Time To Give Kawhi His Flowers

[steph_harden]

For this dude to keep coming back from debilitating injury after debilitating injury is actually unbelievable.

We talk all the time about Lebron and his greatness in his longevity. But Kawhi overcoming these crippling injuries over and over again and working his way back to elite is also pure unadulterated greatness. Your average player would be done dealing with one of those injuries....yet Kawhi keeps persevering.

And nikkas say he doesn't love the game? He could have easily just bummed it, collected his checks and just retired....instead he rehabs with pure dedication and diligence.

Dude just might really be the Terminator

Exactly. You can’t tell me last night’s Kawhi isn’t top 3 in the L. Unstoppable shot maker and still an all around elite defender.

 

[Walt]

Would love to have seen him with an injury-free career.

 

[diggy]

SAS said he needed to retire.. B.A.N.

 

[UpAndComing]

This sounds like a jinx thread. Playoffs haven't started yet

TOP 3 IN THE LEAGUE
AT MISSING GAMES.

THE GREATEST ABILITY
IS AVAILABILITY.

RESTING FOR MONTHS
YEAR AFTER YEAR
THEN HAVING FRESH LEGS
SHOULD HAVE HIM LOOKING
BETTER THAN MOST AT THIS
TIME OF THE YEAR.

I dont doubt that staying hurt and rehab aint fun. He does get respect for pushing through. And it is unfortunate he keeps getting hurt. But he is also being paid millions and he has access to the top medical people.

Part of the game is the war of attrition. The long season is part of the deal. Plenty of dudes would look great if they only had to play less than half the season (on average) and then you put em on a squad capable of making the playoffs despite that against a bunch of dudes that played all year.

So in short, you cant be mad at him for getting hurt but he doesn't get props for everything outside of him that allows him to show up at the end of the marathon looking all fresh for once.

I will give him his flowers
but only every 5th day
i won't have any flowers the other 4 days

This is way too early

We can wake up tomorrow to a tweet that he's out for the entire playoffs

Flowers need water every day

That was last night. Let's see what he looking like in game 2 of the playoffs

But I guess you got to get hype off a Kawhi game in April cause rather his team make the playoffs or not he aint playing in May

EXACTLY....

TYPICALLY IF A TOP PLAYER
MISSES MORE THAN HALF THE SEASON
HIS TEAM ISNT GOING TO MAKE
THE PLAYOFFS.

KAWHI HAS THE LUXURY
OF COMING BACK TO A PLAYOFF TEAM
RESTED

Flowers need water every day

and load management

If it weren’t for Harden it wouldn’t have even mattered this season. History is gonna be way way kinder to him than the present

 

[Georgiamuscle]

Kawhi always gets his props for being a top ten player when healthy and future HoFer. Only one gay fanbase hates on him for beating their crush’s head in a decade ago and not wanting to gift wrap him rings in LA
