Coach Nick: Kawhi isn't a superstar and here is the reason...

[xellos88330]

There is a difference between a marketing superstar and a basketball superstar. Basketball superstar is a phenomenal basketball talent. A marketing superstar is one that plays basketball to sell .

The problem is fans have conflated the terms "superstar" with "all star" as if "super star" is the next level from "all star" but it's not even related (see Carmelo Anthony), and if you misuse something long enough eventually it becomes the norm (See even people like Trey Gowdy saying "this begs the question"). Super-star" is a celebrity term, and to be a celebrity you have to be recognizable by face and name to a lot of people. Kawhi isn't recognizable to most people.

I think coach Nick is being pedantic. Kawhi is for sure a star in the NBA. He's just not a star outside of it. He doesn't have a high profile, intentionally too I might add.

I told you nick Loves Kawhi

He's just been frustraated lately with Casuals consistently attacking him. Most of which are Counting stats casuals alaWestbrook fan.

It's criminal nowadys to prop up spurs players and to a lesser extent warrior players. People are just stupid

I loved his tweet from earlier that went something like "if you told someone in the 90's NBA that the MVP's team won only 48 games, they'd laugh you off the line..."

I bet the horsemeat connoisseurs around here love him, seems he hates Russ and OKC more than STers love coming here to cry a about slights, or eating horse meat.
