He found out it wasn't a paid gig and bounced
😂that’s wild
Hahahah 😂😂 not gonna be surprised
Saving his knee for some money ball fr lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kawhi should be praised for finessing half a billion dollars to show up on weekends and call out sick for the playoffs. 😂
He carried Toronto to a ring after they were dogshit their entire franchise’s existence
@@tnertthegreatthey were competitive before he arrived
He's going to effectively hurt the players in the long run with this
@@tnertthegreat That was the peak of his career and been downhill since lol.
@@arutimetto4827and that peak clears every star peak stop hating
Bro came for a free Jersey and a team photo then dipped.
Literally
He's fleecing the league, u can't get out there for the team that's paying u but trying out for international 🏀, makes no sense....... IMO 🤔!!
It sucks not seeing Kawhi play on the team but maybe it's for the best for his health
Came for the buffet 😂
Bro stole the joke from social media
I watched the Raptors 2019 doocumentary yesterday to reminisce on that season. The film crew showed Kawhi after he played 52 minutes in game 3 of the ECF. The look he had on his face was the most worn out expression I have ever seen from a player in the league.
That being said, Kawhi literally gave it his all to win that championship. Kudos to him for getting his revenge on Golden State. His injuries are tragic and his retirement is only a matter time. I'm just glad I got to see his career🙏
Bro u can’t be that naive to believe that Nike had nothing to do with Jaylen brown not being on this Olympic team 😢
Anthony Edwards is signed to adidas and is part of the team
@@joshuaatehortua7352it's not about Jaylen Brown being on adidas. It's the fact that he called Nike put for dropping Kyrie that they have a problem with.
@@joshuaatehortua7352had to have a token somewhere. It’s admittedly strange that Kyrie and Jaylen did what they did this season and didn’t make it.
Jaylen just had the confetti 🎊🎉🏆 fall for him & he was the best player, he's probably not interested in international 🏀...... IMO 🤔!!
thats what im saying i just watched the video and kinda disappointed how he glossed over that…
People tryna say he still should get a medal if USA wins GTFOH
Participation trophy for not participating.
Don’t matter it won’t be respected
He won’t accept it anyway 🤷🏾♂️
@@babywizardkelly166maybe not now but who's going to remember in 4 or 8 years? Pepperidge farms? That's not enough
So what atand by principle even if no one remembers it @@mattpassos5689
Dam kawhi is becoming one of the biggest what's ifs. He really had his last run in 2019, and he was extremely load managed that year and you could tell he still barely made it through that championship. He had the potential to put together an all time great resume.
OK, Derek Rose Tracy McGrady Grant Hill, hell a lot of guys could have put it together.They didn't though so they're right where they're ranked right where they're ranked you gotta deal with that
He had a run in 2020 he just choked lol
"Becoming" a "if"🤔, @some point u have to accept what you're seeing 👀!! He like Embiid r who they r, their bodies aren't cooperating.......plain & simple!!
He had the talent to be the best player of his generation. Probably the best defensive guy at his position, could score from anywhere and was not afraid of the moment. He had the smoothness to his game that lebron has never had.
@BLee09 You're clueless.
If being a ×2 time champion, ×2 time Finals MVP and ×2 time DPOY isn't a great resume in your opinion, then no resume would impress you
It’s nothing new bro he has a degenerative knee. He’s never gonna be 100% good to go again. Do yall still not know this by now???
apparently clips didnt know when they paid him 50mil for 3yrs
Yup dude. It's why he got traded from the Spurs. After that quad injury they found out he also had a degenerative knee and refused to give him the max. Cuz they knew his condition would continue to get worse and worse. That's why they had that falling out. Theirs no remedy or cure for it except resting.
I thought it was because the team doctors misdiagnosed his injury and were trying to rush him back plus his teammates calling him out had a lot to do with it as well
@@Pichii21they have to sell tickets for their new arena, they can't just let him walk for nothing and start their rebuild.
@@gotworc by any chance what does it mean by degenerative knee? Is it arthritis or something else?
I'll really never understand why you guys think that all NBA players care about winning championships.85-90% of them just care about making money as easily as possible
Someone understands 100%

@@macenblu6That's not the league I grew up watching, players wanted to show that their skill set could dominant!! They're out here as Barkley said "giving BUMS 💰"!!
@@ReverendSam1That’s probably because players were getting paid pennies compared to what is being made now….
