Parker: Leonard Owes thanks to Duncan, Bowen for Defensive Awards

[dabom]

So are you admitting that his (parkers) statement has no meaning? Or are you saying that when taken in context the meaning is clear?

I'm saying parker had more than one sentence in which he described his view point.

[z0sa]

Lol @ all the low iq Parker haters showing up en masse and looking exceedingly stupid, per the usual.

[313]

A couple things. 1 Why didn't anyone invite me to the "apo thread start revoked" party?

Had no idea but I knew something was different lately.

[K...]

God man, well what's his viewpoint?

[cascaders]

i hope tony's comment dosent get to leonard, like how it got to danny green.. urgh..

[ElNono]

No comment.

[dabom]

God man, well what's his viewpoint?

How about you read the first post brah.

[Arcadian]

He's not suggesting that

Hes sayig Tim and Bowen didn't win the award but they put the Spurs on the map, and without them the Spurs would still be irrelevant and ignored by the media.

That's not true either, though. Kawhi himself would have put the Spurs on the map.

[GSH]

Really starting to think there are too many KOFs on this board. Just to think it was just CoK followers, but it's clearly beyond that for some.

I don't know what a KOF is, but there are definitely some followers in this thread.

He is wrong. Hes basically saying kawhi wouldnt win dpoy if not for those two. He doesnt have to thank anyone. Hes dpoy even if he played with the degrassi sharks.

So Porker, why dont you just plug yourself into your ass, then yourself in the toilet and then after that flush yourself because you are the very definition of a pieace of .

Your takes are always so witty and intelligent. This deserves much more attention. You should go ahead and start a new thread for it.

[K...]

How about you read the first post brah.

I did and i told you my interpretation. He did a pivot, using a question about Leonard to talk about bowen and duncan. Your replies were (lol emoticon) and (parker should thank Leonard for carrying his weak ass) both comments do not address the quote or indicate you read the quote.

This is TP's answer to the question: "So, who's better:Bruce or Kawhi ?"

TP starts talking about Kawhi at 2:05.

[K...]

It's funny because Manu was more insulting to Leonard with the Bruce = Leonard call.

[Chinook]

I don't know what a KOF is

Kawhi-Only Fans comes from Clutch Fans and Lin-Only Fans that flooded them when Jeremy was on their roster.

[sprrs]

What's funny is that Kawhi probably didn't read into this half as much as you guys are, and doesn't give a crap.

Stupid is committing to a lifestyle where you have no real ideas of your own so you look for jealous mental midgets with axes to grind to follow.

I am not even sure you're a spurs fan, but if you actually followed the team in the 90s and before you'd realize no one in the media really gives a about the Spurs. Christ look at the bull stern and the networks have pulled over the years. The last 3 years ago, they still called us the boring old Spurs.

What Parker was saying was very simple. 10 years ago Kawai would have lost the award to green. The work of TD, Bowen, etc helped the Spurs overcome the stigma

you and the aunt er and his alts beat a boring drum to death. It's pathetic, there is nothing insightful or cutting edge about your pathetic schtick. A bullet is the solution, just do it, all of you.

I'm on my phone but I can already tell you are a low IQ poster.

Read my conversation with Brazil...

[Kawhitstorm]

His point of view obviously is that without Spurs gaining respect thanks to dudes like Bowen and Tim, they would have given the trophy to Raymond... not sure why you are mad because this the truth... this happened to Tim several times.

It really has nothing to do w/ "respect": Camby played for the Nuggets, a franchise that couldn't get past the 1st rd, when he won it.

This is the age of advanced metrics where counting stats aren't the end all, be all; Kyle Kover became an all-star thanks to advanced metric.

Right on schedule

[dabom]

GSH got me.

[Clipper Nation]

Porker is a pathetic fat got. Last I checked, Rique owes thanks to Speedy Claxton, Beno Udrih, Cory Joseph, and MVPatty Mills for bailing his disgustingly obese ass out over and over again.

[K...]

This team wasn't a defensive team before Kawhi. I'm not talking about prime Duncan either. Not Tiago or Green or Duncan has contributed as much as Kawhi.

Dude is an enigma of a player. Can play on the ball and off the ball on both ends.

Wholly ....did you say Duncan has not contributed as much on defense as kawhi? That's full satanic Mr Choo Choo engineer. 1999,2005 were lights out defenses. 2003 was no slouch. He's not even an enigma, it's his size that makes him effective.

Exactly.

It is all on the advacement of advanced stat. Not because of what Bowen and Duncan didnt win so his comment is re ed as .

Anyone who actually thinks Tony has a point must have mild tumor on his brain. Robinson won a DPOY before the spurs even won a ring.

10 years ago guys like Deandre and Whiteside would have won DPOY. Yes Bowen and TD helped pave the way for the Spurs but ultimately it comes down to the era Kawhi is playing in where there is a greater emphasis on advanced stats instead of common stats like blocks and steals. As well as the shift towards small ball and the lack of quality bigs.

I get what Parker meant that Bowen and TD were deserving to win DPOY and they helped build a championship and defensive culture that should be recognized and not overlooked but Kawhi still earned the award. The Finals helped put Kawhi on the map and then the Warrior games gave him the boost to steal it from Draymond.

[YGWHI]

And with the way Kawhi markets himself, it's very possible that Draymond and DeAndre get DPOY awards over him in the future.

Kawhi's so good at marketing himself off court. He doesn't need to say much, just one or two things that people love.

Remember what happened when the ESPN guy wrote about Kawhi's wings coupons? People got crazy falling in love with him.

Also, Kawhi has a ton of non-Spurs fans. That's why he had more All-Star votes than Dray, he was the first Spurs player to get a starter-spot since Tim.

That's why people call some reporters out when they want to talk about him. Remember the "I don't do the media" issue and how bad it ended for the Chicago old man?

People love him because of his stoic demeanor, like he's the second coming of Tim Duncan personality...now, he has his own Klaw-logo merchandise with Jordan.

People and other players call him like the Silent Assassin...Being calm and almost without any emotion is Kawhi's business. And he knows it, better than anyone else.
