2016-17 Kawhi was moving different (h/t shotcreator)

Coming off back-to-back DPOYs and frying like this on the other end is crazy

@shotcreatordata he could’ve been one of the best ever before injuries smh

@shotcreatordata I will always remember peak Kwahi going nuclear on the Warriors before Zaza slides his foot into his landing zone

@shotcreatordata What’s forgotten about is the Spurs won 61 games AND that’s after they took their foot off the pedal as they battle the Warrors for #1 seed (67 wins) the Spurs lost 4 of the last 5 right before the playoffs. The way we see Ant at Young Jordan, Kawhi was Jordan-Esqe at one point

@shotcreatordata First team all NBA and first team all defense, Spurs won 61 games Real MVP

@shotcreatordata Every star was moving differently in 2017💀

@shotcreatordata Kawhi was the best player in the league this season and no one will ever convince me otherwise if it weren’t for KD joining the warriors spurs win this chip easily

@shotcreatordata That last great era of basketball. Teams weren’t copying each other. They had REAL systems. No switching mandate that allows for poor defenders to be on superstars for highlights. Bigs were still around. And the best players guarded each other
