kawhi aint never gonna see this lol. hes gonna say his tv still has antennas
If a player can't play every game, ( which he should be able to do!) instead of playing 40 minutes and then takinig a night off, he should play 20 min each night.
SAS got a point
I agree the Clippers could be a big threat to the Warriors
bruh why SAS talking like Kawhi is Kyrie Irving 😂 you can’t blame Kawhi for load managing, Spurs did that to him so he’s used to it lmao
Kawhi Leonard to Stephen A, "You gotta stop acting"
About time somewhat was brave enough to say it. .
But lakers got no threats… They will the championship 2023. I got all money in the lakers!!!
Others play injured or hurt why not Leonard???😛😳😳
Cmon keyshawn
It’s wild that for what 4 years the Clippers have been “favorites” or “biggest threats”….. Just for them to be pointless at the end of the year every year 🤣🤣
Nobody is talking about Kawhi putting the Raptors on his back and did it with a bunch of role players. He has a squad now.
All players should show up to work. It’s just super recess for millions. And if u hurt for to long your check goes to next players
kawhi a threat…. yeah a threat to the load management rule. what a joke. whats he gonna play, 25 games this year?
they didnt move much and the owner is filthy rich
LeBron has played all 82 games once in his career.
Yes you have to play 6th man , on the team, until after the half way break after All Star Game.
steven A is absolutely right about the not playing tired!
If Clippers choke this year they need to leave the NBA….tired of the hype for them to lose in embarrassing fashion. These dudes lost a 3-1 lead and nobody cared. They was expected to win it all and we just overlooked it. That's trash. We can't compare him to others or say he's the best in the league and constantly not care.
Key makes no sense here. Stop trying to defend something that's indefensible. KL needs to get out there & play, the load management is junk, I can't stand LeBron, but at least he plays all his games, I'll give him credit for that, he plays.
Lebron played 82 games 1x n 20 seasons .. please stop
Again why is Keyshawn talking basketball 🥴🤯
Forget what Stephen A talking about Derrick Rose tore his ACL for playing in game they were up by 15 20points man its about lastings Lebron built different Kawhi being smart a body take a lot but they need to play just smarter with there minutes
Keyshawn had nothing for this lol and that was an unfair expectation for lebron vs what Leonard does
AGREE…… KAHWI overpayed, but UNDERPLAYED AND NOT GIVING HIS BEST.
If anybody got fresh legs it's John wall Stephen a really cracks me up
🙏🙏Blessings forever
GOD loves y'all too forever tell everyone you know and don't know. Jesus loves y'all too forever. Teach everyone how to see and enjoy their blessings too foreverwi
OHHH LOOK WHO IT IS! KAWHI MR.UNBOTHERED! THE MEDIA CAN RIDICULE KYRIE FOR MISSING GAMES! 😂
Lmao 🤣 this every year! The clippers this the clippers that! THEY ALWAYS FAIL!
Keyshawn is actually just unintelligent
Nobody miss more Games than Anthony day to day Davis and Ben Zoloft Simmons … Until I see those 2 in the same place same game I refuse to believe they aren't the same guy collecting 2 checks..
People forget when Lebron just took 2 weeks off during the season in Cleveland though….
Kawhi is the definition of flying under the radar when people start slandering the game skippers
Why is everyone on ESPN trash now?
Keyshawn know that you have to play to make an impact on your team
It’s simple the best ability is availability kawhi is all world when he on the court it sucks he hasn’t been all world due to injury for like what the last 3-5 years
In 2019 Kawhi did play hurt during his amazing Jordan -esque playoff run. The load management during the season was well worth it for the Raptors and their fans.
Why you so triggered he's not playing when he plays nearly every playoff game and always competes for a chip… Dude actually brought up load management WHEN THEY WON IT ALL…. THATS THE POINT 🤦♂️
i love me some kawhi
Ain’t no favoritism they getting paid millions dude yes sir all games we want to see or why do they get paid night as well get a player off the street and have them play it’s called Professionalism lebron is not the nba u just talking ain’t no way 😂can’t believe he said some of the games don’t matter why is he on espn aye it’s a whole lot of people that would kill to be n the position there n look at summer League guys and for u to come on espn to promote that’s says alot want your character and u talking abt u want people bag smh 🤦🏿♂️ as. A black man he’ll as a human u don’t compare yo money to no one’s else’s bag look sad, if he doing that others will do the same Especially because of who he is bro that’s bad marketing seats ah be empty and that would mess up the owners pockets that pay our superstars hope u go back n look at this particular interview and actually understand the question aye Stephen a ain’t rite all the time but he can admit when he’s wrong why I respect the man.he not tryna sugar code it just calling it wat it is but ain’t gone lie seems something between u two but understand it’s already hard for the black man that’s not n the media so why would u say that I can Genuinely say that came from the heart place with Stephen a ❤ we get new stud stars every year we ah have anther Kawhi Leonard n the next 2 to 3 years he probably already n the nba just didn’t reach his peak …. Just understand u speak for black people as a whole when u up there they 👀 don’t wanna work but still get paid they don’t do that nowhere dude
Last comment when u say that people will take it as we’re lazy they already think that why say something so stupid u don’t work u won’t eat and u saying u won’t others bags shows a lot about Character Jealousy and envious is not a good look. Them guys have Priorities after the league or summer them guys can live there life this wats comes with it they all sign a contract
