Kawhi is an introvert. That's just his personality. It's free country, he doesn't have to talk if he doesn't want to.
I’m an introvert so I definitely understand him. His teammates say he’s a cool dude and funny. Their opinions are the only opinions that matter
But he does though. It's in their contracts
@@ronwilliams7728 He talks when suppose to talk. He just doesn't talk anymore than he has too.
no doubt, he has also been through hell his whole life but Stephen A conveniently left that out
When you represent a team and have endorsements, being an introvert is not a smart option.
Kawhi is not on social media he don't give a f about steven a
Lol
doesn't make stephen a wrong though.
😂 facts
He ain’t wrong tho 🤷🏻♂️
He don’t give a F about his career either clearly
A season ago Stephen A was telling Kyrie to retire. That's about how much his word means.
Why was he telling Kyrie to retire?
How did SAS manage to make this about himself 😂🤦🏽♂️
Cuz he’s that dude lol
He is jealous a black man makes way more money than him playing the sport he never could so he became a journalist. He thinks ppl like Kawhi and Kyrie don’t work when in reality he could never be an athlete like them
narcissist overload. it is ALL about HIM. he KNOWS everybody and their mom - like durant, MJ, AI, lebron and they all respect him. he also prides himself of being the most hard working and respectful journalist. his takes are there to bring in clicks, and he sells his image to be annoying so people will watch his shows. sometimes i can take it, but when he goes after someone like kawhi or durant, i cant stand the dude.
@@checkanr138facts I agree. Not enough talk about this
He always does.
Not talking in the commercial is a wild point to make 😂😂😂
Michael jackson did it with pepsi
This comes from a man that said Brunson is better than Luka
And I’m a Knicks fan to the death and Jalen is invited to all cooks out….ill take Brunson over d Mitch but not luka
Jalen Brunson is more important when you compare who's needed more for the success of their respective teams, but (Even as a Knicks fan) I can say he's nowhere near as good as Luka Doncic
Well he says this because of melatonin. He never gives flowers to those that aren't of darker complexion.
@@SBzKillFrenzythat doesn't even make sense. Mavs don't even make playoffs without Luka. A full Knicks team still makes playoffs without Brunson.
@@MikkiChavez Without Luka, they still have the Unstoppable Kyrie. Without Luka, Mavs definitely still would make the playoffs. As far as the Knicks, reverse roles. If Brunson goes down, but Randle is still healthy, they might just barely make the playoffs, but mavs would be sitting real comfortable at least a 3rd or 4th seed. Mavs have that luxury. The Knicks need Brunson to play well or stay somewhat healthy. They didn't have the luxury of another explosive player this year is what I'm saying.
There are literally superstars in sports we've seen be domestic abusers, drug users, and worse. But sure, the dude who has injury problems and is known for being really quiet is 'The worst superstart in sports history'. Sure dude, sure.
That's a reach, give a good example of someone comparable but with the issues you stated.
@@raoulthedutch How is it a reach? If SAS is using the word worst in the history of sports now that’s a reach. There’s even superstars that have been caught using performance enhancement drugs so Khawi is worse that they are because he’s not promoting his team or the NBA? SAS is not the one cutting the check and if the team he’s on feels the same they would have traded him by now. And if he’s a free agent tomorrow majority of the teams would sign him in a heart beat.
@@raoulthedutch Allen iverson, Michael Vick, Ben rothlessberger, Karl Malone, Blake griffin, Ron artest
OJ Simpson?
Way to miss the point.
SAS can’t fathom someone not bending over for their employer the way he does
An employer paying him hundreds of millions of dollars
You are correct
Windy first person evrr aside from Reddick to push back on stephen a stupidity about kawhi
Stephen a is right tho lmao
@@youngfuturesupreme3901 he's not at all
Windy is literally no one he wouldn't have a job without lebron his opinion is the last I would listen to that man never played anything even in middle school 😂
what did Stephen A say that was wrong? Windy didn't even attack his argument
@@hooligan5381 how did Kawhi do in the playoffs?
