Another way to rephrase this question is “who is the best player in the NBA?”. We believe LeBron is still a better offensive player than Kawhi, but Kawhi has such an edge on defense that we had to give him the number 1 spot.
Really though, did the NBA GMs completely forget Kevin Durant exist? Giannis is a power forward first off, and Kevin Durant is in the argument for the best player in the league. I’m not sure how they f***** that one up.
