also when do we talk about KAT being the new Curry now that Trae is out and Steph is washed. The man is averaging 32/13/5, shooting 51% from behind the arc on 9.7 3PA???

Who are the least popular superstars in the last 40 years?
I always felt that Hakeem and Duncan were not really widely popular but at least they were beloved in their own town. I was always a Hakeem fan because there was not much else to root for in the 90s (horrible time to be an NBA fan).
Dirk I think was a little more popular than both of those guys and I would assume he also owned most of Germany so he doesn't belong in the conversation.
Kawhi to me seems like the winner because he burned his bridges in the two places the loved him, the Clippers technically don't have any fans and for whatever reason his robot personality and snake life behavior doesn't seem to be winning over the media and general fans.
The only other guy who is in the conversation is probably Garnet. But I am not even sure he was a legit superstar.

Yeah after Kawhi he is probably number 2.
Even in Utah I think they probably only liked him because they had to.
Its hard to root for that dude.
You got me excited for the ESPN game before the Jazz. But no, it's just the fucking Celtics again.
Robbed of Embiid vs KAT
Life is full of mistakes and hard decisions.
Luckily this one would be both the best and easiest decision of your life.
Question for you guys because my BBIQ is still low, but a lot of people are saying that ad was flopping up to get those free throws. Ngl I felt that It was getting kinda ridiculous in the third quarter, where the refs kept giving him free throw afe free throw. Do you think that his free throws were legitimately earned, or gotten mostly through flopping?
There are too many applicants for us to take everyone.
I think we are going to have to prioritize who we will allow to get in.
Cmon Spin, this is a Lakers bandwagon. We have standards. We can't just let all the dregs and bum on like it is some kind of Clippers thing.
He was beating his defender to rim or to his spot and they were reaching.
Those fouls are deserved.
You have to play better defense before you cry foul.
That said I am sure some of those fouls are BS, as would happen with any player that shot more than 20 FTs in a game. But he got most of them driving and defenders were not in front of him. Sometimes its hard not to blow that whistle...
huh i think people really like kawhi. His stale personality has made him a top NBA meme 2 years in a row
Who exactly are these people? He lost all his fans in San Antonio and Canadia. The Clippers have no fans. And I don't think he has a fanbase nationwide despite being the best player in the world. Dude is just unlikeable.
Also, this is funny.
are we even sure these "clippers" exist?
lmao this the type of shit I need in my veins
1 chip in the last 30 or so years, you hate to see it
Ha, I noticed that last night before anything was said. I didn't mention it because he was injured for a lot of the season and it didn't really feel honorable to leverage that.
Kawhi game is real smooth when his terminator senses are going.
least popular superstar has to be both boring in personality and play style. Their dominance too polished, too stale, too dull. A man who swears he's never committed a foul in his career.
there's only one man who fits that

Dude has a city that loves him though.Kawhi game is real smooth when his terminator senses are going.

Kawhi can't even get a fresh pair of Nikes without paying for them.

When they play some real teams
I saw on Twitter that he got benched in the 2nd quarter in their last game lol
In my 1 and a half years of being a Lakers fan I have never seen anything like this. Not everyone deserves this blessing.
The championship cookout at your place will be lit.
I honestly have no idea how the Celts even attempt to defend the Bucks tonight, but I'm curious to see how they try. Horford was a big part of what success they had. I imagine Semi will see more minutes than usual, but I'm really curious to see how many minutes they play Grant. This is a big test for him and how much they trust him, which I think is a lot - they've been so good defensively with him on the floor, but this is a different beast.
I think the Celts can definitely have success on the perimeter against this Bucks team - not sure if guys like Korver, Connaughton, Ilyasova will be able to stay on the court. Going to be a really interesting matchup game.

To be clear I'm not saying that he's specifically going to go to the Hawks. I don't know AD or what his team's plans are. What i do know is that last summer 6 stars left their teams for playoff teams that largely fit the description. Playoff teams with enough cap space and/or dead money to be able to absorb their skills without losing any key rotation pieces. Stars want to win, not drag bad teams to the playoffs, so now they join playoff teams the more wins the better if the opportunity presents itself.
AD will stay in LA if it benefits him to do so and he knows that he will have legitimate help, and as of 2019 its clear that Lebron doesn't count as that anymore. Next year's free agent class is awful. So unless Kyle Kuzma is an Allstar (He's not) LA will be outgunned and back in the lottery with their picks going to New Orleans. Its a no win situation for AD, Unless he has Iron Cladd promises that he will have star teammates join him in 2020
Edit: LEAST POPULAR SUPERSTAR
Recent Years its 100% Dwight. Honorable Mention Jimmy Butler

Are they going to "show" that they can win a game against them, rather than get swept like last season. 😁
I liked Chris Paul when he was on my Clippers, but I don't think he's too popular with people not rooting for his team and I can't imagine that there are a ton of Thunder fans right now.
The vibe with Thunder Fans is that He's pretty washed up but don't want anyone to know so he still has trade value. Also most would rather start Dennis Schroeder if it wouldn't destroy Paul's trade value
I'd rather get swept in a season series than a 1st round playoff series.
Perfection.
Apparently Lakers going from contenders to lottery in a single year.
Thats quite the prediction!
No doubt, must have sucked all those playoff exits before Kawhi.
Heh, but seriously, hope it's a good game. Injuries suck.
