  • Kawhi Leonard may be the quietest MVP candidate in league history. Any casual fan realizes that he is among the top ranks in the NBA, but very little truly understand how great he really is. It takes an in-depth exploration to genuinely see, so check one out above!

    He really makes defense exciting.

    @almarkush Před 7 lety +441

    His offensive skill set reminds me of Michael Jordan. Obviously, not as aggressive but their mid range jumpers are similar. Kawhi is still on a learning phase but when he reaches his peak, it'll be over for everybody. Not to mention, the dude plays for Spurs system. He's basically the combination of pippen and Jordan lol

      Mark Negrido same shit I said. some moves look a lil stiff but once that experience comes it's over like you said lol

    • @doogzman
      @doogzman Před 7 lety +14

      Jordan uses his emotions as fuel though....I know Kawhi's personality is different but hopefully he has the same burning passion Jordan and Kobe did even though he does not show it.

    • @DownloadEvony
      @DownloadEvony Před 6 lety +59

      Prettyboyretard ll honestly his dead silent thing irritates people so much though. And not in a way that might get a fire under them like trash talk. But in a pure frustration kinda way, where they are crying to the refs instead of getting back on D lol.

    • @ArkbladeIX
      @ArkbladeIX Před 6 lety +10

      Prettyboyretard ll if he trash talked to the level of someone like MJ Ben mclemore would be out of the league lol

    • @brachavo1833
      @brachavo1833 Před 6 lety +19

      jemanuel Yeah he's not affected by anything and that could be a trashtalk to the trashtalker. It's effective to leave your emotions at the door and just perform.

    • @DownloadEvony
      @DownloadEvony Před 6 lety +3

      Chris Johnson but do you not see like the players get deflated by that sometimes. They are so frustrated they go bitch to the refs. And start to slump and get irritated. I love that, but it's only doable when your defense is as high level as him.
      Nothing wrong with trashtalk though. That works too lol. GP was as high level as they get defensively and his talk was effective.

    He's my MVP this season no one plays perimeter defense like him AND carries their teams offensive load too... But that's ​just my opinion I don't wanna piss off any Westbrook or Harden fans

    • @nbam.a.t.a9350
      @nbam.a.t.a9350 Před 7 lety +4

      DaiTB Yh admit he's good and i know cuz he my fav player but his whole team is amazing too, parker, aldrige, green, ginobilli, mills...etc. He is not a carry like harden or westbrook, he's an amazing player with an amazing team.

    that was an awesome breakdown of kawhi, clear and concise, learned so much, great video!
    small suggestion, since a lot of text is on the screen for explaining (and i know you're trying to keep things short already), it might help to highlight (bold/change to a visible alternative color) for the eyes to quickly see the main point!

    @tiitsay Před 7 lety

    I was sitting behind my kitchen table, eating breakfast and wanted to watch something good from youtube. Usually NBA players mix videos have agressive music and the video has too many effects, so I didnt want any of that.
    But this video here got me rethinking. Firstly the soundtrack got me to stay and then I noticed some cool font and overall the build-up of it was very smooth to watch. I really liked that video and now I like Kawhi even more and he sure is interesting to watch. Didn't also know about all those details about him.
    It was a great choice of breakfast videos for sure. 10 points!

  • @hazevt04
    @hazevt04 Před 7 lety

    Great videos! It points out a lot of things that I never noticed. Love the music! Kawhi was already a great defender and now he can catch and shoot, shoot the post fadeaway, pull-up, and take people off the dribble. I bet Tim Duncan taught him how to shoot that 2-foot floater. He shoots it just like Duncan did.

    • @TheLegend-mu5hh
      @TheLegend-mu5hh Před 7 lety

      Leo_Cerberus Yes I understand that. I am in sixth grade playing division one 12u basketball, I play the point guard position but average around 25 I go to all these camps and etc. I'm fricken good..... ok my point is that most the point guards I play are around 4'8 I am 5'3 so compared to my opponents I'm big, I am also VERY above average athletic player I could jump to touch higher mid net which is like 9 feet ( or not ) which is why still being not that tall with the position I play I can try to Mimic the play style of Kawais with the post fadeaways and his defense

    • @PyroInferno110
      @PyroInferno110 Před 7 lety +1

      Ryan Gonzlaez height dont mean nothing...by strength im talkin about how much u weigh and stuff...and if u eat healthy and can stay in the game for 2 quarters but ur pretty young so ur gonna get taller either but there are people below 6'0 that can dunk

    • @TheLegend-mu5hh
      @TheLegend-mu5hh Před 7 lety +2

  • @Retronome
    @Retronome Před 7 lety

    i love this channel and series but one thing i would like to see is how these individual player strengths might apply (or disadvantage) players of different skill level or stature. i mean it's all and good having a detailed insight into how an elite player like kawhi but i cant help but wonder how the same skillset or decisions would affect my game if i were to apply the same fundamentals (i am 6'2). for example, kawhi's defensive stance allows him to attack his defender without exposing the passing lane because of his great length and speed, but this would not work for me because i just do not have the length to cover as much ground as effectively as someone who is 6'7, let alone kawhi leonard. maybe comparing to such lanky athletes is a bit of a stretch, but even when comparing to a player of more similar stature like chris paul who is 6'0 (again using me for comparison, i am slightly taller than paul), an average player still cannot pull off shots over longer defenders the way he does. would really love to see videos covering this sort of thing so an everyman baller like me can identify the discrepancies between us and these incredible athletes and improve his game! thanks for the amazing videos!

    Great video! Kawhi's fundementals are incredible, his offensive game is Jordan-esque and defense even better than Pippen.

    When you had that "surveying" caption up it reminded me of what a robot would announce as it scans for weaknesses.

    Great videos. Isaiah Thomas Celtics breakdown next? Specifically his finishing ability?

    Close to perfection.... so close. All he needs is consistency. (Not that he hasn't had any, he just needs few more seasons)

      and a point guard who isn't 60. once Manu and TP are gone i think that's when he'll truly hit his prime, he'll be forced to be the leader of the team at that point and so far he's exceeded all expectations.

    Arguably the most intelligent player since MJ
