@TigeeDwayne no. He doing work like this because of the system. Put Paul George on the spurs what would happen?

[sfballa13]

KD is one of the softest pissy's in the NBA

Even with Westbrook playing out of his mind and Ibaka coming back they still couldnt beat the Spurs

In fact when his team was fully healthy they struggled to beat the Grizzlies with Randolph suspended and Conley hurt

Come to think of it without the refs KD doesnt even get past Grizz or Clippers

[J Shuttlesworth]

KD does have some what of a point... Maybe if PG was on the Spurs, he wouldn't be knocking up strippers and ruining his image. You know how those women in San Antonio are

[Jyap9675]

System is so good that it led to a Finals MVP. Leonard put in work over the last 3 years to improve his game, it's not all about the system.. You gotta make the shots too

[BasedTom]

Kahwai is a Finals MVP. He took on the 2x defending champion Heat. He guarded and scored against the consensus best player on the planet. All without cracking a smile.

KD is too much of a beta to even play Lil B 1 on 1. He's too much of of a deadbeat to even pay up his $20,000 bet with The Game. Jordan was unafraid of anyone on the court. When Jordan lost his gambles he handled them with honour and dignity and accepted the terms of the agreement; no matter how much he stood to lose.

The league MVP Kevin Durant has absolutely no room to criticize Kawaii Leonard

[Jameerthefear]

KD is such a f*cking bitch.

[BigBoss]

Kawhi Leonardo -1
Kevin Durant- 0

FMVP > MVP

System or no system.

[Johnny Jones]

KD is such a f*cking bitch.
So are you.

[TexasBloodMoney]

System is so good that it led to a Finals MVP. Leonard put in work over the last 3 years to improve his game, it's not all about the system.. You gotta make the shots too

Word. Can we give some credit to the San Antonio players? At the end of the day, they're the ones who have to actually make it happen.

[IGOTGAME]

Durant should be more mature than that. Guy is like a child.

[christian1923]

Kawhi Leonardo -1
Kevin Durant- 0

FMVP > MVP

System or no system.
"Fmvp > MVP" :coleman: :coleman: nonsense

[IamRAMBO24]

KD is spot on. Kawhi is simply overrated. With that kind of system, where you have 3 future hofs who can go off at anytime, the worst he'll get is 1 on 1 coverage by a good defender. Put him on a team where he is the center of attention and he'll choke big time.

[Meticode]

So are you.
:lebronamazed:

[Natureland]

SA's system is incredible but Kawhi deserves a great amount of credit for his development.

Also, if KD recognizes how great SA's system is, why the **** is he just cool with Brooks running his "KD/Russ do some stuff" system? :roll:

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Hes right ud have to be a retard to argue otherwise

George is a better defender and the 1st option on offense getting most of the defensive attention. There are like 3 players on the Spurs getting more defensive attention than Kawhi and he doesnt start offense either like Tony or Manu

[RoundMoundOfReb]

George is the better player at this point. Doesn't mean Kawhi isn't a beast too.

[hitmanyr2k]

Very true :oldlol:

[chazzy]

What he's said isn't wrong, but that's not something you should be tweeting publicly :oldlol:

[All Net]

KD isn't hating he is completely right. He wasn't bashing Leonard.

[BlazerRed]

KD is a retard for supporting Brooks. Dude obviously isn't a winner, he can't get anywhere in that system yet supports it anyway :biggums:

[Legends66NBA7]

How in the world is that "hating" ?

Leonard is a stud, no doubt. I have no grip with his Finals MVP. But the system had something to do with it too. Really, you could make cases for Duncan and Manu winning it too.

But it's whatever, though. I don't think the Spurs players care about Finals MVP. They just care they got the title this time around.

[Joyner82reload]

Durant is 100% right, Leonard probably isn't even a top 10 SF in the NBA. George isn't a superstar, but he's still a fringe all star who got overhyped a little bit. Leonard will not be an all star for at least 2-3 years and even that's a stretch. The guy will likely be a career 14/8/3 elite defense SF.

Hell Cedric Maxwell also once won Finals MVP

However this isn't something he should be going after on twitter. Very bad time and very dumb move on his part. He might hate the Spurs, but this is just poor judgement.

[hitmanyr2k]

The system didn't develop Kawhi's low post game or his jumphook (something Durant needs to explore). The system didn't develop his three point shot for him. It sure as hell didn't give him his rebounding, hustle and defensive ability to get steals or blocks at just the right time. System or no system the kid is improving his game and doing it during pressure-filled moments. To have constant Conference Finals/NBA Finals experience at such a young age is huge.

It's hating because it's not shit you say about the guy who just won finals MVP. He's downplaying and that's some bullshit by KD.

Notice only the LeBron stans and emotional teenagers are professing KD is "hating" :oldlol:

Agreed, especially w/ the bolded

[BlackVVaves]

Paul George with three years of Pop, in this Spurs system? Would be mighty effective.

As things stand though, I trust Leonard under Pop's tutelage right now than George's mentally fragile ass under Vogel.

[Jameerthefear]

Notice only the LeBron stans and emotional teenagers are professing KD is "hating" :oldlol:
do u have autism?
"no. He doing work like this because of the system. Put Paul George on the spurs what would happen?"
that downplays how amazing kawhi was playing. it's bitch shit by a bitch ass player. no surprise.

Agreed. Though I agree with him, he should be more graceful in conveying his opinion right now.

Doesn't mean he's hating though. Just frank.

