An Sportsnation is having a Kawhi for MVP show right now..... LOL
Did anyone see his final thoughts on Kawhi? He sounds like a fan but of course he has to throw shade! Alvin Gentry he said mentioned Kawhi an Jordan in the same sentence... I don't know how to post videos, so I couldn't. But can someone find it an post it please?

this guys re ed. just listen to 0:48...
"did you know that while kawhi averaged over 48% shooting over the last 2 regular seasons, that number dipped to just over 36% in the postseason"
what the is this guy smoking? he's not even right if he was messed up and tried citing his playoff 3pt%

Jesus what a ing idiot. He must've been thinking of his beloved Kirby whom he and others had no problem comparing to MJ even though efficiency wise he didn't measure up.
WTF? Doesn't anyone do a reality check before they say on the air? 36%... seriously? I wouldn't be shocked if Westbrook shot than kind of percentage. But Kawhi? To get to be a national commentator, shouldn't you be required to at least watch some games? I don't care if he has a stupid ing opinion on something - but damn, you can always get the facts right with a few seconds of looking.
My final thoughts on that PoS are I can't stand him and wish him gone.
SAS is s piece of and ESPN is a piece of for employing him.
Wait, didn't Kawhi win a le and a finals MVP? So why is he intimating that his game dips in the playoffs?
Like I said, when it's not someone they want to win, they find random stats that diminish what the players doing and show them over and over. When it's someone they like, they ignore all the stats that blatantly show the their guy is not as good as being made out to be, and pump the stats help their cause.
Typical sceaming a smith.
Wow!!! Let's not let the facts get in the way SAS!!!
Aside from the FG% error, he wasn't wrong at all. Mentioning Kawhi in the same breath as Jordan offensively is asinine. Even if Kawhi goes off in the playoffs it's still way too soon.
Smith was going on the other day about what a great appointment Magic was as GM. Gentry wasn't saying in anyway that Kawhi was as good as MJ, just that he was similar in that he played both ends and had some similar mid range and post moves.
Pretty sure one doesn't need to fact check before spewing on air anymore. Accountability is a thing of past, now you just say whatever you wish to be true.
Alas, I wish these were the final thoughts of SAS. Sadly, he'll continue to spout nonsense (very loudly) another day.
Screamin' A. Smith is such a blowhard. Can't stand that dude. And straight up lying like that in the video lol. Dumbass needs to factcheck before going on national television and slandering a player with lies like that.
Scott Van Pelt just did a great bit on a Kawhi in his closing thoughts. Will post once I find it.
Media talking heads get defensive when you talk about their darlings
sup batmanu

Blah, blah at the know it all types of people.
Speaking truthfully, its faux outrage designed to allow him to make a reaction like this Final Take and generate attention for the show like we're all doing now. What SAS really thinks we'll never know (or care).
He probably knows what Gentry meant. But he just wants to go to the stoning because Gentry said this meal was good enough for Jehovah.
They days of real sports journalism, where the person handling the topic strove for a fair and unbiased account, strove in fact to be a real journalist, have been replaced by media blowhards like SAS who know the new game is to be as loud and calculated for controversy as possible.
I saw the thread le and hoped SAS died after the show ...
I'll still take Gentry's opinion over SAS's any day of the week.
