There is no question San Antonio Spurs All-Star forward Kawhi Leonard is cemented as a superstar in the NBA. There is no question San Antonio Spurs All-Star forward Kawhi Leonard is cemented as a superstar in the NBA. Now in his sixth season, he has won an NBA Championship, named Finals MVP and will be a starter for the West All-Stars in New Orleans .
There certainly are more accolades to come for Kawhi as he still has a lot of years left in the league. However, with plenty of accolades can come negativity from players.
During a recent ESPN Truehoop Podcast, the panel touched on Leonard while discussing their All-Star picks.
The show's hosts were going on about Kawhi and how he has improved his game year after year to now being San Antonio's main option on the offensive end.
However, the talk was interrupted by ESPN's Brian Windhorst stating there are a few players in the league who aren't liking the love Leonard is getting.
"Not everybody in the NBA feels the same way about Kawhi as you do."
"There are some people who are frustrated Kawhi has gotten as much love as he has."
"It's not just LeBron (James) actually. There's other top players who feel the same way."
Interesting but what gives?
I can almost forgive LeBron (if what Windhorst says is true) considering Leonard has been a thorn in his side since entering the league but where is this all coming from?
Kawhi is a hard worker and it has been seen. He has increased his scoring each and also is helping lead the Spurs to one of their best starts in franchise history.
One statement in the podcast that was made during the talk on Kawhi was, if he did not have Popovich, where would he be? Are they drudging up the whole "system-player" talk once again?
Laughable right?
Kawhi has proven to be a player that does not have to come from a big school, San Diego State, that is well known for basketball. He has the will and the mindset to work and continue to get better at his game. I do believe that without Popovich, Kawhi could still be as dominant of a player that he has shown to be.
Players always seem to knock a player down from seeing what they are achieving. With Kawhi, you can talk all you want, he won't talk back, he just simply lets his own game do the talking for him.
Maybe that is what these 'players' don't like. He brushes off their comments.
