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

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

Why people in here hating on John wall like he said anything without the facts to prove he did?

Saying he hasn't accomplished anything.? John wall is legit and the scary thing is he and Brad Beal are finally going to go up a few levels in play. They are currently both about to enter top five in their positions.

Harden and Westbrook and steph a tier ahead of Wall.. And second tier is full of the isiahs, Kyrie, Dame, lowry who can beat each other any given Sunday. but I feel wall still hasn't hit his higher ceiling and Will surpass them soon.
For shooting guards you have Harden, Klay, Derozen, Butler ahead of Beal

Facts?This is the Coli. We talking about facts?

 

[KOBE]

John Wall
Hassan Whiteside
Paul George
Lebron
Durant
Lillard

the usual bytches

You forgot Draymond. You know he's mad that Kawhi got those two DPOYs.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Probably because he doesn't have the same expectations placed on him as other star players do.

If Lebron was outplayed in a playoff series you would never hear the end of it.

Bingo

Kawaii will never be held to the same standard cause Lebron is the best but nikkas like fat ass Charles Barkley be suckin him off talkin bout he's the best all alround player in the league

It's a wonderful life bein in Lebron's shadow ask KD

 

[ghostwriterx]

League full of bytch nikkas nowadays

These modern day league nikkas soft as baby shyt. Getting paid all that bread and act like broads. These niccas are getting MEGA CONTRACTS and fragile as eggs.

League always been like this. These are superstar athletes with super egos and insecurities. Remember when they froze out MJ at the all-star game? Only difference is now we have stalkers like Windhorst tracking all this bs down.

 

[MJ Truth]

That's wack. Anybody notice how windhorst said "not just Lebron". To me that's saying Lebron did say it.

LeBron never hid that he didn't think Leonard is on his level. And he's not.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Up until bytch ass KD went to the Warriors he had a great life and he was still mad

Score 27 ppg

Never win anything

Have a ridiculous sneaker deal from Nike

Still be mad

Never get any criticism at all for his playoff failures

 

[chemicalsword]

That post wink glare looking a little seductive. Was it aimed at a jump off in the stands or a player?

Lebron is a tier by him damn self alone regardless and let alone he play in the east on top of that

He is held to a standard most expect spurs confernece finals majority time or finals or its a failure
Also this is his first year without Duncan u still got that
Last year he failed to achieve conference finals and it was known as a failure on kawhi
If anything he didn't start becoming #1 option till last season
Then Duncan leaves
Now he is more so on his own as that
So he has standards it's just that he don't talk or do shyt in media to make a big deal about him
But when they don't reach a certain point it's recognized

Lebron is a generational player nobody in the damn NBA should be compared to him not since Jordan
He can make nets to the damn finals cuz he makes that big of a impact

If anything it should be Durant steph and others kawhi should be compared too cuz their teams and as players are expected to go far in playoffs

He's guaranteed 20 pts 10 assists. This year he's upped his scoring. He's so far ahead of most of the elite point guards in assists. He really needs to up his free throw attempts to ten a game and up his rebounding.. Even if it's comparable to the other elite pgs other than Harden and Russ. The good news is the guy who coached those two is coaching Him and Beal. If I was him I'd study Wade and Westbrook.. Although Wall is smarter than Westbrook.. But Westbrook is relentless.

Brad Beal also needs to up his free throw attempts to ten and increase his rebounding and assists. Offensively I was comparing him to Harden and Gilbert Arenas. They made a leap scoring wise and that was all free throws. Also they shot about 10 shots inside the arc and 7 from behind which I think Beal is doing or almost doing. His shooting numbers and percentages are similar If not better than those guys. Both these guys can average over 25 ppg. They've become scorers

Really I would go so far as to say the only other point guard that has a case as a better pure passer is Chris Paul. Even though Westbrook also averages 10+apg the quality of passes are clearly lesser than Wall's, who can absolutely carve up a defense in a way the higher scoring combo guards can't. Except for Harden of course, I will never consider him anything other than a SG.

Kawaii is nice but let him carry a GARBAGE franchise and have to do everything in order for them to even have a chance to win let alone win titles

The foundation was already established way before Kawii got there..

He can't fukk with LeBron on any level at all

 

[ExodusNirvana]

Dude is one of the most quiet go out and put in work type cats in all of sports...hating on KL is bytchmade

Man Kobe couldn't even do that until they got Pau.

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

Only NBA players that are frustrated with Kawhi Leonard elevation of status play for the Cavs.

You're forgetting about a certain Rockettes dancer that feels hes been robbed of a DPOY twice in a row

 

[MillionMills]

Give any PG not named Westbrook, Curry and Paul Wall's teams and they would be hard pressed to make it into the playoffs even once.

Spoiler

If Windhorst isn't going to reveal a source, I don't buy it. He is making up shyt to help ESPN's Saturday night game between the Spurs & Cavs. The fact is, NO ONE talks about the Spurs and they are 32-9 (second in the league).

ESPN shows zero highlights, TNT just says Spurs are Spurs, the team has had TWO different national TV games flexed already (against Nuggets and Pacers). The only people who talk about Kawhi are Spurs fans and basketball purists who appreciate his greatness.

In the last 4 games, he has scored 133 points on 66 shots. Why wouldn't you talk about a player who is performing at such a high level?
