I don’t even know why we call kawhi a superstar. ZERO mvp’s. I don’t care about the defense. Literally has never been a top 5 player in the world at any point in his career. The glaze must stop.

The NBA might need to incorporate a rule for players like Kawhi: forced retirement 😮

Looks like Stephen A had his money on AD getting hurt before Leonard in the office pool when the video first started.

At this point Kawhi needs to have a TED talk about THE MAGIC OF AVOIDING WORK AND STILL GETTING PAID. Then publish a book about HOW TO GET MORE PTOs FROM YOUR BOSS.

Crazy thing about Kawhi is he didn’t want to resign with Raptors after the chip in 2019 after they begged him, now the man messed up so bad he had to flee the country and using the Raptors as a scapegoat. Kawhi had to be a professional swindler in his past life this man needs to be studied 😂😂😂
