Brian Windhorst: Some NBA players are frustrated with Kawhi Leonard getting too much love

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

we've already been through this. you talk slick about Kawhi just about any chance you get when somebody gives him props. It always comes with a "yea but" with you.

I don't have a problem with anybody giving ANY player props, except I do have a problem with dudes overrating players - which is what's happening in this very thread. Dudes were talking that shyt about how great Kawhi was last season and how better he was than KD, then what happened? He got outplayed by Durant and the Spurs lost.

and the issue I have with you is bruh, don't come at me like i'm so child. i ain't got no issues with you and your opinions but when you talk greezy and slick on some "i don't see why you acting brand new" like i'm so female or something, then that's where I gotta pump your breaks. that's the issues nikkaz have with you and why most of the board don't fukk with you, you don't know how to address people when you disagree with them and that's why people come at your neck.

I'm coming at you like that because you're painting me as some Kawhi hater (when I've told you I was a fan of dude before he even came into the league), and not somebody who's being reasonable. The irony of you saying I don't know how to address people when I disagree with them, when we had this exchange just the other day -

KD is a better offensively player without a doubt but the gap between them defensively is astranomical bruh. Kawhi is world's better

This is couldn't be further from the truth, and truth be told Durant has been arguably better on the defensive end this season - he certainly has had more impact in certain areas on defense (particularly protecting the rim). He's been an elite defender for a while now, and has been underrated on that end for the better half of a decade.

Oh here you come outta hiding to stick up for GS like clock work

Here I am trying to have a proper discussion and you reply with this fukk nikka shyt? SMH.

I quoted you and kept it strictly basketball talk, and you reply with some ad hominem shyt, and you're accusing me of not being able to address people properly when I disagree with them?

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

With you it's never a "I feel you but I disagree" it's always "see, that's where YOU'RE wrong" or a "you don't know what you're talking about". fukk outta here with that shyt bruh.

Because a lot of dudes are bullshytting and lying, that's why I say shyt like that. If dudes are posting reasonable shyt and I disagree what what they're posting, then you're gonna get "i feel you but I disagree" type of posts from me.

Your last post in this thread is classic example of what i'm talking about

What's wrong with this post -

Except Kawhi isn't doing the same. How dishonest can you be?

Curry put up 30 ppg on 20 shots per game with a 67 TS%, taking 11 three-point shots a game and completing them at 45% for an entire season
Kawhi is putting up 25 ppg on 17 shots per game with a 61 TS%, taking 5 three-point shots a game and completing them at 41% for an entire season

How the hell you came to the conclusion Kawhi is doing the same, I don't know. Y'all Spurs fans better hope Kawhi balls out in the playoffs, and not under-perform like he did in the last postseason.

I don't hope he dies cause hella extreme, but as I spoke to in my last post, nikka needs to learn how to address and engage with people when he don't agree with em instead going on emotional rants and talking slick. All he has to do is say some shyt like "I get you but the reason why I don't think...blah blah blah blah" and posters would take em more seriously. All that "do you even watch basketball" school girl shyt he be doing is for the birds and I even fukk with his post.

fukk him he's annoying as fukk. I swear id shoot him if I ever saw him in person.

He can miss me with his bullshyt, I dont entertain that clown ass nikka, he can get the fukk on tagging me in anything

I'm not the one who resorts to ad hominem shyt, that would be you. I addressed you with a proper, detailed post and you replied with some slick shyt about how I came outta "hiding" to stick up for GS like clockwork. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

You ain't shootin anybody. If you wanna settle this shyt you can come see me whenever you like. I don't play like that.

I dont give a fukk how you play

If im ever fortunate to cross paths with you it is what it is

Until then ill just continue to ignore your posts and wish to see Amber Alerts for your present/future children

because you even did that slick shyt with that post a few days ago which is why I said what I said . You just don't get it bruh but w/e. How about you don't @ me, quote me, dap me, just ignore my post and i'ma do the same with you bruh

Clearly you're oversensitive when it comes to Kawhi, nothing I said was "slick". You said the defensive difference between the two players was astronomical, and I said that it couldn't be further from the truth. Now if you had said Kawhi was the better defensive player, but Durant was no slouch on defense himself I wouldn't have even quoted you in the first place, because that would be a reasonable position to have. Your take on Durant's defense was unreasonable. I didn't call you stupid or anything along those lines for having that opinion, and all I got in reply was some shyt about how I came outta hiding to defend GS, instead of addressing the content of my post.

I don't know where all this hostility is coming from when I've been nothing but respectful when I've addressed you (90%+ of the time). But whatever, if you wanna take the road of ignoring me than that's on you breh.

That doesn't make him a top-3 player and that doesn't make him a top-5 offensive player. The fukk is wrong with you?

Oh but it does shut yo hating ass up who else in the league averaging 25+ on 50/40/90 shooting while being the top defender in the league? Shut yo dumb ass up

 

[Bledswole]

You clearly can't even follow your own discussion properly -

Can you clearly not see me listing Kawhi's name in the top-10 overall players?

I mentioned Boogie and AD being better offensive players because they've put up better numbers as the #1 options over longer periods of time. That is a FACT. You don't become a top-5 offensive player because you start putting up #s (that aren't even better than others) in one season. If he can keep this up and translate it over to the postseason and in the following seasons, we can revisit that discussion. But as of now he isn't a top-5 offensive player.

I still see you don't know what you're talking about @FlashGordon22.

This nikka hatin hard on Kawhi

[Bledswole]

Resume equaling the #s he's put up and the impact he's had. This is the first season he's putting up elite numbers. He wasn't a dominant player when he won a ring/Finals MVP. You're telling me he has a better resume and has shown to have more impact on the game for longer than either LeBron, Durant and Curry - players who're still at the top of their games?

He's not a top-5 offensive player. Period. If you wanna be wrong that's on you.

Top 5 offensive player
Best defender in the entire league
Arguably best two way player
Top 3 overall

Kwahi has arrived

It would only be hating if what I said isn't grounded in facts and reality.

You don't know how to judge players properly, as evidence by your blind Rondo stanning which blew up in your face.
