Hey, I'm not the one using Kawhi as an excuse to give this guy a pass.
I'm simply responding to the argument that he got out of the way. Not only he did not, he turned around and demanded a bigger role.
That was a fair answer, and I don't necessarily disagree with it. I think nephew baggery does overshadow LMA's chokes, and that's just not right, IMVHO.
Turns out you weren't getting paid what he was getting paid, nor you had the role he had in that team, so cool story about your feels, but completely immaterial to the fact that he shriveled and quit, tbh.
Nothing personal, I'm ok with you quitting on the Spurs, I'm not ok with him quitting on the team.
You can drag Horry, Fisher, the whole '96 Bulls team if you want too (why not?), and still doesn't contradict a word I said. In the overtime for that game, LMA missed 2 freethrows, his only shot, and had two turnovers. He got bailed out by Danny Green and Manu. Again, demands bigger role, shrinks when it matters.
Demanded to be paid and have the role of a leader, never acted like one.
Totally agree with that. I got spoiled, I admit it. Then again, that makes me reflect on divas like LMA. Don't forget he didn't start his act here on the Spurs. When he left Portland, like this was already being written:

He always wanted to be presented as The Man, but he never assumed the responsibility that came with it.
