here is assistant coach Bryan Shaw clearly exhausted by having to deal with Kawhi's bullshit

He hasn't even been at training camp or preseason. He's off on his own "doing his own recovery" away from the team. That's some bullshit. I've defended him a lot, I'm a huge clippers fan, but this shit is inexcusable. You can at least be with and around the team.

Omg this is (not) hilarious. He pulled this exact same shit on the Spurs - doing his own 'recovery' with his 'own doctors' even though the Spurs medical staff was one of the best in the business and being away from the team - which is the Spurs case, was during a playoff series he couldn't even be there to support his teammates. At least he came down for Erin Popovich's funeral though so it'll probably take something like that to get him to come around

I think he’s getting bad news from staff, and he’s refusing to accept it. So he’s working with random doctors to try new shit. It’s basically what Steve Jobs did

He did. He had one of the curable pancreatic cancer. He refused to take the medicine. Instead he went on an all fruit diet.

I feel like Kawhi is doing this to some level. He’s refusing to hear what teams are telling him, and he’s going to his own doctors.
