You said his whole team is calling him out, I doubt it. In fact, there are guys supporting him in public, denying media reports.
About playing through injuries...IDK. I don't expect a young player ruin his career for just one year. It's not like the Spurs will play the Finals this season either. I mean, I wonder if it's worth playing him injured at this point of the season.
I guess we disagree about this, you said players should play through pain/injuries, I've said before -not just about Kawhi- it doesn't led to good things, that players should protect their bodies.

Do we see him at the next Spurs home game (OKC)? On the bench I mean I have given up hope for in his uniform. Is it over, over (Kiwi and the Spurs), or is this being overblown by the media and other teams in the league hopeingly trying to end the Spurs dynasty?
SJax just went in.

lol damn.
Nothing new here, Captain Jack has been taking shots at Pop/Tony/Manu for years. The salt is real.
damnnnnnnnn
Whatever the case is, no one involved is handling this situation well.
How the mighty have fallen.
Only LMA is handling it well. Saved any dignity the Spurs have left.
Summary of the interview just to save people time from watching this crap. Jax insulted Manu and Parker's manhood by saying they don't have the balls to confront people and that Pop told them to confront Kawhi. He also claims Parker cost the Spurs the WCF in '12 by not passing him the ball more. He says he has no respect for Parker anymore which is pretty stupid since he never had respect for Parker to begin with. This is equivalent to a democrat saying they have lost respect for Trump after the Stormy Daniels interview when we all know there was no respect to begin with. Jax is that jealous jilted bitter ex that never shuts the up.
And Cowturd hates the Spurs, so he was glowing the whole time and thanked SJax for the great interview.
And we hate Cowhurd back. Is there anyone more smug? Want to sock him in the face everytime he opens his mouth.
Oh SJax. The prodigal son that returned and it all up. Sad.
So we've had tweets from Green, Manu, Tony and Pop but nobody's posted any tweets of LMA's feelings on the situation. Surely, this has to be more than just an oversight by the media to completely ignore the only other all-star on the team....... or is it?
Cowherd likes it because it's juicy and controversial, which helps him keep his listeners entertained. For him to call Tony and Manu cowards...that's must listen to radio for Cowherd. He probably has SJax booked again in two weeks. If he cared about getting the real story, he would've asked to interview Elliott or Bonner or Robinson, guys that are actually around the team and have a pulse. Tim would be in that group, but he'd never go on that show.
Agree 100 percent.
He was cleared to play months ago and will not. Outside of finding out he has some degenerative issues with the quad in the off-season this is almost the point of no return. How do we or any team in the league trust this man ever again? He gets hurt, or says he is hurt, the team looks at him and says "You are fine" he says "No I am not" and they pay him 20 plus million bucks to sit out the season. That is what has happened, and it could easily happen again. A player does not keep sitting out this long when doctors say "You are fine". That is why his behavior has wrecked his value. What team would trust him not to pull this again? What GM would take the chance of paying him crazy money, only to refuse to play in spite of team doctors assuring him he can? He is ed unless he plays out his deal and balls out all year long. People talking about him protecting some big pay day. Big pay day??? He just flushed a whole season over an issue every doctor has told him is nothing.. Spurs would be INSANE, to extend his deal after this .. INSANE!!
It’s like you clearly forgot that the dude came back and played after being cleared. He apparently didn’t feel right and stopped. It’s also like you either forgot or haven’t heard Pop recently say that his current doctors have not cleared him yet..
Pop if you were reading between the lines is clearly very pissed off about the situation. The whole team is pissed off. Tony Parker is flat out taking shots at the man. The team doctors cleared him like 15 times. He won’t play. There is no trust.
It's insane thinking he's not injured/refusing to play for protecting his next contract/whatever...He already played this season and his quad wasn't fine.
If you ask me, I feel bad for Kawhi.
I truly believe he's injured. He lost a season where the Spurs could get NBA best record turning him into the favorite to win MVP, he lost everything, every NBA award, every All-NBA spot...
It's insane to think he fakes something to lose all those things.
It's also insane to think he deserves blame for getting a 2nd opinion. If his NYC doctors say he's not able to play yet, telling Pop that, I wouldn't blame him..It's his body and his career.
If you think no one -coach/gm- would want Kawhi on his team, you should wait until the offseason to know how wrong you're on this...
Pop made it clear that both he, Kawhi and everyone involved are upset about the situation, and that Kawhi wanted to be on the court
Tony said a very similar comment months ago before Kawhi came back the first time and nobody cared because the drama had not escalated to what it is now.
As I said previously, even though there's a lot on Kawhi for not communicating & the like, he was misdiagnosed in 2012 with tendinitis instead of tendinopathy & is extremely cautious that this could turn into a career changing injury.
Kawhi played through a badly sprained ankle, after it was already badly sprained... Until it gon sprained a third time... The only ppl who thinks he is soft is spurs players... Literally every athlete asked about it sides with Kawhi... His former coach says he played through every injury... Only spurs fans think Kawhi is all of a sudden lying and purposefully ruining a full year if his prime and what would have been an MVP season for some strange reason
Dude LA is a black hole... What are u talking about? When the ball goes to him, he rarely passes... There are times players are open under the basket off a double team and he shoots a fade away... But ok... Keep believing he is Duncan
You said it urself... It makes no sense he is doing this for a big pay day... So could it be possible that... Hmmm.... He is ACTUALLY HURT!?? smh... Who do you trust more? Your doctor? Or your body? If ur doctor tells you nothing is wrong, but you feel pain in the area... You're gonna think ur body is lying to you? Or that the doctor isn't perfect?
