@@fabriziotrocchia2302ok the clippers caused half his career airballs. you happy? kawhi is getting doubled and tripled in this exact same video btw and i count 0 airballs.
@@Defense701 They're really even, which makes it a very, very rare matchup. What we saw in Rd 1 WCF was only a 70% KD. Kawhi was close to being optimal, around 90% - that's why he outplayed Kevin.
Durant could get a solid shot at sinking those balls with a stand-and-shoot agains Kawhi, especially because of his height. BUT, if he goes for a drive or a crossover, his chances drop a lot when he's up against Kawhi's defense. I consider the latter as a true 1 on 1
People always debate whether Kawhi is better than KD. Here's my take. KD is a slightly better scorer. And i mean slightly. Lol. Kawhi better defense. Strength is Kawhi. Handles. I dont know. They both got nice handles. Mid-range game. Ah. Its close but id go Kawhi. 3 point accuracy. Ima give it to Durant but Kawhi is a very underrated 3 point shooter. Im only saying Durant because thats more of his game but Kawhi shoots them just as good. Post game. I got Kawhi. Basically Durant is the slightly better scorer but Kawhi is the best player. He does it all. When healthy Kawhi is better all around than KD. Sorry KD fans. 😅😅
Me personally. I’m Taking KD over Kawhi at the Small forward wing position. But I have my reasons. With that being said let’s not act like Kawhi doesn’t beat Durant almost every time they played each other over the years. Kawhi Won a Ring with the Spurs and still gave KD fits when he played the warriors. And Kawhi beats KD when he played for the raptors. Literally every match up highlights including Kawhi , you simply see him destroying his matchup. KD and Kawhi both have 2 rings , but I still have KD as the 2nd best Small Forward of all time after Lebron. Bird as the 4th and Scotti Pippin as the 5th 💯💯💯
@@Yaqztrey5 I can’t think of one season or game that’s proof of KD getting the better of Kawhi when they’re matched up with each other. I’d take KD over Kawhi but people down play Kawhi as if he’s not a top 7-8 player in the league. He and KD both have 2 rings. And Kawhi got his without a super team!
@@jiraiyaangels so Kd is better but kawhi did it without a superteam . Your saying that to downplay Kd but that 51 point game vs Toronto he got the better of that match up. If you wanna say they lost , that has nothing to do with 1 on 1. Even before he got injured in the finals he was on pace to dropping 40 scoring 12 and missing only 1 shot . Stop bro
@@Yaqztrey5 maybe you’re right bro. I’d take KD over Kawhi, but modern people down play and look over Kawhi as if he didn’t shut down Lebron and beat the heat Superteam. And he would have got’em twice if it wasn’t for Ray Allen. I’m just saying, KD and Kawhi both have 2 rings but unlike KD and Lebron , Kawhi won without a superteam
KD hates Kawhi because he know Kawhi gon stay in his shit and make him work extra hard. I mean I give KD a few edges when they do match up. I think KD is the purer shooter and shoots 3s maybe a little better but Kawhi is underrated as a 3 point shooter. KD really just has a prettier shot. Midrange? I'd say Kawhi but probably more even. Handles. I'd go Kawhi. Driving to the basket? I think that's even too. Post up? I feel like that's even too. Although I'd give to slight edge to KD because he dam near 7 feet😅. Defense? You know it's Kawhi. Kawhi be straight up mugging dudes for that rock like" Give me that! Scoring wise? It use to be KD but Kawhi caught up and is now still one of the best 2 way players in the NBA. Once he left San Antonio. His ppg average went up every year. I think it's pretty even like for instance if KD score 36, Kawhi gon have 35 but will probably have 3 steals and a couple blocks. KD is a good defender as well. This will be a debate 20 years from now on TH-cam. Like they do now. With 4 NBA players who've long retired saying which player was the best 2 way player: Kawhi Leonard, LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Jimmy Butler or something. Lol
@@JKlutz3like we’re we even watching the same video. KD was cookin dat DPOY caliber player all game. They matched up equally this game. But boy did KD outshine the Clippers real soon👀
No one can guard KD is actually a stupid take. Defense is not about your points. It's about the timing of when you make your points. You can average elite efficiency and still be down 20. That's defense
this was so peak man for those two games. sad to see kawhi and pg injured, woulda been an all time series no doubt.
Healthy play off kawhi is the best in the world and everyone knows it.
Always has….
Kawhi is better
Yessir
Jokic>>>Kawhi
Sadly he's not 100 and probably never will be. Playoff Kawhi is a different beast.
Kawhi probably caused about half of KD’s career airballs in this series
how everytime he airballed there was 3 guys on him

No, it would have ended in 5 with Clippers going through
