Leonard is a great player but he wouldn't have won let alone be there

unless he had the other 3 super-stars on his team.

If he doesn't have those 3 guys no way he even gets to the finals. James proved you need more than just 1 superstar. He made it to the finals with Cleveland before but lost, why no supporting people.

Jordan won 6 why? great supporting cast, especially Pippen who was the other star with him.

in this day and age you need more than 1 superstar to win a title.

Kawhi is a superstar. Just not in the conventional sense.

I agree he is a player like Pippen, but what happened to him when Jordan did

I think we define superstar differently.

I have the same definition. Top 10 NBA player

I should add that with his injury issues this year he hasn't been as good.

I'm big on Defense too, but I value 2 way players the most.

As good as he is, your opinion is much too optimistic.

I don't mean next year. And maybe you mean never. I think he could lead the Jazz

Well, yeah, it's certainly possible if a number of things go in the Jazz favor,

The spurs last year IMO didn't have anyone near the level of KD or LBJ

thebruce

He is a part of what can do that, but the Jazz need way more than just him.

Would add this: If you allow fewer than 100 points/100 possessions, you are

yes until his contract is up and he goes to a big market team for more money.
