Right on cue

"Quickly, a joke about Kawhi's shoes since we can't taunt his best record in the league"

[JakeCuenca]

Bad move by Dennis but they're like 18-4 and Leonard is posting career highs in Rebounds, Assists and hes ptobably going to post career high in points too.

I'm sure hes ok.

Obviously if he gets rid of dennis..he will be much better.

Breaking news...Kawhi’s sister just announced as new Social Media Director for New Balances Shoe Division.

[sananspursfan21]

So the jelly’s gonna be used for shoes now????

[skin27]

Lol new balance don’t make basketball shoes.. it’s interesting how kawhi shoes will look like

[rasuo214]

Bonner approves

[wolf754life]

Autistic Claw boy gets off knowing he killed off the Spurs and ended their play off streak once and for all.

[Rusty]

Does this mean he’s staying in Toronto? I thought Uncle D had a grand master plan for a 200 million shoe deal waiting in LA

[DPG21920]

Kawhi is offered 22M/4 years by Jordan. They say that’s embarrassing and blame SA for lack of exposure. He then goes to a big market & signs with new balance for the same money Jordan offered.


Ok.

[DJR210]

Old man shoes

Should have just signed with Saucony

[DJR210]

Spokesman who doesn't speak

[TDMVPDPOY]

dunno about america market for NB, but in europe and down here its very popular if u cant afford nike/adidas, depends on what shoes u buying for what purpose...trainers are popular since it fits in every household budget... unlike chinese brands or puma

[UZER]

Kawhi could’ve been a silent swag spokesman for Jordan brand. Could’ve done a whole “my game does the talking” campaign. The anti-superstar.

But then he went and opened his mouth and ended up with NB.

Ok.

Where are you seeing that, all I've seen is that it would be more than the Jordan deal.

[tb5]

Instead of N, those shoes should have the letter K on them because he only thinks about himself...K for Kawhitter of course! He owes Spurs fans an apology...we will probably never see it.

Ok.

Uncle Dennis knows what he's doing. Period.

Raptors offered 18-4 while the Spurs offered an embarrassing 10-11

New Balance

[toki9]

In 2017, US athletic footwear market by brand was: Nike (35.6%), Jordan/Nike (15.7%), Adidas (11.4%), Skechers (4.7%), New Balance (3.5%), Converse/Nike (3.5%) and Under Armour (2.5%).

By total revenue, Nike had $34.4 Billion, then Adidas at $24 billion, Puma and Under Armour at $5 billion each and then New Balance at $4.5 billion.

So, surprisingly, New Balance as company is close to Under Armour.

All those coaches, training staff, ball boys need shoes too.

Kawhi needs to realize his uncle is in it for himself or else hes going to destory the rest of his career.

That boat has long passed. Kawhi is on this scammed by family broke by 40 ride for the long haul.

[gospursgojas]

LOL Kawhitter walking around in socks because his handlers mismanaged an already ty shoe deal. How classic.

This. Sadly, hilariously this. I bet I’m not even far from the truth with this happening due to something like-

Uncle: Kawhi wear dees when you go out for your presser

Kawhi: mute

Other leech from Kawhi’s group: no it’s not official. Is it?

Uncle: Didn’t that guy DM you on insta?

Leech: He said he’d fax it over. Did you plug it in?

Kawhi: mute

Uncle: Go out in socks for now. We wanna look like professional.

Kawhi: (begins weird laugh)

Uncle: no not now Kawhi

Kawhi: mute

It’s mismanaging their way to walking to arena for all star game all over again.

Exactly. Seriously, how much of this guy's money will be embezzled by the time all is said and done? Will he be begging for Wing Stop endorsement deals when he's 50?

There is no logic in Dennis. I don't think he understands basketball culture at all. I'm the biggest kawhi stan out there, but a lotnof what Dennis is doing this year has been comical.

Resting back to backs - The dude is playing 36 when its not back to back. There's practiclly no reason why he should resting this early other than the dumb idea "less games, less chance of injury. He is practiclly ruining any chance of Kawhi making a name for himself just to secure his commision in the max deal.

New Balance Signing - Even if the reports of 5 mill a year is innacurate, this isnt the brand that will help leonard with his own brand.

The raptors have a legit chance of making the NBA finals even with kawhi at 80%, there is no reason to sign these deals now other than business incompetence.

Kawhi needs to realize his uncle is in it for himself or else hes going to destory the rest of his career.

Barring a return to 2016-2017 physical form, then I would say it is too late. He'll still be great, very good or good for a while (maybe 5 or 6 years) but I think the Spurs' diagnosis was accurate.

I also think Milwaukee, Philadelphia and Boston (if they can turn their offense around) are better occupied for a run to the Finals. A one star team with a bunch of overachieving role players ain't winning a le in the NBA in 2018 - '19.
