I don’t think he’s popular or good enough to garner much hate tbh.

I imagined him holding up 4 fingers while answering when I read the title.

Compareable my ass, what Kawhi did that whole time prior to and even after being traded was way worse.

I know I’ll probably get shit for this, but when I see people like you I’m just like are you really a Spurs fan? All the shit he pulled purposely fucking over the organization, disappearing and disrespecting his teammates and coaches, indifference to the fans, all the nonsense etc. Talking shit even after being traded and making remarks immediately after winning a championship that season. With all that shit, you not understanding why fans still hate him till this day is honestly pretty knuckleheaded.

I see you put a lot of thought into writing this post and I read everything, but still, I’m just thinking “Fuck Kawhi”. You’re right about people being petty and don’t care about not booing him for the sake of being classy because I am one of them. I’d argue what nephew did that whole season and during offseason and even the season after he got traded to the Raptors was way worse than Harden’s situation with Houston.

If anything should be considered classless it would be how he handled everything. Disappearing and ignoring his coaches and teammates, dragging the organization’s name through the mud, purposely bombing his trade value after requesting for a trade etc etc. Even his THANK YOU! letter to the fans were such a joke and came days, weeks after he got traded. So yeah, I don’t care about being classy. Any franchise player pulling what he did to an organization deserves to be booed by the fans for the rest of their career.

Yea, the Heat tightened up their defense on Danny Green taking away his 3’s and then he tried doing too much and it wasn’t pretty. Still love him as a player though.

I remember watching it live, that was very sucky.
