The uncharitable interpretation here is KAT is trying to act like the leader and hero. The charitable interpretation is he’s accepted a new role in the offense and recognizes Ant should be the primary playmaker. I think the fan response is going to be Rorschach test for how fans feel about Kat.
Fans want KAT to be 2 option, KAT says quote about being willing to be 2 option, Fan interpretation: Selfish player…. Like wtf?
The fans also want KAT to learn how to seal smaller players properly in the post.
Dude is always self mythologizing.
Ant is better than you.
It isn’t a sacrifice to do your job and play your role.
Having a second major offensive threat is also great for ANTs development
He’s a third or fourth option on a title contender. (Similar to Wiggins).
KAT is number 2. Stinky!
wish he would have given up all of those 3’s he kept bricking…
This just isn’t the right mindset. Play as a team, take good shots, and stop thinking about it in terms of shot volume. Hard to check the ego at the door when reporters constantly bring this shit up.
So his trash playoff performance was on purpose for ant to be a first option
KAT always says a lot of words and rarely follows it up with anything. If he isn’t going to play like a supermax player he needs to learn to park himself at the 3 and shoot better because that would be the best thing for Ant
Kat has always been the guy to put teammates before himself in game even when those teammates don’t belong in the nba and he’s by a landslide the best player
I’m confused. Aren’t people saying this is Ant’s team now? Kats saying he wants Ant to be 1a but now its a bad reflection on Kat… for trying to make it Ants team 😪
There’s a lot of points in the paint he missed out on standing on the 3 Point Line.
AG and 35 Year Old Jeff Green couldn’t handle him.
Fouls just kept him outta the paint because the mismatch was so raw.
Glad KAT seems to be accepting of the Robin role on offense to ANT’s batman. Doesnt get enough credit for deferring to ANT not only this year but last year in the playoffs. I still think the ANT/KAT duo is a good fit offensively just would like both of them to set each other up more often.
This guy 🙄
I love Kat and his loyalty to MN, regardless of how he’s done with the teams he’s had, this is by far the best one, and I really hope we don’t trade him away this summer. Having him as a #2 behind ant could be lethal when he finds his mojo next year.
KAT always says the right things, but then fails to deliver said thing on court.
I genuinely believe he believes everything he says, but has an issue when he’s trying to put it to practice.
KAT has supermax until 2028. Of course he is more than glad to take a backseat
He’s been inadvertently doing it by being a foul machine.
