I feel Lebron/Dwight would be more dominant.

Kawhi/KG, Dwight just isn't on the same level as the other 3.

Dwight was arguably the best player in the league in 2011.

I'd argue that it's Kawhi that isn't on the same level as the other 3

I don't see a good case over Lebron or Dirk, and even probably Wade. Also Rose won MVP over him that year while leading his team to the best record in the east. Dwight has never had a case for best player in the league.

I disagree, Kawhi is better now than Dwight has ever been imo.

Kawhi was pretty clearly better than Dwight, in my opinion, by an even wider margin than their number so woukd suggest as well.
Howard led the Magic to a 52-30 record, good for 4th in the east in 2011, also a full 10 wins behind Derrick Rose's Chicago Bulls team that took first seed in the east. Also, I never liked his brand of offense; more often than not he was clunky in the post, turnover prone, and you had to overly force feed him the ball in order to get that kind of production out of him offensively(23PPG), and in the postseason it was that style of play that ultimately cost the Magic.
The Hawks basically dared Dwight to beat them, and let Dwight get his, and they were wholly unsuccessful because of that. Again, he was extremely turnover prone, prone to offensive fouls, and never looked smooth in the post --in a series that wasn't all that fast-paced either.
Anywho, I think Kawhi/KG is the better option.

Too close to call.

Kawhi and Garnett. In 2004 Garnett was a monster and was better then Howard obviously and equal with Lebron. Also 2017 Leonard is better then 2011 Dwight because of the offensive versatility. Leonard was closer to Jordan this year then Kobe ever was. Leonard is better then Magic and Bird (much better defense then both and scoring is about equal with Bird), Dwight doesn't compare to that.

I went with KG/Kawhi, but it really depends on your other players. LBJ/Dwight were both very dominant, but it seems like they may lack 3 point shooting on this team and could be very paint-dependent.
KG/Kawhi both have range and elite defense, making it easier to bring in other players skill sets.

Dwight is a weak link here, so I go with Kawhi/Garnett

There really isn't much separation between Dwight and Kawhi.
It's more like LeBron is a couple levels up from anyone, Garnett in the middle, and Dwight and Kawhi a little behind him.
