Soft era basketball stories are lame🤣🤣 you said the expectations were for PG and Kawhi to sit out the 2nd game of that back to back....Nooooooooooo, the expectations are for players to ACTUALLY PLAY THE DAMN GAMES🤣🤣👎👎👎
What hat is that..
JJ Reddick is worse than plumbers and stockbrokers combine😂
Jj big fan, those two needs get to ballin and a lots less talking........
JJ, big Duke Fan, and truly appreciate your Pod.
You can tell PG really respects and admires Kawhi
PG was up 3-2 on the Heat...him losing that series and only shooting 10 shots game 7 with the Thunder shows he wants to be a number 2....they barley played together past 2 years and he still goes out the way to defer to someone who has never played two days in a row with
*Facts* cause when JJ said Kawhi is the best 2way player when healthy; he could’ve taken offense to that but instead gave props
Grown man admires another grown man idk bro 😂
@@Yolaboibamm sounds like a you problem my g, if you can’t admire someone else hard work/talent it says a lot about you as a man/person
@@Yolaboibamm yeah bro you sound super insecure.
He’s definitely the wing version of Tim Duncan lol
What makes it funnier is the fact they played together
No Duncan actually played
No he's not T. D., he's a cybernetic organism!
Bro Tim was a different animal 5 finals bro 🤷🏾♂️ Tim and Kobe are neck in neck in my book
He is a thief who steals money from fans. Mj never got paid if he didn't sing.
Kawhi Leonard is silent but he's a cold blooded talent his emotional awareness is top notch his presence makes anything possible 🥶
emotional awareness?
5 losses in a row
@@Changedagain not anymore 😂 carried the 4th quarter
Bro really said emotional awareness 😂
😂😂 you not wrong
Kawhi’s father was taken out right in front of his own eyes... no amount of trash talk will stop a guy who has experienced that kind of scene and grown from it.
That’s def a fact
facts
Based on what I just read, it wasn't in front of his own eyes, but it was a tragedy that occurred when Kawhi was a teenager. I'm sure it left quite an impact.
@@adumbbergyea he wasn’t there
@IsaacShnow which honestly might have hurt even more
I live in Toronto and what kawhi did for the city that day we will be forever thankful and grateful for that championship and I was in the arena when he hit that shot from the corner was so loud it shook the building
But look at PGs Hair though ? 😂😅😅😅
Are you Indian?
You do know if Kd and Klay hadn’t went down ,y’all was on pace to get swept . That’s Toronto last chip😂
@@mr.anderson6292 sound salty
@@mr.anderson6292 get over it
"He's a surgeon, there's precision, there's no wasted movement" (on Kawhi) 💯💯💪🏽😎👍🏼
yeah, but as analogy, this serves for a robot too.
i scrolled to this comment as soon as he said it in the video :0
Kobe said the same thing about MJ
That video showing Kawhi locking up LeBron in the Finals was awesome, same for the Giannis getting locked up one also. When Kawhi is healthy, he’s simply one of the best two way players of all time. He can score from the midrange, outside, drive; he can be a perimeter or inside defender; he’s great in transition. Love watching him play when he’s at his best. His jumpshot is funny too because it looks so robotic and stiff but it just goes in somehow. The ball doesn’t really arc, it’s like he’s determined the optimal angle to not waste time in the air and he just hits it.
locking up is an exaggeration. Only lebron was playing at an elite level in that '14 miami team. Giannis literally saw a 3 man wall everytime he had the ball.
@@MultiKillerface exactly!!!
@@MultiKillerfaceright… idky ppl insist on saying he locked bron up. He didn’t. Bron averaged 27, 7, 8. Jesus Christ

So many can’t/refuse to comprehend the truth you spoke.
They don't talk trash because they don't want him to focus on them
Congrats, Captain.
You don't see him in fights or really confrontations, even. It's like they know they will be seen as the bad guy, the instigator. It would get them an immediate bad reputation.
Why talk to him if you know he's only said like 5 words since 2011
And 4 out of the 5 words were "ha ha ha ha"
??.
Apple time apple time
People found a reason to talk trash to Duncan knowing he wouldn't say much back
😂☠️
Kawhi is one of my absolute all time favorite athletes . I’m 66 yrs old and he inspires me to where I went and bought a basketball just to imitate his mid range game. Arthritis in my big toe prevents me from wandering further than mid range anyway. I love his game and razor focus.
