The best player
The Future league MVP

Good names IMO.

What about his fans, I want to be a "Kawhiever"!

[apalisoc_9]

Maybe that must be Manu's nickname, so underrated.

Now that I think about it, Manu is probably the most underrated.

Manu is Easily the third best spur of all time.

Now
The overrated player on Spurs
He play with consistently he might be an Allstar
He has not gotten there yet

Can we just not use that stupid "Sugar K Leonard" name that Shaq created. I much prefer either of the traditionally accepted "The Claw" or "Kingslayer"

Sugar K Leonard rolls off the tounge nicely, but Kinglslayer and The Klaw are cool to.

[gambit1990]

kawhi said he didn't like "the claw" but that he doesn't mind "sugar k leonard". i used to like "king slayer" until i started watching game of thrones and realized that guy fucks his sister. i like "hand of the king" a lot.

Damn these just brought back good memories. Two favorite Kawhi moments were probably the Westbrook block an putback dunk against the Heat, damn why is the season so far away.

[Silver&Black]

No. He's a beta

Then you're a gotdamn fool...

Why do you hate the guy so much? He plays hard every time he's on the court, he keeps his mouth shut, he plays lockdown D......basically when I think of a true "Spurs material guy" he's what I think of.

If you want to knickname Kawhi after his BBall abilities, then name him fucking Fox or something like that. Anything that's good at stealing things from humans and other animals.

I 100% agree on the Kawhi will never be a League MVP. That's not really a knock against the guy though. The HOF is full of great players who never won a League MVP. Kawhi has the talent and work ethic to become League MVP....but playing in the Spurs system....it'll never happen. Especially, with Pop limiting players minutes like he does.

The "I'm just talking shit about Kawhi to keep his Stans in check" post really irritates me though. Your analysis about a player should be based on on-court performances. Nothing more. If your judgement is based on whether or not the people you hate on ST like him or not......that's just.....smh.

Why replace an interesting, singular name like "Kawhi" with some lesser nickname that is a struggle to dream up? If it doesn't naturally suggest itself, a nickname isn't very good. All of the suggestions for Kawhi just seem contrived. Nobody is gonna say, "Kawhi who?"

Nailed it.


If Kawhi ever leaves San Antonio, I'm blaming all the idiots who've just kept on calling him the claw or the hand, after he's said early on and more than once that he doesn't like those. And why would he? They're lame as fuck, and label him like a freak.

Kawhi is so badass as it is.

[AFMadison]

Kawhi's not a systems player but he's definitely a role player. There's a huge difference between system and role, but saying that he is a role player is not a bad thing at all. He's top notch.
It's gonna suck when the elders retire but it will be interesting to see how Kawhi handles being the go to guy opposite LMA.

I hate Kawow also. I don't know why the the spurs commentator has to say that every time. I've never heard Sean say it though.
Sugar K is ok. Don't they call him Whi-Whi though?
I haven't been here long but can someone explain why users like "The Great Yacht" are always criticizing or insulting Kawhi? Are they even spurs fans or just here to troll? lol

[TheDoctor]

that's such a badass logo too....

:tu Props to the guy who came up with it

Kawhi came up with it. He then passed the idea to the branding team at Jordan, they polished it, KL agreed to the changes made and that's it.

One thing is acknowledging your hand as your logo but being nicknamed as something as The Klaw, Claw or Hand is ugly.

Is like nicknaming MJ as "The Spreader" or "The Leg Spreader" after his Flight logo.

THIS. In a few years, everybody will know "Kawhi", if they don't already. Guys calling the game won't even need to say his last name.
The only thing I worry about is the new parents during the "Kawhi era". There's going to a lot of Kawhi Martinez's and Kawhi Garcia's growing up in San Antonio.

The Claw is actually a very suitable. Kawhi should lead the league in steals for quite some years. Very comparable to The Glove for Gary Payton.

Yeah, "The Glove" was a really cool nickname, "The Klaw" or "The Claw" is just as good. Not sure why people make up inspired stuff like "Sugar K".

I don't think he needs to follow the crowd by having some nickname - just "Kawhi" is much cooler. Everybody can have some nickname, but few of us have given names that are so immediately recognizable. BTW, "Sugar K" is not something people just made up. It is an homage to some giants in the sports world: "Sugar Ray Robinson"... then "Sugar Ray Leonard"... then "Sugar K Leonard"... As such, if we have to give Kawhi a nickname, that is the only one that seems very inspired, and I hope he lives up to.

Most of the guys with "Sugar" as their nickname are in boxing. A different sport, plus why copy an already established name for someone else? He should have his own original nickname or nothing at all.

