Playoff P had 4pts in a Playoff game period.
Right, Kawhi did almost as much without playing, he's definitely the better player.
Kawhi is better but not THAT much better. You could say PG is more valuable because he is more available than Kawhi
“I’m NOT Broussard You Not gunna BULLY Me”‼️🤣😂
It he don’t bully him at all dummy
That really took me out 😂😂😂 this guy crazy
😂
Shaun is wrong on his take, but give Rob no quarter.
😂
KAWHI LEONARD'S biggest mistake was leaving the 2019 NBA Champion TORONTO RAPTORS!!! 🤷🏾♂️
💯☝🏼
Kawhi's biggest mistake was forcing Clippers to trade for PG. They would have had SGA and 5 picks instead of PG.
He did y’all a favor 😂😂he only plays Part time
@@donbutler149 Yah we know ....he won us a championship playing "part time " 🤷🏾♂️ We just had better management and better trainers which I'm sure he's now realizing. 😆
@@donbutler149 🤣
“Take out injuries” lmao good luck with that 😂😂
RIGHT!!
If you can take out the injuries, you can surely take out the 2014 Finals that he didn't outshine anyone.
Rob living in Fantasy Land with that BS.
Paul George hasn't even been to an
NBA Finals before ..
He has been to a few Conference Finals before tho ..
I understand this arguement. But that was 6 years ago and multiple injuries for Kawhi since then. He has had a great career but that doesn’t mean he is the same player now. The gap between him and PG isnt a wide margin
He took the Clippers to the only conference finals that they've ever been to lol What Kawhi did on his old teams should be irrelevant.
They'd of been screwed either way though imo, you're not winning with James Harden as your point guard
@@MindMan424 That has more to do with the teammates surrounding him than his abilities.
@@jamesealey8060 understand, but you can't erase his championships, FMVPs, & DPOY awards lol. Kawhi also made 2nd team All-NBA this past season so the Clippers actually got him on a discount all things considered.
@@26pctfrom3 Paul George literally always picks the worst times to have his worst moments.
The way Kawhai has gotten hurt in the playoffs after all that load management it's becoming a trend. If that happens again this year he should hang it up.
hang up 200millions yeah sure
@@hangtime1111 and here is why people don’t like todays super stars. They don’t care about the game.
@@davidramos4317You really believe Kawhi Leonard and other athletes do not care about the game? Stop it!!!
@@davidramos4317he won finals mvp twice.. And players care you think Lebron doesn't care you think he puts in all the effort and doesnt care
Just like Ben Simmons , “he got a check to cash”
No PG = more shots for Powell & others.. they’ll be fine
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😊😅😅😅😅😂😂😂
How is Shaun King trying to compare what OKC is doing now to when they had KD/Russ/Harden. Last time I checked they haven’t been to a finals or won a championship 🤷🏾♂️
This guy actually said PG is the same as Kawhi in 2024😂☝🏼
Moronic statement, didn't care about a word he said after that lol
Show me their stats and availability in 2024???
Show me their career stats???
I have seen PG score 15 n 13 points in the mavs series he is certified booty
Nobody views PG The same as Kawhi… He’s delusional
Kawhi is Mr. Glass. With how little he plays, he is not worth it.
@@JohnSmith-nj4zq Kawhi lost significant value after Toronto in my eyes.🤔 🤷♂️
@@26pctfrom3Toronto was the last time he played through injury. Now he got the ring and money so if anything bothers him he just won’t play
@@straightfacts6482 Ppl pay to actually see their favorite player play basketball. If that's what his mentality is, he should Just retire then. What's the difference between Bronny & Kawhi, both are stealing a young kids opportunity...?🤔🤷♂️
kawhi got them pg and harden thats his value
@@xavierb9061 So he's a recruiter. 🤔🤷♂️🤣
Shaun been holding it down!! He should be on the show more often.
"You're not going to bully me, I'm not Klutch Broussard!" 😂🤣😂🤣
A lot of people criticizing the Clippers are acting like they wouldn’t sign Kawhi coming off the 2019 Finals MVP win.
