The problem is he was the same player in 16', 17', 18', 20'. That supposed extra gear came half a decade after the injury and then disappeared as quickly as it appeared. This isn't a player who steadily improves year after year. The idea that if he didn't miss 76 games in his fifth season he would be a completely different player doesn't square with his career, which is consistent all-NBA 3rd team level performance outside of one year.
He is making excuses for underachieving in team results--zero playoff series win since 14'.

They both lost because they let the females join in. Soft generation.

Well he's in an Instagram feud, that's kind of a diva thing to do. So I'm not surprised he's bringing injury excuses into this as well.

So this is basically about him being sad he couldn't have an extra MVP level season? That's random. What does that have to do with Lillard's hopping teams comment though? Even if he had an MVP season with pacers, he still would of left because he wasn't happy with them not bringing in another star.
Then he goes to thunder by accident, he didn't even want to be there. Had an MVP season and still left.

Gets bounced twice in the first round playing with a MVP and no one gives him any flack for it. A MVP level player playing with a MVP=zero team success and he gets a pass for it yet he is complaining.

George also can't make up his damn mind. He signed an extension with thunder in 2018 off season and left a year later. His minds all over the place it seems, he's lucky he has Kawhi by his side.

Yeah, he said he had "unfinished business" in OKC after getting bounced in the first round, came back and got bounced in the first round again and then left OKC to team up with Kawhi.

Kawhi signed an extension with spurs in 2015 but by 2018 their core was all washed up. Kawhi was also a lot younger and that was his first extension. 2018 George signed an extension, was older and still playing with an MVP in his prime.
Kawhi was pissed at spurs when they didn't work a trade with pacers to get George. So I guess they were born to play with each other. No more excuses though and no more silly Instagram feud shit.

BTW, I like how damians sister is getting in on this attention. Is her name really La'Nae Lillard? Sounds so lizard like
Well the ones who aren't mentally soft won't bring it up. Kobe had broken fingers and played through them. You rarely heard, if ever, him talk about his injuries. Not like PG, Bron etc. Who bring up something when they are shook/mentally fragile.
