Kawhi turns down my daughter

People always think celebrities owe them and their little babies something...

[Mugen]

Gotta leave the players alone in public unless its a promo appearance. Cmon man, I get it, everyone wants a pic, but at that rate this poor guy's gonna take 45 mins just to grab his mootopia.

I see Spurs players all the time: Bonner at a Greatclips (lol), Mahinmi at La Cantera Best Buy, Iceman on my flight back from Vegas to SA, Elson at Silo Stone Oak, etc etc

Just say some combo of "Hey Whi-Whi, we're huge fans, great job in the Finals and good luck next season, keep up the hard work man!" as you are walking by. Or maybe don't say anything, just do the Hand symbol, he would dig that.

Stars will recognize the respect and be cooler, might even offer a pic if you come at them like a regular person.

When I saw Iceman, I just smiled and said "Ice!?" at the bag claim after we landed, he audibly chuckled, grabbed his golf bag off the carousel, and we nodded and I walked on by. People were hassling him the whole flight taking pics and walking up to his seat to talk, flashes from cameras every 5 secs (it was a night flight) he's on a plane with no where to hide, must've felt like a 2 hour publicity stunt, that exhausts a Star that just wants to relax on the way home from a golf trip to Vegas.

Crofl, not sure if serious tbh.

Just exploit the kids with phony photo ops at schools and hospitals. I can picture the dude playing flappy birds while at Santa Rosa "visiting" kids.

OP......

Stop trying to get sympathy from people on this website. You've got a better chance of finding Bigfoot. Just look at it this way...at least you got to see Kawhi today. That's more than I got to see or anybody else on this website got to see. If it makes you feel better...I don't have a Kawhi autograph either. But most of the people on this thread are correct...Kawhi doesn't owe you or your daughter anything. You saw Kawhi Leonard today....anything like an autograph or a picture would of just been a bonus. You and your daughter should be stoked that you at least saw Kiwi today...remember the glass is always half full. Quit talking about what you didn't get...

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Good way for your daughter to learn how the world works. Maybe now she won't aspire to be a ing groupie.










Ok, that was mean in truth, though, just leave these guys alone when they're in public. As much joy as they've given us fans, I think the least we can do is let them enjoy their off time without being infringed upon by over eager followers.

[mkurts]

Oh man ignoring a little girl in a cast who only wants an autograph ~ that is so y low ....


or



It was not Kawhi you saw but ninja Ayres in disguise

[Mikeanaro]

This guy and his little girl were luckier than OP... thats life.

[Embedded]

Don't be afraid to speak up bro. When you give me bad service at the car wash, I'm gonna let you know.

Haaahgaghahga

Uh.... isn't this Josh Davis?

[Mikeanaro]

Uh.... isn't this Josh Davis?

Technically yes he is but dont tell them.

[Chinook]

Davis' face is hilarious in that pic.

For Parker haters:

I was helping coach a girls AAU team away in a Tourney in California. Coming back, stop over in Phoenix, there is Parker sitting all alone in the terminal peacefully listening to music headphones on. So here we go, I'm holding back a stampede and the parents are telling me to release the Krackens. So I release the kids and just head down the other way. He signed all autographs and took pictures once he found out the team was from SA. Parents and kids elated and I'm the bad guy.

Fck you Parker. I'm hated and with good cause.

[Biernutz]

Are you sure it was Kawhi? was he wearing #2......Could it have been Spurs player Johsua Davis who looks like Kawhi?

[phxspurfan]

Is Duncan known to turn down fans? if so I find that kind if disappointing.....

He hates random attention. Duh

[024]

At least he didn't take her to prom.

[manu2timdynasty]

I forgot about the eye infection. I was told the young hot latina girl was doing all the shopping and kawhi was telling her what to get. Was told to me that he was bossing around a Mexican chick Makes sense. I would have come across as the ahole probably.

Yes, and it also makes sense he said no to the picture.

[tmtcsc]

Honestly, I'd have been disappointed if that happened to my kid too. But that being said, some guys just don't like attention and Kawhi doesn't come off as very approachable. Meh, he's a kid himself with little social skills.

this (also still the best current sig).

sometimes I wonder if he's a bit autistic, he acts a lot like my brother who even said the same thing. those types are very detached and tend to focus on whatever their outlet is, which fortunately for Spursfan, it's basketball for Kawhi. or maybe he's simply in a bad mood often or wasn't in a people mood that day. who knows, i wouldn't be shocked if we hear stories like this again.
i can't blame parents for being disappointed, especially if their kid is on crutches, but can't argue with what he's brought to the team since being here.

[jag]

I would have told him to not be such a pick

I would of had words with any of those [guys]

Don't be afraid to speak up bro.

Anyways, I doubt you would ever speak like that to my face, so why do it online?

Here we have a classic example of 40+ year old guy who started lifting weights at his local gym (about a month ago) and has that irrational confidence sky high.

It's the only way to explain someone casually tossing out phrases like "I would have had words" [with a 6'7" black man in peak physical condition], and "bet you wouldn't say that to my face."

He's going to be in line at HEB one day and get salty with the wrong Mexican. After the dude goes open-hand on his face, in front of his daughter, he'll stop coming to ST and saying re ed stuff like "bet you wouldn't say that to my face."

[Juggity]

lmao, get over yourself OP.

[Malik Hairston]

I wish I didn't idolize athletes when I was younger, tbh..being a player-fan is funny online for trolling purposes, but the sooner you learn not to be emotionally invested in sports, the better off you are..

It's just a form of entertainment..they don't give a about us, nor should they, just like I don't give a about strangers in my everyday life..

Sympathizing and relating to multi-millionaires is virtually impossible, save for few exceptions, tbh..


I understand why OP is mad, though, I don't really blame him for that, nor do I blame Leonard..OP is en led to be annoyed, just like Kawhi is en led to decline an autograph/picture..I'm not a parent, but I imagine that it would be difficult to break the news to your kid, especially if she's a spoiled princess type..
