Who's the best out of these three? I feel like this would have been regarded as a fringe opinion prior to this series, but I think Kawhi is the better player than Giannis. Better defender, better shooter, more skilled.

Paul George had an MVP type regular season this year but I'd say he's still not really on the same level as the other two.

Best player: Kawhi

Best talent: Giannis

Best fit: Paul George (shoots like 10 3s a game, his iso’s take less time and pulls up from 3 keeping spacing more)

PG was straight up better than Kawhi for 2/3rds of this regular season, on both sides of the ball. Even Kawhi admitted he coasted on defense. Got the 2nd team all-D on reputation, like Klay

Kawhi makes Pop look bad. Retrospectively speaking I believe SA would handle Kawhi's injury differently. I don't understand why they thought he was exaggerating the seriousness of his injury. Then again, maybe the rumors of him not liking the city had something to do with his leaving.

Kawhi, but Giannis has a higher ceiling so he might have the best prime when all is said and done.

Love Giannis, probably close to being my favorite NBA player just b/c of his story and amazing play.

But I take KL. More complete package.

It's clear Giannis has to go back to the lab and work on his shooting this summer. KL already has that and elite defense.

But Giannis is going to be a major problem for teams the next decade.

Giannis repeatedly showing why I like AD over him year after year is remarkable. It takes an elite defense, but when he comes across one and they execute well...

But PG wore down just in time when OKC needed him the most.

KL took it easy and ramped it up for the playoffs.
