Kawhi being a Clipper with a tremendous sidekick in Paul George could mean, maybe, a couple titles for Kawhi over the course of his new contract. If Kawhi ends his career with less gawdy stats than LeBron or Durant but goes like 4-1 or 5-1 in NBA Finals, while bringing home 3 or 4 or 5 Finals MVPs in three different franchises, does that elevate him as this generation's best player over Lebron and Durant? Is a 4-1 or 5-1 in the Finals Kawhi better than a 3-6 in the Finals LeBron?
Or would it come down to being that LeBron was the generation's best player but Kawhi was the biggest winner of the generation? If Kawhi goes on a 3 or 4year run of titles here, including his Toronto win, could that run propel him to greater heights on the greatest player of the generation ladder, even above players like Steph, LeBron and Durant?
EDIT: Kawhi lost a Finals in his sophomore year so the above numbers were corrected to reflect that as I mistakenly had him undefeated in the Finals.
