Yet Kyrie and KD is on the list :jbhmm:

Kyrie who said he wants his numbers in the Celtics rafters

And KD who's says the media is trying to split him from the warriors

Then you have Kawhi whos never given any indication of staying

All might leave now but you know Kawhi was least likely throughout the whole season. Late season and playoffs changed things for everyone. You know this

Nah breh...nice try tho. Jimmy Butler on the list too. Admit you're wrong or die on your sword...either way I'm done with this. If y'all think Kawhi is a marketable athlete I'll let you cook.

To those comparing him to MJ personality wise ask yourself if Kawhi could carry a movie like Space Jam....didn't think so.

Any player signing to Jordan is dooming their career to 2nd tier star status (Melo, CP0, Westbrick). Only iconic Jordan shoes (and thd only ones that really sell) are Jumpmans.

Besides Kawhi isnt outspoken enough for Jordan brand.
New balance is perfect for him. Quiet, high quality, understated, and comfortable.

Plus :mjpls: aint giving up no equity to another ball player. Guys like Steph and Klaw going for brands trying to get into the hoops game will get better shoe deals

How in the hell is Russ second-tier status :dahell:?

Because he's a mute with no personality. Dudes like him and Tim Duncan don't deserve their own shoes because they can't be good pitchmen for the brand.

Save that money for Zion, no kid in grade school wants to be Kawhi.

No different than a limited actor in Hollywood....a show campaign for Kawhi can be successful as long as whomever is coordinating understands they may have to compensate for his shortcomings

To be fair he didn’t really become the man until now. He was on the spurs, don’t no one really give af about them like that to cop their gear.

I bet now his sales go up tho.

Exactly this. After Kawhi’s performance in the playoffs, his status is now superstar top 3 status. Sports media debating if he is the best player in the world, or a battle with him, KD or Giannis everyday. If Kawhi makes it to the finals defeating the player the media is feening to anoint as the best? Drake backing him, etc. This wasn’t the case a year ago. Spurs saga with an injury that had him MIA for a year, was his injury legit? Is he overrated, system player? It goes to show how fast the narrative can change. I remember everything this bytch Beadle was saying about him, and even she had to eat crow and praise him with her crew. He’s the man right now. I’m at the EYBL Dallas , and I’ve been hearing Kawhi vs with the kids. I doubt that was the topic when he was a Spur.

How many rings Tim Duncan got? How many commercials you seen him in besides the one he did with David Robinson back in the day?

You can't even guarantee he'll be there next year. You can't guarantee he'll sell more jerseys than Zion. Keep the faith tho mane.

Kawhi is constantly going viral on some ironic shyt and is one of the top players in the game.

The Klaw is one of the best logos out right now. Jordan brand sucks stop putting it on Kawhi. The Swoosh would have had him right.

Duncan has plenty of commercials...

Dudes would rock foams by anybody chief. If you came out with your own foams tomorrow I'd rock them. Penny made em pop tho.
