First Take: "Is Kawhi Leonard a Superstar?"

Lol skip. So fast forgetting who guarded Westbrook in 14 and Curry in 13 during the playoffs... Geez

The eventual outcome of that play and season solidified the Spurs as one of the top five franchises in the history of the NBA with Five championships.

Wtf? How can any spurfan forget what happened immediately after that strip...

Timmy D, GOAT, fucking buries the dagger through a double

Fully agree, plus it was a thing of beauty. That's why it's in my sig.

You know that South Park episode when one of the kids turns ten and everything he hears turns to shit. Thats how I feel about these two guys. I dont even care if they praise the Spurs. They are both verbal diarrhea.

On the night stand of Tosh was a big photograph of one Skip Bayless. The insinuation of Bayless being gay was more than obvious.

Bayless is a well paid liar - I can't believe this fool (who just makes things up) is paid millions of dollars a year by Disney/ESPN. He was a hack columnist in Dallas 20-25 years ago. I'm sorry Troy Aikman never had the chance to punch Bayless' face in, like he wanted to do years ago when Bayless was spreading gay rumors about him.

LMAO smdh
One of ST's worst takes. Being gay doesn't make you a bad analyst/person. Skip is bad cause that's his role in media. Being a bad-delusional-Cowboy's-JohnnyFootball-fan-analyst.

Yep, the BOX OFFICE narrative is clearly leading to that conclusion. But i think Kawhi has certain persona to the fans around the league and they do take notice as of late, regarding his current ascension to super stardom. The guy is a dark skin nigga not coming from a blue blood NBA lineage, with a good guy persona that works really hard & be respectful to others, he IS marketable if the league decide to. Please don't make the same mistake that they did with TD.

Yeah, i remember that sequence, Westchuck almost, ALMOST stole the ball from TD in the post, lurking from the blind side. When the shot went in, i just knew the Thunderrefs devil has been slain and we are destined to revenge the 2013 calamity.

I guess we all know the answer now. A superstar is a player that other teams game plan for. A superstar is a player that makes everyone else on the team better. Kawhi is a nice little player that shoots the three ball well and plays good defense but his lack of ability to come off a screen and get to the rim or create a shot is what his game is lacking. He's an average passer and average BB IQ. He's still young but as of now he should not be mentioned with the true greats in the league.

Stop trolling...He can't create his own shot? :lmao Check his stats, look where his most points come from...and shut up your mouth.

Fck the stats, we needed KL this game and he was bad.

Just keep in mind this guy is our future so it does not matter what you label him.

How the fuck tou guys saying he was bad tonight? :lol he was our best player

greatcuck, hater and this bitch pg are all the same person. And weren't saying any of this garbage before today :lol

The same clowns come out every bad game Leonard has. They live for it. Never a peep from them when he's on a tear. This season they've only come out a few times. Must kill them they don't have any fuel to work with now.

OOPs. My bad. Don't rip me too much. A ton of stuff went on in the late game overtime.

I know Boris had a HUGE game with a ton of points and big plays in addition to the and 1 from TD.

Manu hit a big 3 as well late.

The wonderful Westbrick shot that hit the top of the backboard after the KL strip that essentially iced the game for SA was the second most memorable play in that game TBH. Good times.

Totally missed my point. Skip has been and is a well paid liar all the way back to his Dallas days. The local writers/broadcasters can't stand the guy because of the way he conducted his business on the radio and in the newspaper before he went ESPN/Hollywood. He lacks integrity - straight or not. I fully understand he plays a role and is well paid for it. IMO he and S. Smith are a clown show. I can't watch that show.
