No. 3 reason the Clippers will be in the NBA Finals next year: Kawhi/PG are the best duo in basketball
The LA Clippers are the only team that had multiple All-NBA team selections. Kawhi was named to the first team, and PG to the third.
George is one of just three players in this league to score 23+ points per game, grab 6+ rebounds per game, and shoot 40% or more from three. Kawhi Leonard, on the other hand, almost hit the 50/40/90 shooting mark.
To have a duo that great should be criminal. Nobody has one that can come close.
The two of them combine for 12 All-Star game selections, 11 All-NBA selections, two NBA steal championships, and 11 All-Defensive Team selections.
That’s absurd, and these guys are both younger than 32.
And by the way, Kawhi’s not going anywhere. The Clippers are a great spot for Kawhi, and while he may want a raise, they’ll be able to bring him back next year.
There are going to be a lot of great Western Conference teams next year, as there are every year. The Clippers will come out on top, however, and take one more step than what they were able to accomplish this year.
