Popovich: Kawhi Was Not a Leader

[Man Mountain]

[koriwhat]

he ain't wrong!

[Spurtacular]

Porker not a leader either.

[sananspursfan21]

Get him Pop!

[ducks]

Was the reporter Barry

For a guy who really tries to be as diplomatic as possible, it's quite a salvo, even if he's just speaking the truth. We aren't talking about just implying Leonard's lack of leadership by just answering the question about Ginobili. He said it straight out. Shouldn't be a huge deal, but I could see it becoming one.

Tony was not a leader?

Thought he was given the leadership role (coaching during timeout etc) for a few years already?

Nah. This is non-news. Kawhi has zero interest in leadership.

Good his uncle deserves it
Him answer those questions are much better then talking about politics

And Harden has zero interest in defense. Still got all types of butt-hurt from being on Shaq-tin' so much.

Leaders don't teammates' wives, tbh.

How else do you motivate?

[spursparker9]

Now we can justified Patty's contract.

The money was included for leadership

Prove he did !

Spurs are class and get rid of unclass
Spurs did not deal Parker
He was also in charge of some timeouts

[RD2191]

He's leading the Raptors to the 1 seed in the NBA, I wouldn't mind that type of leader tbh.

[Texas_Ranger]

how can you lead a team if you can't talk?

[spurs10]

Well said Pop!

[ElNono]

TBH, this is Pop taking pot shots. In 2017 before Kawhi got Pachulia'd it was obvious who the leader of this team was and who was gonna get us the ring. When Pop says like this it only validates Kawhi.

I think Pop meant that being the best player and leadership are not mutually exclusive. If it was a shot at him...he's been pretty courteous until now.

It's an obvious shot, dude. Yea, Kawhi may not be a prototypical leader; but there is no doubt he had a leadership role on that team.

I honestly think they were all swinging with each other. They were doing what rich, famous, good looking millionaires would do, probably a of blow along with it. Then I imagine Parker and Erin started banging on the side and that’s when the blew up
