Is Kawhi Leonard the best player in the NBA?
@Paul Kane
1. Bron
2. KD
3. AD
4. James Harden
5. Giannis
@Christopher Frazier Wow, not even top 5? Who you got up there?
@Memo Aragon explain
So 12 games into the new season with Kawhi on a new team, a new coach and a new system and hasn't played with PG yet, Nick now rips Kawhi as only the "4th" best player. Talk about being a prisoner of the moment and full of BS.
Nope. It's still LeBron. Idgaf. Kawhi don't even play back to backs foh
The Klaw is the best player in the league.
1 month before this video came out he said Steph Curry deserves to be in the discussion for best player in the world. He loves this topic! 😂
Teams win championships, and yes I do agree kawhi is a living legend . He might still be in the process to be the best player of all time but he still a hoe😂
Kawhi might just destroy all the records!!!!!!
Maybe this is one of the cons of shooting so many threes in the new style basketball. You’re gonna have off nights from three when you shoot it at such a high clip like steph.
Kawhi got that Kobe, MJ focus. Lebron gets that dizzy look when he's on the biggest stage.
" KAWHI IS BETTER THAN LEBRON."
Nick Wright = Tom Green
Toronto had injuries too.Stop making up excuses for Lebron.
put healthy kd with raptors vs kawahi with same team kd wins gentlmen sweep.
tell us something we dont know dont fuken tell us something we already see.
man all this people aint got better shyttt to do beside talking none sent... what does it matter.. steph is one of best playa as wee all know... he won 3 champion almost 5.. just leave it at that.he still building his legacy untill he retired den u can judge but for now leave the fuken man.. all this fuker all talking bare bullsshyt...
That’s Kawhi
Leadership wise, Kachin is better than KD
What other player could possibly have carried this Raptors team to a championship? I can't think of any.
that was an extremely tought shot and he didnt hit it cris just trolled him like smeegle did the ring
Soooooo....this same guy swings on LJ and yet he's calling this guy the best player in the world and oh yeah KD is being said to be the best player in the world. Stop with the Jordan James debate
Who cares about legacy? Do these youngsters realize Bill Russell won 11 rings? That Wilt Chamberlain once AVERAGED 50.4 pts for an entire season. These pundits all claim the NBA’s modern era is what counts. So who gives a rip about legacy? In 50 years, we’ll be talking about LeBron v.s. MJ as relics of the Early Modern NBA. What a waste of time.
Max Kellergirl started that stupid saying media say one thing and every medium runs with itAmerica is falling
Kevin Durant is NO longer the best player folks [he might have BEEN] ... but the fact or injury speaks for itself, he will need to prove it all over again when he recovers from the Achilles rupture that he was and still is the best ...
@Isaac Sekitoleko your ignorance regarding the ability to recover from a ruptured Achilles is your problem ... not realistic ...
WAS is not the same as IS ... he WAS the best before the injury ... he no longer IS the best due to the injury ...
Stupid hot take analysis. But that's the culture of basketball now $mh 🤦🤦...A 2x CHAMP & Fmvp, 4x scoring winner, 10+ all stars, 3rd ppg playoff history, etc etc....HAS to prove something 🤦🤦🤦🤦
Nick is DEFINITELY the wrong person to ask but, yes, Kawhi is the best.
Ray Allen would have made the 3
Kawhi is the best player because he went to the Raptors and played with what they had unlike lebron who when he goes to a new trades myst happen in order for him to win sad(lebron)
Kawhi is the best player in the world on the best new in the world! Raptors are the new dynasty!
MrEvanDavidson how are they the new dynasty? kawhi is leaving . And and they wont win another chip. to technically be a dynasty you gotta win multiple. not happening lol.
Lets be honest... KD fully healthy Warriors win again. KD wins final MVP. I think Kawhi is top 3, but KD is better along with LeBron. Both healthy are still better. I honestly would argue AD is even better fully healthy on a better team like the Lakers. Which we will see AD win MVP. 2020 you will heard AD top 2 in the world.
Facts on the KD thing...And AD nice but I still put Kd/Bron/Steph/Harden over him, possibly Giannis
Kawhaii justbeat gsw which lbj couldnt beat
Kawhaii is best player
Melson Peros LeBron did hear gsw lol.
@Melson Peros your a clown....no KD= easy path for Kawahi (& add no Klay G3&G4)
@E-Man sorry but that is a fantasy land of what ifs
LBJ beat thw GSW and he was d greatest player at that time
This yr how many games did LBJ play?
Who beat the GSW?
Melson Peros lebron DID beat gsw in the same form kawhi did. LeBron lost to the gsw plus KD. kawhi struggled to beat them without KD ANNNNDD KLAY. if klay was out too, LeBron woulda dominated them. raptors wouldn't be champions if KD and klay are healthy. as much as i hate to say that because I HATE the GSW. it's the truth man.
The stars where aligned for the raptors to win . I’m not even a raptors fan
I'm sick of people acting like Klay was getting 35 a game amd was some kinda hero. He had two good games him scoring 22,21,25,27 along with the two 30 point games is not enough. Steph had 47 and still lost these people gotta have a story a reason why they lost. They lost because they basically are the 2016 team that won 73 games then lost 3 strait and the chip. They added a 4 time scoring champ what were they spose to do lose with him? Steph and Klay both are known for disapperaing in the finals at the end of games so stop with this Klay got hurt made them lose...
If it was LeBron instead of Steph he would have been crucified!
Always under cutting Canadian teams # we the champions
for me to rule out kd I have to witness him come back to play and be unsuccessful, so until then he upthere...
If you asked all the teams, "Who would you rather have in the next 5 years, Lebron or Kawhi?", that would be a no-brainer: Kawhi of course 100 percent.
Stray dogs gossips about pitbuls.... They know nothing, they just wander...
Brad Stevens came up with that play. Everyone takes from each other.
I dnt think so cozz gs has 3 title and kawih 1 only ok..
I don’t get how Lebron is still considerd the best player in the game by some !He plays litle to no defense, and it’s a 2 way game, so it matters big time !!
Talkin two-way players, Kawhi no.1, Paul George no.2 best in the NBA today.... Durant and Le Braun do not qualify
Kawhi barely beats injured warriors team = best player in the world??? In what world? Pluto?!?
Brady W
I know, right?!
Lebron is not better than 2-way Kawhi.
Curry’s legacy “Can’t defend”
Kawhi gets the edge because of what he does on the defensive end
Kawhi is overrated
why is To Green on the panel???
Btw, Kawhi was getting lots of love for best player WHILE he was out injured.
Nick, you're most definitely the wrong person to ask. How in the world is Kawhi the best in the world? That's ridiculous.
Ryan Nichols
Totally!!
