Coach Nick embarrassing himself..
Nice find ^^
I mean to be fair, he was one of the most hyped players of his high school class and he had some pretty nice moments in the playoffs of his rookie year (and those tweets are from May, so I'm assuming that's what sparked them). Obviously it looks bad now, but I don't think it's embarrassing for someone to have predicted he'd be an all-star in a few years back in 2013.
Coach Nick embarrassing himself
edit: errr, just saw your next post...nevermind, that is pretty embarrassing
Uhh..no
Costing himself money this offseason
Only KL fans would mock a player in the finals when your boy got bounced rd 2. sad
Only a dumb would continually mock one of the best players on their own team while licking jimmer ass who can barely stay in the league. Sad
UMAD? Doesn't matter if the best is not good enough, tbh. And Spurs needed exactly what I said they would need - a scorer/slasher. The spurs lost, exactly why I said they would lose - scoring drought.
I have not looked at one box score this series. HB didn't seem like anything special at all. But he's basically the fifth option, so it's open threes all the time for him 'til he knocks two or three down; even then.
Could've used Jimmer's shooting, tbh. Even if they just used him as a spark plug.
Duplicate post.
Twitter roasting Barnes.

At least he represented his country, unlike roleplayerwhi
Guarantee you Kawhi spent more time in the gym throughout the Olympics than any one player on Team USA.
Why go play meaningless basketball in an event with a foregone conclusion when you can work all summer to get better?
the irony
Are you sure? I thought he was attending to personal matters. He sure as couldn't be bothered when the Spurs were courting Durant.
About the meaningless basketball quote... I think it's an honor and privilege to play for your country in the Olympics. It's not something that should be taken for granted and players from other countries know and understand this. It's not about who's going to win, it's about representing the Stars and Stripes. It's one of the reasons why I don't get on TP and Ginobili for representing their respective countries in the Olympics even though they should be taking the Summers off to rest and recover from the previous season. Leonard is only 25 and if he was going to partake in the Olympic games, this would have been the perfect year to do it.
Would it be fair to have Kawhi on Enrique?
The guy has played into June in three of his seasons and early-mid May in the other two. Give him a break. Guys like Boogie, Melo, etc. have had a little more free time. Curry, Lebron and Westbrook all took time off. Durant needed to save face, George needed redemption.
It's an honor to represent America in an individual sport, not in a sport where your team is so stacked that it would be an embarrassment to lose. Or to overcome tremendous odds and beat America (which is why the foreign guys always play).
And on the personal matter, maybe he's playing it safe with girlfriend pregnant? Maybe as simple as that.
But to doubt he's been hitting up the gym knowing his work ethic is silly. The guys at the olympics spent half their time in Rio accidentally going to brothels (or just once) and cheering on beach volleyball and swimming.
the irony
To be fair, Kawhi hasn't played past May 12th since 2014. Yet, Klay, Draymond and Kyrie have played into June the last two seasons. Kawhi is roughly the same age as the before mentioned so if he was going to partake in the Olympics, this would have been the perfect year to do so because he's young and is body can handle the excessive workload.
If you asked 99% of foreign basketball players, they'd tell you straight faced, the field is playing for silver and bronze because team USA is winning gold. I don't know any athlete who joins his country's Olympic team for the sole purpose of beating team USA. I have no idea what you're implying with the bolded.
This is very true if you're referring to him skipping out on Rio because of his pregnant girlfriend, but that's no excuse for him to miss out on the Durant meeting because his girlfriend's due to have a baby sometime in July.
Kawhi is a ing Alpha. He smells that BETA all over Kevin "always second" Durant.
BETA virus is worse than Zika tbh...
Who does Leonard think he is? The nerve of this guy wanting to be around for the birth of his first child. Real men would go play for gold and think of their kid second. Wish the Spurs would find real character guys. Ones that have their priorities straight.
