    The lack of basketball knowledge and revisionist history by some posters is astounding. Yes LA has his warts not gonna defend some of the he does. However when people say he's a career loser I stop and think that's BS. His tenure withe the Spurs he had one bad season and one bad post season. You kill Lamarcus for that it's justified it's just that the same people who kill LA for his post season failures loved Kawhi. Now if it's true that Kawhi is a much better player than LA whys it that he's choked worse than LA in the playoffs. This dude the bed 2 consecutive years in the playoffs but y'all still swallowed his . I still say there would be no LA in San Antonio if Kawhi didn't let Matt Barnes sodomize him in 2015. Then the next year Andre Roberson Anally raped the guy. So yes LA has been inconsistent but I have one year of him putting this team on his back when it should have been in the lottery.
    U are comparing a Kawhi that was young and budding to a guy who is in his prime? Aldridge not only choked, he completely disappeared IN HIS PRIME! Kawhi was never supposed to be a star... He wasn't the guy carrying the franchise until he actually hit his prime in 2017...and he was statistically the clutches player in the league that year, and was having the best postseason in the league before he went down

    I’m not one to tell people (unless it’s about Kawhi) how to feel. But OP is correct and SA fans are way to hard on LMA. He’s like 99% of stars other than Lebron/Curry; flawed.

    He wasn’t always in the best of shape. He’s not Lebron. He asked for a trade. Those are all valid complaints. But stepping back it’s nitpicking.

    He chose SA when no other star FA (that wasn’t already on the team) really did. He didn’t cause issues in the community or with the team. He aired his grievances professionally and was open to feedback and stuck with the team in what turned out to be one of the darkest times ever (new generation). He also has proven his value and helped keep SA more than relevant (we got to a WCF with him which many didn’t think possible post Tim).

    Beyond that he’s actually worked on his game; came in not known at all for defense and now? He’s had some legit sustained impact on that end.

    He has not gone to the media. He kept things in house and even flawed he’s impacted winning more than many all stars. So in that light? Yeah - he’s someone that should be appreciated. Every star, whether a true star or fringe (like the VAST MAJORITY of people called stars) has flaws.

    Russ. Harden. AD. List goes on and can call them all overrated chokers based on the LMA criteria.
    Professional? Aldridge always pouts on the court... And he requested a trade and didn't give a reason UNTIL he couldn't be traded and HAD to work it out... And the issue was he wanted to shoot more! Wtf?

    Yeah. If you think LMA was unprofessional then that has to mean Kawhi needed to be sued for breach of contract for how he acted.

    It’s difficult to call anything a barometer in the west. It’s the most parity I’ve ever seen personally.
    Agreed, but you can't deny the stretch has been positive, and LMA is looking pretty good. By barometer I meant for LMA because of his inconsistent play on the road. I'm thinking (more like praying) maybe he really is hitting his stride.

    Yeah. If you think LMA was unprofessional then that has to mean Kawhi needed to be sued for breach of contract for how he acted.
    No use arguing with Kafluffers. Kawitter can do no wrong in their eyes.

    He's still a great basketball player and I watch Raptors games, but it's very hard to justify his behavior last season.
    I never said he handled it well, never justify his behavior nor his camp's.

    But OP says he has doubts about the best player between Kawhi and LMA...This is not even a question and I find his post very stupid.

    You're wrong and you know it.
    No. I truly believe what I posted.

    But I'll go out on a limb here to show you when I'll be officially able to prove you wrong. Please make sure to pay special attention because if you'll recall, all the criticisms below were heard about the Spurs.

    Next offseason, he's going to bolt for LA.

    Which means the following: he's going to leave a franchise that is CHAMPIONSHIP quality now; they won 59 games last year and will probably match that this year so his TEAM is really good; they are young and athletic, not full of aging vets that hold team meetings and demand accountability from him; he's in a world class city not some hole backwater (the insinuation his group let out) where he can market himself (recall his new shoe deal); he's got a very easy path to the conference finals in the Eastern Conference each year where he can market himself even more; he's the clear leader of the team (no co-leader LMA type issues for example); he has a young, relatively inexperienced coach that kisses his ass (no demanding meanie like Pop); he's getting lots of personal recognition that he didn't get in SA; he's not being forced to play by a mean front office and bad doctors that belittle him publicly -- in fact, they appear to kiss his ass and demur to everyone of his wishes....

    When he leaves the Raptors this offseason, there can be ZERO doubt what he did to the Spurs last year. None. And recall that as recently as like a week ago, his people were leaking that he was still leaning on going to LA next year. They're not going to do to them what he did to the Spurs because he's an unrestricted free agent so there's no need to power play them.

    that cat.
    1-I doubt the Raptors are championship quality. I still thinks that C's and Bucks are better...Esp Bucks with way better 3-point shooters, faster and younger guards that can outplay Raptors' guards...

    2-Kawhi will leave Raptors for his family, esp. his daughter.
    He wants his daughter to grow up close to his fam's love, being close with grandma/aunties/uncles/cousins....

