Only a dumbphuck would see this as a shot from green to kawhi. But of course its the usual 4-5 dumbphucks that see it as just that. smh
Wow, another Kawhi vs. Parker thread.
Original stuff, fellas. Keep the hits coming.

The irony.
Introverts aren't necessarily shy; they act a certain way depending on the setting. I'm an introvert myself & there are certain folks I don't care to interact with (who end up thinking I'm shy) but I've no issues socializing with someone that I find to be interesting. People label introverts as shy b/c they don't care much for going out & socializing w/ random folks at a clubs/bars but it's really b/c they don't care much for small talk/random conversations & not b/c they are scared of people. We introvert like to focus our energy on things that TRULY matter to us & small talk/random conversation isn't one of them besides just b/c we don't laugh at your corny jokes it doesn't mean we don't have a sense of humor.....it just means that we find you to be corny.
Tim/Kawhi avoid the media b/c they hates wasting energy interacting w/ people they doesn't find to be interesting & partaking in small talk/random conversation not b/c they are scared of the media. Kawhi is young & still learning how to handle the media but at this point of their careers, they are probably more comfortable w/ public speaking than numerous so call extroverts b/c they have done it numerous times. People forget Pippen (the guys Kawhi get compared to) was a country boy when he came into the league & was never a media darling. Derrick Rose on the other hand is shy since he tends to talk on the court w/ other players & is friendly w/ the local media but doesn't seem comfortable in front of strangers/national media.
I would only be worried about a person if they have low self-esteem (not the same as shy) & last I checked Tim/Kawhi are two pretty confident fellas.

There's no such as APG per 36m. It's APG or AP 36m.2014-2015 season:
Tony Parker FG% - 48.6%
Kawhi Leonard FG% - 47.9%
Tony Parker AST% - 28.7%
Kawhi Leonard AST% - 13.0% (career-high)
Tony Parker APG Per 36 - 6.2
Kawhi Leonard APG Per 36 - 2.9 (career-high)
Parker's worst season still outplaying a 20M/yr player in his prime
He graduated laude from special ed so give him a break.
I realize most NBA players just become empowered to display their immaturity on a world stage, however some actually do mature as they age.
Kinda funny to see the (Kawhi only) fans freak out and get so defensiveReporter: Talking to one of your staffers yesterday, this person said that they noticed just how much more easier it is to score when he's [LMA] on the bucket. You know, obviously you guys like to move the ball, move players, but you have to execute hard to manufacture buckets at times and with him, it's just you just give it to him and he can score. Have you noticed that facet? Just how much easier it can be?
Danny: Definitely, definitely. We didn't have one of those guys where you just throw the ball to and say "Go get us a bucket", um, we have that now with him [LMA], and David West can do the same. So, um, that helps when were not shooting well and there's a drought, but it makes it easier to score because you cant double team anybody with there being a lot of threats on the floor....
Yet some player fan neck beards on here are questioning Aldridge taking too many shots. Like DG said, we didn't have a go to scorer last year. No matter how much you hype up Kawhi, no one on the team believes he's a go-to scorer.. Thus showing just how hard Pop tried to recruit LMAlpha, a true first option.
It's not really maturity thing. I'm sure losing his father at like 16 matured him quite a bit. It's the fact that in the NBA you're in the spotlight more often, and more inclined to be in social situations. Which I would assume would encourage someone to become more social rather than less tbh if that makes sense
Yup. Going at legends, future HOF's, and now Green.... Smfh these little s need to get shipped to Syria
it's just so much nonsense here, so yea lol. The posting quality has dropped, the agenda's are getting old. Very little basketball discussion these days here
Three point-shooters like Danny or Beli are more important on offense than a versatile offensive player like Kawhi, a top 10-15 NBA player, the #5/#6 offensive option is more important than the #1/#2 option...this makes you seem a little crazy but it's fine, Spurstalk is full of crazy people lately.
For the record, Kawhi always raised his three-point shooting in playoffs, sadly we can't say the same about other players.
2011-12 37.6 3P% in the regular season 45% in playoffs
2012-13 37.4 3P% in the regular season 39% in playoffs
2013-14 37.9 3P% in the regular season 41.9% in playoffs
2014-15 34.9 3P% in the regular season 42.3 % in playoffs
Or he meant just what he said.
Sometimes you don't have to interpret, just listen, instead of thinking "what he meant when he said this line..."
Kawhi is coming along just fine and will be the leader he needs to be, when he needs to be it and that luckily we're here, it will be Kawhi's team in due time if it already isn't.
Nobody forced Tim to say these things.
He could say "well... it's about Kawhi and LaMarcus now" "it's their team" or something like this, and both players would have been fine with it, but he still said Kawhi's team.
I'm not afraid of Spurs leadership transition, Duncan is and will be the leader of the team until he retires, he thinks Kawhi'll be ready to be that guy then, and Tim knows better than anyone how is when a young player needs to step up because the former team-leader left the team.
I am not afraid either. Afraid is kind of a strong word. You just know the vets are the leaders here, Tim says its going to be Kawhi's team if it already isn't, because its Tim and he's not going to be there proclaiming that Kawhi is not ready and its not his team. He says what you expect, but his body language shows he's not comfortable with that assessment, and he looks away from the eyes of the person asking. Make of it as you will.
Kawhi's primary focus has always been defense. He wasn't a scorer in college. He wasn't a scorer when he came to the Spurs. He's worked hard to develop an offensive game and is a great compliment as a 2nd option on the offensive end. I believe the Spurs asked too much of him in last year's playoffs from an offensive standpoint, but what were their other options? Green was off, Manu was slowed, Parker was hobbled, and Tim was almost 40 years old.
Green wasn't taking a 'shot' at Leonard. He was acknowledging LMA's greatness on the offensive end.
The DPOY, at his age, probably earns him a max deal no matter what he's doing on offense. Dennis Rodman would be a max player in today's NBA and he couldn't make a layup.
Right on the money!!!
Same old boring ST shtick, setting players in opposition to each other.
Bunch of Middle school girls.
" CN, Goboom, and apoplectic say Tony is fat so they call him Porker"
"Oh yeah, Well the Great Floating Turd says KL is re ed"
Bunch of putrid little insects...
Kawhi is the modern day Big Game James Worthy & as unappreciated as Scottie Pippen.
Lmao when did Leonard become reliable as a second option? Even by icy hot standards is take green I offense over Kawhi. Yes green is probably at his peak while Leonard will likely become a better player. But it's sad when Kawhi player fans resort to fantasy to make their points. Just enjoy Leonard for who he is and stop trying to white knight a multi millions salaried player.
Fwiw this and always was a dumb troll thread. There's literally no substance to the op point. Yet moths to the flame........
Get out of here with that. He lost a finals with a FT. Lost to the Clips because he couldn't score. He's the modern day bruce bowen. The end
Yes you would take Danny's zero point till Gm 7 while taking open shots b/c you are an idiot.
LOL check Leonard's brick FT that cost a ring. = why he's not a #1 or #2.
good for him he got LMA. it will allow him to be a terrific 4th option... unstoppable
Shut the up & go back to mowing the lawn.
