Kawhi is "above the law" during Clippers practice

[Extra Stout]

While we’re talking about pet peeves, “begging the question” does not refer to something that prompts a question. Begging the question is when an answer is not a real answer, but rather just a restatement of the question.

For example, if you answered “how is Kawhi going to stay healthy this year?” with “he’s going to try to avoid injuries,” that is begging the question.

Not when it doesn't affect communication. Did you not understand what I was getting at over a nym?

Since it's frequently used incorrectly, like you did, unfortunately, yes. The very definition of nym should tell you that it's incorrect, though. Did you not want to know the correct usage?

I don't mind. That should have been clear by my use of "okay" and then correcting it.

I do find it interesting you found it difficult understand what I was trying to say though.

Begging the question does not have to be a response. It is just an argument that assumes itself.

True, as in “Kawhi is the best player on the Clippers because none of the other players are as good as he is.”

Or, “Christianity is true because the Bible says so.” Or, “The Bible is true because the New Testament says Jesus fulfilled a bunch of Old Testament prophecies.”

The Clippers got the worst possible schedule for Kawhi’s load management. They have 25 times where they play 3 games in 4 days-most in the NBA. They also travel 3600 miles more than the next closest team, Brooklyn and 7200 miles more than 10 most GS. Clippers will be lucky to get 55 regular season games out of him.

. He could have the best ing season of his life, lock down everyone, shoot 50/40/90 splits and get no awards, and be on no All anything teams. You have to play 65 games for any of that, and he’s only done that three times in his career, all in SA.

its an attempted rebuttal, not a "debunking". i reject the premise that lowry was the leader of the team. lowry might have had a more vocal leadership role (anybody is more vocal than kawhi) but thats not the only form of leadership

when the chips were down, the team looked to him and relied on him. he never lost composure, set the tone, played through injury in those playoffs, and the team feeds off that kind of stuff

Being a good player, or a clutch player (whenever not "load managing") is not the same as being a leader.

Robert Horry was a clutch player with a bunch of championships. But he wasn't a leader.
