00:00so let's start with kawaii leonard i do see the comps there because of the size because of the

00:23ability because of the defensive potential obviously he has a long way to go to prove

00:28that he can be kawaii but kawaii leonard three-time nba all first team two-time champ two-time finals

00:36mvp if cooper flag is kawaii leonard we all feel good about that right one million percent especially

00:44if uh if we can qualify it as a healthy kawaii leonard because if he meets the kawaii leonard

00:49ability and stays healthy yeah all the the resume stuff that you just gave for kawaii looks quite

00:54a bit different it really does and it's interesting because and i know he has been hurt

01:01but if you look at that 10-year stretch 2015 or i guess 2014 let's even say to 2024 so we're adding

01:09on an extra year or if you want to even shorten up all right you know what i'm contradicting my own

01:15logic right here let's go 2014 to 2021 in that span won the nba title twice was finals mvp
