Funny how he says to look at the numbers...Kawhi's PER this year is 17.4, while RJ's best year with the Spurs was 13.1. That's ignoring Kawhi's superior on-ball defense as well. Not to mention Jefferson's completely underwhelming performance in the playoffs both years compared to Kawhi's great performance in last year's playoffs.

"tenure" is misused, ing sports journalists.
He makes good points, tbh.
Nothing wrong with being gay, just don't suck it on the court...
See what I did there?
(crickets)
Seriously, his aggression level was my main issue. He avoided contact on every drive which negates his primary ability. 3s are nice and all but without the threat of taking it inside, he was shut down easily and was a net negative. Love how Dice basically called him a pussy after a playoff loss. Also Sheed basically saying that he didn't want to play for the Spurs cause he thought our trade for RJ was a bad move. Good times!
Harvey Oswald, professional scrub, somebody shoot that POS.
ie J was mostly an overpaid 3pt shooter and less of a defender than Kawhi.
Hope Kawhi abuses him tonight..
Hope Kawhi reads that.
Truth is RJ was great for us. He helped lead us to the best record in the West (61-21) in 2010-11, and if it hadn't been for Ginobili breaking his elbow in the final game of the regular season, then RJ would have performed better without all the added pressure of carrying the offense.
The truth is you all hated RJ because of his contract and because he was a vet who wasn't going to apologize for his shortcomings. But as a player he was very good for us--he just didn't mesh with the expectations of the fans or fit with the personality of the team.
Why all the hate? He did us a solid by missing key free throws in the GS series in last year's playoff run.
Yeah he wasn't that bad, his contract just wasn't very good. He was certainly worse than Leonard is now though
This is gonna be like when rj talked shot about the garden. And then ny wiped the floor with him
Cant believe there are people defending this guy. Well everyone has their fans I guess.
RJ hate is the only example I can think of where GNSF blind hating on Spurstalk actually evolved into common mainstream NBA belief that he sucked on the Spurs.
He was never bad on the Spurs. The Spurs were never bad with him. Sure, his contract stunk and we were never gonna win a le with him- but Kiwi hasn't won us a le yet either tbh.
I can think of 6, 8 other players who choked just as bad against Phoenix and Memphis those years we got eliminated.
Blame RC and Pop for bringing him in, knowing that most small forwards are in their system.
He's right, the system doesn't allow for three's to get touches in San Antonio. That said, he's an idiot for comapring himself to kawhi whose PER is a million times better than his.
Jefferson>>>Jackson
Wasn't the whole team playing like when RJ was here? Why blame just RJ?
^^^^^ Ehhhhhhhhhh a little far there saying great.^^^^^^ TRUE!
I guess, dude was pure trash.
He was bad considering his contract and what was expected of him. He was also one of the worst defenders in the nba and screwed up the ball movement with his hesitancy on offense, couldn't be counted on period. Leonard on the other hand nearly lead us to a le and has been a key player since his rookie year.
We also had guys like Bonner/Hill/Blair etc. around RJ, a recipe for disaster on defense.
Dude was scared of contact.
He was fine, nothing more, nothing less.
I don't think he was HORRIBLE...but he played well below his contract level, and was pretty ty in the playoffs.
