@@ciscothekid1111analyst don’t know anything outside of football and basketball so everyone goes on break. unless you’re a well rounded analyst and those guys are hard to find now
@@terrellbaker1660he said *highest paid* not the biggest or most ghost ever, who else would you put on that list? I guess people like Ben Simmons but surely he hasn't earned near Kawhis level?
@@simpudney8191 Ben Simmons hasn't done anything to earn that. Kawhi is being paid more for his resume than what he will do moving forward. If he did not have the resume he has the Clippers would have let him go by now. They are just looking to get 1 more "resume" year out of him even if they have to pay him for 2 "ghost" years. All they need is 1.
@@kevinwilliams7252you a cornball with that comment the man has a black wife with mixed kids who are grown plus the man’s best friend died which is why they took a vacation
The clippers are living off the fact that kawhi has 2 titles an paul George dosent, their basically living in kawhi past instead of looking towards the future of their organization.
@@CharlesWilkinson-yc3dmno they’re living off the fact that 60 games from Kawhi still probably wins you 45+ games and they have a new stadium plus don’t own any of their draft picks. Why would they let Kawhi walk and sign Paul George to an even bigger deal at 34 just for him and harden to miss the playoffs and maybe be in the lottery when that pick goes to OKC?
@@CharlesWilkinson-yc3dm A load management Kawhi can still give you 50 wins regular season and then cruise 32 loss to 4-6th seed LeBron have to struggle 11th seed healthy and scoring 25pts per game. You see how ridiculous your logic is.
@stump4522 It's a team sport what is LeBron supposed to do play 1 on 5 he's doing his part by scoring 25pts a game at his age the rest of the team has to step up an do their part especially inconsistent injury prone Anthony Davis if he was as consistent as LeBron is as far a scoring the Lakers would be a better team, atleast LeBron is on the floor when it really matters wether the Lakers win or lose, kawhi Lenard ain't no where to be found in the post season, if we were giving out NBA titles for regular season accomplishments kawhi Lenard would have alot more than 2 titles.
Props to nick for shouting out jaylen Brown, the person as well as saying he was wrong in the past about jaylen brown the player. It's nice that he at least revisits things and brings up when he is wrong when nobody asked him too.
Watching Kahwi at team usa practice, really may be that noticeable, he cannot make it through a full season with healthy knees. so yeah it makes sense both sides just kinda gave each other the nod.
I think the difference would be though if people also think leaving cc out is a missed opportunity to grow their game/brand. I hear ya though Jaylen was deserving.
The main reason for that is she’s the biggest thing to happen to the W in a while and they’d win convincingly anyway despite her not being top of the league yet. Jaylen brown is currently one of most overrated players who had luxury of a fantastic system surrounded with players that’s have offensive weapons to draw defense away. The Olympic team needed ppl like jrue and Derrick white to give them good players who make the team a team.
I'm happy for d-white but picking his teammate was twisting the knife in Jb's back. Three players from the champions and one isn't the finals MVP and eastern conference MVP?
I'm surprised brou had the balls to say in the waning seconds that nike may have had a hand in it after doing a whole segment on his podcast to that effect
Man I hate to admit that I had FTF withdrawals so bad that I actually watched a skip video in their absence since i didn’t have these guys and speak and first take have been slipping too
Umm, the Olympic basketball tournament is a maximum of 6 games in 15 days. At least 2 of those games will be virtual walk overs. There is no travel between games. Even the best players will be playing less than 30 minutes per game. It’s not exactly a burden.
Maybe they simply made the decision to get a role player based on what they’d seen from the team so far? Or maybe the replacement was more of a coach’s decision while the original selections came from higher up Olympics people.
Leonard is an all-defense player, thats why they replaced him with white. Leonard is a scorer on offense but his role in team USA was defending well on defense. They are more dependent on the defensive side because they have enough pure scoring, so they went for white. Way better team building
Toward the end of the Clippers season, Kawhi Leonard looked like he was returning to form. Arguably, even more exciting to watch than the Raptors season. And then his body failed him. I get it. Injuries, wear and tear, being in the NBA for 10+ years. I just want to see Kawhi play at that level to a WCF or Finals before he retires. This act is getting old.
I’m a huge Celtics fan but if I was a Philadelphia fan I would be nervous watching every game. Joel is playing like he’s in the finals lol. He does not need to. He has injury problems all the time. Steve Kerr should be telling him to take it easy. They don’t need him like it’s his last game ever. They are very good. still if he gets hurt good for Celtics but coach needs to tell him to relax