    It's pretty obvious that the best for Kawhi's career is staying on a top team but he already has said he can't be selfish, he has to do what's the best for his daughter.

    The compass tug of the magnetic North vs. the tug of a 2-year-old on his pinky.

    “She’s young, she doesn’t have too much say so,” Leonard says of Kaliyah, who turns 3 in July. “But I’m not just living for myself any more. I try to make the right decisions for her and for her future, thinking about when she’s 13 and I’m not playing any more: Did I make the right decision for myself and for her, or did I just make it for myself being selfish? That’s something different, thinking about her and what she needs in the long run.”

    It complicates what for purely basketball reasons might be a slam dunk: a welcome, winning situation with an easier path to the NBA Finals than in a rugged Western Conference that includes the Warriors, LeBron James on the Lakers, Russell Westbrook in Oklahoma City, James Harden in Houston, Damian Lillard in Portland, a rising Denver Nuggets team and whatever Popovich has brewing in San Antonio. Even the Sacramento Kings are decent.

    Leonard’s family is from the Inland Empire. His girlfriend and Kaliyah’s mother, Kishele Shipley, also grew up in Southern California and attended San Diego State.

    No one posts more about Kawhi than you. You aren’t a spurs fan. That’s ok. It’s just weird to pretend when you don’t have to. We would like you just the same if you just be who you are without the facade

    Lol was not an insult. I actually like the poster and have no issues with anything they post other than the weird facade. Zero effort goes into posting about the Spurs or their players, but the second someone says something about Kawhi here comes a detailed and nuanced article complete with stats and video clips

    Like, if you are a Spurs fan, on a Spurs site, where is any level of effort for the Spurs?

    Yeah, I read that already. Not sure why you think that helps your defense of him. It only proves my point of his s baggery. Homeboy wanted out of SA last year. And rather than just saying that, he, through his representation, trashed the front office, coach Pop, his teammates, the city, and fans. He's a .

    As I noted in the above post, instead of doing what LaMarcus did (quietly and honorably) going to Pop and saying he wanted to be traded for X, Y, or Z, they created a disreputable disaster for themselves and were nasty about it unnecessarily.

    So again, I say when Kawhi leaves, I've proved my point beyond all dispute. Everything his side criticized about the Spurs (coaches, players, front office) and SA, he is not having with the Raptors and in Toronto.

    Deal with it...your boy is a punk ass liar.

    I think he has the worst representatives in the league but never heard them nor their media guys like Jabari Young/Carter talk about the fans/the city.

    Only Carter said SA is a small market but that's not trashing the city. Even reporters that love the Spurs would agree that SA is a small market.


    Anyway, your point is that Kawhi's quad wasn't injured at all.
    ESPN/Woj & Ramona said the Spurs medical staff diagnosed him with degenerative tendinopathy while his camp said he had quad's ossification.
    I wouldn't deny an injury when both sides talked about one.

    Ahh, but you're forgetting stuff. It went beyond the simple small market stuff you hear about other markets.

    There were lots of jabs through his mouthpiece (Carter) about not getting shoe deals because of where he was at. That he wasn't getting the shine he deserved. That the city was too small for him and that he felt stifled going out around town. There were jabs and uppercuts about SA and the fans, and there was stuff that was supposedly leaked by his agent, and uncle's business partner that went beyond that. There was a full out slime job done against the city, the fans, and the organization as a whole.

    And btw, ultimately, he himself ed the fans by letting them down. By not playing, not showing up, not sitting on the bench, not doing what was expected of him in this town, he gave us all the big middle finger. And he's got big fingers. We deserved better because we would have made him a God here had he given us the chance.

    Either way, this town will start getting over it on January 3rd. I'll be there to give him a piece of my mind with 17,500 others. After that (and maybe the game in Toronto) he can off to whichever team he and his representation have been planning on going for 2+ years.

    Perhaps then, you can move on to stanning that team then too.

    I was following and rooting for the Spus way before the Spurs traded for Kawhi. Many years before. Some people here know that's true.

    a detailed and nuanced article complete with stats and video clips
    I have a favorite team since I can remember...Spurs

    I have a 2nd team since Marc/Conley together...Grizz

    I have a favorite player since 2012...Kawhi.

    I guess what you don't get is that I love basketball and really enjoy Kawhi's game. It's not about him, it's about his game.

    For 5-10' a game I can see some of MJ in him...the same moves...Who wouldn't love to watch it

    If he leaves, quits, whatever... I don't care. Other great players left their teams too. Again I don't care. I wanna watch great basketball, great games, great teams and great players.
    Not sure why this is so hard to understand.

    Like, if you are a Spurs fan, on a Spurs site, where is any level of effort for the Spurs?
    I post about the Spurs and other players too. In fact, when no one mentions Kawhi I post only Spurs stuff.

    Agree with you on this. I guess booing him will be therapeutic for most fans. After that, people should move on...
