His uncle Dennis also had some pretty ridiculous demands and requests in Toronto too

Pop's comments about Kawhi's leadership were bang on and nothing has changed. This isn't an indictment on Kawhi, it's just the truth, he's a quiet, private man and just because you're an all world talent that doesn't mean you're automatically gonna be a great leader.

I never wanted Kawhi to leave the Spurs because it seemed like a perfect fit, but when he won in Toronto I 100% didn't want him to leave because that seemed like even a better fit. Perfect medical staff, great roster surrounding him, an amazing coach in Nick Nurse, and Masai Ujuri as the GM who took a gamble by trading for Kawhi and won. The Raptors could've ran it back for sure.

Kawhi was always the least likely guy to leave San Antonio. As mentioned in the video, Tim Duncan visited Orlando in 2000 and told Doc that he was going to leave the Spurs, he just wanted to tell Pop in person first. Then the Spurs quickly summoned David Robinson to bail on his vacation and do whatever it took to keep Duncan from leaving. Even Manu once flirted with the Nuggets. A young Tony Parker was nearly expendable after the Spurs had a verbal agreement with Jason Kidd, only for Kidd to decide to re-sign with the Nets at the last minute.<br><br>Kawhi leaving never crossed my mind. He was essentially a custom made Spur. Quiet. Drama free (or so it seemed). Hated the media. Loved Pop. As they visited the country, Pop used to take him out one-on-one so he could experience new cultures. I will never understand what happened. I think there was a lot of miscommunication on both sides, and I def think a certain someone was in Kawhi's ear. <br><br>And it seems clear that Kawhi is easily influenced by others. But the Spurs are a weird animal, much like the Pats. The Spurs don't refer to themselves as a franchise, they call it "the program," like a college coach would. And they are closer to a college program than an NBA due to Pop's controlling nature. That attitude is great when you're winning, but when you start losing, the franchise's flaws start to amplify. Over the last few years—even the last few weeks—we've begun to witness some of those exposed cracks in San Antonio (and perhaps in Kawhi's camp as well).

I don't think the Spurs fans were "hating" on Kawai. They were responding to the fact that the Leonard camp was doing a lot of shady crap.

Well this aged well! Pesky Uncle Dennis finally got his way and led to the downfall of one of the greatest two way players of all time!!

As a Spurs fan, I generally ask myself from time to time what could've been. What would've happened if Zaza didn't pull that dirty play that really got this incident started? What would've happened had Kawhi's uncle not gotten involved? So much lost that screwed up the Spurs and someone who could've been the next Duncan or Robinson for the Spurs is gone forever.
