Kawai Just turned into Michael Jordan
Bruh did you really write Kawai
He been, he beat legoat before
jeez he was on fire 🔥
Unpopular opinion: kawhi would clamp jordan
@@takecarebpk hmmm. Legoat also beat him.
Kawhi is definitely giving MJ vibes especially with that foot work he’s coming for that ring
Exactly. People just throw out comparisons these days to guys like MJ and LeBron like it’s nothing. Kawhi is just a less athletic MJ and the only MJ comparison that actually makes sense.
I was just saying to myself he uses his size and footwork remarkably well..and he can shoot 😱
NBA Fan For Life Jordan, Bryant and Leonard all similar
@@et5740 Yes just a bit less athletic but stronger legs and handling and finishing so similar to Mike
@@adamwayne101 Only MJ and Kobe are like sportscars where Kawhi is more like a truck
I heard somebody saying Kawhi was overrated... RIP
Yeah idiot colin cowherd
Ian Johnson he is overated
Laker Nation ok laker fan
Laker Nation
You wrote this cuz he didn’t sign with y’all 🥴
Still overrated
*Philly fans said they want Boston well they got Kawhi*
They got the wrong team🤣😂
@L Nah I don't know
I’m Celtics fan nothing stopping C’s from going to the finals
@@boonkareacts2626 Bucks will Destroy them niggas 🤣😂
Jordan B have that energy tmr
Mj and Scottie 2.0
Who? Kawhi and Siakam
The second coming if kawhi stays in toronto they will be the best perimeter defending duo in the league
Kawhidelphia 14-0 😂
Scratch that kawhi has all 6 infinity stones
Infinity Braids 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Here after watching this man drop 45 against the mavs game 6
45 points without forcing to score... its so easy for kawhi lets make it 17-0 againts philly
Kawhi is a less athletic less quick but slightly taller MJ. He got the perimeter defense, the big hands, and now the fade-away. Basic fade-away and simple points 👌
Not less athletic
Kawhi was less athletic but is stronger so there is a trade off there
@ATL 1 He is stronger, Mike has the characteristic thin legs and calfs, Kawhi's a truck hence the slightly less athletic but so similar movement
Kawhi is stronger and bigger version of MJ. But MJ is MJ no one is better than him. Kawhi is close.
He indeed is less athletic. Michael had a vertical of 48 inches and kwahi has 33. Both are a bit similar in defence but on the other end, Michael was a better scorer, passer and unstoppable finisher. Their is no comparison there.
For people who wonder how MJ would do in this era, take Kawhi and add some more athleticism. That would me MJ. Imagine what the goat would do to these fools.
Playoff Kawhi is his purest form
1:18
This man can beat GS on his own, he already proved that
Donald Trump facts I think everybody forgot how that game 1 was going
Facts
James Redic game 1 against gs until Zaza did the dirty. Back when kawhi was a spur.
Yeaha and Aldridge wasn’t himself too
specter290 while they were up 25 too
Believe it. This is the matchup i wanted for the Raps. Sry Philly
As a Raptor i still feel the pain of this Legend leaving us but atlas he did leave us a present before he left
This is a beautiful performance s
Toronto will win their first chip this year... I'm so proud of Kawhi👏🏾
True that
Show Marc Gasol clamping up that soft center Joel Embriick
Or Ben Simmons and jimmy butler getting clamped by Kawhi
And Tobbias
This Toronto Kawhi season is proof MJ would dominate in modern era too
Playoff kawhi is unstoppable
What about LBJ playoff mode button? 🤔🤔
marvin mendoza *2014 Finals
2014 finals he destroyed Lebron
That aged badly
@@salmanmohamed8371 this year don’t kount Kobe died in 2020 it’s only right the Lakers win the xhampionship kawhi will be baxk
Kawhi Leonard = Michael Jordan
Pascal Siakam = Scottie Pippen
Joel Embiid = African Greg Oden
Ben Simmons = 7 foot tall Michael Carter-Williams
Jordan would dominate this era the same way Kawhi is.
Kawhi Leonard more like Derozan but ok
Exactly. MJ was a slightly smaller Kawhi, with more athleticism than Kawhi. Some LeBron fans be so delusional😂🤦🏼♂️
The Darkfrost derozan never scored with the volume or efficiency nor did he have the defensive prowess of MJ lol.
NBA Fan For Life kawhi was never as close athletically like MJ at least right now because spurs kawhi was on another level athletically.
Joshua Dompreh skill wise? They’re pretty close. Not in mentality tho.
Kawhi is on Mode Playoff!!!!🖐
Kawhi is a mini giannis? Kawhi is Giannis' Father 😂😂
He was talking about siakam lol
aged poorly
@@andrijastimac8548 how?
So Kawhi was MJ with cornrows and a nice laugh after all :D
Did anyone get a notification that was weird it was like letters and numbers
TheGoat HCR yeah
TheGoat HCR same I was so confused
Ya
Same
Yep
He is just a rock. No other way to put it.
Absolute Dominance! Kawhi is just science, unstoppable...
