2:46 “Half man, half assed the last 20 games” 🤣🤣 nice twist!

[@PeanutButterAndJellyBros]

kawhi's trade will forever be the only trade to truly disappoint me. Him and the spurs were made for each other. Now the clippers are getting a kawhi who aims to play only in certain games.

[@syncroh2310]

they should've trusted him

[@muhammadalfarizy743]

The players made the relationship more awkward and worse. I don't want Kawhi to leave, but I do understand why he wanted to leave

[@i5tephen668]

@@syncroh2310 he’s literally doing the same thing he did with the Spurs to the Clippers saying his injury is being mismanaged and he’s now unhappy with the front office there too. Dudes a baby. And locker room CANCER

[@syncroh2310]

It’s really unfortunate that Kyrie demanded a trade. I really enjoyed watching him and Lebron play together as a Cavs fan. If he didn’t leave we could have won another Championship.

James harden didn’t demand a trade from okc. He even said he was surprised when he got traded cause he wanted to stay

[@dysfunctional4912]

OKC was offering him 53 to 54 million [4 years] (or else they would've gone over the salary cap) and the idiot wanted 60 million (max entension). He can only blame himself for that.

[@rafisirajuddin4699]

@@dysfunctional4912 I mean he deserve that after 2012, and he don't even asking that much instead they spent money on other Player which is very dumb, the reason why okc didn't give him that money because he fell off on the nba finals but play absolutely amazing on the rest of playoff

[@darrincrawfordjr.2153]

yeah he wasn’t getting the money he was deserving at the time and the rockets saw that and swept in offering him more and although he took it-and i don’t blame him-but i can see why he wouldn’t considering he had kd and russ

The turmoil us Knicks fan has to go through..no luck in trades or signing that could get us past the second round. Still remember how close we were to getting curry. Smh I guess the Melo era was like heaven in the days we had, Mardy Collins, Jared Jeffries, David lee, Renaldo Balkman etc 🥲

[@kingdiesel_2032]

Please don’t remind me it was horrible

[@TheECSH]

Correction, Spurs medical staff did NOT misdiagnose Kawhi Leonard's injury. That was just "Kawhi's team" aka Uncle Dennis and others used as an excuse to force their way out of San Antonio. Isn't it obvious enough that he just wanted to be in LA? It's proof enough that he left Toronto after one season despite Toronto winning the championship.

[@muhammadalfarizy743]

And Kawhi won the championship despite not being in LA. What Spurs got? Demar DeRozan that doesn't want to play for them. In this case I think he won and Spurs just become mediocre

[@i5tephen668]

@@muhammadalfarizy743 he’s literally doing the same thing to the clippers rn

[@lincolnexists5918]

and how do you know this? you are literally just theorizing. i trust kawhi the person more than the spurs the organization. they also had a lot of profit to make if he came back a tad early. same shit happened with ben simmons but no-one wants to talk about it.

[@mikez5488]

@@lincolnexists5918 Spurs have never done anything of what you wrote. It was always players first organization and certainly not profit oriented. You should read some history. Pop got 250k fine for not letting Duncan, Ginobili and Parker play, to keep them healthy. That's just one example.

That decision came back to bite him hard as it turned out the Knicks traded the house to get Melo and had little room to sign suitable co-stars and role players to surround Melo. Shame he didn't have the foresight.

[@thatcrazyjerk833]

"Half man Half ass" is hilarious😅

[@trevorjonas9753]

Sounds like no super star player wants to be with their team 🤣

[@bemusedpanda8875]

Depends on whether or not that team has a good playing environment. It explains why some teams are able to organically grow superstars out of role players whilst others only know how to squander a superstar's prime.

love you guys, really! but this may have been a throw away line, but Vince was not booed every time he came back. At a certain point, the fanbase forgave him. I have been to a number of vince games and he got standing ovations, crowd cheering when he dunked, yelling "dunk it vince" just fact checking for journalistic integrity ;)

[@bemusedpanda8875]

Honestly, the Sixers would have been better off if they didn't trade Ben, Curry and Drummond for an ageing Harden. They should have stared him down and refused any trade until his contract expired. I doubt Ben would be able to play NBA level basketball if he went on a three year hiatus.