It's trading Shai and all the other assets for PG that looks really bad. OKC built a hell of a team off that heist.
@@Travis89-ob5tt You forgot Kawhi DEMANDED that the Clippers trade for PG or he wont sign with them, OKC knew they was going to get a ransom from the Clippers.
@@Travis89-ob5tteasy to say that in 2024. but did you think Shai would be mvp contender in 2019, be honest.
It’s the fact that they resigned him after being hurt every damn year
@@Nate101izationBingo!
Rob is right, Paul isn't like Kahwi, Paul plays more.
Paul got em to the wcfs kawhi hasnt.. Kawhi healthy is the best but the thing is he might not even be that guy anymore
Not much more and hes inferior in every other way. Theyre kinda the same guy but paul isnt as kawhi as kawhi
Reggie Jackson did more than Paul George ever has for the Clippers
@iguesss Paul George took the clippers to the wcfs.. So no this is not at all true
@@mattwhitely1067 3 years ago with a stacked team and kawhi played in the first two series.. Trae Young has been to the Conference Finals too..
Shaun was 10 toes down "you not gonna bully me" 😂😂😂 chris woulda been on his lightskin emotional stuff
Pretty sure he said Paul George when he meant Paul Pierce.
In my opinion, Paul George and Kawhai value to a team is practically equal at this point. Yes, Kawhai has 2 rings and DPOY, but he hasn't been that guy in 5-6 years. With his injuries and age, he doesn't bring the same value to a team that he used to.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 he said "in the playoffs, Kawhi looked really nice on the bench."
Did that dude just say that Paul George was on the Celtics with Ray Allen, KG and Rondo? 💀
One guy you can't count on to play in the playoffs and the other guy you can't count on to perform at a high level in the playoffs. Get rid of both!
Move on with both of them, Paul George will turn into George Paul when it matters most!! They are better off without him!
They don’t have any draft picks until 2030. So ya this is Their team
He surely is better off with kawhi...lmao
Pandemic P is at it again. He wants 200 million but has nothing to show for it. He made it to one WCF. Not to mention the blown 3-1 lead to Denver.
The only reason they made it was that Kawhi went berserk in the Dallas series on both ends of the floor. He had to switch to Luka because PG was getting cooked.
Man Who Never Plays Upset At Offer Of Millions To Never Play
Rob is absolutely right about these athletes and their podcasts. If Paul George put in as much work as he did his podcast he would be a hell of a player
Rob is a 🤡 and a LeBron hater
He is mad about the podcast thing because it kills his business. People would rather listen to the athlete who actually plays the game not some journo who makes up theories.
@@Ineedrentmoneyso ignore his truthful assesment?
It’s basketball. They are millionaires who cares
@@hexagonoctogon3140 what's true? Paul George does a podcast once a week of which he is not the editor and the pods lasts less than 3 hours. There are 168 hours per week which means PG is literally spending less than 2% of the hours in a week on a podcast. Even if we say he spends half of the hours in a week sleeping then he still only spends 4% of his productive time on a podcast. Do you think he is jerking off during the rest of the 96% of the working hours he has in a week? It's simple math which even a grade school student can do. Rob is mad that PG does more numbers with 1 episode per week than what Rob does posting almost every week day.
Wow, Chris didn’t show up to work? Rarely do I see Rob put the team on his back.
I'm just glad I drafted Paul George in my nba fantasy league. PG played more games and lowkey ranked 11th overall in those games in 9 category formats last season. filling up the stat sheet defensively and offensively at an efficient rate and was available for the most part.
King is talking like he played 😮
listening to football players talk about basketball is diabolical
Paul George tweakin
Rob can’t get it through his head that people watch athletes podcast to hear athletes chop it up. Not for their journalism background. Rob is just mad they have reach and can control their own narratives
facts. their podcasts offer talking points that regular sports media just can't touch/
@@realspitter2727 Rob can’t get on those pods.
