      Absolutely! With 7 seasons playing 80+ games, he's one of the most durable baller. They say injury are higher cause the pace is faster now, but there's nobody out there playing with his pace & intensity, they just need to hit the weight. It's just higher income and load managing has made players spoiled and pampered.

      I feel like a lot of people could see it coming. It’s hard to believe they were sitting that many games and not losing some of their conditioning/durability. Paul George may just be unfortunate timing but kawhi seems to be hurting from the load management more than anything. He’s struggled to play multiple games without soreness or minor injury all year

    Kawhi Leonard when healthy is arguably the most underrated all star in the league. He completely can take over games is an unreal defender and my favorite part about him is he dominates and doesn't run his mouth. He doesn't have to showboat like curry every time he makes a 3. He's all around a STUD. I hate when health comes into conversation when talking about players in general like this.

    Kawhi just doesn't love the game as much as his talent suggests he might. He obviously has a chornic knee issue which causes it to flare up after intense games but part of that is about pushing through, and pain tolerance like Perk said. He rests enough with load management during the season, so its definitely not exhaustion or too many miles on his legs etc

      Kawhi squandered Tony and Manu's last season together with the ridiculous stuff he pulled, purposefully tanked his trade value and trashed the organization and the medical staff on the way out. He looked so great in 2019 because he wanted us to pay him $17 million to rehab in 2018 and then go win a title with someone else. #2 might go in the rafters someday, but not with his name on it.
      Wholeheartedly agree though, ultimately we're better off in the long run. Ironically, we would have supported him throughout this rough part of his career, just not for the supermax. We absolutely loved that dude, introverted superstars who just care about ball and being a good teammate and shun the limelight are our bread and butter. He wanted all the money anyway even if he wasn't reliable, regardless of what it did to a franchise. You're better off too, Raptors fans, might not seem like it now but it was never going to be that good again.

    • @abi2512
      @abi2512 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      that's besides the point. it was a 5 point game without Kawhi and PG, so Clippers have enough depth. the problem is that the Clippers trusted Kawhi to take them to the promised land and it has not happened. Kawhi had an awesome run with the Raps and Clippers thought he could replicate that again. However more was expected from Kawhi, than just what he did for the Raps. Clippers literally blew up their future in SGA(who's better than Kawhi and Pg combined right now). Raps didn't need Kawhi to lead cos they already had a culture in place. Clippers didn't. They can't blow up this core yet because they don't have draft picks and they won't win in the following years cos the younger teams are coming up real fast. This season is their best chance for Clippers to win, but with Kawhi as their leader i doubt it. if Clippers really want another star, sign Kyrie, another star player who takes games off whenever. That'll be real entertaining lol.

    The bottom line is, if you can't stay healthy at the end of a long season and excel through the playoffs, you will not win championship rings. Both Lebron and Steph are older now, but have displayed a remarkable stamina. The difference between a talented player and a superstar is often the issue of being hardy enough to hold up.

    He is one of the very best hoopers I have ever seen when on the floor. Don’t care that much about off the floor. Yes, you need to be a team guy and a pro, but you also need to take care of yourself and your health in a big business. I don’t pretent to know what Kawhi needs to perform - only he knows. I respect that. Still elite. And there is nothing more pro than bringing a Championship to a franchise who never had one before. Let’s give this guy a break. He is the one suffering the most.

    I feel so bad for Steve he built a good franchise and they’re just always one piece away and it fails at the last second because of one person that must hurt the most

      Everyone knows both of their star players injury history. They took a big risk going with those two as their centerpieces.