Kawhi kd are best in world
Kawhi MVP finals.
Don't let this video distract you from the fact that Russell Westbrook is sitting at home right now being salty.
and so is leduane, lekyrie,leray allen, or lechoke
nah
Westbrook on 2K trying to practice Quadruple doubles for next season.
Salty like an ocean of westbrick tears
Not just a plain home in russ’s brick home
I'm so early that the Notification IS IN NUMBERS
Same
That happened to me to
this guy deserves every penny
Last time I was this early this wasn’t an overused comment
KAWHI LEONARD IS A MACHINE!!!!!
I ain’t gon lie I almost forgot how nice he is 🤦🏾♂️
Can we just say so far these playoffs have been pretty good without lebron
Uhhh, No, have you not watch the first round? It's been boring as hell, even the 7 game series, are between two teams took turns to make mistakes. Dame vs Rus is the only real excitement.
the New Ulysses Smith III the ratings went down a lot this year
@@therocklau So you don't look at Nuggets Spurs series
Well for me I’m surprised that I don’t miss him being in the playoffs as I thought I would
yes but i don't think it would matter
The Claw! 💯🔥
Nothing can stop the claw!!!
so effordlessly. Kawhi in the form now
Kawhi is the best player in the NBA
C.J Armstrong Kawhi #2
Nice title
This guy is the best
Anyone else get a weird ass title for this video in their notifications?
Kawhi owns the Sixers like Dame owns the Thunder
Kawhi Leonard is a MACHINE...
Im a Celtics fan. I was hoping Philadelphia could win some how. It’s only one game, but this is the scariest team in the East. ( The Raptors)I believe we will beat the Bucks, then it’s going to be a battle. The East is under rated imo.
1:54 I bet that hurt lol. Should be an offense foul but Simmons didn't fall. But Kawhi might be my new favorite player, that man is balling
Warriors still blew a 3-1 lead in my book
Old Joke that no one cares
lol
@@darylpryde chillax buddy
Yea kawhi also
watching this with only 2000 views on it
Wow kawhi doing great while demar choking again
Back at it again Kawhi
This is true Playoffs mode.
That’s a wrap folks in GaMe 1
Best player in the playoffs
Happy Kawhi KD
Coach Pops and Spurs Organization punching the air as we speak.
James HardGOAT why? That organization constantly produces no names into stars. They’ve got Murray and White developing rn.
You know who’s punching air. The lakers....and James harden after his flops weren’t called
Got recommended after he dropped 45 last night
I just watched the whole video only to realize that this wasn't last night's performance against the Mavs 🤦♂️
Yoo i got a weird name for the notification
ッGoonkyFab same hahaha
3:00 practice shot for game 7
Goated
crazy
Yeah that NBA video name says it all LMAO
It is the guy who hasn’t missed a game of Toronto raptors
Kobe would've needed 40 shots to do this but Kawhi 16-23, that's why we miss him on the Spurs.
Don't slander Kobe peon. The man has 5 rings
He got his first win against the Sixers.
07-05-19.
Kawhi hitting all those green beans!
Kawhi is a god
Kawhi was bussing Butler and Harris ass sheesh Simmons next?
the only guy who can stop kd in both sides of the floor in this playoffs
1:20 was sick
Raptors in 5.
Kawhi please come back to the spurs we need you and miss you 😢😭😭😭😭😭🤧🤧🤧😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Your a Genius. Ya u guys could use him I’m so sad we didn’t get him I’m a laker fan I rather have him Over AD
The King Of The North has arrived
Winter has come😂🤣😜
He just played good in game 1
Raptors in 5 (or less)
I want to see leonard vs giannis in the conference final it is going to be a great matchup
Giorgos Maniakas If Giannis makes it
Yes
We've got to respect Kawhi! The guy lead the Raptors past a team with Embiid, Butler, Ben Simmons and Tabiad Harris
4️⃣5️⃣ for the "fun guy"
Best 2-way player or PG13 ?
💪💪✌
I feel that the Raptors will beat the Sixers cos of Kawhi
Philly bouta get swept😂😂
Close Et what do you think now buddy. We were the closest to beating the nba champions
Someone said embiid is unstoppable. Damn right
5-18FG
and they say Harden is unguardable. this guy is literally unguardable.

dude plays so similar to michael, jesus
It's#BostonCelticsNation4Life Here
*Raps in 4!*
Kahwi's hands are wider than my head
Anyone else see kawhi’s interview
I'm a fan of kawhi leonard
Hey guys do you see the title of this game after that philidelphia etc.
He carrying the raptors to the finals
I hope
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What the hell happened to the title lmao
Was his offense always this good? I feel like he more fluid and has so many different moves like kobe. Tell me please
Definitely wasn’t. He is a self made superstar and worked on perfecting his craft.
Man went off
Hey guys , i see a lot of posts saying KAWHI is the best Nba player ... Some others still taking Durant ... And after come Giannis and Harden ... This is what i noticed . And you ? who do you take?
Kawhi destroying the whole Philly squad
Philly should have got Zsa Zsa.