Stephen A. knew Kawhi won't talk back at him so he unloaded on him viciously on first take. Stephen A. is a fool.
this bruh cause this outta pocket i really hope somebody takes up for Kawhi hopefully Westbrook
I think someone or some franchise push SAS to say what he says. Whoever “they” are they definitely using SAS to push their narrative. Probably to lower his value.
You’re so dumb it’s insane. 😊
Y’all are ignorant and so wrong on this topic it’s sad what society has become
The wortst superstar in the league yet he made all nba second team 🙃, clearly its not a talent issue cause with a fucked knee injury that holds him back, when he is on the court he is still a top 15 nba player and that its who the Clippers are paying the big bucks to.
Talent wise the clippers are not that distant from the Mavs but meanwhile the mavs superstars showed up and showed out both on defense and ofense what did the Clippers stars do, reminder that with the Klaw down they still have 2 top 75 players in Westbrook and Harden and a 1st ballot HOF in PG, yet the media is blaming Kawhi.
Its 1 of the MANY reasons Players and fans alike dont RESPECT SAS.
The old heads/retired players do. The younger generation/player's still playing don't
He is 100 percent correct this time.
@@scottmiller8617 Exactly! Kyrie had to hear it about his availability for years
@@Whyypreeeeeeeeeeold heads like who? IT just checked his BS
SAS is right about Kawhi’s availability though. He has been so unpredictable with injuries and there have been nights where he plays a full game, does a post game interview, and no reports of injuries then out of the blue the next game he’s out for load management.
You can’t deny that’s a fair point about him
He is a two time champion, respect him
Sasha Vujacic also has 2 ships 🙄
@@Makaveli3k. dumb comparison
@@Makaveli3k. u really put Vujacic and kawhi in the same sentence 🤦🏿♂️
We don't have to respect anything that doesn't deserve our respect
Respect a man who won mvp and lebron avg 30 9 and 9 …. Then goes to Toronto beats warriors g-league for championship 😂😂😂😂😂😂 wat respect
You ever watch Stephen A and then realize “why am I doing this to myself?”
He only showing up to sign up for that check
All the time
So Kawhi is the worst superstar in sports for being introverted and injury prone? Those two things are completely out of his control. Stephen A is pathetic.
Not exactly. You can force or condition yourself to be more social. You won't like it, but it is doable.
There's no need to force or condition yourself to be more social. Because you don't have to.
@@thefighter5182 For most people, increased social interaction leads to increased levels of happiness.
Stephen A is a professional YAPPER. All he does is Yap his behind off when he can easily give a short and sweet answer. All these disclaimers to still hate on a player is crazy.
It is stupid as hell, because there have been tons of superstars who never even won a title. Let alone 2
So, in your genius opinion, objective criticism shouldn't be had. We should all simply upload players even if it's glaring where the gaps are.
@@omronstatic997 it’s incredibly foolish to criticize someone for having a degenerative knee issue. Doesn’t take a genius to see that.
@@adamrielhThen why is he getting superstar money? Why are tickets so expensive? Why does he get superstar treatment? He doesn’t get the criticism because he doesn’t play enough.
SAS is an entertainer, this show’s entire schtick is to create narratives and get people riled up. He’s doing it again here - who has been thinking about Kawhi and the clippers who got eliminated a month ago?
It's not. Don't forget that sports is about "What You Have Done Lately?" . The situation in San Antonio has cast some doubts about whether or not he can take upon himself to show up. It looks like the Flu Game will never happen with him.
STEVEN A SMITH WHEN WILL YOU LEARN? NEVER BECAUSE YOU ARE TRYING TO APPEASE THE BOSSES OF ESPN
One of the worst sports related takes of all time… bar none.
Edit: People do realize he said worst superstar in the history of all sports, right? Here’s a few names across a number of different sports who I would say were/are worse … Joel Embiid, Freddy Adu, Ronaldinho, Ray Rice, Oscar Pistorius, Tonya Harding, Lance Armstrong, Johnny Manziel, John Daly… all could be named worse superstars depending on what your basing your opinion about off of. Point, stop falling for the hyperbole because it sounds good.
