I love Kawhi… LOVED Kawhi and then the world began overrating him and comparing him to Lebron. Come on!!!
Kawhi and Iguodala are final MVPs, not from their play but for reducing Lebron’s points… reducing. They were not even the best players in their team.
Last season, after Kawhi was traded to Toronto, he missed games and Lowry and Van Vleet and my Cameroun brother Siakam carried the team under Ujiri’s intellect. Kawhi made a big shot va Philly, and the with Lebron out of the East and Golden state’s Durant and Klay Thomson got injured and Kawhi and Toronto won.
But we all knew without Lebron leaving Cleveland and the injuries to Durant and Klay, Kawhi and Toronto do not win
But suddenly, Kawhi is the most important player. Lebron wanted him in Lakers. Davis took a paycut to get space for Kawhi. And Kawhi decided to get Paul George and they went to Clippers, LA Laker’s neighbour
And Kawhi and Clippers were declared champions in waiting
and why not? Paul George was third in voting for MVP regular aeason and was all NBA and both Indiana and Oklahoma knew he was a player. He even turned Lakers down. The Montrell and Lou William and… CLIPPERS WAS FULL
And they had as coach DOC RIVERS, one of the greatest of all time
Lakers, having waited for Kawhi who effed them up and with almost all good players taken, lakers began to build with Vogel. But while Lebron, Davis and Lakers were playing game in and game out, losing the first two games to Clippers, Kawhi was behaving like a star and missing games. The whole press still picked them. Even in the bubble, the Clippers still cheated the game. Montrell left to attend the burial of someone else’s grandmother and said it was his grand mom. Lou went to a strip club, he said to “buy chicken wings.” And in the rest of season games, still Clippers would not play together, choosing to rest players.
So against Mavs, I told my brother Riete Ofugara Mavs would win or I did not but I felt they would. Then Porzinski got injured. Doncic was Batman on his own without his Robin or Robin without Batman. Clippers won. But against Denver, I told my brother Denver wins.
Now, Denver has no right to win. Clippers has more stars and more seasoned players. To think that Clippers were 3-1 up and in all remaining theee games were 16 up, 19 up and 14 up and to lose all three games, needing to just win one, is a shame
And Kawhi, for the first time he was under scrutiny and pressure, the type Lebron has faced since he was 18. Now Kawhi was EXPECTED to win. Anything less was a disaster. He was expected to not only play well, but to make others play well. It was HIS TEAM
Oh how he failed!!!
