The last 2 NBA champions

That was the dream, for sure. Unfortunately, the reality is that he's nowhere remotely close to the level of mobility or quickness needed for that to work on defense. He really doesn't have a "good position" on defense. It's a pickle.

I think this is based more on the limited sample of this recent season coming back from injury as opposed to his entire career before that.  I think this mindset assumes that a basic meniscus tear was the last straw in permanently ruining his mobility, versus him never really getting his legs under him after returning from the injury mid season.  I'm not sure that is a good assumption to make.  I don't know what he is going to be like next season, but I feel like there is at least a reasonable chance he is closer to bubble KP than what we saw this season.