🙏🏽
@@Rkrsmoke1 I hear ya. I hope he stays healthy
You still got it OG🔥
my man raymond hell yeah
Kawhi is my favorite athlete of all time. I started playing basketball because of him. Nice to see people that share the same feeling
The fact that he can shoot so well with his hand size is insane.
Easy too throw the ball in the hoop
How is that insane hand size has nothing to do with how well you shoot
@@versatillion15 Yes it does scientifically, name 1 player who can shoot good with hands bigger than a foot whose not named Michael Jeffery Jordan. Literally No one else, the next best is like giannis and we all know how below average he is at shooting (I love Giannis).
Not being able to shoot with big hands is a myth. It’s actually easier
@@itzchaos2181 kawahi, kd, Yao Ming, rondo improved during the second half of his career
Kawhi has sneaky athleticism. Because he isn't flashy, you don't realize how strong, fast, and explosive he is. Then add in his tenacious mind set, it wears people down.
yup, he once ran through maxi kleber like he was nothing, didn't even slow down
One of the most under appreciated Superstars ever
Lol he is definitely is appreciated at the perfect level...he literally plays basketball when he feels like it these days
@@originaltroll7511 ain’t his fault though he’s had a lingering injury since 2017 and he’s gonna retire early due to it most likely
@@alexescutia4805 either that or more 55 game seasons. And I love him and his game.
Sigh. I knew someone would be up in here talking this "under-appreciated" nonsense.
Bro he’s top two when healthy i hate how people down play him he’s him i just hate how this load management keeps him about all the time
Facts he's a silent assassin
Assassins are silent supposedly.
I agree, he's definitely underrated in his presence. His Toronto run proves it.
His toronto run? They only won bc kd (and klay) got injured. 🤣
People say hes like a robot, but imo he is one of the biggest characters in the league and probably the Most admireable. never talks more than he needs to, no Show and just lets his actions do the talking. A true role model
He rarely plays dawg
@@MakaveliDior It's amazing that people still criticize him for this, given how clear it is just how disciplined and focused he is, and given how much success he's had. His body just isn't that durable for this sport, so he just keeps having issues, and load management is a very useful strategy for dealing with that.
It just amazes me how people can still question his competitiveness or disrespect him after what he's accomplished. He was doing load management already in the season that he played for Toronto, and it seemed to work quite well for them!
@@syncmonism it’s not that his body isn’t durable, people injure him. Zara and then later on Ingles. Both injuries being serious. It’s not like Anthony Davis where he hurt himself falling or just catching a ball.
true disciple and new generation version of timmy duncan
@@kanoyim7072 Facts, that Zaza injury was the beginning of the worst for his body. It was so dirty too. I remember that moment vividly because the Warriors were getting WAXED and Kawhi had their number all season long.
He's among my all-time favorite. No hype...just an absolute assassin on the court, does everything exceptional, when healthy.
😎👌👁️👂💯♥️🙏
They don't because he won't give them a response lol simple as that..
They dont trash talk him cuz he dont play
Who talks trash to a nice guy…
Haha
Kawhi be like "Does not compute" 😂
@@fjo9492(Laughs in Android)
Kawhi Leonard's midrange game and how he attacks reminds me of Michael Jordan. He is like a surgeon like Paul says. When he needs to take a 3pt, he does. When he needs to slash, he does.
It's just Kawhi isn't on the floor enough.
Yea and injuries
JJ said he was a surgeon but ye
He does, had many of his mannerisms
With him on our squad in 2019, the whole city of Toronto knew we were headed for a championship before the season was halfway through due to the presence of Kawhi changing the culture of an already great team for the better.
We've witnessed his greatness here in Toronto first hand 💯
Last ring y’all gonna get too😂😂😂
@@jobe7504 lol we’ll get another one in 24 years
@@jobe7504 at least they have one I’m a Knicks fan 😂 so idk what you thought you were doing with that
@@jobe7504 we're happy with that since we were never ever predicted to win 1 in our team's existence
If it won't for kd being hurt yall would've had nun
Kawhi on the court doing freaky things and nobody else has an explanation for it…..bravo kawhi, salute
kawhi is a lockdown 7ft 3 wingspan and solid with big hands they dont want that problem
its like jordan and pippen rolled into one player when hes at his best.
