Kawhi is one of my favorite players in the league. Watching him in the playoffs is always a thing of joy when hes healthy.

Kawhi's response after reporter broke the news to him about KD traded to the Suns: "Oh." 😂

Once upon a time I got nice lower bowl tickets to see kawhi (away game for him). It was about the fourth game of the season. Kawhi sat due to load management. I will forever hold the grudge lol

Westbrook after game 5 elimination in first round playoffs: “Win, lose, or draw, you gotta have fun.” Kawhi: 😐

Kawhi Leonard, every superstar's Kryptonite.

Kawhi was single handedly destroying the KD Warriors before that Zaza injury. 1 superstar versus 3 and Kawhi was up 21 on them.

I recall in one playoff game against the mavs, kawhi going berserk and not missing shots. Just crazy

That "oh" killed me 🤣🤣🤣

Kawhi does play like machine lol. his moves are not flashy at all but every if is clincial so mechanical and so efficient.

What I’m more terrified of is kawhi’s laugh 💀💀

As a raptors fan, Kawhi is one of my favourite players. Hope he can get a championship in LA. But obviously, as you mentioned, he had a way better team around him when he was on the raps.

As a Canadian I will forever root for Kawhi as he brought us a championship.

You are right. A fit Leonard is the closest thing to Jordan we've seen. Makes the game look easy.

There are those built for 82 game seasons, and there are those built for 16 game seasons. Kawhi will obviously rest and not give his all during the regular season, but come playoff time, you know the terminator will show up and work on both ends.

the most important point you failed to articulate -- Leonard is one of the ultimate CLOSERS in the NBA. Raptors did not have that, so their load management was used with that in mind. and it paid off for their title!

5:50 you'll see SC:AM

This is one of my favourite videos from you. Keep up the good work!

The difference between the 2019 Raps and the current Clippers is that the Raps DID NOT NEED Kawhi to make the playoffs. They were already a consistent 50+ win team. They brought in Kawhi to give them the juice for a deep playoff run... and that's exactly what he gave them. I keep watching teams willing to mortgage their entire future for one or two superstars, surround them with scrubs or short-timers and expect them to CARRY the team for the entire season and then all the way through the playoffs to a title. It's not realistic. I think the Raps did it right. FIRST build a team that will get you there, THEN get the guy who will push you over the finish line. The NBA is a superstar's league, but basketball is still a team game.... and over a long season and a long post-season, 5 very good players will always beat 1 great player.

seeing this after his game vs kings

B.S. They actually won a crazy amount of games when he sat out. That team was stacked!

JJ redick just said that no NBA players fear each other, I’d trust an ex-NBA player than a youtuber

Kawhi's my favourite player. He let's his game do the talking.

Kawhi is his own player. He and MJ might have similar skills, but Jordan was outgoing, charismatic, and a master of image, narrative, and legacy management. Kawhi is a master of load management, lol. Assuming they're equally competitive, Kawhi's also soft-spoken and introverted, and that's going to influence his dominance and image differently from MJ. He's his own player.

Kawhi is lethal. Top 3 favorite player in the league

Nice mix of stats/basketball and story/drama...good job!

3:09 Raptors fan here who’s VERY active on Twitter and message boards. We did not resent Kawhi for resting. The team was doing very well during the season and we knew he was signed for the playoffs which is where we needed help. But yes the players did reveal during the championship celebrations that there were tensions. But these tensions were never leaked during the season. Raps (at least up to 2020) let no leaks out

Running into Luka in the 1st round in 7 game series 2x in a row probably damaged their chances. They were gassed by the time they reached the 2nd round.

Jordan helped Kobe with his game and Kobe helped kawhi improve his game. Kobe and kawhi actually trained together and that’s when his offense really took off

Love the vids❤

Kawhi has a switch that he turns on at his own time.

Riley started load management with the Lakers. He got fined multiple times for sitting star players in the 80s. Of course it wasn't called "load management" back then. And no team would be allowed to officially sit players for "rest".

You have a great segue from one video to the next.

His shooting clips are damn near 50/48/92 since January that’s insane

Great vid man

Am hoops went jxmyhighroller mode for a bit

When he plays he is number 1 in the league

I can really tell who casey loves and who casey hates with these videos 😂

Thank you for saying 'comparable' correctly!!!

Kawhi doesn't poop. He just partakes in load management.

Fans didn’t have an issue with Kawhi resting in Toronto. I say this as Raptors fan, we knew the deal. It was all in for a chip. We won, we were happy. And we knew he was hurt.

Im going to call work right now. Tell them I'm taking Monday off, load management.

Kawhi is one of the most humbled superstars of all time!

Watched the game Clippers vs. Kings. Kawhi is incredible...

As a nuggets fan I ain't even remotely scared.

Kawhi my favorite player Play style just like mj🤩

As a raptors fan we were never tripping about him and his load management. Fcking van vleet and Siakam weren’t gonna do sh!t for us and derozan didn’t do anything for us except get us hurt lol. At least now we have a ring.

First! love the content man keep up the good work

First 5 mins love ur vids. Love from london

I was called crazy when I was saying that Kawhi plays almost identical like MJ... Only finishes at the rim differently....

The nuggets and suns are definitely not afraid of the clippers or kawhi. Let's not forget he only won a chip as a superstar because he faced an injured warriors team

Lookayu! That’s a big time sponsor!

Russ is actually perfect for what the Clippers need. Russ is a pace, penetration guy. He'll make everything easier for Kawhi and PG cause no one can really handle him one on one. As long as he keeps the deep ball to a minimum and plays serious defense, he'll be perfect for them.

