Kawhi gave team USA a taste of what the Clippers have been goin through for years lol
This is Popovichs fault. Kawhi told them he was hurt but the Spurs pressured Kawhi to play now his knees continue to give him problems. Had Popovich let him rest when he was injured he wouldn't be going through this.
If I was Kawhi I would consider a lawsuit against the Spurs.
@@MARZOSIRUS LMAO! Man, quiet down. People keep paying this man an insane amount of money to be available for a short period of time. He has no leg to stand on with a law suit. He could just chill and retire but those checks are great so he won't.
@@MARZOSIRUSbut he won a title after all that
@@dmarr4941 The Spurs medical staff screwed up. The diagnosis was he was OK when his own doctor said he wasn't ok. Now look he has been hurt almost every year.
The money is a given for these NBA superstars. Kobe, MJ all these stars got paid and didn't have to hurt to get paid. Your logic is ridiculous. Your saying since he gets paid so much it doesn't matter that he's hurt.
Kawhi wants to win titles he wants to play. But he is limited due to the Spurs negligence
Lob City era was the best Clippers era with Chris Paul and Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.
International load management is crazy
Bruh 😂😂
What happened to just wearing a rubber?
Yooo hahahahahahajajah
Lmfaooo, load management on the INTERNATIONAL LEVEL hahaha
Fake Injury ***
He's been rehabbing that knee for ten years.
@@jamaaljones765 🤣🤣🤣
He’s lazy
@@LALakers4life34he has a degenerative knee go look it up if you don’t know what that is, on his right knee he had Quadriceps tendon issues in 2018, torn ACL in 2021, Torn Meniscus in 2023 and a knee inflammation 2 months ago. The fact that his play hasn’t dropped off is insane. Y’all love to bash Kawhi but feel sorry for DRose and Brandon Roy 🤡
I honestly think it’s degenerative.
Kawhi was there for the picture, jersey and custom Olympic New Balance. He's one of the greatest contract thieves of all time. Only second to Ben Simmons.
I think the same thing
Hey babyboy do not ever mention those two, in the same sentence. Ben Simmons is a disgrace not due to all the time he misses but he never worked or improved on his offensive deficiencies.
2x finals mvp robbing teams of contracts? Ppl wanna give him money 🤣🤣🤣
Lol he's signed to new balance. He can get those shoes regardless. & since when can you rob a picture? Lmao
@@antoinerogers2692yea he is robbing them with résumé
I also can’t see Kawhi playing for free. They can barely get him to play for millions of dollars.
No lies told 😂😂
😅😅😅 thats funny!!.. lol
Many many many millions 🤣🤣
😆😆😆
So true
Rob tryna justify kawhi deserving a medal if they win and saying his panties would be in a bunch if he doesn’t get one is weird obsessive behavior.
If Lebron were in the same boat he would be arguing for the exact opposite. This guy is a certified clown.🤡
Rob always so gentle with Kawhi
Kawhi and Aaron rodgers are his favorites
You can hear the nurture in his voice
What would be your tone of response?
Yep and Chris as well
Kawhi and his team don’t want to risk injury and dropped out of the Olympics roster why tf would he not be? You want him to bash him for that
Rob always looking at his phone to google what to say 😂😂🎉
😂
Hes always on the phone i dont get it
@@viva_la_topa_8886 he typin for biden teleprompter
Artificial intelligence
😂😂😂😂😂
Considering that he did not finish the season due to injury, it was not logical to include him in the lineup. Same thing with Embiid.
Embiid just needs to get in shape. This might actually help him stay healthy through the entire season.
I never thought he deserved it. He hasn’t even played since 2020.
@@nickjones5495not until he flops and breaks his knee
@@baldeagle4710 flops.. lol. Braindead casual
I get that Embiid is injury prone. But this past season wasn’t his fault. What took him out was someone landing on his knee. When a 6 foot something 200+ lb near pure muscle athlete lands on your knee/leg HARD, i wouldn’t expect the victim to return until the end of the year as Embiid did. I hope Embiid not only makes it but plays like the monster he should be to win GOLD.
How can you NOT play in the season but you wanna play for team USA... Respectfully to the Clippers they did the right thing
He made 2nd team All-NBA and played 70 games
Why the hell was he there to begin with 😂😂 doesn't play in the playoffs but shows up at the Olympics if i were the clippers he wouldn't of stepped foot on that plane
Facts 😂
Maybe bc a knee inflammation doesn’t need 3 months of recovery and he wasn’t hurt no longer? Y’all are actually slow
@@crenshaw_white5888 he shouldn’t of been on the plane regardless bro he dosent play when the playoffs come
@@Big_talks. what has that to do with anything Embiid ain’t healthy in the playoffs he plays, Giannis ain’t healthy in the playoffs he will play for Greece, Murray has injury issues he’ll play for Canada, KD stays injured throughout the year he’ll play… he was part of team USA for one week who gives a fck if he had rejected from the beginning or leave during training camp. My guess is he wanted to play but the clippers pulled him so he will be fully healthy when they open their new arena
Why is Giannis playing in the Olympics then ? He didn’t play in the playoffs either 😮
How you get a medal for being injured before even making the team and leaving before they play any games.
