You said Kawhi is better than SGA. What's the case there?

Discussed here too.

Not sure why I should rehash it here, when you can just go post in that thread which makes all the arguments already.


There's no mention of SGA there

So you have no case besides a clear bias for Kawhi

Gotcha

I'm explaining why peak Kawhi is better than Kobe. It's closer vs SGA obviously, but you'll find the argument about why he's better than Kobe will mostly translate vs SGA.

As per usual

That makes no sense

I disagree with you disagreeing before you respond

Shai comfortably for me. Kawhi is/was a monster when right, though.

And I guess Shai could still flame out, so when I say "comfortably," I'm projecting to a degree. But I'm comfortable doing that in this case.

Agree.

But disagree that 60 RS games equals "healthy the whole time."
