Was 2019 Kawhi Leonard the best individual title run in NBA history?

I agree with pen. Hakeem’s a GOAT-tier defender & INSANELY smart, but he was blessed with top like 0.000001% genetics, just like almost every other historic defender
Fred’s a normal sized guy w ZERO athleticism & was STILL an All-D caliber guard. Great off-ball & super versatile

Dame really had the most efficient stretch of volume scoring in NBA history and everyone ignored it 😭😭😭
Genuinely the worst PR I’ve ever seen an all-time great have
38 points on mind boggling efficiency as a 38 year old has already caught people’s attention
But I think what’s crazier is seeing “99 FT%”
Don’t think I’ve ever seen that in my life😭
Steph Curry per 75 possessions this season:
38 PTS // 6 REB // 5 AST
56 2P% // 45 3P% // 99 FT%
63 eFG% // 71 TS%
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Dame’s rim pressure went off to a slow start in the first few games (expected being a 36 year old PG coming off an achillies). But it’s progressively become better
He still has GOAT-tier ball-handling with strong craft, burst & shot-making versatility to pose 2P pressure (57.5%)
Blazers starting Scoot over Jrue makes no sense. Not only is Jrue is a much better offensive fit as his playmaking, shooting & role flexibility amplifies the offense, but you also get a much needed defensive boost at the guard position
Why are you not starting w your top lineup?

Arguably the greatest leader in the history of the sport
Blazers guard Damian Lillard on handing the reins of the team to Deni Avdija:
"Coming in, I told him: 'I want you to be the horse.' Ja said the same thing: 'You be the horse.' I think him knowing for sure that we are encouraging that, you be the horse, you be on go, you get downhill, you attack. I think that is good for our team."

Idk what the roster would be, but Norm to TOR is fire
Not only is he a historic C&S + wide open 3P shooter (TOR needs that) but he’s also a tier 1 off-catch attacker that can easily lead the NBA in PTS/touch & is AMAZING in transition. Both things fit very well in Darko’s scheme
Jamal Murray will never get credit for being one NBA history’s best shot makers. In isolation, in PnR, off-ball, in the mid-range, from three, with limited room & release angles… the guy’s got it all notched up to top tier levels
Statistically the NBA’s best shooter last season
Brandon Ingram gets hate for analytic/archetype reasons, but he meant a lot to the Raptors. Hes a reliable bailout & release valve in stagnant situations
+ his ability to tag tough scoring loads helped scale his teammates to more offensively efficient roles with more effort on D

Brook Lopez is a heavy 7 footer in year 18, and after so many injuries, is still a solid big. He has his flaws that makes him lack schematic versatility or even playability vs certain playoff matchups (ie 2025 Pacers). But he still has value on both ends when playing in structure
Brook deserves lots of credit for the career he’s had
Being 7ft tall & having great longevity even through all his injuries (including multiple back surgeries), is very impressive
Refined his offense to be a key piece on a title team & has been a steady interior defensive force
