Top 10 Best Players in the 2019 NBA Finals
The 2019 NBA Finals marked an exciting matchup. Two teams, 33 players, one champion. The Toronto Raptors, in their first-ever finals appearance, faced the two-time defending champions, the Golden State Warriors.This list highlights the best players from that historic series.
Kawhi Anthony Leonard is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Clippers of the National Basketball Association. He has played for the San Antonio Spurs, Toronto Raptors, and the Clippers. I am convinced Kawhi is the best player on the court. He is an all-time great. He does whatever it takes to win and he is known for showing up against the Warriors. He has a vendetta against the Warriors and he will try to bring it out.
Wardell Stephen Curry II is an American professional basketball player for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He is widely considered to be one of the greatest shooters in NBA history, if not the greatest. He is one of the most beloved stars in the NBA today, as... read more Curry had a great series against the Blazers and he will look to do it again against the Raptors. The greatest shooter in the game. If Curry does not show up though, the Warriors will have a problem. Plus, if Durant doesn't play, he might end up having to play against Kawhi Leonard.
Stephen Curry is the best player worldwide in history, in my opinion. Even the NBA says he is better than Michael Jordan, and Jordan is like a hacker in basketball.
Kevin Wayne Durant is an American professional basketball player for the Brooklyn Nets of the National Basketball Association. He has played for the Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors, and the Nets.
He was MVP of the 2017 and 2018 NBA Finals. Durant would be number one, but there are questions on whether he will play the beginning of the series, which could have a big effect on the outcome. If he does play, I can almost guarantee he will be guarded by Kawhi Leonard, which could pose a big problem.
Draymond Jamal Green Sr. is an American professional basketball player for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association. Draymond was terrific against the Blazers. It will be interesting to see if he can do that against this staunch Raptor defense. On defense, he will probably have to guard Pascal Siakam or Kawhi Leonard.
Klay Alexander Thompson is an American professional basketball player for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association. The 2nd Splash Bro. He will be a tough matchup as we assume he will be facing Kawhi Leonard (Iggy is back). On the offensive end, he will probably be guarded by Green or Lowry, which should be very interesting.
Kyle Lowry is an American professional basketball player for the Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association. Lowry had a great series against Milwaukee and he will be looking to do even better against the Warriors. Lowry will probably end up guarding one of the Splash Bros if Durant plays.
The matchup of Siakam versus Draymond will be a difference maker. They both play similar games and they motivate their teams.
Marc Gasol Sáez is a Spanish professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association. A big shot taker for the Raptors. If he can cause some problems with the Warriors defense, that would be amazing. Plus, if by some crazy miracle the Warriors get DeMarcus Cousins back, I feel confident Marc Gasol can cause him problems on both sides of the court.
Serge Jonas Ibaka Ngobila is a Congolese-Spanish professional basketball player for the Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association. A difference maker on both sides of the ball. If he can just have a big performance in a few of these games, I feel like that could swing the series to the Raptors.
DeMarcus Amir Cousins is an American professional basketball player for the Sacramento Kings of the National Basketball Association. There is no guarantee Cousins will play, but if he does, he will have a huge impact.
Andre Tyler Iguodala is an American professional basketball player for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association. Iguodala will have a huge responsibility if he plays. He will have the honors to guard Kawhi Leonard.
Daniel Richard Green Jr. is an American professional basketball player for the Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association. He has had a tough playoff run this year, but I feel like he will step up this series. He will be guarding one of the Splash Bros and he might be getting a lot of open looks on the other side.
Fred VanVleet had a great end to the Bucks series. Look for VanVleet to expose the Warriors bench.
