[@user-pz8xm9eg7i]

@@DW-lw3hg the words “wrong” and “opinion” don’t go together as well as you think; his opinion was that leadership isn’t always positive and perfect, and is a “lead by example” thought process, directly talking about a player like Kobe early in his career. He’s right, leadership comes in different forms, any real high level basketball player like him would know. Would you say Jimmy Butler is a leader for the heat? Yes. Is his leadership quality/style the same as a player like Udonis Haslem?

Rashad started by saying “the best player on the team is the leader” but in past episodes before this one he said “KD is the best player in the Warriors but is not the leader.” Some people get blinded in a debate because of their need to be “right”.

[@Eldot5]

True. It’s a nuanced question, and therefore it’s a nuanced answer to what being a leader on an NBA team entails. It would have helped if both Gil and Rashad could have conceded on what is true and factual the discussion would have been better. Gil was not being honest because he kept making wrong and absurd inferences from what Rashad was communicating. Even though Rashad could have also given room for some more nuance in the fact that there are peculiarities to there being a best player and yet that best player isn’t the leader - I will however also agree with Rashad in saying that for the same reason there aren’t multiple captains on a ship, so also there aren’t many leaders on an NBA team on the floor. As for Miko, she’s just a piss poor communicator and fails to reason logically. Not worth debating her.

[@christopherblake2588]

There’s no nuance, the leader of the team is the leader. The president is the president, other people can invoke their “leadership” in moments. The leader is the leader, and to Rashad’s point, when the leader has spoken, that’s it. We are following that guys lead, not following all the leaders.

I think Miko was spot on. They would've done better to first define what exactly a leader is and what attributes make them a leader. A leader typically motivates, influences, provides guidance and can resolve problems. You don't have to be the best player on the team to do that. Prime example is when Durant was with the Warriors. He was the best player but Steph was the leader.

Draymond is the leader. Great point though
