Was really weird. He hardly played and didn't assert himself at all when he was out there. Didn't seem overly interested to be there, tbh.

It wasnt just him. Harden had like 0 points in the first half. :lol

I suspect they knew what the "buddies" of the west had in mind and just was disinterested.

[HarlemHeat37]

Don't think it was a "buddy" thing, tbh..I doubt Giannis is part of a clique, and he dominated the game..

It just isn't Kawhi's style..it's an attention whore game led by Russ<3, following in the footsteps of Kobe..

[spurs10]

Yeah Kawhi is smart enough to know when a game is completely meaningless. :lol

[PopTheGOAT]

Meh. 1/10 troll

[LakerHater]

He told Kerr he only wanted 15 mins cuz he felt a lil banged up :wow

[rasuo214]

Are we going to look at pre-season box scores as well? Summer League? They're all equally meaningless.

[will_spurs]

He started with the steal & dunk and then thought "I ain't about that life".

[cjw]

Yeah Kawhi is smart enough to know when a game is completely meaningless. :lol

Two guys playing in the game tonight have won Finals MVP. They don't care about exhibition game MVP.

Though thought it was funny that Kawhi was on points watch for Davis to break Wilt's record.

Yeah, I saw that too. :lol

[DeRozan m8]

He put up 4 shots.

When you have morons putting up 39 shots and 26 shots, you'd just stop giving a fuck tbh

[Arcadian]

Honestly, it's gotten to the point where I respect players more who don't act like tryhards in the ASG. It's become such a pointless event. Even the TNT analysts were saying, "The teams need to be more competitive with each other." It shouldn't matter what style of player you are. The ASG should be a showcase of skills, period. Kawhi's skills are just as entertaining as anybody else's.

Not sure why Kawhi got significantly less playtime than the other starters at age 25, though. Was that a Pop decision?

[TheGreatYacht]

Embarrassing, tbh...

Not worth my vote next year

[Down Under]

Reminds me so much of TD during all star games, just looked totally lost out there :lol

[NameLess Scrub]

The combined 374 makes you think, but it still shouldn't surprise much, given Kawhi's character, the nature of the game, and the group of protagonists already set (Russ/KD/AD).

[Poolboy5623]

Can't believe you guys watched that shit..

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Kawhi got benched because he takes defense too seriously and the ASG has developed a serious allergy to defense.

[cutewizard]

The USA vs World game was better, imho

[poeticism707]

This.

[hater]

This game is for the kids

:lmao grown men watching this and bitching about it :lmao

[sananspursfan21]

He started with the steal & dunk and then thought "I ain't about that life".

Would have been hilarious if he got the steal and just to spite everybody layed it in instead

OT but Arcadian is such a terrible poster, tbh.

The "buddy" thing was that they (West team) planned on doing all the things to get AD to win the MVP.

Kawhi such a fucking leader. Knows the difference between a meaningless game and when the real games start.

[boutons_deux]

ASG is sports show biz at its worst, degrading the game.

[DMC]

All you had to do was watch the 1st quarter to see that KL was basically watching two people play one on one full court.

The reason Russ did so well is because he ran back every possession, most guys didn't. That meant he got the pass.

Same for Davis later in the game.

Funny they cock blocked Russ' attempt at a 3rd MVP.

KL gave up but had nothing to do with not getting the ball. He saw guys shooting from half court over and over. Decided it's just shoot around, not even a game.

[dbestpro]

The game was pretty much unwatchable even for the players who attended.

How can you not love this guy? He was born to be a Spur.

Yeah. He was far more aggressive in his first game and tried too doo too much.

[apalisoc_9]

Also, Durant is such a passive bitch.

Dude tried so hard to cock block russ.

What a bitch. :lol

[HarlemHeat37]

The "buddy" thing was that they (West team) planned on doing all the things to get AD to win the MVP.

Maybe you're right, I just watched the highlights and looked at the box score, tbh..

Giannis looked like the most entertaining player, based on the highlights..

[Solid D]

Kawhi was taking it easy. He trotted or walked in the area within 15 feet either side of mid court, tbh.

[NameLess Scrub]

How can you not love this guy? He was born to be a Spur.

He seems like the new Timmy in that aspect.

Did you picture it with a DX crutch chop too?

[lefty20]

3 point contest is literally the only thing worth watching. Hell even the celebrity game is more entertaining than the actual ASG.

Dunk contest was good for a couple of years. Apparently this year wasn't good (haven't watched it).

[skulls138]

I saw the winner and it was pretty damn good.

[Slippy]

Most couldnt complete their dunks but still enjoyed watching it more than the allstar game . Now that was a chore that i couldnt be bothered finishing

[DMC]

ASG went to shit once Melo was added. Dude had no business in that game, none. Most of the roster on each side was basically glorified chuckers and role players.

[DarrinS]

The ASG is NOT for players who enjoy playing defense.

[gospursgojas]

For those of us that play even a bit of pick up ball, you know the games when no one is really playing and its just the 2-3 best players there fooling around. Long in bound passes to whomever is snowbirding after an uncontested fancy layup.

Not fun at all.

[NameLess Scrub]

Understandable. It's 48 minutes of non competitive BB. Highlights are impressive though.

I guess if it's worth watching the condensed version of a game, is this.

[cd98]

I stopped watching these nonsense games years ago, and I don't miss them at all.

[sananspursfan21]

Haha now I did!

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Kawhi was an all-star? Cool.
