Why go there? Why not just let the thread be appreciation for Kawhi and the article? You are a trolling bitch.

He often drives a rehabbed '97 Chevy Tahoe, nicknamed Gas Guzzler, which he drove across Southern California's Inland Empire as a teenager. "It runs," Leonard explains, "and it's paid off."

:lol :tu

"Nothing new here. "

Remarkable young man as well as a premier player. We're lucky to have a front office that saw those qualities and took the risk to take him in the draft. All that said, we're unlucky in that he doesn't open up and have fun with the fans who adore him. His "zone of privacy" may surpass that of Kareem and Bill Russell.

This winter, after his $94 million contract kicked in, he panicked when he lost his coupons.

---

What the hell.... he reminds me of another Spur player... Matt Bonner!

Holy shit we are so fucking lucky.

Spurs fans are ridiculously lucky. It's also amazing how much luck goes into things as well. As much as we not-in-the-know think there is always some master plan, sometimes there are big questions that are unanswered. It's what made me so uncomfortable about the Kawhi trade originally.

But SA did enough to take the calculated gamble. Then they obviously worked their butts off (mainly Kawhi) to make it work. Pretty amazing.

It's the truth bitch. The cat crew bitches about nearly every Kawhi thread made... why don't you go tell them to shut the fuck up and stand up for our best player?

He retreated to San Diego for an entire summer of three-a-day workouts, some sessions so grueling that he would drop a dozen pounds in a 24-hour span.

This is a sports forum, you just asked me to go tell a couple people trolling you to "stand up for our best player." Nobody even negatively responded. You obviously are an idiot with a lot of free time on your hands....

Who are the members of this "krew" you are referring to?

Leonard earned an invitation to the three-point contest at All-Star weekend, last month, though he turned it down.

---

huh, turns out he didn't get snubbed.

He was 1st or 2nd (can't remember which at that time) in 3PT FG% at that time. On a team with the 2nd best record in the league.

You really think he didn't receive an invite?

Thanks for posting! :toast

Love RC quote.

great article tbh... :tu

It's not so often that a major media puts up an article about the Spurs that isn't full of tired old shit clichés... but that's one of them. Good job by this writer.

And yet you're the only one bitching right now. Why does it bother you so much when people call out the cat crew?

As I was reading the article, I was thinking damn this dude is literally Duncan 2.0. Then I saw David West's quote :lol

He was the baby of the family, minded by four older sisters, who stood in long lines to buy his Air Jordans and prophesied in home videos his athletic feats.

I think I'd have to hate myself if I was writing sh** like that.

there was never word to confirm that he did.

Great article

Pop loves Kobe so much lmao

I wish we could have seen them together on the same team, they probably would have finished with 8 rings a piece
