Kawhi Leonard has been largely irrelevant since 2019. Since then:
Zero MVPs
Zero Finals MVPs
Zero Finals appearances
Zero Western Conference appearances
He is a good player, no doubt, but not even in the same conversation as Steph, Giannis, Jokic, etc. in the last 5-6 years.

@ In his first 10 NBA seasons, Nikola Jokic has never had a teammate who was selected to the All-Star, All-NBA, or All-Defense teams. This is a unique distinction, as he is the only MVP in the last 41 years to have this lack of teammate starpower. Unlike Leonard, who had elite talent around him (for example his first playoff run: Tony Parker, Tim Duncan, Manu Ginóbili, Popovich, etc.).

The kawhii clippers era window of winning a title is officially closed…….
Kawhii is older, paul george is gone, james harden is washed up, and this is the weakest clippers roster compared to previous clippers roster….
Kawhii waited until the clippers roster became diminished to finally be healthy for a playoff run……
Clippers are cursed
