Funny thing is you could see Porker doing the pretend Kobe leadership style all season, putting his hands on a teammate's shoulder and giving him an unsolicited and unwanted talking to; very contrived for appearances.
Spurs aren't looking too hot right now. I don't think she needs too

The only thing Parker was a leader in was points, assists, and wins.
He is taking the same number of shots he took with us...
Patty Mills team leader of the Spurs.
Timmy Duncan the player RIP.
And Kwa thanks for contributing heavily to 2014 Championship and giving it your best (leading to up 20) vs the Golden gots.
Pop without MVPs and GOAT support players is not going to be pretty.
Yea... teams like the bulls... What happened when they played teams with winning records when Kawhi sat? Spurs won't games without Timmy in... That means we were better without him?
So Kobe never missed games? Lmfao! Revisionist history at it's best
He brought defense and points and he was a dog when he was with us. He was a pit bull going after that ball. He made people scared to dribble against him and teams scared to give the ball to their best player. BUT I just don't like the idea of paying a player that much money and that much percentage of our cap unless he's a Top 10 player all time or he's a Top 3 player in the game today and also an iron man who plays in at least 75 games a year and sucks up and plays when hurt (injured is different than hurt). And Kawhi was never that to me. We won a lot of games in the regular season and then he choked in the playoffs. You can say it's growing pains, but we only made one conference finals with him and that isn't worth $43 million. Maybe he can lead a team to a championship but I just dont think that he can. I don't mind eating crow if he leads the Raptors to a chip, but if he plays for the Clippers he will never win with them and he will spend the rest of his career proving me right.
Kobe has 5 seasons of 80+ games. 4 of them he played all 82 games. He has 4 more seasons of playing 77 or more games. Kawhi has ZERO seasons of playing 77 or more games. His career high is 74 and then a whole lot of 60's. Kobe played hurt, he got injured like everyone else but the man played hurt. There's nothing revisionist about it. It's just more evidence that you don't actually follow basketball.
all that Kawhi noise. What's even more obvious now is that Patty's never getting traded. I'll quote this any time Patty's included in a wishful trade scenario.

"He's like our inspiration, he's an ultimate warrior, gives everything he's got all the time," Popovich said of Mills on Saturday, via CBS Sports. "He feels responsible to everybody, he's always pumping everybody else up. He's just a wonderful teammate and a huge part of our program."

Thha culture though!! You need champions like mill,gasol and belli
If he is/was a leader, he's pretty ty at it...
Considering that the Spurs probably win a championship (post-Duncan) that year if Kawhi doesn't get injured, I'd say he was good enough at least for that season.
Sounds like when someone asks you a question and you're taken by surprise-- so you're not sure how to answer and you throw out a bunch of politically correct just so you won't come off sounding like a
This.
The hate coming out from Spurfan is just saltiness.
You don't have to respect his bailing, but to say he didn't kick ass when here is pathetic.
"just talking about the rabbits... you know.. I mean... rabbits. just petting them" -Kawhi
It's funny because the guys saying it, comparing Kawhi's leadership to Tim's were POP and his teammates, not "fanboys".
"Leonard has emerged this season a team leader. Of all the many internal developments that are taking place within the Spurs ecosystem, this may be the most important.
"He’s not just doing it by example anymore," Spurs guard Danny Green told me. "He’s leading by action."
"Kawhi had such size and we thought he had the foot speed to move from an inside player to the three position. So we decided to roll the bones and found out that he’s got the same at ude that Tim Duncan had. He comes early, he stays late, he wants to be great. He’s just a sponge. Pop said"

"He's not gonna be as vocal as Patty Mills. That's not who he is," Popovich said. "He's not Avery Johnson. He does it differently. He's a little bit more like Timmy [Duncan]. He's gonna lead by example. He's gonna stay after practice, come early to practice, practice hard while he's here. That will probably be his major type of leadership, just like it was Timmy's. But after that, he's talking to people a whole lot more. And I do want him to communicate on the floor more and more, all the time."

Picked up his first career regular season technical. Clearly failing outside of the Spurs system.
Kawhi had a serious response. A good one too.
Pop is clearly salty. He was saying otherwise about leonard before he left. You can bet Janaru and feb against raps is RC and Pops finals.
Not sure if it's Spurs' negative record, Spurs' losing touch with media, the questions about how Pop lost a top player like Kawhi, or that nonsense about Spurs "mafia" and all, but most national media remember in all articles that Pop...didn't say the same thing two years ago about this player.
Just two seasons ago, Popovich praised Leonard's quiet, do-as-I-do-leadership, and felt he was on the same path as Tim Duncan.

Like I said, Pops' tears are real..

Also, Calling Aldridge a team leader for completely checking out in half his games, spending half his time complaining about not getting enough touches and ultimately demandinbg a trade. Is that what leaders do? Paddy Millls might be an emotional or spritual leader but asking him to play a little defense is a foreign concept. Half the time, he's completely out of position to even make a play defensively. How can one be a team leader when they can't even do what they're being asked of?
Shots fired from Kawhi:
