They probably go over these questions in pre-show meetings and he puts it on himself to play devil's advocate on these topics. Otherwise, it's not a debate. Not very good for ratings/views. You'll see him smirk every now and then when the others are questioning his stance on certain things.

Wouldn’t count the 2018-19 Warriors since KD and Klay both got hurt and couldn’t play the rest of the series. They even almost won Game 6 with just Steph and Game 6 Klay nearly carrying them to a win until he tore his ACL on the fast break dunk. But Kawhi def gets credit for his performance against the Heat

What legacy did he have to begin with? His first chip he was the Spurs 4th option on the team and only got the FMVP because he “held” LeBron to 28 ppg. 🤦🏾♂️ Imagine getting an award simply because u “slowed”LeBron down enough that he didnt average 35 ppg against u. Then the only reason he won a second chip was because 2 of GSW’s best 3 players suffered season ending injuries. 🤦🏾♂️ So if we’re going to be real about it what actual legacy does he have?

if the question was "did kawhi underachieve in the second half of his career?" then this segment would've been better. unless kawhi had an antonio brown level of off the field issues, then there's no way he could've "ruined" his legacy

I actually think its good move for Kawai, as much as he is injured... he can take this time to recuperate 100% and get back in the gym to get strong again for next season

I wish the media could be fined for talking about injured players this way. This is unacceptable. Injuries come with a lot of psychological distress and emotional stress. Emmanuel is talking as if Kawhi purchased injuries. SMH!!!!
@gpmuenchow2064 18 күн бұрын
He sure can play the system. This guy has the best job ever. He's always injured at times when needed. But he has enough energy to continually collect pay while not making himself available to play. Yes he's done great things....but in a minimal way. He never intended to play for USA because ain't no money in it.Thumbs Down

The disrespect for Kobe is crazy, man was 9 time first team (NBA record),while leading an NBA decade in scoring and PPG. Kobe is the best 2 way player since Jordan.

I think with him there’s always been rumors/speculation that he doesn’t want to play, if he has the smallest ailment he rules himself out of games

It doesn’t take away from Kawhi’s legacy. BUT part of his legacy has to be the load management which has led to several discussions about NBA players being soft because of it
@WorldBeater123 18 күн бұрын
Only reason Kawhi has the Toronto championship is because Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson got injured in the Finals. Otherwise Warriors would have swept them or won 4-1. Kawhi was good, but he never even won a league MVP, so he was never considered the best player in the league. I agree with Acho, most people will remember Kawhi for his injuries and bringing load management to the league.

Acho going crazy with these takes man. 1. LBJ was never scared of Kawhi 2. Kobe was a better 2 way player than Kawhi 3. Kawhi got lucky af in 2019 finals. In two of the games he got carried by his role players not to mention GSW lost 2 of their starters. 4. Kawhi would never sniff top 10

I don’t think Kawhi being injured is his fault. I think it’s a condition he has to manage and he does manage it very well cause he still does his thing. 6 months ago he was in the mvp convo.