I always wonder why lebron can’t do anything against him his strength can match any one
@@Defense701 what are you talking about? Lol
@@OGC558 he’s talking about what we’ve seen. Go watch the video where Kawhi checks in and Lebron like F! Cause he doesn’t want Kawhi to guard him……
@@geniuzg ...Lebron avgs 25 8 and 7 vs Kawhi lol. What video are you talking about?
he hasn't been lock down since 2017
The claw is the ultimate STOIC never to high never to low in his demeanor goes about his work methodical . I enjoy his play two way players aren’t always the most flashy but they make bigger impact on the game when working on all cylinders.
He mentions trash talking at 3:15
Because guy is cool, calm, simple and humble
Kawhi understands angles and he doesn't move at 100% because that's not efficient. So he baits you into thinking you beat him and he will still very much be in the play. I've seen other guys do it. He's faster than you think. He may also move in a way that makes you under estimate his length and ability to reach
because he has strong legs
When Kawhi is healthy and on the floor, he's arguable top 3 in the world.
Na not top 3 he's arguably the best
At his best he is number 1 basically hes Giannis with Shooting
@@miorionomichi ok, that’s a crazy comparison.
@huey freeman how? His best average is 26. Ppg that aint the best
@@B.Piercesports their play styles are completely different on the offensive side, Giannis is a dominant bruising slasher while kawhi is more of a mid range specimen
PG is one of a kind player too tbh. i hope he knows that. The fact he was able to come back from such a gruesome leg injury. And still play at a MVP caliber level. Who else does that?! snapped his leg completely. PG is inhuman
Prob my favorite Athlete/hooper because of how he carries himself. I'll never forget growing up as a mavs fan the year he got hurt, or it might have been the year before, he came to Dallas when he was still with the Spurs and he was going nuts and I'm like okay this guy has taken his game to another level.
same, i just wish he played more. i love how compact his game is. no wasted motion or energy. just does enough to get to his spot and create space.
Load managing is admirable?
@@Kevinschart ck out Oscar Robertson. He's like him in a lot of ways.
💯
@@antcantcook960 get over it. Its a huge thing now…everywhere, in every team.
Kawhi leaving San Antonio was a tragedy. With his temperament and professionalism, he was born to play for Pop and the Spurs. They were preparing to build that team around him, and him leaving set them back 5-10 years. We’ll see if Wemby can shorten the timeframe on their rebuild
Actually for what he’s done after he left the Spurs as great as he was there mannn Nobody knew that it was a Straight SuperStar that was waiting to be unleashed. They actually held him back.
Yeah he might've won us another ring but his availability would've also set us back. It's a good thing.
@@MrLyricJunkiehe wasn’t in his prime then. 2017 kawhai was very good.
Kawhi is my favourite player ever and in my opinion the best player in the league when healthy but the way things worked out yall got Wemby and that kid literally has goat potential.
Kawhi and Tim Duncan have very similar public personalities. I know they both lost parents at a young age. Maybe that has something to do with it.
they just don't give out their personality while conducting business. Both of them are great guys behind closed doors, with their people.
That's a great theory.
JJ please get Kawhi on your podcast!! I'm sure he has a ton of insight and stories to share, not to mention the constant jokes, according to Pat Bev haha
That's never gonna happen 😂. Kawhi hate interviews.
Huehuehue is the only thing hell say bruv
It would instantly go viral. And if you can get him to talk over an hour would be impressive. You would be on the way if The KLAW come to the pod and let’s loose.
@@floatingacrossgems2811 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 someone tag Kevin heart in this for unending jokes
@@floatingacrossgems2811 Couldn't agree more. Kawhi is like the final boss, if JJ can get him to open up and get his takes on other players, memes, etc. then JJ will be able to get any interview he wants from there. He can unlock all the post-game content 🎮😂
When Kawhi Leonard is healthy, I think he’s the best two way player in basketball. When you break down game film, it may sound crazy to some people but he’s one of the best players ever to touch a basketball. He is so strong he’s got that freakish wiry, Jon Jones Alex Pereira type strength that doesn’t even make sense. There are so many times he only gets two or three fingers on a ball and it’s stronger than a guy who’s gripping it with both hands. It allows him to one hand, the ball in Ways I’ve never seen. It also allows him to defend guys that are much bigger and it not tire him out.
We need you back out here with this squad. Let's go JJ!!!🔥🔥🔥
Just wanna say that the PG interview has been very entertaining, great stuff as always JJ
This was crazy insightful and fun. I love Kawhi and hearing this about him was beautiful
Kawhi is mentally strong. Green tried some of his dumb tactics on him, but Kawhi ran thru them like a warm up drill… had Green laughing at himself.
