newman9022 yup that's why he a better scorer defender passer giannjs don't got skill tho right
For this season its giannis.
@@yuhgirlamy5731 I never said he don’t got skill and defender is arguably. Better passer yea but shooting is all AD
making great videos dude love this series and how original it is with the players you choose to compare
For me is kawhi better than lebron,lebron juz winning bcoz of super team..shit lebron
It’s still weird saying Lebron is a laker
8:06 Goku style man is cultured😈💪
You make really good Videos, i love them
I dont have to watch this, the like ratio summarizes it.
Regular season Kawhi or Playoff Kawhi 🤔🤔
Playoff Kawhi >>> Lebron
Lebron is better no debate skill wise on obviously legacy however kawhi is not far of at his best he is around that 2-5 range in the league behind only Lebron kd maybe ad and maybe curry all at there best and in a league today that’s so talented being even 5 on that last is a major praise
This video shouldn’t be a thing. Maybe kawhi vs giannis or one of them vs kd but this is undisputed. Lebron all day
Lol no debate Kd vs Lebron is a better debate
Kawhi is my favorite player and I feel like for the past 3 seasons kawhi been better but overall lebron is going down as the better player
That's not the question
Naw bron is better but his old so not really. Kawhi is just injury prone so he doesn’t show
@@greekyoungbuck kawhi is better
@@okeythegoat2332 kawhi is better and has been better than Lebron the past 3 seasons in my opinion
