He posted that pic and said it was his. "he had great seats". If you google image search it though it takes you to this blog
http://thelaugers.com/?paged=2

so his name is either scott or he lied and posted some strangers pics because he tried to call out elnono and proceeded to get on when nono posted actual game pics that were his.

Asperger's syndrome doesn't have to be bad, tbh. Einstein and Newton had it. Many folks claim that Messi has it too, hence his supernatural soccer abilities.

Asperger's sufferers usually have high IQ's, but are socially awkward.

I don't think anyone on this board knows Kawhi well enough to make such an assumption about him having Asperger's

The syndrome gets a bad rap because it's associated with the word autism. In this case, it's not a problem of developed learning, but a problem associated with social development.

This is coming from the got who threatens to commit suicide whenever the Spurs lose a game... I don't think the spectrum goes far enough to adequately cover you

Is there a basketball player who doesn't stick his tongue out? One thing I know for sure is the suicide case that goes by kobyz is probably not a neurologists.

I hope Kawhi doesn't read the forum and see this, those people could be very sensitive and i don't want his head in a mess going forward... I really don't want to insult anybody and surely not Kawhi but i do think being with this condition could be problem for a professional player, could cause mental difficulties and leadership difficulties...

can't see why any spur would stoop to reading most of the threads in this forum.

This?

Does someone with Asperger's syndrome deserved a max contract? He could never be a leader with that thing, so should max him or not?

No, we need to S&T for Matt Barnes

I have an Asperger's child. Asperger's syndrome is on the spectrum of autism - it's a high-functioning autism. It's usually associated with lack of eye contact and difficulty with social interaction. I wouldn't say that KL has Asperger's. He has no problem with eye contact - he's just quiet - nothing wrong with that. And Asperger people tend to be so focused, so obsessed with their passion, that they are great in their field - so it's not necessarily a bad thing.

I would guess (other than his natural quiet personality) that he has a lack of confidence when it comes to public speaking - in particular - grammar. We're so used to Duncan, Parker, Manu - who have had years of public speaking in both languages and in Duncan's case - a college education in psychology. KL's not only dealing with overcoming his natural reticence and probable fear (most people have this) of public speaking, but expressing himself in proper English (as opposed to 'hood talk).

And as far as not being worth the max - he is - just for his basketball skill on both ends of the court and youth. Leadership skills which will take a long time to develop (if at all) will be icing on the cake. Take a look at some of Lebron's early interviews and the difference between then and now and Lebron is naturally out-going and has had a TON of practice interviewing.

Maybe Kawhi has Asperger's syndrome but I don't know how that has anything to do with FMVP and DPOY though.

You have Assburger's Syndrome. You are an assburger.

This thread is about kiwi and his condition...

Talking and smiling in interviews, dancing with his teammates, leading his team, taking over games...

Kawhi didn't have Asperger in college but suddenly he has it playing in the NBA? People who have AS are born with it

His condition? SYFM ignorant asshole

Kawhi will lead us to 6.

Already more individual hardware than than Parker at age 24

[Nero5]

In the latest DSM Asperger's Syndrom has been deleted and no longer officially exists. Now called high functioning ASD

[Kawhi 5-0]

I was told by a doctor friend of mine that I probably have Asperger's. Probably why I identify so much with Kawhi. One thing is certain: Leonard has the most refreshing at ude of any NBA player I've seen in a long time. Shy guy with cornrows who's an athletic beast...what an awesome dude!

At 24 Parker was already a 3 time champ and finals MVP. What's taking Kawhi so long? Brick FTs?
