With Kawhi choking, every superstar has choked in the Playoffs, are they all frauds?

Kawhi - mega choke this year
Lebron - choked in 07 and 11
curry - choked in 2016
kd - choked in 2016
giannis - choked this year and last year
paul - choked in 2015
harden - choked in 2017

Kids under 25 like Jokic and Doncic don't count, they have not had enough opportunities to get exposed as fraudulent and choke in the Playoffs yet.

Lebron choked in 2011. He didn't choke in 2007 lol. The Cavs were mediocre and Lebron took them as far as he possibly could've.

Maybe this whole "winning an NBA championship" thing is harder than our fat asses on couches think it is.

Curry also choked in 2019 Finals. Had horrible stats in game 6 and shot air balls in the 4th quarter. Harden choked in game 7 of 2018 Finals, up by 20 at halftime against Warriors.

Lol. Jokic is younger than Giannis and every bit a superstar as well.

Kawhi's biggest choke is still probably Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals. That choke lost him a championship.

Kawhi has choked once in his career and you could tell that the mob couldn’t log into realgm fast enough to join the parade.

lets face it he didnt choke...his allstar teammate did, then the sixth man of the year choked the former 6th man shot 4-27 from 3 in this series the coaches rotations were terrible and then in game 7 Kawhi threw it not even taking mid range shots that are his bnb knowing he would never win a single game against the Lakers with the mess of a roster behind him and he could live with 1 bad game.
Oh and there is that little factor that LAC was never as good as Denver anyway who run 9 deep

How did Harden choke in the bubble. Check his stats they were almost as good as LeBron. Also remember he was playing against the best defense in the nba with the Lakers. Also the best individual defender in the league in the 1st round.

Im not going to hold this against Kawhi tbh. He's been very consistent and as a Raps fan, he's proven himself more often than not in the clutch. I have an easier time believing his injury is acting up (and he wont use that as an excuse.) or he just happened to have a bad game and didn't get the support he needed to get back into rhythm.

Coincidentally Kawhi was the only Clipper that won and was also not talking ****.

PG, PatBev, Montrell, Lou.

**** em. When the time came THEY choked and let down their superstar. Doc Rivers too.

Got his team up 1-0 and proceeded to play subpar in comparison to his season totals. His last game didn't even count as a good game because he was just stat padding while the Lakers blew out the Rockets. Choke certified.

When a team "chokes" in the playoffs, the situation can be complex with many different variables involved like roster construction, coaching, system, injuries, etc. Fans/Media are too stupid to process information so they just pick the best player and label them a choker. Same happens in reverse, when a team plays really well, best player often gets all the credit.

Humans are pretty irrational in general.

Choking is a term used by people who don't understand variance and the humanity of sports.

Devonte' Graham has never choked in the playoffs. Is Devonte' Graham the best player in the NBA?