Which green? Draymond?
@@cybersteel8 lantern😂😅
Goblin
Arrow
Green I think has the last laugh here. He's got the winning record against Kawhi.
Kahwi is criminally underrated, I don't care what anyone says
He’s great when he’s on the floor
@@CrazyLocoInsane1 He sure is
He’s overrated if anything. Everybody knows he’s one of the top dudes when he’s healthy, but that does not matter because he doesn’t stay on the floor.
@@Isoquant Ok
never been underrated lol
This was pure gold to watch. Thank you to both parties.
As a Mavs fan I can say for sure that the Clippers with a healthy Kawhi are scary AF
You got your own cyborg out there in Luka. Great players.
I love Kwahi Leonard, very much ❤❤❤.Very down to earth. He never want to have a trouble with the Nba players👍
Kawhi is the perfect embodiment of what a professional player should be. Hardworker, focused, humble, ultimate team mate.
He is the opposite of most of today's entitled athletes, in any sports.
Define "entitled athelete"
and no IG 🤣
He even does not complain with refs
He literally forced his way off the spurs and did some shady deals to go to the clippers. Also load management is a bane because of mainly him. Great guy, elite player, definitely entitled
@@kc12370you’re not entitled just because you don’t want to play for a team … teams trade away players without their consent all the time
I’m a Bron fan but i’ll always remember that finals when Kawhi checked in and Bron literally mouthed “F*ck” cause he knew he was gettin’ locked up 😂. Prime Kawhi pre-injury was 6’8 MJ on defense.
Edit: Don’t bother looking at the replies. Has nothing to do with this comment 😂
Kawhi locked the hell out giannis too. And he locked up luka doncik. All in the playoffs my friend. And scored like 30 on joel embiid and ben Simmons bumbaclaat headand then kawhi obliterated steph curry and klay Thompson.
AVERAGING OVER 28 GAME IS NOT LOCKING NOBODY UP
@@RodC1987 nobody gets locked up but he definitely slowed him down
@@DanielIsraelite lol, locked up Luka ? Man ? What ? When has Kawhi lock these players up when. He started playing more offensive ?
That wasn’t the same clip it was Edited
The last bit that PG said was what best describes Kawhi and what separates him from the other great defenders like PG himself.
When healthy, he is right up there with Giannis and KD as Top 3 players in the league. I really wish we see more of him.
Nah trae young is better cuz he has a deeper bag than all 3
Lol, none of those guys are top 3. Well, Giannis probably.
id argue jokic is tied with giannis for 1st place
embiid is 1
I dont think so
The title says it all… much respect from the whole league. Don’t nobody want to be matched up with Kawhi
Because khawi Leonard is a respected and reserved player.he always cool in is action
Kawhi is a great guy. He's a killer on the court. Trash talk doesn't haze him and he never talks trash either.
I like Kawhi bc hes such a fun guy
Corny
🤣🤣 I agree
@@robertdepesci3418 Your mom is corny get a sence of humor
6:22 is so accurate. Anytime Kawhi gets a crazy block I’m always confused how it happened. Extremely fast, stealthy hands
Honestly, I never paid attention to him at all - I'm an MJ and Kobe guy. However, when he won it in toronto, I was SOOOO jacked for him and the city. I LOVE TORONTO, and Canada! I have family there and have been there many times - Vancouver to Toronto. When he put Toronto on his back, it reminded my of MJ back in the day. True legend in his OWN right!
Man PG is one of the humblest dudes out there.
Thank you for the Kawhi questions!
Love that it’s just basketball all the time…well done JJ
His wing and the ability to play the game is amazing and other players wont talk trash to him because they know KL will beat them in both ways mentally and with his game..and his defense with his long arms make it a lot harder to pass over him so the claw is real deal when he is fully healthy can take you far I. The playoffs..
As long as I’ve been watching ball and as long as kawhi been my fav player I never heard anybody say KL not that it’s a big deal but thanks for tht twin😂💯
Still waiting for Kawhi mic’d up
spoiler: he's been mic'd up every game, technicians triple-checked the equipment but could not find any problems
@@dasiro😂
I just loooove to watch how effective Kawhi can be when he is at his best. It makes the special things he does look just so much better.. even when it comes to his ballhandling and skill moves. He all does that in such a small box.