He's wrong. Clippers really should've paid him the full max and looked to trade him later. Instead they lost him for nothing and have no way of replacing him
Thats a hell of a gamble. Keep in mind the max is higher for the same team then if the player leaves and with his injury history that could quickly become a poison pill. Signing him as an asset is ruthless as well because youd have to lie to him and say "we want you here for the future blah blah blah. We believe we can win a championship with you..". What they did was honorable because resigning him would have held a player that hasnt won hostage in an unwinable situation.
@@macalloway1PG knows what it is. He even said on his podcast if he takes 3 yrs which was a 60 mil paycut, he wants a no trade clause. But if they give him the 4th year then if they traded him, he at least has the contract he wanted. The problem is their previous mistakes of trading away all their picks is what makes them in an unwinnable situation. They can't tank cuz they'll only make OKC better. They are now worst without PG. Even with his injury history they were at least making the playoffs. Now they are possibly a lottery team with that lottery pick going to OKC in a deep draft
clips should have gave him the no trade clause. You can say Kawhi is better but who is the more desired player in a trade. That's PG over Harden and Kahwi for different reasons. So I get PG's position. If something goes south, PG the first one out the door via trade.
The mistake wasn’t not re-signing him. The mistake was trading for him and giving up so much.
If they offered him the same price as Kawhi he would sign in early in the season. The mistake was they took a gamble and it backfired
Rob took the L here trying to defend Kawhi
“Mr Glass” Leonard.
Rob Parker please don’t bully your co-workers 😂
There is a big cap between Kawhi & PG when both healthy 😂😂😂
PG is more valuable than Kawhi. Kawhi is ALWAYS hurt.
😅😅😅😅
You sound ridiculous
@@H20XWell Tell Us The Last Time He Played A Full Series 😂
@@H20X Why because Kawhi is your favorite player? 🤔
He nailed it- it’s a business most teams don’t want to win they want to do business then win and it shows, if u all in you have to do everything to win regardless of the business (Warriors,Raptors,Lakers,Celtics) etc
Chris and Rob are terrified of the Players having podcasts because it is Exposing the over Paid Sports Talking Heads for what they truly are, clueless. The Clippers are not better off with either and they should have just accepted that and started over.
What good are Kawhi’s rings if he didn’t win any of them with them???
Rob right ! OkC did it cuz it’s a small market team. I woulda traded both of them But it’s LA you gotta keep Kwai for business.
Fraud Parker has to promote the clippers because that’s his script, he’s a puppet/pawn
reaching
On push back, the Clippers paid them the same deal before. So PG expected it again...
Facts 💯 plus the no-trade since the clippers were acting funny
Rob is wrong. I dont understand how you can continue to reward guys who dont play. Youre sending the message to the rest of the team that durability and playing hard every game doesnt really matter. Creates a losing mentality.
Bro PG missed the last 2 years of playoffs. He plays one and yall fall in love with him.. stop. 140 games missed
@@iguesss maybe you misunderstood. Im saying players like george and kawhi dont deserve to get paid like max players. It sends the wrong message to the rest of the team that availability doesnt really matter
So glad to hear someone besides Chris push back on Rob’s BS. Rob acting like Kawhi resume as a Clipper is somehow leaps and bounds over PG’s. They both literally the same guy, injuries and all. Clippers tried a home run and stuck out with those two. Time to start fresh
Same guy? No way. Mentally they’re not in the same stratosphere. Kawhi is a better on ball and help defender. I’m a clippers fan . I look at the games and listen to analysis of other clipper fans. KL is more efficient offensively.
You know nothing about basketball. Kawaii carried a team to win a chip. What did pg do?
@@TheSoulstar7 mentally? Please stop bro. Kawhi ain’t locked anybody down in 5 years.
@@BETTALIFE101 who? 😂😂 can’t even spell the man’s name right but you coming for me. OK bro!
