    His point of view obviously is that without Spurs gaining respect thanks to dudes like Bowen and Tim, they would have given the trophy to Raymond... not sure why you are mad because this the truth... this happened to Tim several times.

    again nothing wrong with that
    Again. This is an analytics era. Nothing raymond could have done to get it. And not some imaginary "respect". Surely you know this right?

    ^and even if you disagree, that's fine tbh... but again don't see it like undermining Kawhi because it is not
    If you're referring to me, I actually agree with you. That's why I'm saying that people should watch the actual interview.

    This is TP's answer to the question: "So, who's better:Bruce or Kawhi ?"

    A couple things. 1 Why didn't anyone invite me to the "apo thread start revoked" party?

    2 Why do the biggest Parker haters lack a sense of humor? Autism?

    3 Congrats to OP for crafting the le exactly right to trigger but hurt. Nothing is worse than telling thanks for kids and underdeveloped human males.

    Danny Green is a better comparison to Bruce. Kawhi is on a different level, entirely.

    This is all ignoring that David won DPOY timmy winning back to back mvp in years apperently the spurs didnt get the respect they deserve.

    The fact that Parker thinks Kawhi defense needed some sort of make up votes to win dpoy is whats wrong with his stupid ass comment.

    Because regardless of the past this kawhi is still playing at a dpoy level that is so far ahead of its rivals that he gets all the vote.

    It hurts your chances for any award to have compe ion from one of your own teammates. Bowen's entire Spurs career was spent during the Duncan era. They probably diluted each other's support and votes.

    Tim and Manu: Kawhi deserved it. He's been great for us.

    Tony: He owes it Duncan and Bowen.

    What a POS teammate. Then again, he s other teammates' wives.

    Really starting to think there are too many KOFs on this board. Just to think it was just CoK followers, but it's clearly beyond that for some.

    Though both clearly deserving, they were begrudgingly given those awards based on meeting the respective, foolish criteria at the time (Robinson led the league in blocks; Duncan was the best player on the best team), not out of respect for the Spurs.

    The Spurs getting more respect nowadays doesn't make Leonard any less deserving, but it would be naive to think that, along with the rise of defensive metrics, didn't play a role in him winning it. Let's face it, five years ago, someone like Jordan or Whiteside probably wins it.

    Yup. It's pure saltiness because the lack of respect angle he's trying to hide behind is not reflected in reality. And to attribute kawhi's defensive reputation to something so abstract, and wrong as his magical conception of respect transcending years and traveling from Bruce Bowen, of all people, is nothing but hate

    Thats on the advancement of advanced stats. That has nothing to do with what bowen or duncan didnt win in the past.

    Who cares? Tony probably worded things poorly but I doubt Kawhi was offended or anything.

    well if your agenda really is truth and not player fan hijinks, then the issue is really what does parker mean? because he makes a statement "kawhi can thank bruce and tim" without stating what for and why. The only poster who actually looked at the meaning was Chinook who said the comment means Kawhi was aided by the defensive reputation of the team in winning DPOY. I think the statement more refers to motivation to be as good as those two, but chinooks interpretation is better supported by the remaining text:

    Parker then talks about bruce and tim being stubbed for DPOY. This has led many people to think Parker really put a lot of time in this statement when the opposite is true. Parker made a lazy off statement about the old spurs players when asked about kawhi.,

    He also recently said this:


    "It's like me and Manu back in the day. You have to sit and wait your turn. Sometimes I don't see the ball for a while but Kawhi is playing unbelievable. And it's going to be Kawhi's team anyways. I'll try to do my best to stay aggressive and be involved. But Kawhi's going to be the man. So I'll play off of him like all the years I did with Timmy. I'll just stand in the corner and wait for Timmy to do his thing. We always did a great job sharing or just wait our turn, it will be no different with me."

    So are you admitting that his (parkers) statement has no meaning? Or are you saying that when taken in context the meaning is clear?
