    94?!? Wow. That's like up there with the 10 greatest players of all time and coming off a missed year. Does Pippen even have a 94 rating?

    **then again I didn't play 2k last year other than enough to know it was garbage and didn't pick it up again. So maybe the ratings are stupid and every all star gets handed out 90+ ratings now?

    More than one sentence would be a jaw dropper.

    Extroverted people assume he is a narcissistic malcontent now, I bet. Nobody really knows him except the people he is close too and I bet he hates the attention he gets as an NBA player

    The rating assumes health. Fully healthy, Kawhi is at worst the 5th best player in the NBA.

    Glad I am not alone in thinking he is a little overrated

    If he is an introvert, it's only fuel for him to prove himself.

    I'd like to think he'd resign if they went to ECF, but I expected them all to hash things out 3 months ago before getting this far.

    Will Kawhi be sitting on Uncle Dennis' lap for that?

    Pretty much my thoughts echoed in the tweets below.

    Also, LOL Beadle.

    LOL. Clutchfans would have a field day cannibalizing their names.

    Agree with all of these except I believe Oladipo + Sabonis > PG. Between the ears, Oladipo is several floors above PG.

    Zaza's dirty play on Kawhi now becomes one of those all-time "What if?" questions.

    Before the injury, I doubt there was any bad blood between Kawhi and the Spurs. He probably signs a long-term deal with them and they continue to stay elite if that play doesn't happen.

    The ankle sprain was not the injury that sidelined Kawhi. He had a two quadricep injuries in his career dating back way before that, confirmed and kept him out of games -- one in 2012 and one in March 2016. Not to say they are related at all, but just to say he seems susceptible to quad issues.

    He developed right quadriceps tendinopathy while working out/rehabing in summer 2017, which is an "over-use injury", often caused from rehab or training. They held him out of pre-season.



    Pops saying the ankle is not the issue, but from working on his thigh issues

    I will just say this...Ujiri better not have "gaps of communication" with Kawhi. Just ask the Spurs.
