Pop: Kawhi Was a Great Player, But He Wasn't a Leader or Anything

[VBM]

"Kawhi was a great player, but he wasn't a leader or anything," Popovich told reporters of Leonard, the 2014 NBA Finals MVP and two-time Defensive Player of the Year. "Manu and Patty were the leaders. Kawhi's talent will always be missed, but that leadership wasn't his deal at that time. That may come as he progresses, but Manu and Patty filled that role last year, and LaMarcus [Aldridge] came a long way in that regard also."

Reporters caught Pop after a half a bottle of pinot noir :smugboris:

Pop: Kawhi great player, but wasn't leader for us

Kawhi has a good shot at being in the finals a year after refusing to play for you Pop.

Hope he signs with the Lakers and leads them to a title.

Where is the Lie in what he said?

Kawhi ain't a leader, a good leader requires strong interpersonal skills, and willingness to talk and boost morale.

Kyle Lowry is more of a leader than Kawhi.

Well younger guys and role players look to the leader for direction.

A losing streak or being down 10pts at the end of the 3rd quarter, a leader instills confidence.

This is not about talent.

Y’all nikkas and this Kyle Lowry shyt

You should pay attention, perhaps you'll learn something instead of being stuck in ignorance.

 

[NoMorePie]

A team that had duncan, parker, and ginobili didnt require kawhi being a leader

Merely from last year. He showed no quality or willing of being a leader on or off the court. That was all manu and lamarcus.


But undisputed and first take gonna eat this up

 

[O.T.I.S.]

I knew you would be here

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I knew you would be here

You knew I would be here when facts need to be reiterated? You are a smart man after all.

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

I’m just waiting for Lowry to choke in the playoffs for Kawhi and Uncle Dennis to set up that meeting with Magic. :umadkobe:
