Nobody in the league now compares to Jordan. Especially not KaLIE. AE isn't vicious enough.

anthony edwards gets a big Jokerfied grin when he sees Durant mentally accept defeat in that last game. I loved it.

he's the real deal, i bet he slicks back his hair and has a shirt with cool patterns.

if Kawhi played like ~15% more games in his career, or given his postseason performance even just 15 more playoff games, I think he'd be talked about as a top 10-15 all time player. he's so good, especially in the playoffs, but despite winning two finals/finals MVP my main impression of him is that he's a letdown

yeah around his time in TOR and first season in LA he was seen as potentially the best player in the league, but the inability to stay on the floor ESPECIALLY in the playoffs has really hurt his legacy

Ant is the best star you can ask for: preternaturally talented and super into it on the court but a friendly rear end dude off court.

he's basically got the pre-2023 reputation of a Kelce brother in that he's a big ol golden retriever - and it's a very enjoyable archetype to root for after having Xanax Wiggins and Sad Boi KAT (Ant is even making KAT a happy dude!)

Honestly keeping Kawhi healthy enough through the 2018-19 season alone made the raptors championship a miracle.

But god watching that run he was just unstoppable. He had the strength to get anywhere he wanted on the court, sink step back 3s when the team needed them, and he still would put up great defense. And then there's The Shot.

I'm getting 2021 hawks vibes off these knicks. Brunson bases his game off leaning into defense while shooting, just like trae did before nba refs stopped calling them.

I missed the Michael Jordan Era, but watching Kawhi made me think, "Oh, this is why people liked Michael Jordan."

Yeah, if nothing else it was cool to see a guy who had a great midrange game like Jordan.