It’s not nobody would touch Kawhi with 10ft pole. He’s not gonna be there when you need him.
He hasn’t played in the playoffs in years.
So who's a worse superstar than Kawhi? Not Star but Superstar 🤔
Embid@@Zantar16
@@lonbwoy007 Kawhi is the better player but Embiid is the better superstar according to SAS argument. He is more committed to the 76ers franchise and even played in the playoffs while injured.
Stephen A is the biggest dry snitch 😂
Does SAS realize kawhi being himself makes him marketable 😂
He ended up making it about himself lmao
I live in the area where Kawhi went to school and he's always making appearances and giving kids things for school so he makes up for not being on the court a lot in his community
"i didn't stutter I meant every word I said" 😂
SAS is a clown and has way to big of an ego. Kawhi is always going to be himself no matter what people say about him. The fact SAS is comparing himself to a superstar being "the face of ESPN" is laughable. I try to like him but takes like this make that incredibly hard.
When you remove ya emotions from your rebuttal you realize what Stephen a is saying makes sense
Stop bullying that man. He’s not talking, playing or anything. Just minding his business.
SA needs to let this go. Literally nobody agrees with him
He can't help himself.
I’m sorry (not sorry), but Stephen A. Smith is 100% right, on his assessment of Kawhi Leonard. I’d hate to be his teammate.
SAS will end up apologizing for this too. Kawahii is a 2x champ, he doesn’t have to be commercial like other superstars. I love his appeal, it’s different. Not everyone has to be loud and performative like SAS
but you do realize not being a notable person makes you a bad superstar right? lol you're proving his point
@@TheForkOnTheLeftist You ‘re just yappin
Saying Kawhi is a bad superstar
Smh just waisted seconds of mh life writing that.
Do better smh
@@Fugitif012 maybe you should do better. What you just said was stupid. And didn't attack any point. Like most people just repeating the same thing over and over
Clippers 2025 champs
@@TheForkOnTheLeftistbut people knew that he was a cyborg type player idk why he is surprising that he doesn't market the sport, brand or clippers.
The Philippine population is approximately 110 million, we are a basketball country. You can even find a basketball court in the mountains. We all know who Kawhi Leonard is. We support and appreciate him.
Kawhi’s 2 rings mean way more then KD’s 2 and I’m a fan of both. If it wasn’t for that dirty play from Zaza yrs ago Klaw wouldn’t have been as injury prone as he’s been tbh 🤷🏿♂️
He’s a wossie that’s why he’s soo injury prone!
@@jamesrene9378 Tearing ligaments make u a woosie?
ESPN calls Kawhi “WORST SUPERSTAR” and they make him clickbait to make money for straight 2 days😂
68 games for all nba consideration not coincidental? use team attended for bread but can't play more than 5 playoff games out of like 19? Yea bro the Kawhi era is OVER
Grant Hill never got shat on for being injured but kawhi constantly does lmao for what? It’s unfortunate that his body can’t hold up but it can’t be helped. At least he got 2 finals mvps 2 dpoys and multiple all nba teams all star appearances and all defense teams out of his career despite his knees being all kinds of fucked up.
Thats exactly what I commented the other day, Its just the state of sports talk nowadays.
Why is ESPN talkin about what Stephen a said instead what's happening in sports
He clearly doesn't care to promote the brand… he just wants to hoop and he's one of the all-time greats… can't be mad about that
he's only doing this to Kawhi because Kawhi dont care and wont attack him back. The man has BAD KNEES!! What more do you want???
Stephen A wanna be Skippy A so bad. This dude is a clown.
SAS you a fool for this one. Just stop. There are hundreds of superstar athletes who are worse then Kawhi. Have you forgotten about Harden?
SAS is the Galye Queen of sports media and he had the nerve to say he NEVER tells lies a couple days ago 😂😂
SAS really forgot OJ Simpson was a superstar
OJ Was Great
That situation had nothing to do with the NFL
REGARDLESS TO WHAT YOU THINK OJ WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY AND ON THE GRIDIRON OJ WAS A BEAST
@@williamthurston7260 OJ was not found guilty cuz he lawyers put chmeiclas on his hands so his hand would not fit the glove.
