Stephen Jackson on reports Kawhi Leonard will rehab with Spurs again | UNDISPUTED

what we're doing, let's find my Steven Jackson, he started crying. I need help with this. I need a little wisdom. We all know what's going on here. Well, I know Kauai. I like it. I told him that I spoke to him about a month ago when he had the second injury, so let's say second injury. I called him and the action was very good, you know, because they were

reports

that things were not good. Paradise and he wasn't hurt. It was supposed to be a lot, but I called him and he said he's fine and everything is fine. in paradise, so that's all I can go on.

You know, I'm hearing about the horse's mouth meeting on Kauai. He wants to be in talks with KD LeBron. He wants to be one of the Big Five's best brothers and approaches the game as such. so him not playing right now is something else we know well or he's actually hurt and I just don't see him not playing for reasons other than tax reasons, you know, and pop, you know, pop, once I won't stop the guy for his personal reasons. It comes across all about the team wanting to win, so I can only think that he's really hurt and they're doing what's best for him, but something tells me that has more to do with the story than us.

I don't know vibranium does vibranium do good yeah, maybe he's just feeling better. I know a lot of people

will

say if he heard what pop said. I'll bet your doorknob a Commodore cube that Kauai left it on TV about what pop. He says, give him that, he's got his mentality, Skippy March, he does his thing, he doesn't pay attention to what anyone says, skill, I'm telling his personality, he's got the personality, he's impulsive, he doesn't say much, he holds back. , but when it blows, it blows, so he just goes about his business. Hey, I have this little tickle.

He still bothers me. I know what they're saying, but I don't feel good. I never felt like he was like this. Maybe he's trying to hold. They as hostages he leaves oh, he had a grudge

again

st someone. I really thought he was hurt. It's hard for me to believe that I don't know him that well, but it's hard for me to believe that he would do it. I'm just not playing that. his character doesn't catch my attention because I didn't think it was in his character what you're trying to say jump yeah well it's get it off your chest something's not right here hey I know he came back I think partly because he was embarrassed to go back.

I think I'll say it one more time and this man knows what I'm talking about. This is the best organization in sports, especially when it comes to being patient with player injuries. Knick Knack injuries, no problem. Well, take all the time you need, especially when it comes to injury

rehab

ilitation. This team has been at the forefront, the New England Patriots of the NBA, and how to deal with injuries, and all of a sudden, Kawhi Leonard came calling, who took most of it. The problem was how they asked him to

rehab

ilitate what to me was not a traumatic injury.

He took a knee in the thigh and the tendon hurt a little bit, because he connected to the knee at the knee and it was sore and he didn't do it. like how they said go to rehab, but whatever, I don't know all the details of what they said, do this, do that and he said it hurts, no, that's how we've always done it, no, that hurts and it's It got so bad that he broke away and went to another doctor, another surgeon and he went to another physiotherapist and he challenged them and said: "you don't understand, I'm hurt" and they flat out said we allow you to play, it's the Spurs that say It's not the Sacramento Kings say so and you say I don't think I trust the Kings management like I trust these people.

I didn't always like pop, you didn't always like pop, but I try. I believe in strength at the top. of this franchise and this is the first star that has challenged the entire franchise, you had your problems with coach Popovich, but you respected the organization because you just did it, everyone does it, nobody, nobody, the Duncans Ginobili, nobody lacked the respect for the organization. I got to that point and I'm devastated by this because it's so bad and I think there was an ordinary pressure on a Kawhi Leonard who had never had so much pressure of expectations on his shoulders than suddenly last year.

It was like there was no Tim Duncan, but it's Kauai and LaMarcus who, as you know, together

will

take on the new burden without Tim Duncan and it happened that in the playoffs you could see that LaMarcus couldn't handle it. charge and then Kawhi got hurt

again

st Golden State and the rest is history, then we get to this year and I don't know half the analysts I read, starting with Chris Broussard here at Fox Hawaii to be the NDP and I think that was it. There was a lot about him and I think it's hard because he wasn't cut this way, you know him, he came from a tough upbringing and he was never the type until he suddenly developed late, right?

Nobody saw this. the steal of the century in the driver I was good, you tried, they traded George Hill for Kawhi Leonard effectively because of that pick, excuse me for talking about coach Popovich, he named him to come back, did you see his jackleg commercial if he wasn't embarrassed by that commercial ? who didn't do anything we look like, as well known as drag, it's hard for me to believe that someone of his caliber, his talent, I mean, like you said, he's in the MVP discussion, he finished second to last, he'd be pretty second, third, third. , Hardy was second, finished third. two time NBA winner two time Defensive Player of the Year this guy wouldn't be there if he wasn't hurt now I have a bruise five now I'm counting what I did I had a bruise five my rookie year in Denver and I'm trying to make the team It skips and you know what they don't do with fibrosis, they told me, man, what you have to do is sleep with your leg bent.

I put a belt around my leg which I slept with for a bit. All night man, I have such a big knife in my leg that I had to play. I have a deluxe kawaki toka rocky. Take as much time as you would like. It means coming back bad. I'm up there limping and like I'm in one. leg, so I know the bruise on the thigh can be painful and he said, I mean, they say this property triple left or whatever. Kippy says he's a sick attendant, he could be and maybe he's just feeling better. What's up with that?

You know, I hope so. You're bad and you wake up one day and you join in and you feel good like I felt good today without seeming really because I couldn't sleep because I needed to sleep with it all night. I couldn't hold it there. all night because you know you're going to stretch it if the belt, which is the hardest injury to have, it's definitely hard to push everything but touch to get back to what you touched, not just the Spurs, one of the best organizations, but also One of the best things is that they actually care about their players, not just about basketball, and that's why a lot of guys respect the power because he cares about you from time to time, yes, but that's why he's a It's kind of hard to figure out what's going on, because you've got the pop who's a father figure type who really cares about the kids and might want what's best for Kauai, yeah, so you've got a situation where okay, I need you on the team. , but if we say you're healthy and you don't feel healthy now you bump your head into a wire cutter trainer and that's something that's never happened so it's hard to see what's going on because you don't know if he's cooperating or you don't know. what makes you nervous and normally I never saw the star player and the pop go through the situation.

It was new when Gregg Popovich stood up and made that statement coming out of the All-Star break. He basically said: I'm done with guai. We go forward and upward. going on without that, look at Kauai, that's like a while, look at that pop, what do you think of that state? Look at Kauai, look at it there, you know, it's so annoying to no one, thanks for watching, subscribe here to get the latest on the show and make sure. to see more of the best clips from