I Highly Respect P.G For Sure Hes Not A Hater And ReaL Honest Dude 💯🏀
Dope clip
Absolutely no one in nba history could shut down your best player at every position and also give you 25 in the same night Kawhi has been doing that
Facts 💯
Bill Russell could do something about as good. He was probably an even better defensive and rebounding player, but his scoring touch wasn't as good.
Prime bron?
I mean are we really still doubting the greatness of Scottie Pippen?! I mean, I know he been Wilding lately but he would hard the best player and drop 25 smooth with it
You're 12 years old don't talk kid
'is he made of steel?'
well, the man is a cyborg.
What a GREAT episode!
That a real friend fasho how he was so happy to compliment his teammate
Imagine if Kawhi spoke/trash talked the way Draymond does and just had that same mentality/came across the same way. Players would straight FEAR that man 😂
They do anyway. Since he's quiet, no need to for banter or get emotionally worked up.
He’d be MJ
They fear Kawhi more right now
honestly tho, and much more so than kobe
Kawhi is one of a kind player he is my idol and i like his quit atitude
Love the pod 👏🏿
Man much respect to Paul for keepin it 1000
When kawhi really wants to try he really is unstoppable I remember in the playoffs against the mavs he scored 30 pts til halftime with out missing a shot
PG is absolutely right in saying that the person that's matched up with Kawhi that night knows that it's gonna be a rough night against him lol 😆
Very nice. Much respect. Three professionals talking highly about their crafts.
I actually dont know about this player so now I will binge this apparent legend.
When I first seen him playing on that first Spurs team in the playoffs with the Spurs Championship I knew I was witnessing H.O.F. GREATNESS EMERGE.👏👏👏👍
“His fingers stretch further” 6:24 idk why that has me weak 😂
YES SIR, SO TRUE
maybe people can realize this or not but kawhi is locked in on both offense and defense before his game and match up on the team he is going against and he works hard on and off the court from many types of positions this is why I like him.
One day someone will get Kawhi on a podcast…. I wanna see someone pick his brain
that’ll be a short podcast
For real If anyone it’s gotta b jj I know he’s tried.
I bet he won’t do it until he wins another finals
A cyborg doesn't have one
Nah bro kawhi gone be a Tim Duncan
Why don't you like playing basketball even though you could of been a all time great?
Hope we see Kwahi stay injury free and back to that Raptors form. Cauz when he's on he is MJ like
Been enjoying Paul George's commentary
JJ: *BREATHES*
PG: *NODS HEAD CONSTANTLY*
Just for the thought of having to expand energy by opening his mouth and talking back, kawhi becomes enraged scoring and play shutdown defense on stars.
Injured kawhi has the loadmanagement debuff but an healthy kawhi sheeesh that guy an menance
When PG was talking about his way of staying in plays I couldn't stop thinking about that no look steal he had against the 76ers, to this day...how the hell?
Real talk real respect.
PG is real humble. Him at his best is a dawg too. His game real smooth, kinda like Tatum💯
Kawhi is like a ninja
Kawhi Leonard is the Bernard Hopkins of basketball: no wasted effort, intelligent movement, everything in control.
Whyyy doesn’t JJ have a Milli Subs yet!!? Favorite hoop podcast . He doing it and been 🙏🏽
You are the best team ever this season. Continue to inspire people who likes basketball, i am team clippers🎉🎉🎉🎉
The average fan hasn't let it sink in that he hasn't been healthy since the ZaZa incident. Then reports came out that his knee problem is a degrading problem so it'll never get better. League lucky he's been injured the last 4/5 seasons fr.
I mean in 2019 people were so quick to want to crown him the best player in the world

I’m a Clippers season ticket holder. I can’t recall the last game I went to where both of these phenomenal players were on the court together. I’m sure there were a few, but it sure felt like there weren’t many.
Thats how i like PG, because being a great player he knew and appreciated who was Kawhi on the floor , with idol Kawhi their plays more astonishing and great. And still for me they can be the best duo ever🎉🎉🎉🎉

I liked JJ already but he’s actually one dem ones w dis Analysis/Podcasting/Storytelling just who he is being now I fw it bro!
I will always be grateful for Clipper talk.
He"s never playing to talk trash too
Lemme guess “don’t make him mad he’ll start trying and win” 😂😂😂
I’m glade y’all recognize his mid game! I’ve never seen anyone like that. His consistency with the mid. Theirs not very many players in the nba who are mid assassins u feel
PG is such a good positive man!
