Aldridge: Kawhi wasn't down with Popovich's extracurricular interests, just wanted to hoop

LaMarcus Aldridge and Kawhi Leonard teamed up with the San Antonio Spurs for a few seasons before the dramatic exit between Leonard and San Antonio.
So he might know what could have led to the split and he shared that with Showtime's "All The Smoke Show" hosted by Matt Barnes and ex-Spur Stephen Jackson.
Barnes brought up the topic of Leaonrd's exit which caused Aldridge to laugh.
He proceeded to give his opinion on the tense situation and believed that ultimately Leonard just wanted to play basketball and not be immersed in coach Gregg Popovich's real-world teachings.
"When somebody's ready to go, they ready to go," said Aldridge. "(Expletive) was going back and forth with them but we didn't know what was going on."
"I ain't going to speak for nobody but he didn't want to do all the other (expletive) that Pop did too. Like the learning. He just wants to hoop. Everybody don't want to learn what's in Africa. Learn the maps and he just wanted to hoop. I ain't saying that's right or wrong but he just didn't want to do that."

Completely off topic but not really because it's Spurs related...
Who is the dude that's shooting one armed free throws for the Spurs? What's up with that? I mean... he made both of them so it works for him... maybe more players need to shoot free throws that way.

So he sat out a bunch of games and forced a trade because he just wanted to play?

Yeah when the postseason comes around Jim Harden will be totally fine. Clippers are title faves.

Everyone looks to be getting along very well
Lots of Chemistry. As long as Kawhis healthy we are the Favorites

Jeremy Sochan. We went to a game before Christmas and it’s a tad bit off putting. Fairly accurate so I can’t complain.

pop the world scholar and hacktivist, lol

You mean he didn't want to sit and listen to Pop's political activist bullshite and just wanted to play basketball?

Phil Jackson was genuine with his spiritual kumbaya stuff, but I don’t think anyone would claim it was the primary driver of success for that Bulls team. Pop and others decided to replicate it to some degree in hopes of having similar results.
However, I’m sure it comes across the same way as the obviously disingenuous BS team building activities companies force their employees into in hopes of boosting morale/“engagement”.
Kawhi just wants to do his job and then go home; aren’t most of us of the exact same mindset?

He wanted to shut up and dribble?
Now he has my respect.
Now he has my respect.
