Re: 2020 NBA Season

Many people here consider Lakers and Clippers to be the championship favorites. A few pages earlier there was also a discussion about the rivalry of Lebron and Kawhi. See what Danny Green, guy who played with them both, says about both leaders.

What type of leader would you prefer in a team? Louder like LBJ or more uncommunicative like KL? Personally, I think I would choose Lebron, although his huge charisma can be a great advantage, but sometimes it can also have a bad effect on the team. Anyway, I hope to see these players compete in the conference finals.

LeBron's leadership has been proven, though what makes him put in the bad light, is that he's always surrounded with superstars. He might not be recruiting them, but some of them would love to play along with him.
Leonard on the other hand, isn't that good as a leader of the squad. He's just an excellent both offensive and defensive player, he's the best asset a team could ever had. But, If we're talking about leadership, I would also choose LeBron over Leonard.

I don't need to watch the 2 minutes video but I presume that Green will say that Lebron is the better player than Leonard since he is currently playing with Lebron now in the LA Lakers. If my personal view will count to you guys, lol... I would choose Kawhi Leonard over Lebron James as he is more clutch and can be trusted to give a win to his team, many times I've seen him take the last shot or bring the ball to score for his team in crucial times, so I would choose him over Lebron who would just pass the ball. Sorry, no offense to the Lebron fans but this is just my bias opinion.

I'm with you, Lebron is good but in terms of Leadership I like "THE CLAW" Kawhi Leonard as he is willing to take the last shot, the last season, in the playoffs and NBA finals, there's a lot of highlights we can see how Leonard carry his team, including a thrilling win over the sixers as after that win, they never struggle anymore winning the NBA Finals.

I agree that Kawhi can be a team leader on the field. He showed it many times in matches of the regular season, as well as in the finals - in San Antonio beating LBJ or later in Raptors. However, Kawhi lacks the expression and charisma that a leader should have. The leader should be able to raise the team's morale not only by playing well, but sometimes also by some kind of behavior, I don't know, big dunk or a some gesture towards the fans. A bit of the character of a showman who can inspire the whole arena. Kawhi doesn't have it or shows it extremely rarely.

I don't agree with that do you see how big is the impact when he is on the floor? he always change the phase and his teammate will became more confident when he is on the court and look what happen in raptors he brought up the team to the finals and they win their chip. Maybe you mean he's so silent and that what makes him unique he became more famous for his attitude since people will find it mystery especially when he smiles.