@@_CPerk lol watch basketball before speaking
Paul George isn't no Kawhi by far and always crumble in moments and we will have more evidence if Paul George doesn't win a chip with the 76rs
I thought steve wanted to win for the clippers,, he cant be on the sideline going crazy anymore and he tanking,, when steve ballmar dropped his head on pg missed free throw and put his face in his hands ,, it was a damn moment
To stay with Kawhi over anyone is crazy!! He doesn’t play a complete season😂😂
He rarely plays half a season.
There really is a significant gap tho
They better off without PG until Kawhi isn’t available which is almost always the case 😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you Rob
I like this guy. He looked real nice on the bench😂😂😂
Rob is right.. drop Shaun king 😢
30m for 2 years disrespectful?? Jeez
Yup, just to sit down and not play
"Probably about the same" ????? 🤨
Dude must have watched 0 games this year, Kawhi was 2nd team all nba and better than PG in literally every statistical category. Only played 6 more games too. No wonder the views aren't there for y'all
6:03 Shaun King says there's not significant gap between a healthy Kawhi & a healthy Paul George.
Football guys talking basketball will generally cause anyone to lose braincells.
😂😂😂😂😂 u not gonna bully me
Best part
PG13 was straight up Lying about everything he said and if you listen to his whole Whining you'll notice him catching him ownself in his own lies.
Bruh Clippers fumbled, they even fumbled on the warriors deals for PG and he ended up leaving for nothing after they paid an injury prone player to stay.
paul runs up and down taking the franchise to the first ever WCF appearance in history while kawhi sits and watch. What kawhi two rings doing to help them win
Neither are worth it
Rob is right. From a business standpoint you need to have something to sell. OKC doesn't have the Lakers in their town either. Understand nobody thought SGA would become what he is today. He was the 11th pick of Charlotte. He was immediately traded for Miles Bridges. OK. But after the Clips had him in their camp for a year they traded him and gave up the world in other assets. Jalen Williams was one of the assets. When you tear it down you got to get lucky too. You got to hit on those picks. There are no guarantees.
Without Chris, Rob is turning into Chris, constantly interrupting his own guest and talking over them as if they know nothing.
Here after Kawhi announced he's leaving Team USA for fear of worsening his injuries. Clippers should have paid who?????😂😂😂😂
Great debate I agree on both arguments if the clippers can rebuild right now but since they can't bottom out but OKC got their pick this next 2 yrs so I agree more on Rob but I think if clippers can go back they should have traded Paul George last year when he has more value and dont trade for harden
They were dumb as hell to pay Kawahi again because he’s been a part time superstar his entire career 😂
I agree new building new team. Start over
Kawhi is not Kobe lmao. Even after Kobe was hurt and wasn’t the same anymore he was still box office and people would go just to see him. Nobody is going “man kawhi is playing I gotta go see”. So should the clippers just waste 3 years to sell a couple extra tickets and then begin the likely 4+ year process of rebuilding the team ? That sounds like backwards business to me
Shaun King it’s just wrong bro there is a significant gap between Kawhi and and PG Kawhi could’ve gotten pass the Suns by himself and just look when he tried to come back for the Mavs series and everything just revolved around him why? Because he’s just that good when healthy a walking 30 point terminator
2 years for 60 is disrespectful to George 😭
Clippers have reloaded and got a lot better defensively and work ethic & speed & heart & IQ & SWAGGER. Top 4 teams last playoffs, Minn-Boston- Dallas-Knicks...... with defensive prowess. They wasn't "speciallllllllll offensively, they was just solid. They was SPECIAL DEFENSIVELYYYYYYYY
Rob is so funny that I listen to him to laugh not to hear his opinions
No clippers should have traded Kawhi. Kawhi cant stay healthy and it's crazy. Rob Kawhi is not the answer. In his prime kawhi was him and when healthy. But he's never healthy but playing for team usa. But Rob is correct about Podcasts
The title alone says alot!!!!! The clippers are better with a person who only plays 20 games a season than a guy who plays his heart out?? You old media guys are so out of touch with what's going on
Kawhi played 68 reg season games last year.
