How would Kawhi’s career have turned out if he didn’t get injured by Zaza and the following injuries since.
Fuck Zaza.
Fuuuuuck Zaza. I think I can finally get over this now though. Praise be to Wemby
inb4 Zaza came back to the NBA against the Spurs this season 👀
Don’t you put that evil on me Ricky bobby
Forever and for always
Honestly, without the Zaza stuff he probably still has a similar career, he was already injured in that game and even without Zaza his legs would still have the structural problems, it would probably just be a different catalyst.
He probably would still have left SA, though possibly on better terms than the shit show that it ended up being. It might have changed nothing. the GSW were stacked and even if they win that game 1, it doesn't mean they win the series. It could have played out almost exactly the same way it did.
there are tons of conspiracy theories and nuance to that whole shit show that I am sick of thinking about so meh. Some fans seem to think a huge lead in game 1 means we would have won the series and it means nothing of the sort. It was a critical turning point, the injury, but you cannot assume changing history right there. GSW was fucking loaded.
What if kawhi never left Toronto …
