8 years ago today 6ix got the fun guy
You’re looking at the most complete basketball player in 2019.
Having an absolute killer in the playoffs was so refreshing. You just kinda knew you could rely on him if things went to shit. It was still nerve wracking but not in the same way it had been before.
That jam on Giannis on basically one good leg is something I’ll never forget (and obviously the dagger against Philly.)
I will never forget how badly he carried the Raptors against the 76ers. The entire team minus maybe Siakam was scared to shoot. They just kept passing the ball back to him and Kawhi said alrighty we live and die with my attempts.
Just an UNBELIEVABLE playoffs run. He gave it everything and got the reward.
Serge showed up in game 7 too #NeverForget
That 76ers team was ssooooooo deep too!
If Kawhi doesn’t make that shot, I don’t think we win OT tbh. The 76ers had clawed their way back from a pretty big deficit and the momentum was awful.
Kawhi did not care. Just put that ball up and ended it.
Such a different feeling having a guy on your side who is as good if not better than every other team’s star player. It’s a kind of comfort we never had before or after. Maybe for a very quick moment with Vince?
I remember after game 1 against magic where they lost ppl were panicking saying it was the same old shit lol
DJ Augustin legacy game. Pascal gave Orlando the belt in game 2 though. That set the tone that it wasn’t the same old, easily folded Raptors.
Edit: wait no that was game 3. Game 2 was a Kawhi domination.
He was the most ruthless player in the game back then
Remember the no look steal he had against (I think) Minny? Shit was crazy. He was just on another level.
That diving no look steal right ?
People badly disrespect his mental game and his leadership. It’s one of the more shocking things I’ve seen even raptors fans do.
This being almost a decade old is giving me the biggest mind fuck right now
Same bro. 2020-2023 was a blur
Brother it’s 2026
Less than 100 days to 2027!
The video of the Kawhi Laugh set to the NBA on NBC theme song is the greatest thing the internet has ever produced

Good times! We forgive you and are ready to roll Klaw 😭🙏🏾
Practice?
It’s why we play the game.
Playoffs?
They are who we thought they were.
And this…
That was absolutely the best intro everyone needed not knowing if he would even show up… Well played Fun Guy 😂
He was laughing at his aspiration to become a champion.
Tree planting is a demanding gig. Lots of calories lost.
Can you guys stop
No it’s reddit, where redditors repeat other peoples jokes and think it’s hilarious
Of someone asked me, “What would you like people to know about you?” I would not have a good answer. I don’t need people to know anything about me. Maybe some specific individuals I want to know personal details, but for like workplace acquaintances I don’t really think there’s anything they need to know. Just work with me and get to know me as we go.
what it do babyyy
laughing thinking about all the trees he didn’t plant
This was pre-treevillain kawhi
He was just the villain in San Antonio at that point. Now it’s everywhere but Toronto. And if it goes poorly (which I honestly don’t think it will) people will turn here too.
I would say Tony Parker is more of a villain for that franchise, if we’re being honest. On the court and off the court.
Didn’t realize how much smaller he is now
Dude destroyed the Clippers single handedly and just went right back to Canada lmao
I don’t think you know what single-handedly means
That Oklahoma education never stops giving
Hey hey hey
Dammn man take me back to 2018 even..
Maybe the least marketable basketball player of all time took a massive bag for advertising a scam company
He sounds like a creep in this interview
Maybe the least marketable basketball player of all time
The guy who single handedly transformed New Balance from invisible in the sports space to being an upper echelon prestige brand capable of signings like Shohei Ohtani and Josh Allen.
Totally unmarketable.
Likely just on the spectrum, which is why he’s robotic with his answers, because stuff like that doesn’t really click on how he should respond to those types of questions.
How the fuck does he sound like a creep. Y’all weirdos on reddit are a bunch of losers.