On the court please leave off the court stuff out of this
SAS is a certified media clown...what a disgrace!
Just a daily dose of Stephen A embarrassment lmao
Stephen A at this point is Shaq in the Celtics. Bro has been on a generational run of stupidity this season.
Stephen A is not a sports analyst but a Manipulator!
He’s not intelligent enough to understand that people exhibit themselves through their personalities. Kwahi is introvert and cos he doesn’t shout nor charismatic doesn’t mean he doesn’t promote the game. You can’t mirror everyone on own myopic mindset of what they should be. Thats very so wrong. Agreed injuries but what about KD doesn’t lead any team
@deequi77 u are one trillion percent correct💯
He said he doesn’t promote the game while he was in season tournament commercials at the time.
Commercials as opposed to press conferences, media days, public appearances? Lmao grow up
Does the nba not have marketing?? This is stupidity on live tv
Kawhi has been traumatized by his father's passing. He doesn't care for pleasing anybody.
Not to mention his sister going to prison!
Steven A heads is too big no one agree with him on that topic . I bet Michael and Kobe disagree with him
Most one sided beef in history
You don’t count.
Stephen A. better shut his mouth, and make sure his security game is tight when he moves around. He's making a lot of enemies!
Stephen A is ridiculous and I wish JJReddick was on to check him.
They both make great points, but I think it's the word "worst" that Windhordst and others have a problem with. I guess Stephen A coulda said Kawhi is the "least dependable" superstar ever, but that doesn't hit the same lol.
😂😅 why yall not blaming Zaza for placing his foot under his landing space over and over clearly dirty that wasn’t on Him
Why did Kawhi sit out for a year on the Spurs when everyone said he was healthy? Yes he got hurt like every other player in the NBA.
Kawhis job is to produce while he’s on the court. Why does he have to be an ambassador for the game? Idk why sas makes that apart of the convo, he’s an ambassador by killing when he’s on the court
He isn't on the court most of the time. That is part of the issue.
@@sgame82 forsure but how is that his fault. The man has bad knees, we know that, dogging on him for that doesn’t seem productive.
Stephen A Smith has a slick way with words, and is kind of good at reading nuances in human behavior so because of this he makes sometimes misleading comments that provoke people to behave different from what they naturally would sometimes, so because he has made this happen a few times to a few sports athletes, so he trys to see if he can continue to expose little nuances in their character in order to see if he has the power to make more athletes behave different from what they naturally would based on his shrewd but misleading comments, and he purposely overlooks the sensitive nuances in behaviour of star athletes that give him exclusive information on their lives and descisions, so he knows that everybody has poked fun at Kawhis' quiet personality, even when Kawhi laughs in an interview then the audience and media tries to say his natural laugh is akward, so Stephen A Smith is a shrewd person so he is using this knowledge against Kawhi by further harping on Kawhi's natural quiet personality that has most fans and media saying he is akward, but he is just being his natural self, he does not have to open up to people that he is not interested in, and Stephen A Smith knows exactly what he is doing and he probably is doing it because Kawhi denied him an interview or denied him some excluseive information, but even if its not for this reason then Stephen A Smith is still making an argument based on talkativeness and not physical performance, and thats what sports is: physical performance
SA just apologized to Kyrie...I gotta feeling he's gonna have to walk this back in a couple of years 😂
Even his peers think sas is a joke 😂
The Steven A soap opera
Steven A is the Kwame Brown of analysts.
Lol Stephen A sound like he hating. It's not his fault he's an introvert. Not everybody has to be front and center to get it done.
Stephen A needs to be consistent. One second he understands Kawhi’s injuries aren’t his fault, the next second he’s questioning how he’s always alright come signing time or saying he seems fine one game and is suspiciously out the next. Say what you’re saying and stand on it
Both things can be true
Whenever Stephen A needs ratings...he kicks in the back of a Black Man minding his business
Stephen A Smith kwame Brown he is right about you go ahead and tear down another black man why didn't you do Josh Getty like that
Windy looking like he's having a seizure listening to stephens nonsense 😂
Windy better be careful using all these facts to dispute Stephen A, he might get shipped off to whatever remote island Max is on.
I've heard Stephen A. call James Harden a superstar, this man going to Act like Kawhi is a worst superstar than Harden? The harden with no rings?? Man just be saying whatever
If Harden was on any of those teams Kawhi won on he would have rings.
Every team harden has played in has been a superteam lol
Not Rockets wit Jeremy Lin lmao@@Sports-media180
Good point.
But SAS didn't lie. He said Kawhi is that dude when he's on the court, but that's it. Where is the lie? Kawhi hates talking to the media, does not promote his team or the league, eats up a large part of his team's salary cap, and is injury prone so his availabilityis questionable. So, where is the lie? If Kawhi isn't the worst SUPERSTAR, who is?
Ever heard of Ben Simmons
Lemme tell you about a guy named Ben Simmons…
Ben Simmons is / was NEVER a superstar.
Ben Simmons was never considered a bonafide superstar and im not speaking on everything i know now…but even then he was a star on the rise/in the making
@@torrancejohnson9922since when this bozo has EVER been a superstar? Lmao he might be a superstar at the met gala
Kawhi doesn’t have to change for anyone F Stephen A..I read Kawhi’s story and learned his father was murdered when he was younger and he hasn’t been the same since😓
Don't you know he get paid big money for putting brothers down
Bro shut up lmao
Slept on it for a night? He’s been saying that for years… he’s a hater, if he has any relationship with kawhi or his uncle he wouldn’t say that 🤷♂️
Surprisingly I kinda agree with SAS on this one! Remember the “King of LA” commercial where he was supposed to takeover LA with the clippers away from LeBron. How’d that turn out?
Also didn’t speak in that commercial as well.
Ig I miss spurs commercial Kawhi.
I don’t know about that take Tim Duncan never spoke like that
A game buzzer that was mostly luck, but that's not SAS point, his point was that the word 'superstar' being a face of a franchise, he's not, he even said that it had nothing to do with his basketball ability. Lets be fair, SAS said it like that.
people dont listen they just respond
Hate SAS but he is right on this .
Yeah people didn’t comprehend that
He be hating on kawhi hard
The team that comes up with the wordplays as subtitles for this show deserve a boatload of credit for their wits. "Kwahi-Et Storm" absolutely brilliant!
this topic is very tricky 😂
Its other superstars in sports with worse actions outside of the TV that put them beyond Kawhi in the bad category
who?

@@swisscloud4309 yeah but he was , rookie of the year. All rookie first team, 3 time all star, 2 time all defensive team, all nba team . Steals leader, and paid a max contact.. all to never take a 3 pointer , be scared to shoot free throws and nearly never available lol oh and he was projected to be the next Lebron 😩😩😩
To call him a worst superstar in sports Is a big joke.. Maybe in NBa yes.. But entire sports no way..
Cant even say NBA. Dudes maybe the least exciting superstar but worst? Eh. Got gun charges, dirty players, Sexual deviants, locker room cancers. Just cuz theyre more Marketable dont mean theyre a better superstar than Kawhi. If anything weve seen how being Marketable and then screwing up can flip a teams whole brand. If Draymond wasnt on GS that team would have 80% less haters. Off top nothing else woild have to be done.
SAS hating someone getting paid goes against his own belief. SAS lost it.
People dissing SAS don't understand his point. Successful marketing of the league, as a whole, and the teams individually is what enables the players to make as much money as they make. His point is that Kawhi contributes very little to that in spite of the fact that he's a great basketball player when he's available. Also, is anyone disputing the availability stats SAS quoted for Kawhi? No! People may consider it picking on Kawhi (and I'm inclined to agree just a bit), but his facts aren't disputed by anyone.