Kawhi Leonard is really going to be one of those players you look crazy calling him an all time great to future your grandkids after they check his career totals 😭😩
Not a all time great but I just have a higher standard for “superstar” wait is he even a super star any more
@@NNOutBurger_Gaminghe is a superstar he’s just very injury prone, dudes going to the hall of fame however if you look at his resume
@@NNOutBurger_Gaming not an all time great but he has 2 finals mvps and 2 dpoys and one of the most dominant playoff runs in nba history? top 75 nba team? gtfoh casual
@denzel8827
His accolades have context. First of all, it's the Basketball HoF. Guys who never played in the NBA are in that HoF. Second, Melo has no DPOYs and no FMVPs, and he played in the East when ppl called it the LEast. He's going to be in the HoF as well.
When Kawhi won his first FMVP, he was literally the 4th option for the whole season. He gets enough credit for stepping up in the post-season. But you can't act like he was a superstar at that point just because of the way the season ended. He was just a role player on a team led by old guys. After he took over the team, he didn't win anything in SA. Curry took over the West and held onto the West with and without KD all the way until Kawhi eventually ran away from the West.
Toronto made the playoffs 5 years in a row before Kawhi got there. 3 of those years they were a 50+ win team and the only reason they missed the Finals was due to LeBron and the Cavs.
TOR rank in the East before Kawhi
1st (Atlantic Div)
1st (Atlantic Div)
2nd (East Conf)
3rd (East Conf)
1st (East Conf)
The following year, they swapped DeRozan for Kawhi. They upgraded their number 1 option and that same year LeBron left CLE. 3 years in a row, eliminated by LeBron, then Kawhi takes over and there is no LeBron to deal with. Kawhi coming off of tons of rest after hustling SA still only won that title due to GS not being able to stay healthy.
He immediately left for LA and went right back to what he was doing as the number 1 in SA. Getting hurt and winning nothing.
@@BruvahSulaiman quite literally not a single thing you said matters. even if some of the things you said were true in their own context (they aren’t) it wouldn’t matter. we are talking about being an all time great. kawhi is on that team. every single thing you’re saying is just trying to minimize kawhis achievements as if it changes the fact that he was the most dominant player in the world at one point. No one cares if toronto was good beforehand, no one cares if kawhi was the “4th option” before the finals, because it’s called finals mvp for a reason, and any attempt you made at playing down kawhis achievements could be used against any other star. just stop now 😂
If kawhi was healthy in his entire career he would be in the goat conversation.
Man it’s not cause JB not associated with Nike it’s cause he publicly criticized them
I don't believe he's interested in international 🏀, he's gotten a taste of the championship confetti 🎊🏆🎉 & wants more....... IMO 🤔!!
He is a muslim cant expect them to be patriotic
@@ReverendSam1I find it crazy how little American sports matter at international level. For almost every football player (soccer) they would rather win the World Cup for their country than winning a title for their club
@@minovictor I'm big on USA 🇺🇸 sports, u can have soccer, rugby, cricket & whatever else!! Why is it that international players want to play here(🇺🇸)🤔??
@@ReverendSam1typical american with more pounds of fat than brain cells
Imagine if Kawhi was healthy his entire career he is easily top 15 if not 10
always "what if" with Kawhi 😂couldn't imagine him being my favorite player
@@fearlesstay Its almost like "what if Lebron never choked in the playoffs" bro would be a legit 6-2 in the finals and never would have lost to Dirk. Couldn't imagine being a douchebag as big as you.
Imagine if i was 7’4 and played like Lebron i would have been the best player of all time lol 😂😂😂
Maybe top 20. I can't go 15 though.
@@nunez1822 nah, you probably would get injured regularly playing like lebron at 7'4. It would be very unlikely for you to have the speed and agility required to play like him at that height while also having the strength at 7'4. See what happens when you just say dumb shit?
The switch up to say he trash is soo funny 😂😂😂
Nobody is saying he's trash, we're just saying he's unavailable/injured 90% of the time. There's a difference.
It's been the last days of his career for the past 4 years
Joel Embiid shouldn’t be on the USA roaster because of his extensive injury history.
Need the size!!! Kawhi is more replaceable
*his
He isnt even american. He shouldnt be on the team in the first place
@@rileyhigginbottom5828 wasnt the rule to be an american citizen for a certain period of time or to be born there?
Might be but atp he gone be injured regardless might as well play🤷🏾♂️
Having this context, why is it crazy for Paul George to ask for what he asked for?