Agreed, but he did get handpicked. Its unfair, but they wanted to give him his one 🏅
Word some legacy type s**t😅
@@aldranonenglishii255 They must know he doesn't have 4 years left in him to make the team next time.
A charity medal Is still mad corny.
He a FINESSER 🤣
He practiced with them & helped prepare them to compete is that so hard to comprehend?
What unsavory and unscrupulous kind of dirt does Kawhi have on rob Parker is the real question
Dirt on Rob Parker??? Hell, what dirt does Kawhi have on the Clips since they renewed his contract in January 2024. 3 years @ $153 million. IJS!
The clippers should just play him from October to January. Have him take a break then April playoffs
All while paying him a max contract??? The clippers aren’t winning a title either way lol.
Toronto got so lucky and was so smart to load management kawhi half the regular season he cooked in the playoffs klay getting hurt in the finals was the final nail in the coffin
You can tell Rob is a big Kawhi fan.
Rob is pillow talk when it comes to Kawhi 😂
Lol, yea. He gets soft with certain guys. Like Rodgers and Leonard.
Rob, you can't give a guy that didn't even go to France an Olympic medal. Ridiculous.
Rob loves Leonard and Rodgers so much
I wouldn’t wish injury on anybody but I’d love to see what Rob would say if LeBron went out first game injured no way would he have said he deserves a gold medal too😂
Kawhi is a 33-yo with knees of a 60-yo. There was no way he was playing competitive basketball before Oct. $150M > Paris gold medal.
Looks like he might get both lmao
Rob won’t have this same energy if it was Lebron !!!!
Not y'all on on here saying kawhi should get a medal if they win. Y'all really on here giving out sympathy trophies?? It's a shame the man is so oft hurt that y'all really saying a competitor like him should be gifted when he didn't compete in a single Olympic game? It's crazy listening to Rob bash LeBron any chance he gets but agrees with this mess? The disparity between how you guys grade these guys is crazy
@@davionmartin2918 word.
He practiced with them & helped prepare the team to compete is that so hard to comprehend?
@@nickjones5495so does the us select team. Should they get a medal as well?
@@iforeverfly yes, wtf ? You thought I was gonna say no?
@@nickjones5495😂😂
Should have never been chosen to begin with
Kawhi said nah fu€k this im out 🤣😂
They sent him home
These guys are fools if they think Paris is making an extra gold medal for Kawai lmao
The gold thing is funny lol. It’s like all of Grant Hill’s All-Star selections without playing lol.
I couldn’t believe they picked Kawhi Leonard, Joel Embiid, or Anthony Davis. They rarely ever play a full season in the NBA
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Or Bron and KD
@@alfredooliva5175good point.
Or Booker or Steph either
@@alfredooliva5175Awful point, Bron and KD been ridiculously CONSISTENT
@@bhans5202 it’s definitely a borderline disability team lol.
His knees need as much recovery time as possible this off season
He's been recovering for years now. 😂
All so he can play 10 games next year
@@AggravatedMan365played 70 games this year
Bad knees & he still got $150mil!!! He the Goat 🐐!!!😂😂😂
One of the dumbest conversation. Should Khawi get the medal? This is as low as it can get on this show! Comon sense - please guys!
So Rob is saying if your company is working on a project and your name is on the assignment, but didn't do any work you should still get a bonus for the project 😂
I'm not surprised that Kawhi withdrew/ended up not being able to play, but damn this bothers me bc I effing LOVE Kawhi and I truly think he's a FANTASTIC player, as good a two-way player as there is, but him missing time all the time is so depressing
Didn't know you guys paid for comments, if not the scammers are out in full force
Getting a gold medal and you didn't even play a game or exhibition?? 😂 Rob is nuts
kawhi i remember when i thought how lucky the spurs were and they were going to keep winning chips longer after duncan retired.. what a waste kawhi turned out to be
He helped Spurs get a ring wym ?
Well Ty Lue is part of team USA coaching staff , so you fuckin right he would be cool with kawhi being sidelined.
To the shock of no one.
Just say it - Kawhi and Joel need to sit their butts down this summer and get rest/rehab. Period.
*The San Antonio Spurs need to pull Victor Wembanyama off of that French National Team* .
Just a couple days ago, those French coaches had Wemby playing garbage minutes (up by like 24 points with 4-minutes left).
I don’t think they planned on him even showing up. They just said his name to honor him.
KL should have never been on the team
This Kawhi we’re talking about here. Saying he’s got 60-70 games in him is a huge overestimate lol
Why does Rob keep misplacing his crackpipe 😂😂😂
Giving Kawhi a gold medal would be like handing out a participation ribbon. I don’t see why even he would willingly accept that.
Was shocked he was even on the roster. His body won’t allow him to do anything extra curricular.
