    Kawhi Leonard got his first career triple double tonight

    WOW

    He has 2 NBA finals MVPs though.

    Testament to the type of player he is, in my opinion. You know damn well that he could go out and get one every night if he wanted to focus on shit like that. Even knowing he never had one before, he obviously wasnt concerned with it. Not his style

    Sure, but Lebron plays that style. He's interested in stat filling. Kawhi isnt chasing two assists at the end of a game to fill a stat sheet. It's not a knock on either; just different styles of competing.

    Russ gets them in sleep also. Thats a third style.....Kawhi wins, Russ dazzles, and Lebron does both.

    What Kawhi did last year with Toronto was amazing.

    Tops any of Lebron’s three titles from an individual Lebron vs Kwahi standpoint in my opinion.

    Yup he doesn't like to pass the ball much during his career.. I guess he got a wild hair tonight and dished it off more then normal..

    Kawhi is definitely stat chasing, that's why he left the Spurs. He wanted to take 20 shots a game. Look at Kawhi's shots per game the last 5-7 games. You think Pop would ever allow that?

    Good for him for leaving.

    Kawhi can't get a triple double every night. He can't even get 20 in a season. Kawhi is not a playmaker for teammates. Him getting 10 assists is a miracle. He has no where near the vision of an NBA pg or a player like Lebron James.

    Good timing. He buried Miami last night late in the game to cover the -2.

    both in one game? no

    Hakeim the dream is the only guy to ever have 7 of both in one game.

    I bet Wilt or Russell would have had close to it, but they didn't keep track of stats as well back then