I agree with you and people including LOW were making it seem like PG asking for the same contract but with a trade clause was outrageous as an individual, when the clippers specifically told him they wanted him there and wanted him to retire there. So why not stand on that and provide what your star player asks for if you truly want him there ? Or were you as organization just lying to your player ?
New nickname alert kawhi will now be known as mr glass
Factz
Corny just like when it was used for AD
More like half a man half a season
Bring up CJ McCollum and Grant Williams faces when talking about bad contracts is devious 😂
omm i was literally watching this the whole time and was thinking why he was even on team USA lmaooo
Paul George was doing the same shit as Kawhi - trying to get a contract. If you think PG is gonna play all those games again yall are buggin, especially since he doesn’t even care about Philly he wanted to stay in Cali. He secured his bag, he’s back to street clothes
He's playing all these extra games because the dude he came over to play with is never available
Kawhi got paid for 5 years to work out, get massages, get his hospital bills paid and occasionally hoop
I hope your heart is in the right place low don’t clown on anyone’s physical health
Man just wanted the jersey and photoshoot💀
“If you are Kawhi you are getting at a point of your career where the accolades I don’t necessarily know if he has enough to be considered an all time great.”
As a Kawhi fan Shit like this pisses me off
Yeah I’m a Kawhi fan too, that was wild, dude is definitely an all time great even with his injury history. Two time Finals MVP and champion with a DPOY, isn’t an all time great? Lol that’s crazy.
I understand a lot of players have more accomplishments, but Kawhi is definitely an all timer.
@@Cutty2 people severely undermine kawhi greatness because of things that is out of his control
@@pepeold1074 ppl undermine him cause even outside of his injuries all the load management nonsense and fallout with the spurs ruined ppls perception of him. He's a HOF lock for sure but i aint surprised ppl look at his career weirdly
The way they cut down players to make this era as much about Lebron and Steph as they do is gross.
I think he meant that he isn't an all time great relative to what his career trajectory was looking like it was going to be pre-injuries. Obviously he is an all time great but it looked like he was going to be much higher at the time than what it is now
Sam Presti rubbing his hands together menacingly right now😂
Kawhi this season made all star team, all nba, and was a top 10 player in the league. He not going decline when he on the court. Clippers at this point just hope to be a play in team and pray for kawhi and harden to stay healthy. With the contract they have just nothing else they can do.
Bro as a Mavs fan, this shit is so sad. Used to love and look forward to the playoff matchup vs the Clips every year. Gave us great series every time going to 6-7 games.
Zaza did this damnit
Partly but KAwhi was the poster boy for load management and got him nowhere
His ankle injured his quad? Cmon bro
@@MrCovert23 u think he wanted to sit out he was hurt like Mac Grant Hill n Brandon Roy jus medicine better n he trying prolong his knees
@@Romanus- nah that's when kwahi stopped being him them injuries was nowhere to be seen until then
@@AKWuzHere2019? That run lowkey put him up their till he blew that 3-1 and started having more injuries
After dropping this vid I'd start watching my back
This is tough to watch because Kawhi has been my favorite player since Kobe retired. I honestly think his fundamental style of play combined with his ruthless efficiency on both ends is the best way to win a playoff game. Plus this was such a perfect fit with the Clippers because he didn't have to do a lot of playmaking which led to him having a lot of energy defensively where I thought he had his best year as a Clipper. Also, the reason his scoring numbers went down is because he didn't demand the as much as other superstars which is the right way to play winning basketball.
In short, my silly ass really thought Kawhi was gonna have another great playoff run but man I was disappointed. And now this is like a nail in the coffin. So i have to officially say "we done with Kawhi Leonard"
It’s ironic bc during their time as Clippers Kawhi has played more regular szn games than PG
Remember when y’all clowned PG for wanting the same money Kawhi got? I think it’s time for a conversation.
Zaza Pachuilia still hasn’t said “get well” to Kawhi
Kawhi the Frank Ocean of basketball
You didn't really have a point against Browns theory. No one suggested or implied that you had to be a Nike athlete to make the team. Most guys on the team are Nike athletes, but with Brown and Kyrie specifically, they both have issues with Nike. That's where that probability comes from.
I personally still think kawhi is still top 10 but his durability is not good enough I always say your best ability is your availability
Him and uncle Dennis ran game on the clippers plain and simple
The clippers were amazingly stupid to give that extension. How are people paid millions and make such screw ups.
Players have tremendous power over the league
@@Skills50They bring in the money, so I don't mind that they get so much of the revenue
@shepardice3775 really? I don't think people are really watching. The NBA sells "stars" to the TV networks and it raises the cap for the players since they're 50% revenue sharing they make more over time but I'm not sure if it's deserved.
