He’s definately underrated offensively, he’s fully been incredible offensively 3/4 of his last playoff runs when he played he just got hurt in two of them
If Kawhi never got hurt you could probably make a pretty strong argument he’s on the bron Curry tier 2015-2022 (if he wins in 2021)
healthy kawhi would be a ways above curry and maybe on lebron's level (though i'm not sure anyone is on lebron's level). if he stays healthy, you could easily argue his dominant 2019 title run is only his 3rd best playoffs of his last 4 appearances, and it's not even like he sucked in 2020 until the horrible game 7. and obviously, if healthy, he would have had a 2018 playoff run.
