and there's no doubt that he's resenting the team not standing up for him...
the spurs could have avoided all this if they just ruled him out for the season if that's the indication they've been getting
Ouch. Message to Uncle...turn Kawhi's representation back to the professionals.
Kawhi is getting terrible advice from his "group." Scottie's opinion carries real weight here.
Kawhi needs to recall he is a professional entertainer. Yes, fans respect personality differences (see Tim Duncan, and Kawhi himself), but there needs to be some level of reassurance that those who claim the mantle of representing a city actually want to continue a relationship with that city and its fans. You don't do that by silence and ambiguity.
Who? Some old bum trying to stay relevant?
But you don't know if Kawhi wanted to be ruled out or not. If he wasn't coming back, he's the one that needed to say it when he took his care out of the team's hand and put it in his own. For all you know, the Spurs would have ruled him out and then Kawhi would've been mad because he was trying to make a comeback and felt that they were dismissing his rehab efforts. While I'm sure that if you dig in, there is blame to go around, most of the lack of communication is on Kawhi and his inexperienced Uncle who is ruining Kawhi's market value by the day.
It's hard to do that when you have two aging surefire HOF'ers playing despite having dealt with more serious injuries, with one of them only coming back this season for one last hurrah to go out as Champ like Da Admiral did. And then you have Rudy Gay coming off a career threatening injury, picking the Spurs because he thought they'd be contenders with Kawhi so I can understand the team not being eager to stand up for him tbh.
Who gives a what this beta got thinks? Just because your pussy ass was completely fine under Jordan's shadow doesn't mean Kawhi is fine with craterface taking the credit.
When former players of the magnitude of Scottie are saying these things, how does that affect the marketability of your shoes?
Why should they? They ask for updates from his "group", and all they hear is "he's not ready". You make THEM be the bad guys, you don't take that bullet. If you do rule him out, his "Group" can always say he was ready at some point, but the Spurs closed the door on him. You don't give them that out. They're the ones deciding (or waffling depending on your POV), they SHOULD feel the heat.
Scottie being so hateful and intolerant. --
go easy on them
Kawhi is completely destroying his brand right now..
I actually thought you were talking about Leonard after reading the first sentence.
Love Scottie, one of the most underrated players of all-time, overshadowed by the Jordan propaganda machine, tbh..
It affects it if said player has shared les with the guy trying to market your shoes, tbh.
It doesn't, tbh..kids don't care what Scottie Pippen has to say
Being a snake doesn't affect marketing, look at Durant..Kawhi will be fine in that regard..he'll have to rehabilitate his image with his peers, though, but that won't have much of an effect on his branding if he's still a top-tier player..

Yep, and it's not just Scottie. It's Barkley and everyone else you hand a microphone to and ask about the situation. I don't think Kawhi is blowing this on purpose, though. I think he's getting bad advice from a guy that doesn't have media savvy or understand marketing. He needs to get a real agent quick. He'll get his NBA contract from someone, but he's marketability is taking a hit every time an all-timer calls him out for not playing or explaining himself.Love Scottie, one of the most underrated players of all-time, overshadowed by the Jordan propaganda machine, tbh..
I don't think he ever had marketability to begin with. He's a mute who has zero personality and charisma.
Blaming the Spurs at all here. SA has gone above and beyond to protect Kawhi. The story is out now though. He brought it on himself by leaving the team and leaving everyone else holding the bag.
It’s 100% on Kawhi. Even now, not ruling him out was a favor to Kawhi. It gives them something to point to that “Kawhi is still working hard to come back” to help his image. But there is only so much you can flat out lie after being asked over and over and over when Kawhi looks worse and worse.
They didn’t rule him out because like Kawhi told the media - “he was close”. If you were close and working that hard to come back, the team had his back by not ruling him out and keeping up the appearance that rehab was the reason he was away from the team; we know that is probably not the case fully.
Eh, I don't know. I've got a 14 year old son (who plays basketball) who is a big basketball fan. I brought him up on the Spurs, but of all the players he likes, Kawhi isn't one where he wants to buy his shoes or get his jersey. And that was before this mess. Out of sight, out of mind. But then you hear the echo of players calling him a quitter and a bad teammate. You don't think that has an impact? Look no further than Demarcus Cousins. He's a guy that could've been a super max, but his reputation killed him. It matters when you get labeled, and right now Kawhi is getting labeled. Durant was labeled, but then he won a le. You can't guarantee that Kawhi will ever win another le.It doesn't, tbh..kids don't care what Scottie Pippen has to say