PG is more available than Kawhi but PG is ass. He couldn’t guard Luka or Kyrie and had hard time scoring against role players like PJ Washington and Jones JR. Kawhi is never healthy but when he is on the court he is monster 😂
They are silly for not running it back. Did they just see who won the chip? Tatum and Brown! Who you car argue are younger versions of PG and Kawhi. How did they do it? By continuing to run it back
Both are right, parker is right on the clippers did right to keep kawhi for this season, try to play him and trade him as soon as you can. They investment to much on both to not get anything. The thunder got rid of his big 3 but not on the same time, you get rid of this team but in the nba is dificult to make a sell like mlb, it has to be a process that take more than one season
Great job Shaun
Facts 💯 no bullying on his watch
clippers didnt want to give 4 years to pg or kawhi. gave kawhi 3 years 150. pg wanted 4 years so he offered he would take 3 years and no trade clause or 4 years. obviously cant give pg better deal than kawhi so pg just rejected the 3 year deal they offered him
Agree Rob Parker....most of the ex-players podcasts are indecipherable. Try listening to Gil Arenas' pod and figure out what he is saying.
Paul george turn down a two year contract worth 60 million
That's how greedy these nba players are today
I get Rob’s point about podcasts but Gilbert Arenas podcast is different 😂 they argue all the time even about the most ridiculous stuff
Rob talks like he really understands every fan 😂 ain’t nobody thinking about Khawi’s Spurs ring where he wasn’t that guy and the ring in Toronto against a Golden State team that was decimated. He barely plays when it matters
Love how rob is basically saying the clippers kept Leonard so they can sell tickets in a new arena...who's going to a game to watch KL play?? This ain't Toronto KL..
Shawn I like you Bro but your WRONG on this! The Clippers made the RIGHT decision on keeping Kawhi and letting Paul go. They HAD to have the best superstar to open up their new arena for the fans to go there for!
PG all of a sudden was available in a contract year 😂. Stop it. These new dudes are business men first.
if the clippers aren't winning a championship then why have the guy with 2? will that really matter?
That analyst is correct, I wouldn't have paid Khawhi either; rebuild. Aedin
Rob is rite as usual.
I think it was the right decision to move on a least a little. I would take kawhi every day over PG. Now they can try to be deeper and younger. There will be a lot of cap space when Kawhi retires.
Who's man's is this on the right side? PG is the same as Kawhi in 24? Healthy!? 😂😂😂 Did we forget the face Kawhi did on PG when he was in Toronto?
How bout yall play the whole clip SMH... They offered what they gave Claw.... Go listen 2 Paul's podcast people
Rob performs better when Chris isn’t there lmao
I agree with Rob. Kawhi got paid, Paul George got paid, they both got hurt all the time and didn't get the job done with the Clippers. I am a Kawhi fan, but I gotta keep it real. They didn't give Ballmer bang for his buck.
I’m taking a injured Kawhi over PG any day!! When he’s available he’s 10 times better than PG!
This stupid FO got themselves fleeced by trading Batum, RoCo, KJ Martin, Mook expiring contracts, draft picks, and eventually PG for Harden and Tucker.
No wonder they never had a clue on building a proper playoff level starting lineup!
Can you imagine Kawhi and AD getting injured in the Olympics and US ends up with Bronze again?
Just sit down if you're always hurt, help your team instead.
@@pauljoseph3081 what about Embiid?
@@_CPerk that would make France happy
They are more of a match then Rob and Chris
You can't leave out the fact that PG underperforms every playoffs.
Rob is correct
I love how Rob gets on players podcasts for the takes they have and then sits up there and says this BS for those trying to justify paying Kawhi and not PG becuase of 2 chips and 2 finals mvp's that have nothing to do with the Clippers current predicament and the reason why yall reach for stats from 5+ years ago is because Kawhi has nothing to show for during his tenure as a Clipper so to justify one and not pay the other is SUPER HYPOCRITICAL and its beyoyng ridiculous considering how much was given away to bring him to the Clippers in the first place so to me at least a sign and trade based on how philly paid him they might've traded for him happily
Id rather have Kuzma or Brandon Ingram.. or both for the price PG was looking for
