Did you even watch the video? He didn’t say it’s because of skill, it’s because Kawhi hasn’t been able to stay healthy, and that he should rest instead. Kawhi hasn’t played more than 70 games in a season since 2016-17.

Larry Bird was on his way out of the league and didn't really play as MJ, Clyde, Pippen & Barkley were the focal points of that team. Kawhi is 32 & $40 mil a year. That argument is not even in the same universe. If he blows something out in the Olympics, who's picking up the tab? Hint: not the United States government

@drewt8138 it's not the same universe, BUT it's in the same atmosphere!! Put it like this, Rodney Roger's said, "One dribble pull-up, going left off glass,"... "One dribble, going right. Spin. Shot. Bucket.” “He scored nine times or eight times in a row. Left the court to go lay down because he couldn't sit on a bench. He had to lay down because of his back, and the legendary Bird said ‘Young fella, look like ‘84 huh?’ ....THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE, my friend!! I really don't know what Kawhi will do!! Multiple right knee injuries compared to continuous back pain/pains!! I'm not a physician/ doctor or sports doctor. All I know is that Bird was 35 and Kawhi is 32!!

I understand what you’re saying Stephen A. But we do realize Kawhi is a grown man who could make his own decisions. Imagine Disney/ ESPN stopping you from doing this podcast even though it’s on your personal time. I know his injury history is bad but nobody should stop him from trying to capture an Olympic gold medal to add to his resume. Especially when we see you guys got a free center with Joel Embiid who also has a bad injury history.

@@J3TRO1 You're talking injuries. Every athlete is injured. Kawhi was getting minute restrictions and load management nights in his early 20s in San Antonio. That's not the same thing. And, honestly, you're right. Stephen A's logic could also apply to Embid. He's not healthy and he won't be healthy when the Olympics start and even when he finishes, he's gonna need all the rehab he can get. Same logic applies. But Kawhi is miles ahead of everyone else on the roster in games missed & load management over the course of his career. You take a lap! You're actually proving the same point

Contrary to y’all in the cmmts I agree with Stephen A 100%. The only ppl that get hurt as consistently as him on the roster is Joel and AD, but they need them bc we have no bigs. We have other really good Forwards we can replace Kawhi with. I don’t even understand why they would want someone like him that gets hurt so easily when there are other good options. Can’t count on him, and that’s aside from the argument of keeping him healthy for the Clippers.

Stephen A Smith does not know what he is talking about. Klaw has three rings. He is a two time Finals MVP. And he is one of the best defenders in the history of the game. The only reason that he gets injured is because he gives you 110 percent both end of the floor. Stepen A Smith just wants to punish him because of load managment. He is not worrying about Klaw getting injured. Klaw is probally going to play 10 or 5 minutes per game. USA is going to blow all of them out by 20 points. The dream team are going to have fun. Yet, they might need him in the finials. Klaw can gaurd that French graff. Dream team is designed to show appration that those players are hall fames and legends. Kawi is one of the greatest players of all time - Top 10. It is time for usa baskatball team to give his due and celebrate his legacy. He deserves it.

I'm going to assume that most of yall in the comments no nothing about basketball, read the thumbnail & started texting immediately. When I see quotes about "Why doesn't he deserve" & "why you hatin on Kawhi" & " Kawhi hate gotta stop". I just shake my head. NBA players use the summer to rehab. So, if the Clippers go deep into the playoffs, God willing win it all, that's late May into June. Then the Olympics, then report back to mini camp, on to preseason and the start of the season is what October, November? Meaning an already fragile player won't have time to rest and rehab. Not speaking this into the air & may God be with him but what if he blows something out in December or January? Stephen A is asking WHO'S PICKING UP THE TAB? If you don't know basketball, THEN HUSH!

Biggest beat around the bush Hater. He likes to talk about “availability” and trashes him. He never talks about how good he is.

That was classless. You gotta stop with hate. He definitely deserves to represent the USA.

Kyrie should’ve been on the team. Shame on Grant for picking Kawhi over Ky. Pretty sure everyone on the roster has played with Kyrie before.

With all of those great 3-point shooters and great post defenders, there's a very good chance that Kawhi Leonard and others will have quite the number of opportunities for load management in the 2024 Olympics. He'll be all right.

Factz! I happy Kawhi finally can get an Olympic gold but yea def think Kyrie/JBrunson or Paolo Banchero makes more sense for several reasons

He should have been on team USA years ago!! I get what he’s saying but he’s talking like he doesn’t have a ring already like he’s rung chasing or something… tbh this might be noo this is his last chance at getting a gold medal 🥇

Stephen A doesn't deserve to speak on sports topics, yet he still speaks and gets paid to do it.

This team is now officially a dream team. Its the last chance to have LeBron, KD, Steph and Kawhi play together. They defined a generation of NBA basketball. The first 3 defined the super teams and Kawhi was the one to break their runs. I'm so happy grant hill got this done for all basketball fans around the world.

On paper this is the team now, come summer time, I expect it to be changed. Health being the reason.
