They don't wanna get it. I been saying Steph has tendency to go ghost during a series and people got offended. He's great but we've seen him vanish at times and go ice cold. 2016 was terrible for him. Blowing a 3-1 lead with game 7 at home, Now this TRASH finals performance. :smh: :lol:


But aye he better than Magic they say...
“People just say this because he’s light skinned. He’s a rags to riches story and everyone hates him”

:rofl: @wavycrocket
 
Currently, Kawhi is a rich man's Bill Walton in terms of all-time rankings. Walton had one of the greatest seasons ever in 1976-77, but ultimately he didn't dominate long enough. Kawhi has had 3, maybe 4 seasons where he was truly an elite player. Until he gets some more seasons under his belt, you need to stop with this top 10 bull ****. It's crazy what people will say in the heat of the moment.
 
exactly. people have mentioned it EVERY time he has won, that the win didnt land on HIS shoulders. they bring up his lack of finals mvps in every debate. and many of us were calling out his body language all series. especially after klay went down tonight. it was all over his face he knew he didnt have it.

as far as bad finals performances and his legacy... once is a fluke. twice is a coincidence. but 3 times?

mans face said it all
then after Klay went down what he do
score like 4 points, 0-4 3's, 4 TO's? lol

i thought he should've won mvp the year russ won it
 
Aint gonna lie... Steph need to re-evaluate his game mane... In the crunch you need to be like the 72' Lakers Gail Goodrich/Jerry West... If you're down by 1 points drive to the basket or drive to the foul line and shot a two.. Forcing up a 3 point haymaker :smh:
 
Would be really curious to see your top 10, and which player who is normally considered top 10 you kick out for a player who is currently sitting at fewer career points than Mehmet Okur.

Kawhi beat prime Lebron and prime Steph and was the best player on the floor when he did it.

LeBron behind Magic and Larry?
Kobe in the top 9?
Kawhi in the top 10? (I need to see it for another for five years including dominating the regular season and playoffs)
No Hakeem?
No Bill Russell?
KD in the top 10?

Lebron is not better than Magic or Larry. Yes Kobe is higher up than #10 on the list. Kawhi took down prime steroid pumped Lebron at 22 years old and was the best player on the winning team. Half a decade later he takes down a team that was unbeatable 2 weeks ago and was the best player on the whole court. Hakeem’s biggest claim to fame was the fact that Michael retired. Bill Russell was playing against 5’10 dudes who delivered milk in the off season. And yes Kevin Durant is a top 10 player to ever touch a basketball even though he is a *****.

Umm you got Kobe over Duncan, must be a mistake

Duncan put up 81?

Don't have the energy but, too soon man. I think you know that deep down inside.

Nope. Kawhi is special and hasn’t gotten the respect he deserves. Look at his body of work in the biggest moments and can’t see how anyone disagrees. Remember when winning in Oracle was impossible? Kawhi doesn’t. 4 straight....like what??
 
Steph didnt have to win this game by himself, he just needed to come through after klay went down. But everybody could see It in his face and body language that even he knew he didnt have it in him. Not sure what the problem is but we all have seen this time and time again. He just isnt cut for that role, not even sure if there is anything he can do to fix it.

Talk to 'em
 
Steph got the gift n the curse word to R Kelly

Same tough shot he made last game he took it again and missed
That’s the thing with taking tough shots

Who doesn't give Kawhi the respect he deserves?

Where are you getting this idea from?

You don't see how anyone could disagree? Is that what you are seriously doing? I can tell you how someone would disagree. Look at his Years of Service compared to Everyone else on your list and whoever would be the next 10 on the 11-20 list.

He isn't there yet.

Again, I think you know this deep down inside
