Is kawhi the biggest Star in the league? No Durant, Curry losing games, LeBron could come back if the Lakers make the playoffs but it seems like a shift has occurred. I never thought kawhi and his insular gang could be marketed as a star but it's almost he's the MVP by default.
I guess there's harden and giannis. But they both feel knocked down a bit. The downfall of Eastern conf LeBron and the warriors is really going to destroy some naratives of stars who can't win in the void of power house teams.
Timing is everything, and Kawhi winning the le with the Raps last year added to the perfect storm for his fame to rise. Durant and/or Thompson don't get hurt, the narrative changes. A lot of things had to fall right for this to all materialize for Kawhi, but it has...so good for him I suppose.
just look at nba.com ... the highlight videos on league pass ... he is the media focus right now
I can guarantee that if he plays 60 games again, he has zero chance at MVP.
That's what Toronto thought, too. Didn't happen. If he's STILL sitting out back to backs, it's the new norm for him, and will continue. I would think that if he were to play B2Bs, early in the season when he's freshly off rest would be better than later in the season.
Neph is only committed to LAC for 2 years. He and his group call the shots about when he plays - Just like last year.
He and his group have become as power hungry as any "posse/team/group" I've seen in the NBA. And technically, he pulled this with the Spurs here first (deciding when to play).
ing pathetic, especially when you realize he's never, ever been a heavy minutes player in his career. I know they are flying high and have huge expectations for once, but I wonder if LAC will eventually have buyer's remorse?
This dude is a clown
You’d take him in a heartbeat if you could work it.
Nope. Like Lonzo and LaVar, I wouldn't want him because of his Uncle Fester.
He's a good talent, but not worth the headache.
Boiled down: I'm good with where my Lakers are without Kiwi.
Maybe The Group should trademark Load Management and use that to sell his clothing line.
Awesome
Now there's something Nike will let him have.
ing asshole saving himself for us.
I actually believe the Spurs will beat them. Pop >>>> Doc tbh.ing asshole saving himself for us.
We losing by 20+ son.
3 games into the season and he needs a rest SMH..
He’ll win them a chip and as the buyer you couldn’t give a giant size buffalo crap about buyers remorse if he and Uncle Denny walk once the LOB is in the cabinet. Good luck to the Clippers.
A breath away from going down 3-0 to the Bucks
7 game series win against the 76ers
Then finals against a team with their best player out and another severely limited.
This brings up the question that has never been answered- what is his diagnosis? Why is he still limited after 2 years for a non-surgical injury?
Also, the whole story about (verified by several sources ) of going to multiple doctors...
I agree with that video. Also you could tell kawhi learned some moves n passing from ginobilly and tp. That spin move he did on Durant in the 2014 wcf was parkeresqe.
Kawhi's top of the 3 point line pick n roll game and his triple threat stance is very ginobliesqe is you really start paying attention to the way he mixes up his game. So far I've seen kawhi mimic Jordans game in the post, Duncan moves, Kobes, Gino's, Parker's. Those are the main ones I can think of. Kawhi is a good student of the game.
Problem is, you can't wear their shoes on back-to-back days.
Skip officially forgives Nephew
You know he's gonna go off tonight after what happened here last year with the Raps.ing asshole saving himself for us.
Jumping the bandwagon. What a deuce
I don't give a . He almost lost both games to us last year, and should have. He's got no room to complain about the Spurs and he knows what a he and his group have been. White did a great job on him, and I expect that to continue. I'd also love to shove resting him in Utah down Doc's throat.
