Why isn't Kawhi considered the 3rd best of the 2010s after Lebron and Steph?

Player Discussion

I'm a newer watcher of the NBA than the majority of y'all, I didn't watch those playoffs go down.

As far as I know, when people talk about who were the best of the 2010s, it's bron then curry then KD then harden then russ (not sure about this one)

But like, neither Harden or Russ got a ring as the 1st option. And KD has an asterisk on his FMVPs depending on who you ask, I guess.

Meanwhile Kawhi did it twice, with two FMVPs.

Like I said, I'm casual and I don't know much. But I'd think a ring and a fmvp would count more than an MVP in most cases, unless the guy has several MVPs and shit luck with teams.

Genuinely asking because I couldn't work this one out by my own. I don't think I have seen one post or comment saying Kawhi was the 3rd greatest of the 2010s.