It is a dumb name for basketball. In boxing, the word "sweet" has its own connotation. Heck, boxing is called "the sweet science", so sugar makes sense.

Shaq probably didn't make that connection when he nicknamed kawhi into "sugar k".

a "role player" destroyed LeBeta :lol


LeBeta? And this is from someone with BigCock in their name talking about alleged alt accounts that registered the same day? Could you be anymore of a tryhard faggot :lol


Kawhi isn't even a cumstain on LeBron's old boxers and if he were on those heat teams 2013-2014 instead of LeBron then they don't even get past the 2nd round of the playoffs. btw i don't hate him or anything as i'm not part of the player fanboy disputes and recognize him as a ceiling of the 2nd best player on a stacked/deep title team, or 3rd best player on a more shallow title team. Someone though has to interrupt the spurclejerk when things like kingslayer or durant's equal get tossed around

How bout "Kawhi Jelly" because his game is the lube that makes the Spurs defense run

[TheDoctor]

Yeah, "The Glove" was a really cool nickname, "The Klaw" or "The Claw" is just as good. Not sure why people make up inspired stuff like "Sugar K".

"The Glove" sucks as much as "The Klaw". Just that Gary Payton embraced it and liked it. Kawhi on the other hand (no pun) doesn't like Klaw/Claw/Hand or whatvs that has to do with extremities.

Right you dont hate him or anything you just completely dog on the guy every chance you get smh. Take kawhi off the spurs that season and those playoffs we are not even in the finals, kawhi is easily one of the main reasons we even matched up well with that heat team. Not a player fanboy but all over cams junk. Almost as bad as another clown on here.

True, but so what? it is an honor not because of the sport, but because of the men to whom it refers.


plus why copy an already established name for someone else?

It is not a copy but an homage, and not to a sport, but to some iconic men of sport. (Aside to ceperez: I suspect Shaq did know of the precedents he was building on. I don't really care for the guy, but Shaq is smarter and more knowledgeable than you may think.


He should have his own original nickname or nothing at all.

Count me with the Nothing at All crowd. (I was just explaining the etymology of the "Sugar K" moniker to somebody who didn't appear to grasp it.) The very fact that a bunch of us fans are arguing about what his nickname should be on this forum is proof that any nickname is not very good. "Kawhi" will surely stand the test of time much better.

Everybody who saw him play remembers Gary Payton, but "The Glove" - not so much...

None of this changes the fact Kawhi put it to LeBron.

[Dro210]

Kawhi came up with it. He then passed the idea to the branding team at Jordan, they polished it, KL agreed to the changes made and that's it.

One thing is acknowledging your hand as your logo but being nicknamed as something as The Klaw, Claw or Hand is ugly.

Is like nicknaming MJ as "The Spreader" or "The Leg Spreader" after his Flight logo.

:tu The logo is legit, the hand/claw names aren't. Why are people too dense to realize this?


THIS. In a few years, everybody will know "Kawhi", if they don't already. Guys calling the game won't even need to say his last name.
The only thing I worry about is the new parents during the "Kawhi era". There's going to a lot of Kawhi Martinez's and Kawhi Garcia's growing up in San Antonio.

:lol

after it's been said a million times on this forum, amongst Spurs fans that pay attention, and by Kawhi Leonard himself, all from day one... That the "claw/hand" shit sucks and is borderline offensive to him.

lol, nice trolling fag. Nobody's dumb enough to actually believe this. It's doesn't even make sense either. 2nd best on a stacked team, but only 3rd best on one that's not? 1/10

It doesn't make sense? I'm not here to break it down if you're too pea-brained to understand it. On a stacked team with legit depth 1-12 and super role players like Tiago Splitter and Danny Green and Patty Mills, etc, Kawhi as your 2nd best player is good enough to win a title. On a team where there's a huge fall off after the 5th or 6th guy and you are starting the likes of Dellavescruba, Tristan Thompson, and playing James Jones major minutes, for instance, Kawhi as your 2nd best player isn't nearly good enough to win a title. And that's fine. But that bit of truth makes names like kingslayer sound really gay in context

I see what you're trying to say, misinterpreted it cause you type like shit. It's still a shit take tho.

But we should also be worried about his influence on kids.
When we picked out her outfit for today (super hero theme for school) she chose her Kawhi Leonard jersey & Spider Girl cape.

Klawhi Meownard

[-21-]

His name is unique enough that he can be known on a first name basis (ala Kobe & LeBron). In terms of an actual nickname, the Klaw is the one that seems to have stuck, even if he doesn't like it.

[AFMadison]

His name is Kawhi. No nickname needed.