:roll: Of course you pick this day of all days to come back to ISH

[Artillery]

Durant needs to work on his defense instead of talking shit about other players. Watch some Kawhi tape, KD. Might learn something about how to play on the other end of the court.

[BlackVVaves]

They've always been a very sensitive bunch..

This embarrassing Finals couldn't have happened to a more deserving clan. Maybe Kobe stans. But them Bron stans been polluting the playoff game threads of every Spurs, Thunder, and Pacers series since the post-season began.

Refs this, refs that. Rigged this, rigged that.

Largest point differential in Finals history. Cotdamn :eek:

[Joyner82reload]

I have rarely posted on ISH over the past freaking year dude...I almost never post here anymore, moved on to realgm

well it is twitter, there's only so many characters and discussions between two people that know what the other is trying to convey can easily be misunderstood by someone reading their discussion from the outside...

you have to read the whole discussion not just a couple of tweets, durant is clearly defending george, not taking shots at leonard

[Hizack]

KD isn't hating he is completely right. He wasn't bashing Leonard.
This.

That Durant thinks that PG is better than Kawhi doesn't means that he hates Kawhi.

[unbreakable]

DURANT SALTY AF!!! lolol

kd35 continues to prove just how beta and pus5y he really is...very female of him to act this way :facepalm

[BlackVVaves]

well it is twitter, there's only so many characters and discussions between two people that know what the other is trying to convey can easily be misunderstood by someone reading their discussion from the outside...

True, but he could have been a tad bit more flattering to the FMVP.

But, again I maintain, only Bron stans and feeble minded teens will process that exchange as him hating. Taking a chance to allocate some kind of distaste towards KD, even amidst their embarrassment. That's dedication right there :applause:

He was being guarded by LeBron who is supposedly a great defender :confusedshrug:

Durant talking shit he can't (and won't) back up on twitter again. Big surprise.

He's tweeting from his couch while Leonard holds the MVP trophy.

I wonder how many scrubs/role player wish they were on the spurs

[Adrenalynn]

Danny Green could have been last years FMVP if they would've won. Kwahi had a good series 18 ppg in a "system".

Haters gonna hate. The kid played out of his mind. He was guarding LeBron and put up 20/10 .... check history ... what players have put up those numbers at his age?

[Lebronxrings]

dude anyone can win with pops system. I hate dubeta but hes right on this. Insert any top SF and the spurs probably destroy everyone.

this statement is true.

if you hadn't been watching basketball and watch the shift of the Spurs system on both ends of the court since Duncan's decline.

[Genaro]

KD is entitled to have an opinion, I don't think he's hating and if you ask me I think he's right. Spurs system makes players look better and I do think that PG is the better player right now. ( I brought up that argument to all Westbrook/Parker discussions I joined)

That being said, I think he should just shut the f.uck and don't talk about stuff unless he's directly asked about that. Go enjoy your time off or get ready for next season, don't be creating animosities on Twitter.

[buddha]

even though I hate Pau George he is better than Kawhi Leonard and he would fukkin beast on the Spurs and make them way better than Kawhi ever could.

[Foster5k]

KD is right. Get off his back.

[MiseryCityTexas]

KD is such a f*cking bitch.

He must be if he deleted all them tweets.

[Lebron23]

I agree with KD.

[Anaximandro1]

2007 - Spurs won the title (end of Duncan's prime)

2008 - Lost in the WCF

2009 - Lost 1st Rnd

2010 - Lost WC Semis (4-0) vs Suns

2011 - Lost 1st Rnd again

2012 - Lost in the WCF (Kawhi rookie season)

2013 - Lost NBA Finals (4-3) (Kawhi averaged 15/11/2)

2014 - Won NBA Finals (4-1) (Kawhi FMVP averaged 18/6/2)

Duncan was no longer capable of carrying a team to the title.

Same thing with Parker and Manu ... Jefferson was a disaster.

Pop did a good job, but it wasn't enough ... the Spurs were irrelevant for a long time.


Kawhi has changed the Spurs ... elite defender, rebounder, solid offensive player, great attitude, is a workaholic, etc.

[Bernkastel]

It looks bad when you're critiquing a player on the team that's just won the title. A player on the team that eliminated you earlier preventing you from winning a title when you're expected to win.

I can see how people think he's hating.

[GimmeThat]

when it comes down to the contract/money perspective.

hard to justify how one would get paid more then the other at this point of their career.

[wally_world]

Any basketball fan with an average IQ would agree with KD

[GimmeThat]

Any basketball fan with an average IQ would agree with KD

so I'm suppose to use my average IQ and compute the fact that we can't erase the years Leonard spent learning Pop's system, and then switch it with Paul George?

[JohnFreeman]

F*ck Durant, jealous fakkit

even though I hate Pau George he is better than Kawhi Leonard and he would fukkin beast on the Spurs and make them way better than Kawhi ever could.

pg doesn't fit pop's system :no:

[NumberSix]

Deuxrant has known passive aggressive tendencies.

[GOBB]

Yet when Westbrook is criticized by Skip Bayless, Durant gets all emotional. So its ok for him to say something publicly about a player getting hype, attention. Yet when its done for one of his teammates and he doesnt like it? Butt is sore.

That is my only issue with what he said.

[Straight_Ballin]

And people wonder why this era is shit. You've got Bron the flopper that chases rings to win and KD the bitch who hates on Kawhi's hard work ethic. What a f'n joke. Let's just hope the next 2 superstars aren't complete beta's but I'm not holding my breath.

[Hoopz2332]

you cant chase for rings when you're the best player/main reason why your team will win:coleman:
