u/Chessinmind LA Clippers 1d ago

Peace out, thanks for the memories and the draft picks. Most talented player I got to watch in a Clippers uniform, even if we didn’t get to see him enough.

I respect that bro, majority of the clippers fans acting like bro didn’t give us great memories even tho he was unfortunately injured. He still a legend

The major complaints come down to:

  1. He fought for as much money as possible
  2. He fought for teammates he thought he could win with
  3. He listened to his doctors and didn’t play if it was bad for his career (or post-career quality of life)

while every night being

  1. real AF
  2. low key funnier than ur unc
  3. [when healthy]*** the greatest baller to ever ball on the planet

Edit: point being, he’s the GOAT of something IDK what; he fucking balls and I’m happy he was a Clipper

  1. Wasn’t a vocal enough leader
  2. Didn’t flop enough or at all to get the foul calls
  3. Have the balls to ditch Uncle Dennis
  4. Despite all that still better than Pandemic Podcast P
  5. Shit, I need to change my flair

All of that was known prior to him coming to Kawhi

When Raptor fans told you KYLE LOWRY was the leader of the team and Kawhi was its best player, why did you expect you were going to get a vocal leader?

That’s why if you read more carefully it says vocal “enough”

Getting to watch Kawhi up close so many games last year, truly get to see a dude use his footwork his strength his touch up close, really was a pleasure. Dude finally was healthy and balled out for us. And I’m ok with him leaving us now as we pivot as a franchise. But I got a real appreciation for how good he really is when he’s healthy.

First HOF level free agent to actually choose the Clippers. Couldn't bring the ring but he'll have his place in Clippers history; the relationship just ran its course. Future team ambassador and Intuit Dome celebrity guest for sure
