Bro i can watch his defensive highlights all day

The craziest part is half of these stops are in clutch time and it leads to Leonard scoring also in the clutch!

Kawhi is tooooo legit!! Hes the only one I see steal and block KD, Lebron, steph, and he does it to everyone else hes guarding too

Fundamentally one of the best defenders in the modern era. An NBA Finals MVP for one of the greatest dynasties in the game. Brought a championship to a franchise that neither Carter nor DeRozan could accomplish. He’s riddled with injuries since then, but he’s definitely still got some left in the tank for a few more good years.

Probably the best point of attack wing defender ever at his peak

“Klaw” insinuates that he does…

Did y'all know that Kawhi has the best stats in playoffs of any player ever? It's like he goes crazy in the playoffs every single time. He literally without injuries could be one of the best players in history, i believe he is in the talks even with the injuries tho. He is at least the most consistent player ever in playoffs on paper, can't even be argued 📜

The most humble dunker of all time

I think he won't ever recover again. I'm just glad he has 2 rings because my other favorite Derrick Rose never got one, atleast when Kawhi retires we'll always remember how he helped the Raptors and Spurs big time on those rings.

NOBODYS favorite player is Tobias Harris 😭

Just to think he has great offensive plays as well when he was healthy top 5 in the league without question 🖐🏽

Not only one of the best all time but the funniest player of all time too 🤣

So many of these highlights are in crunch time, crazy

Toronto used every bit of this man's health for a chip lmao Fucking beast tho, shame he has degenerative knees but that 2019 run was epic, that maybe the last time we'll see Kawhi play that healthy

The fact he doesn’t have more rings than he does is a curious thing, and can only be blamed on how injury-prone he seems to be, and leaving Toronto may not have been the best idea, either. If he’d have stayed there and remained more healthy, he may have 5 or so championships and be considered in the top-3 current players and maybe even top 5 or 10 all-time. A true shame

He’s a fun guy.

Even with the unfortunate injuries he IS one of the best ever

Watch that Orlando magic series in 2019, I think that was peak Kawhi overall . Man was two way unstoppable

I’m just saying, Kawhi without all the injuries would probably be viewed above KD and maybe even Steph. At least on the same level. The guy can just put a team on his back, he’s automatic from midrange, athletic freak, good handle, and an amazing defender

imagine telling someone “my favorite nba player is tobias harris” with a straight face

GOAT🎉

so good

This would make a perfect fit for the Warriors because Everybody's Talkin about how is over for the Warriors and they're talkin about how it's over for Kauai this could be retribution for both The Warriors and for Kauai and approve every talker wrong with talk bad about them both