Every true NBA fans know Kawhi is all about Playoffs but the Nuggets is a different beast this season.

Noti gang checking in!

I hope the Klaw Machine stays healthy and makes it deep into the playoffs. He's probably my ideal star player in terms of being a complete package being a great defender, and not being a one-trick pony in the offense. Plus, he got the killer instict in crunch time.

Told my boy this lol . This man never plays but no one ever says nun because of his playoff’s performance. It’s as if they heard my convo yesterday. He smart players need a play in his book

Kawhi’s response. . “Oh”

This is the reason why I think impact is more important than longevity . That's why Dwight should have been a top 75 players of all time

Cool video n all but that jacket is niceee 👍🏻 I need one ☝🏻😆

Kawhi so slept on

@am hoops your next video should be titled Why the NBA is Terrified of Jakob Poeltl, and how he changed everything for the Raptors

The clippers do this every year and every year people fall for it hes gonna flame out in the playoffs again that Toronto season was a blip not a trend for kawhi

Kawhi response was OH 😂😂lol

So no one is gonna talk about how Casey looks like a soccer Dad in that sweater😂

I went to that spurs game he went crazy

When he's healthy, he's putting up Jordan numbers

I loved Russ' performance against the Kings, but I do have one issue: sometimes on defense, he just completely stands still and forgets his man. There was a play where the Kings' players didn't even screen him off but the guy he's guarding got open out of nowhere. His teammates were confused how did the guy got open; even I got confused so I had to check the replay because they were playing perfect d up until Russ froze in place. I hope they fix this cuz this would be a problem in crucial moments.

I am worried about Russ's effect on Clippers :(

Mr. Video Maker. Do you think also that Jerry West got that panic too?

That windbreaker cold

Kawhi Plays like a machine. But you have to spend a lot of time updating him and the battery isn't optimized though. Too much reloading time but jeez he's a hell of a basketball machine.

"Oh." What a nice response by Kawhi 😂😂😂😂

I mean load management makes sense. For a good playoff run, healthy star player more experience for the bench player

Westbrook can play back to back with kawhi or PG so one of them can rest and we know westbrook can dominate the paint with his flash play and assist to players so thats why they sign westbrook.

Kawhi is like Goku always healing somewhere then coming out kicking ass

Kawhi the 🤚🏿🤚🏿✋🏿✋🏿✋🏿✋🏿✋🏿✋🏿

Nobody can logically feel this way because Kawhi will always get hurt. MJ played over 80 games 11x. Kawhi? He's played over 70 games twice and over 60 games 6x.

Nice jacket man

6:49 Rodman watching this: REALLY? I should just knock him out instead.

n now he just dropped 44 pts

Honestly I'd rather have SGA and 7 picks than Kawhi and PG lol. They can't stay healthy.

I understand that load management helps players come playoff time. But playoff seeding is really important to a team's chances to win the title. Don't load management so much in the regular season that you end up with bad playoff seeding.

okc gonna be crazy in a few years if those guys stay together

Kawhi retired after winning with the Raptors.

That's why I'm a Kawhi fan. He reminds me of a robot version of Jordan, which is sick

You are right the Raptors were a super team: Kawhy, Lowry, Siakam, Gasol, Van Vleet, Ibaka, D.Green really closer to GS than people tell.. and at his best Kawhy was Better than KD..

Anyone else noticed a certain youtuber in the background behind the claw?

FR he needs to be back to that 2020-2021 version of himself before the injury in the playoffs, cause we saw that monster in Toronto in 2019 100%%%%

I honestly don’t see the risk. PG had an MVP calibre season next to Russ.

kawhi is the same. He’s been playing amazing but when he’s doing good nobody talks about it smh weird people

When the Spurs did load management, we actually won games sitting players. As for Kawhi, he might have some bio mechanical issues related to his build. it happens in sports

Kawhi Leonard & Paul George need fully healthy in playoffs 🔥🔥🔥

As you said the Spurs are the OGs of resting their players, even the Spurs and the players being rested took issue with Kawhi not playing, tony Parker spoke out also not just vanvleet. I’m a Philly fan I’ve recognized that Kawhi has a similar resume’ to the best players other than playing time and totals. He’s definitely a postseason demon and I would rest him as much as he wants, I believe he’s been correct the entire time. I wanted to add that even the OGs of resting guys weren’t happy with the amount of rest Kawhi demanded at the beginning of his prime. I think maybe if Jordan had the same luxuries he would be in another stratosphere than he already is. Clutch shooting good defense and a midrange game doesn’t constitute a Jordan comparison even with 3-5 rings. The career totals aren’t there in every category and I’m sure Jordan would’ve won more with constant rest on teams that go on deep playoff runs regardless of his presence. Loved the video and hope it puts some respect on Kawhi’s name. Yeah I’d pick him over bron in a best of 7 finals series.

LOL> His response was.... , "Oh." Pulitzer for journalism there... 😝

You say Kawhi wasn't like by fans .. did you not hear of Kawine and dine? Kawhi literally ate for free at Toronto restaurants.. we loved him in Canada

Did the script for chime say that you check chime every morning?😭💀

Kawhi is great, i remember him as MJ when idol MJ was playing. Now he was next to idol Kobe as my idol now🎉🎉🎉

Man just went crazy dropping 44

like this guy said, "Kawhi is a machine"

can't wait to see him in the Playoffs
