To be alpha..feels good tbh. I know that feeling of being Alpha, Kawhi.
He chose wisely, over being in Lillard's team, to Kawhi's team.
Lillard is salty and Portland accused him of being a diva.
He was just wise, and if he was going to be a second or third banana somewhere, he better tie his future to the best player he could find.
Wise choice Lamarcus.
Don't play yourself, 3-0.

Remember when Lillard acted like a legit little when he didn't make All Star LMAO
playing with that.
Kawhi wants a championship, gives no about this
His instagram post was on some 'teenage girl crying over a break up' level kind of .
This has always been Kawhi's team this year and last.
How awkward was it when he got added due to Blakes injury LOL
lol front running thread
Now, Lillard says he won't say anything on social media. He was embarrassed about how people perceived his instagram rant. He acted en led and basically said thanks to the people who didn't vote for him which included the coaches and the commissioner lmao. You don't call out the coaches and Adam Silver. Big no no.
Did he actually make this comment??? That's a f*cking stupid comment for a player that isn't even consideration of being the 3rd best player on team.
Same interview but different reporter. From Paul Coro at AZCentral
“Winning a ring, that’s why I’m here,” said Aldridge, who is 30 years old. “That’s my goal. That’s why I’m trying to play a new role and not be the guy that I was. I want to win a ring, get better and try to learn.”
I think LMA knows, its everybody's team in San Antonio. Everybody checks their ego at the door (Parker for the most part has been doing that this year, thankfully). Kawhi is the best player. But on any given night, almost any player could be the leading scorer for the Spurs. Kawhi is just the tip of that spear.
Stupid self-centered remark. "Not be the guy that I was".... what the does that mean?
I want him to play like an all-star, which incidentally he hasn't been doing.
The dude is not bringing the effort, period.
The guy has this notion that this is one player's team. That the team revolves around the play of one player. WTF is he talking about?
Saw a few signs of Kawhi Kobme last night.
Forcing chit up. Double teamed, plenty of time on the shot clock and doing the fade away clanker bull .
Hope this can get nipped in the bud.
LA has fit in better and more quickly with the Spurs than just about any other first year guy has during the Duncan era.
His numbers are down from what they were in Portland, both because he's not playing as much and doesn't have to be *the* guy every night. When he's needed to be *the* guy, he's been that; he's been an offensive workhorse down the stretch of some tight games already and when games haven't been tight, there've been a number of instances where he's been a catalyst in blowing those games open.
He's been playable as the lone big in small-ball situations even while he learns the intricacies of defensive coverages.
He's found the spots on the floor for his offense and has become increasingly confident about just taking the shot when it's there. He's been a revelation defensively and is a big part of the reason why this team has been so strong on the defensive end.
He's going to make the All-Star team and he certainly seems to have been readily accepted by his teammates while being increasingly comfortable with them.
Of all the Spurs acquisitions by trade or free agency during the Duncan era, he is (perhaps unsurprisingly) the most immediately effective player they've brought in.
No ? What do you think David West is doing?
David West has fit nicely. He hasn't been as impactful to the Spurs as LaMarcus Aldridge.
In my view, Aldridge's impact has exceeded the impact Boris had when he arrived mid-2012. Boris made a good team better than it had been, though that team took off because it jettisoned Richard Jefferson to bring back Stephen Jackson and open up playing time for Kawhi. Aldridge's play is like the combination of those things for this team.
Interesting read on AZCentral about how close LMA became a Sun.
“Things change,” Aldridge said. “I’ve always enjoyed being the guy. I think working so hard in Portland to earn the right to have it be my team and to have my own team over the years and try to play at a high level, that was hard-earned. So I take pride in that. I cherish those years. I don’t want to be that guy. This team is so stacked that they really don’t need me to be that guy here.
“This is more Kawhi’s team and we all kind of fit in around him and try to make him better and try to make his life a little bit easier. I think if I was trying to be that guy still, then I should’ve not came. But I’m OK with trying to help Kawhi be great every night.”

Speaking of salty es, check this one out.
So you're an only child?To be alpha..feels good tbh. I know that feeling of being Alpha, Kawhi.
IMO, this why we have seen the sudden transformation of Parker. It just took Parker seeing a guy that very much has a similar character in that regards to come in here and just let it go. LMA signing help the Spurs in that regards as well.
I notice that too especially in the 1st quarter. Twice Boban was deep in the paint on his man but Kawhi didn't pass it to him and dribbled around before taken off balance jumpers. Those were definitely Kobe moments. I was like, WTF Kawhi.
Noticed that too. But I give Kawhi a pass, I attribute it to being named a first time All-Star.
