Yeah, lame as . Tbh.
Wow. What a meltdown.
Yeah, lame as . Tbh.
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
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.
today's asswiper
...laughing at an always triggered cliff jumper.![]()
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.
No use arguing with Kafluffers. Kawitter can do no wrong in their eyes.
Look at his post history youngin.
And calling someone a got is a good insult? Young ppl obviously cant either
Lol. Look at your post history loser ha.
Just imagine people here aren't making threads about him/mentioning him every day...I wouldn't have to post his stuff.![]()
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.
No. I truly believe what I posted.
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...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.
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.

Does Crusty claim to be Native American?
He's probably as Native American as his hero Elizabeth Warren.
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
Dat backhanded insult![]()
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.
Got it
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.So again, I say when Kawhi leaves, I've proved my point beyond all dispute.
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.
I have a favorite team since I can remember...Spursa detailed and nuanced article complete with stats and video clips![]()
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.
I post about the Spurs and other players too. In fact, when no one mentions Kawhi I post only Spurs stuff.Like, if you are a Spurs fan, on a Spurs site, where is any level of effort for the Spurs?

About time.
Agree with you on this. I guess booing him will be therapeutic for most fans. After that, people should move on...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.
MOVE ON.
I'll give you credit you were the one asking us to stop talking Kawhi and focus on the Spurs.
