He turned down my daughter.
“He basically tells me what he wants to do now,” Popovich said of Leonard. “He’ll take the ball. He’ll send the screener away. He’ll decide if he wants to go one-on-one with no screen, no pick. He is much more demonstrative, looks for his shots more. He knows he has a green light. I think that’s the difference. He’s making 3s or he’s driving it. Now he’s finding people on the court. While people are giving him attention, he’s finding people like Patty Mills for wide-open shots. He’s a tough cover. He’s really just more confident, more aggressive, more hungry to score than in the past.” - Gregg Popovich

There were a few times when calling for an iso wasn't great, but he's still learning. That call for an iso after the and-1 and then the steal at half court was a backbreaker for the Warriors.
And he got up for that last Simmons dunk instead of spaz and twiddle his braid
Patty is just a better fit if kawhi is playmaking. Been like that for years. Porker stans.
This was the only missing piece of his game IMO..
He's never going to be an elite dribble penetrator or passer, it just isn't natural for his build/style of play, but he has improved enough that it's a strength of his..my only criticism of his game in the playoffs has been his reluctance to take over, opting to be a bystander instead..
I'm not one of these idiot fans who uses silly sports cliches like "the star always has to take the last shot" like we hear from Al-Quobe(usually in reference to Lebron passing last shots to open teammates), but I don't think the star of the team can just stand aside while others are attempting to make the crucial plays in big games..
To be fair, he hasn't been put in an easy position, as he joined the best franchise of the past 20 years, a team that still had Duncan/Ginobili/Parker on the roster, which naturally caused a reluctance from Kawhi to step on anybody's toes IMO(especially since he wasn't a top-tier prospect, so he wasn't treated like a superstar, coming up)..now that the team is clearly his, hopefully he won't be shy to demand the ball in key playoff moments..
Taking about Al-Quobe, do you think his newly-found aggression might have to do with getting some tutoring from Mamba, tbh?
Has it ever happened a player goes from 3&d hopeful (wishing he would pan out as the next Bowen
what a freakin' rise..
Great point Harlem!
Maybe, Kawhi doesn't have Asperger's after all.
Stupid gots like TheGreatYacht and SASdynasty! will still pretend that Kawhi is a role player and Porker is the "head of the snake," though.
KL was ballin. Finally. Great game. Took control
But your sig, last pic IS AWESOME. 10k posts and finally got right.
Honestly, who started that and why?
Kawhi is a alpha.
Durant is an beta.
That's just the facts of life...
Anyone who has seen interviews with him and is smart enough to note the similarities.
Ahh... Okay. So just nothing from nobodies, but their uneducated opinions. Rock on, bud. Seems to be par for the course around... all over.
I mean it's sort of a joke; but the funny part of it is that it can't be completely ruled out. I could walk you through it. Perhaps, you're not familiar with Asperger's is all. TBH, Michael Jordan was a bit like that when he first came on the scene.
I have education on Asperger's, thank you. I'm sure it was a great joke to some. Just like people calling you an outright racist and Mormon. Great joke to some. Including yourself.
If you did, then you'd get the joke. Frankly, it's not just a joke either. People legitimately subscribe to that theory. Could be why his mom lives with him, bro. Could be a lot of things; but I mean be butthurt about it if you need a good cry.
Uhh...okay buddy.