He said he wasn’t promoting the game while he was in the in season tournament commercials at the time. Hes just talking
So Jokic ain’t a superstar because he lowkey too ? Cmon now 🤷🏿♂️
Exactly! People pay more attention to the messenger than the message. People like Kawhi so they refuse to see SAS point. He's not wrong! Nobody can name a commercial Kawhi was in by himself.. Shoot we just saw Jokic in a hotel commercial with a horse. Lol! I love Kawhi as a player but bro don't talk.
No he’s wrong. People understand that clearly
@@Dre_Key How? What commercial have you seen Kawhi in? NBA cares? Kawhi speak? Anything? What have you seen? SAS isn't talking about his talent when he's on the floor. What have you seen that says dang Kawhi cares?
He didn’t rebuttal not one thing Stephen A said
Didn't have to he said it all in the beginning SAS a joke
He mentioned Kawhi’s accomplishments bringing Toronto raptors a championship included. And excusing his lack of game playing due to his bad knees

How dare Stephen A dishrace the great Kawhi, the best defensive player.
He’s up there for sure though. Barely played and when he does, he gets beat by Luka
Kawhi never lost to Luka
As a lifelong Clippers fan, I love Kawhi because he just a blue collar worker. He comes to work, gives u an honest day and then goes home….all steak no sizzle.
Hating on how another man gets money is crazy 😂
Kawhi is not the worst but on the other hand he's holding back the clips. Paying a player who is always injured and always not available in playoffs.
Stephen A be saying stupud takes just to say it.....snh
I totally get what SAS is saying. Just look at Federer in Tennis and every other superstars who do, and the picture becomes clearer.
just because Kawhi has been injured doesn't make him the worst superstar it's not like he's a bust. he's a 2x nba champ and a DPOY there's other superstars that have been worse.
Might be the worst take I’ve heard from Stephen A smith and that’s saying a lot
Stephen A is Right! You gotta show up!
Stop, Stephen.
Yall are dumb
SAS is extreme but he is correct, this is a league is based off what have you done for me lately. What has kawhi done since he got to the clippers?
but we arent talking about WHAT HAVE YOU DONE LATELY....SAS is talking ALL Time. Come on man, Karl Malone got ZERO rings and had a kid with a 13 yr old. Id say Karl is worse

@@MrMgkman13injuries. Load managing is a team thing for all teams not Kawhi. Yall need to stop with the narratives. He’s not a DPOy and 2 time champ and 2 time MVP from being lazy.
1) ESPN has nothing to discuss, so they have S.A.S use his grudge with Kawhi as screen time. 2) S.A.S just admitted after may confrontations about the subject that his takes on Kyrie was personal, so i am sure this is the same.
Not marketing the game doesn’t make you the worst superstar. Unavailability might. but that’s subjective.
SAS not lying! At this point he not even a superstar!
Facts
He got bad knees they keep paying him that ain’t on him.
Hell. "Marketing" wise not basketball wise, Lamelo is more marketable as a superstar than Kawhi lmao
stephen A is liar. Just like your partner lied to you
Steven A is cringy af
Stephen A. Isn't criticizing his play on the court ..But he's criticizing how he doesn't promote the NBA, his team which he's correct about ...worst might be a stretch though. But his teammates like him and behind him wherever he's been , so I don't agree with him say that.
People are intentionally misunderstanding SAS. No one is saying Kawhi can't ball but his refusal to be available makes him the worst. Guys a part-time NBA player.
So is Stephen A. going to apologize to Kawhi if he takes the Clippers to the Finals next year just like he did with Kyrie this year?
No, because he’s still right. He’s not saying Kawhi is a scrub. If you’re a team like Charlotte or the Clippers of course you’ll take Kawhi. But if you could trade him for any other SUPERSTAR, someone who you know could bring you a ring just as much, you’re really not taking that trade?
With all the injuries and not promoting your brand?
@jso416 your a delusional idiot for saying anything of Kawhi taking any1 to the finals.
Nobody doubted Kyrie's talent. The problem pas elsewhere. Who you gonna take to greatness if you're not available?
was elsewhere
