Man apalisoc and dabom slacking, this interview is relatively old xD
The Spurs defense went down the ter when Bruce started declining and was traded. It only started getting back to being good when the Spurs got Kawhi/Danny/Tiago in the rotation. It's not the Spurs brand of defense that does it, it's the players that do it. As great as Tim is, the defense sucked ass when Bruce left and he was left with 4 guys in the starting lineup between 2009-2011 that weren't very good defenders.

Kawhi doesn't need to thank anybody.
WTF?
WTF is wrong with everyone's reading comprehension? No one said the Spurs D is making Kawhi look good. Awards aren't always given to the most deserving, and the NBA DPOY is a great example of that. That Kawhi wasn't the same type of victim as Duncan (and Bowen, sure) was is due to people not ignoring the Spurs anymore. That's what Parker is saying anyway.
meanwhile...
Troof bomb from our MVP, Parker tbh...
Pinoy short bus Krew can't take it
Cute meltdown lmaooooo
Kawhi is a beast and no one denies that. I can see both sides. Without really reading it or by looking too far into it, I can see how it would rub people the wrong way.
But I think TP has always been an honest person when it comes to interviews. I think this was an honest answer. I don't think there was any intent to discredit Kawhi or put him in his place. I think that is how TP's mind works and he was given a well thought out response to the bigger picture of Spurs and awards.
Parker is such a little
Yep! Burns me up when I see Marc has the award and not Timmy. Marc is a very good defensive anchor no doubt...but he is not, was not and never will be the league's best defender. Timmy should have 3 DPOY. He should have a split (my opinion) with B. Wallace for 2004. They both were beyond great and led their teams to historic levels of defense. Many thought the loss of David would hurt our defense. Timmy lessened his offensive load that year in an attempt to increasingly feature Parker/Ginobili which meant an increase in defensive focus for him. This is exactly why our defensive level was raised another couple of notches. Tim took a Rasho Nesterovic and anchored a historic defense...KG had Rasho for years before and never did that while being a defensive monster himself.
He should have run away with it in 2007. Camby was great...for what he was. He was Ibaka-ish. Jump at anything and swat anything and a GREAT rebounder. Problem was he couldn't anchor a defense as a whole and he was a really average post defender. Tim was MUCH more complete that year. And again Duncan was clearly to me the best defender in 2013 with his renaissance. Every time Duncan's offensive load/focus decreases, his defensive load/focus increases and we see a jump in the Spurs defensive greatness. This year is also no different. He's arguably the best anchor (given the compe ion...sorry Russell) this league has seen and to have no DPOY is absolutely disgusting. But about Kawhi and these comments...its equally as disgusting and are coming from the LAST person that needs to be talking.
Draymond deserved DPOY last year.
I didn't read the post but I Totally think Parker deserves the dpoy. He didn't get blocks or steals but the way he bulked up to defend bigger point guards was very brave and award worty.
"Agendas"
When TP himself set him up for the trap, agenda
Run out of insulin, DarrinS?
“I think Kawhi can say thanks to Bruce and Timmy for those defensive awards,” Parker said.
“I think Kawhi can say thanks to Bruce and Timmy for those defensive awards,” Parker said.

And player fans who gonna say what they're gonna say, anyways.
Seeing how many times Kiwi gets beat off the dribble by quick guards.... He does owe Timmy a thanks after bailing his ass out so often
This slimy er calling his own teammate a system player cements his place in the ass Hall of fame.
TP just opened himself up to be under the microscope in these playoffs even more, tbh.
Kawhi is at a level right now where he doesn't need to do or say , his game does all the talking. This is some beta .
Don't use the franchise player to make a point about 2 other players who never won the DPOY.
If we see TP with a black eye, we know what happened.
I think the main problem here, other than the terrible writing, is the Language barrier. English isn't my primary language as well (it's italian althought I'm not Italian per se. It's complicated) and the way of thinking or using words can change drastically from language to language. In some instances when trying to make a point, one can come/sound as y or rude or whatever. So you end up giving the wrong impression when that wasn't the case or intention.
Parker has a history of making salty and shady comments but in this case I give him the benefit of the doubt.
