[QUOTE=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, [B]why the **** is he just cool with Brooks running his "KD/Russ do some stuff" system?[/B] :roll:[/QUOTE]
Very true :oldlol:
What he's said isn't wrong, but that's not something you should be tweeting publicly :oldlol:
KD isn't hating he is completely right. He wasn't bashing Leonard.
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:
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.
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.
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
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.

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.