Owners selling teams, TNT not renewing and the TV deal contract being a 10 year deal instead of a 4 or 5 and not being as lucrative, the U.S. on a national level are going to be really bad but there's no outrage when it happens because nobody will care. Not going in the right direction
Hahahaja the minute you got real on kawhi , i had to laugh and sub.. keep it up my man
craziest part is they have this new arena and I'm not even sure how they're going to fill those seats with the way this team is setup. They probably should have paid PG... no one showing up just to NOT see Kawhi play.
As a kawhi fan I’m sick of the injuries I just wanna see my dog hoop
It’s never going away he had a deteriorating knee to make it a short story. Which makes Paul George look crazier he wanted clippers to pay two hurt old guys but wants to win
The clippers might be the most cursed organization ever, seems like every star player they get becomes a shell of who they once were with some many different injuries and it’s kinda sad when you think about it.
Kawhi during his 2019 playoff run was clearly hurt and played through some knee injury and now he is paying for it also it didn't help that he tore his ACL back in 2021, probably this contract is going to be his last
What else is new. I think everyone is used to kawhi not playing. When he retires it will be unnoticeable
Kawhi in the playoffs is super different but he cant make there anymore 😢
Kawhi was already canonized as an all-time great when the NBA put him in the top 75
LA Clippers owner Steve Balmer is by far the richest owner in not only the NBA but all 4 major team sports in America. Paying Leonard $50 million a year for the next 3 years is chump change for him.
Kawhi is my favorite player in the NBA and I truly believe that people do not know how much we have missed out on. IMO the best version Kawhi was 2017 which is the only season where he was able to maintain his hyper efficient volume scoring DPOY level defense. His injury set him back so much and defensively he was never the same after 2017. It is a shame that we never got to see Kawhi fulfill his potential, but also insane that he was able to reach the height that he did considering that he was supposed to be a role-player. 2019 is still my favorite playoff run shame that Warriors got hurt though. However the biggest shame in my opinion is 2021. Every all time great has a low point. For Kawhi it was 2020 where Kawhi underperformed. A lot of people blame this loss on the team, but Kawhi did not play like Kawhi this series, and if he did the Clippers win that series IMO. So in 2021 Kawhi had to prove that he was the best and in the first 2 rounds he was playing like it, but as we all know he went down. Not saying he would have won the chip that year, but a complete playoff would have cemented Kawhi's legacy either way, and completed a really compelling narrative. Either he wins and proves that he is that dude, or he looses and everyone can say that he was really good, but not quite on the level of other all time greats. The limbo that Kawhi injuries have left us in is the ultimate anticlimax, and possibly the worst way to end a story. Even Kawhi haters have a hard time because Kawhi sadly hasn't even done enough to hate. IMO Kawhi was set up a the perfect dark horse, but was never able to live to his narrative potential which leads to people feeling frustrated. I am a fan though so imma keep believing that Kawhi will get a healthy run before he goes so he can complete his narrative. Ultimately i dont think NBA fans realize what we have missed with Kawhi absence 2019 was hype though
I blame Joe Ingles
Let’s be real he pulled out cause the Olympics are 3 weeks long and that’s the amount of load management time he puts in every month
Kawhi still him when healthy. His numbers were only lower because he had more help scoring with PG, Harden,, Norman, mann and Russ
I mean it don't seem like it, but Kawhi actually played 68 games this season. I did not know that. I thought it was way lower lol
The new CBA is great. Teams are handing out bad contracts and tons of money like it's going out of style. They should pay the price if things don't work out. There's no easy way out now. You have to deal with the consequences if things go south.
The new cba isn’t great, teams paid the price for bad contracts by not winning and paying hundreds of millions for nothing. The new cba just makes it so if your not the 1st or 2nd option your probably making closer to minimum pay. It’s just a work around for owners to save themselves money
Zaza robbed that man of a healthy future with that dirty ass play
Oh he’s the laugh meme guy now I know who he is
I don’t understand wny nba fans and media have collectively decided to pocket watch and take attendance like we’re his financial advisor and elementary school teacher lmao bro is scamming the worst people on the planet from the owners to people who overpay for clips games. He’s a hero
Kawhi accomplished way more than the avg NBA player.he good no matter what happens from now on
He probably knew he was hurt 💯😂 I ain't saying nothingggggg lol
Clippers got the babymama treatment 😂😂
He resigned before he made the all NBA team
Low has been looking extremely cute lowkey
This being the first comment is crazy
LOW not dropping the OF link bruv
Huh🧮
😂 I had to read this twice
Sus sus sus sus
You said in your last video that PG was delusional for wanting the same money Kawhi got. Now you say that PG was more valuable to the Clippers (and I agree completely). Which one is it?
More valuable because he plays marginally more. Both are still terrible contracts and overvalued
The clippers shouldn't have extended Kawhi's contract. Bro is so injury prone.
This is one of the few times it's really unfair towards the organization. Kawhi is getting paid soo much, yet he barely played any duration of his contract.
Kawhi is basically D Rose but with a couple rings.
Nike didn’t want brown on the squad after defending kyrie
Idk how you think this version of Kawhi is better than PG 😂😂😂😂
I was a pg24 fan when I was younger, and yes kawhi is much better than him, kawhi is on a near tier with lebron, kd, curry, and a tier with AD
They are going to undo the second apron in the next CBA.
Hope so bro
They should. It’s way too aggressive
@Romanus- Yeah no way the player association agrees to it again.
He has nothing to prove imo. He has enough accolades. He could’ve accomplished more, but he did accomplish a lot
Bro i don’t know why you acting like Kawhi wasn’t straight hooping this season
Ur right he totally was, remind me again what happen in the playoffs this year just curious 🧐
It's called playing for a contract finessing the organization
@@Skills50 he for sure is doing that, for damn sure he is
Like I really don’t understand what’s going on with bro, dude was 2 games off of 70 games played this past regular season and once the playoffs come he’s nowhere to be seen aside from 2 games💀 it’s really just PG out their unless harden shows up (he had 2-3 good-decent games during the mavs series). Embiid plays through his injuries and Kawhi did it back in Toronto but I guess it’s just age
I just subscribed the other day and I’m a clippers fan so I will go easy on this opinion:
Gilbert Arenas said it best… how many weeks did Kawhi practice with team USA? He was just in Costa Rica and other countries two weeks ago
Did he randomly leave Team USA practice and came back and wasn’t all there? Because one week is not even close to “several weeks” they simply didn’t think he was healthy there was no such thing as couple great workouts they needed more ball movement and versatility
ZaZa robbed us of a potential all-time great, Kawhi hasn't been the same since that injury.
those players youre talking about on team USA that arent signed to NIKE werent talking about NIKE and their ethics like JB was. Idk how u missed that and just went on like JB wasnt picked just because he isnt signed to nike, im sure if he didnt say anything about them he would be on team USA
Floor spacing is a reason to not have Kyrie on team USA low??? Are you serious with that statement lol

Been saying this all summer! Love Kawhi (I think he's better than KD) but this is inexcusable. If you can't play after resting 2 months then you shouldn't be playing at all
Scoring? Bro he went on one of the most dominant 30 game stretches ever. He has pg and harden and they cruised to the playoffs. U think kawhi needs be dropping 30 a game? Kawhi has no problem scoring and his defense is still top tier. Y’all really be admitting y’all just look at stats and don’t actually watch the games
Idc, peak kawhi over peak kd
Clippers said Naw Kawhi. You aint playing. We pay you and dont show up. Now you gonna risk getting hurt.
Shoulda stayed in toronto
Wtf were the clippers thinking. Never understood extending him
Okay man, "at a premium" means something that is valued highly, something that is rare
And you said Kawhi had a poor season, then showed some insane figures from this season, then said his numbers had dropped off. I dont really like Kawhi, but he had a great regular season. When the "big 3" played together their record was phenomenal up until around february
Yeah these past videos Ive been noticing LOW just says things sometimes and it seems he doesn’t know the meaning.
Also he misspeaks wayyy too often but idrc about that
Mf said Kyrie & Brown wasn’t selected due to floor spacing. When they both space the floor.
Kawhi with DPOY and 2 FMVPs isn’t an All Time Great …. The Math ain’t Mathing
Saying kawhi isn’t that good is behind wild. And what player in the nba you see being a kawhi ??? He got paid his market value. Business is business.
I don't know how him and George are still getting new contracts
He bouta not play all season again this is a sign
That raptors championship was annoying i was in cana for my dad vewing and surrounded by raps fan it was annoying
What I be telling people. He's not as once was, but he was really good once. It's okay. He's not good now, last decade news. It's okay.
Acting like kawhi wasn’t hooping this year is wild LOW
He need to retire. Bro is fragile and hasn’t been the same since Toronto.
They should have spent that money on PG for sure
