If defense was acknowledged in MVP votings his chances would be better, but looking at the Superstars of the league (especially Anthony Davis) odds remain small for Kawhi.
he already learned the "miss crucial free throw" thing from manu
Didn't he go an do it again against Cleveland this season?
props to Kawhi for actually talking to the media this time tbh, but if you can't outplay a 35 year old matt barnes you have a long ways to go to get to MVP level

You will find a few that are humble but I agree with you 100% here on both things you said.
That is true but in the last two finals he outplayed Lebron at times so lets not act like a game or two last playoffs defines him. He has had some great series in the playoffs so far and he is still very young and will get better.

His FTs late are a glaring problem though tbh.
If he would've made those FTs Spurs would've gotten the two seed, and he could've saved himself from the embarrassment of being sent home by Matt Barnes

He plays well in blowouts, I'll give him that.
Even if your claims are true and Pop is indeed a bad coach that ed up the series, still getting outplayed by Barnes late in the series and following it losing to the Clippers in the first round was too embarrassment that Kawhi is not in position to come up with those statements or showing anything that could resemble arrogance, should only stay humble, keep working on himself and proving it on the court without talking... Btw, which apalisoc group member alt are you?

Not a fan of ME accolades tbqh
Someone should tell him Van Horn never won an MVP

So do I Kawhi, but let's be honest: you got your ass whooped by freaking Matt Barnes
Kawhi landed in the perfect place for him to flourish.
The Spurs are lucky they landed the player perfect for planting seeds in.
Very carefully, and skillfully, he has been cultivated.
His will, determination, character, and physical attributes are the soil. The corporate knowledge and the foresight of the Spurs is the blueprint.
Tim Duncan, Pop, Manu the culture are the inspiration, responsibility to legacy, and the bridge.
We've only seen a portion of what he may yet still become. He's so friggan young.
Year to year his growth has been remarkable, all the way still incorporating more and more to his array and skill set.
So Kawhi has his Masters in Defense... now he's into his Bachelors when it comes to Offense.
Just barely an Associates into being the Man.
The dimwits don't see it.
It reminds me of playing a strategy game for computer, like Ages of Empires or Starcraft...
You start the game off and you decided which direction you are going to build your tech tree.
Do you play for long game or short game??
Are you going to try and win fast, by making a bunch of quick facilities to pump out troops.. or do you concentrate on going tech fast, so you have advanced level troops with more powerful abilities.
The way he has progressed, is just a sublime blend of natural and logical.
Each step, triumph, and defeat, sets the direction for the next evolution.
People says LMA is here to be Alpha or whatever.... but Maybe he is here to Bring the Alpha out of Kawhi too.
He would never think himself to supplant Duncan or Manu, no matter what Pop says.
But I reckon if we could see deep into Kawhi's soul, I'd guess, that for the reason that he was drafted by the Spurs, and has seniority with them, has been blessed by the Old Big 3, even revived their passion, been to and back with, '13 and '14...
He must feel if there was to be a new heart and soul of the Spurs it's his birthright moreso than an Aldridge's.
Lol. Longtimespursfan getting ethered.
Steph Curry can drag a team to 50 wins by himself?
Steve Nash was back to back MVP, you're telling me he could drag a team to 50 wins by himself?
Yeah, take Klay thompson off that team they still win at least 55 games
Nothing wrong with that. Great to aim high!
I remember when Matt Bonner came into the NBA.
"I want to be the best role player I can be, make and eat sandwiches at my leisure, and just generally have fun!"
Kawhi might win MVP in 5-10 years after Aldridge and the big 3 are gone and the team is made up of young guys + a different coach + Kawhi and Green
i accidentally knocked over my kawhi bobblehead today. a small piece that had connected his left foot to his left leg broke off.
They won a championship without him didn't they?
he already learned the "miss crucial free throw" thing from manu
Pretty much.
He did well in the first finals vs. Bron though, those games were not blowout and he came to play for most of that series. He was one of the few to show up games 6 and 7. I think you guys are selling him short here on some ends. He has FT issues late though I agree and it is glaring at times, can cost you games at key times in the year like last year in which cost them a 2nd seed losing that Cleveland game with his missed FT's. I won't blame a year on him though since they dropped other key games with stupid goofy mistakes. He does need to work on that FT shooting late though, most of the Spurs do if we are being honest.
Porkers fatass got outplayed by langston "d leauge" galloway when they played the knicks. Lmao at blaming kawhi for last season. Lets blame tim for the free throws he used to miss late back in the day.
Loving this hunger.