Kawhi is on a definite pace to finish with fewer points, rebounds, assists, steals in a career than Paul George. In there best seasons, Paul George had a higher scoring, rebounding, and assist average. Kawhi is part myth.
NBA needs to implement rules about this because Kawhi is robbing the Clippers. They should force him to medically retire. I bet he would start trying to play then. But NBA needs to have rules stating if you’re so hurt you can never play you need to be out the league. smh
Ty Lue and the Clippers didn't want him to play. They want him to be healthy for the start of the season.
This conversation LMAO
you get 12 gold metals for basketball. They only go to who are in the Olympic team. You don’t get extras, coaches don’t even get metals
The clippers organization tapped dude on the shoulder and was like nope. Question if he got injured during the Olympics does he lose NBA pay?
Clippers needed to hold off on signing Kawhi until after the season I gaurantee that he would have magicly been healthy to play through playoffs.
Tell Rob to get off his phone….so disrespectful
Team USA is more important than individuals NBA teams. What the hell wrong with them
Man, where are people's heads at? It would be embarrassing to accept a gold medal when you never played a game for that team. Man, I would be like, nah you can keep that ... I don't deserve it.
There is 0% chance that I would even except a gold medal if I was him. I didn’t earn that he wants to accept it if it’s offered to him that’s on him, but it would be the most undeserved gold medal ever given out.
Its crazy in the 80s and 90s these guys played all the time for low money and now they get so much money and barely play. 🤦🏽♂️
Leonard is 'Street clothes.' 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣
Chris if Im on the team and get hurt...I get a medal.
kaw-lie Shouldn’t have been there in first place if he can’t even stay healthy enough to play Meaningful games for the team that is actually paying him.
The Clippers should have never extended Kawhi Leonard’s contract. It’s a waste of money and it’s not fair to the Clipper fan base. He’s not going to play 82 games or take them to the Finals.
Kawhi did the right thing
Shout out to the great Uncle Dennis and his negotiating skills. Legend
Wow Rob you real understanding
People talk about Rob being on his phone, but look how Chris loves to hear himself talk. You’d get disengaged too.
Always love the unbiased opinions of one Chris “klutch sports “ Broussard
LeBroussard
How do you feel about rob n his excuses for kawhi
No the Clippers gave Kawhi a taste of his own medicine by not allowing him to play to rehab his knee...same thing that Kawhi played on the Clippers when he couldn't play in the playoffs cause he was rehabbing his knee. Clippers looking after their investment.
I was very surprised he was selected to the US roster. Specially because he barely played in the playoff...
Kawhi even bother?
And he’ll still find a way to not play most of next season
He has to contribute somehow. If he's sitting at home, not doing anything no medal. If he's helping the team out then he gets one.
How do you get a medal if you've pulled put before the olympics even start? Why stop at bronze medals then, everyone should get a medal.
Dude barely plays 20 games during the nba season. I don’t know who expected that Leonard would be able to play extra games for the Olympics…
Dude he played over 70 games this session
Kawai wanted to be an Olympian so he can use that for his next contract.
Also I feel Grant Hill with his injury prone self self bad for another injury prone player
I think Embiid and AD shouldn't play due to past injuries
Has any solved the mystery of what Rob Parker is looking at while Broussard is speaking?🧐
I still say Rob has a side hustle going on when this is aired 😂
If i am not mistaken he has been in rehab for years now
AD shouldn't be playing. Larry bird was in better shape with the dream team
LeBron did NOT want Jaylen Brown - everyone knows that.
He trying to make it to the season before his next contract.
Kudos to Rob and Chris's ability to stretch out this segment.
He knew he was hurt before he joined the team. He should have respectfully declined.
They treating KW like a child.
Giannis and Luka and the international players are playing for their teams. Why do US players have to load manage so that we lose at the Olympics
They better get embiid out of there too man... these injury prone players should not be out there
Embiid needs to be next lol it’s ridiculous sixers are letting him play
Prone injuries, he will not play in Olympic d/t injury.
Kawhi is the biggest star you can't depend on. He doesn't deserve a gold medal.
Nah Joel being at the Olympics is absolutely absurd 😂 nd since we on the subject Kevin durant being there is almost as ridiculous
Why do you say that
If he's on the roster he gets a medal. He sits at home then no!
Kawhi just wanted a jersey and, got outta there.
He’s not hurt! He withdrew bc of someone else’s advice
KD said the nba has a big 30 here goes Rob and Broussard changing the narrative
Chris pls educate Rob. Who cares if he gets a medal. We should be talking about the fact that he’s always injured and he needs to find a long lasting solution to his injury….
Kawhi is chilling in the strip joints these days 😂
Always love the Odd Couple debates. I said it last year before the contract. Kawhi has the body of a 50 year old man. Physically his body can’t hold up. This should be no surprise to anyone.
Kawhi Embiid and AD
11:25 I agree with Chris. Olympics should only allow 23 years old and under just like in football. The World Cup of basketball should be the pinnacle event not the olympics. That is why USA doesn’t care about the basketball World Cup.
