Kawhi just straight up wasn't on that level up until recently. Wouldn't have mattered what team he was on

He wasn't capable of doing this until recently like 3 years ago. His offense repertoire has gotten exponentially better even from when he won that finals MVP in 2014.

KD though my gawd, an Achilles away from really having the claim to be the best player in the decade, yes even over THAT guy.

You're drunk, go sit down.

4 MVPs > 1 MVP
 
Kawhi didn't start seeing decent usage until the 2014-15 season and put up elite numbers from that point onward. One season he played nine games so that means nothing. He absolutely deserves it.
 
Funny to say, Canada having soo many NBA players is basically a disadvantage. :lol:

at least European teams can rely on chemistry and continuity from playing together all their lives to make up for the talent disparity.



Canada has NBA players who are too bougie to suit up in non - Olympic events,

so no chemistry, and the players we do have are not talented enough to make up for the lack of continuity.
 
Going back to this list, If Kobe and Wade are there idk how Duncan isn’t.

And this list will fuel the nonsense Melo narrative for another week at least.

Duncan 10-16 14/9/3 (4 all star, 3 all NBA)

NAH

Wasn't eem better than LMA. YIKES
 
duncan has more rings combined that lebum and injury prone (torn ACL next season) AD
 
First day of practice today, Blue v White game on Friday

USA National Team members expected at the World Cup training camp include Bam Adebayo (Miami Heat); Harrison Barnes (Sacramento Kings); Jaylen Brown (Boston Celtics); Kyle Kuzma (Los Angeles Lakers); Brook Lopez (Milwaukee Bucks); Kyle Lowry (Toronto Raptors); Khris Middleton (Milwaukee Bucks); Donovan Mitchell (Utah Jazz); Mason Plumlee (Denver Nuggets), Marcus Smart (Boston Celtics); Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics); P.J. Tucker (Houston Rockets); Myles Turner (Indiana Pacers); Kemba Walker (Boston Celtics); and Thaddeus Young (Chicago Bulls)

The 14-man USA Basketball Select Team includes Jarrett Allen (Brooklyn Nets); Marvin Bagley III (Sacramento Kings); Mikal Bridges (Phoenix Suns); Jalen Brunson (Dallas Mavericks); John Collins(Atlanta Hawks); Pat Connaughton (Milwaukee Bucks); Craig; De’Aaron Fox (Sacramento Kings); Joe Harris (Brooklyn Nets); Jonathan Isaac (Orlando Magic); Jaren Jackson Jr. (Memphis Grizzlies); Mitchell Robinson (New York Knicks); Derrick White (San Antonio Spurs); and Trae Young (Atlanta Hawks)
Bam over Bagley/JJJ? Who made that choice?
 
Why would Duncan post 2010 make that list?
Why did Wade or Kobe? They both spent the 2010s looking like shells of themselves, Wade especially. Kobe got hurt so hard to really judge it but he didnt have a great 2010s

Duncan was still playing high level basketball and contributing to high amounts of wins. Tim Duncan has a legitimate case against anyone in that third team spot imo.
 
What did Kobe do post 2010?

-Get swept in 2011 by the Mavs.
-Get gentleman swept by OKC in 2012 2nd round.
-Disappoint with the Dwight/Nash super team and barely make the playoffs.
-Fail to make the playoffs from there on out.

Let's see won a chip and finals MVP to start the decade. Made 4 all NBA 1st teams & 3 all NBA defensive teams before blowing out his Achilles. Still averaged 25/5/5 despite having 3 washed seasons to end his career.

So yea way more than Duncan. Timmy was just washed for a while except that 13 season with no injury excuse.
