    I think he had essentially created the concept but allowed others with more graphic capabilities refine it. To me, this logo is something he started and Nike helped to refine it but it should still belong to him. Nike is kind of going down the tubes man. No offense but they have gotten into krap with two of the best players in the NBA in Kawhi and Curry. With this kind of ill will, don't you think other big time stars are going to shy away from them? I would, scroo them. The good way to end it would have been to use it to sell off remaining product featuring Kawhi and then let it go. What good is it going to do for them?? They won't be able to use it, now that Kawhi has walked away from them. What fan is going to buy anything Nike has of Kawhi now?? In order for Nike to show the next wave of superstar athletes that they play fair and treat them respectfully, they should walk away from it. That is my opinion.

    I wouldn’t do this to the man, but hey, he made his choice in a Lakers town, enjoy that next season.

    Lol. Excellent.

    He made the bed. Now let's see if he will be able to sleep in it.

    I find that one guy obnoxious.

    But this is the life he chose. Especially with the Lakers being so f***ing good, Laker fans are going to be insufferable. Let him throw a pitch at Dodger Stadium and see what happens. Better to try to throw at the Angels stadium.

    If he did NOT know this was coming, he was ill informed. I was nice, I didn't call him an idiot. It will get worse for him.

    Interesting. Uncle Dennis sounds like a real prize lol. He and Balmer were made for each other.



    also from the Bleacher Report Article:

    I kind of hope they are investigated and found guilty just because of the obvious media games that were being played. That would just be fantastic, but we'll see how it goes.

    If it was us, we'd lose Kawhi and draft picks for the next decade. But its the Clippers so they'll probably get hit with the fine and then a slap on the wrist, maybe some intense finger wagging.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Magic leaked this to SAS. Kawhi's people hsve been dragging Magic through the mud saying he's a big reason Kawhi chose the Clippers over us. It would be in character and I wouldn't blame Magic for firing back. It's b******* to use Magic as a scapegoat because Kawhi didn't want to join LeBron. Kawhi should just man up and say it instead of making excuses.

    Kawhi needs an excuse. He’s going to be getting crap from Laker fans now that he’s in LA. Magic just happens to be convenient. I never thought Kawhi was a wuss, guess I was wrong.

    Not me. You either want to be here or I have no use for you. Especially the way he handled the whole thing, stringing us along.

    i'm of two minds. be great to have him, could be greater to beat that a**. it's fine. we were fine the moment we swung davis, so the rest was gravy to me. i was never as invested in the kawhi chase as the rest of the fanbase, it seems.

    his health has concerned me since last summer, but his ability to win playoff games is beyond any doubt at this point.

    as i said above, i'm enjoying that with our roster, we get to play underdog--thanks to whatever the hell he thinks he's doing. i like it. i don't think paul george likes that kind of pressure, and i don't think kawhi's ever actually played with it.

    meanwhile, i think AD and lebron are pissed. and very, very good at basketball. bring it, banana hands.

    Yep, got to admit, he had me as a lifelong fan until this. Now, I think he is just a prima donna A-hole. The ONLY reason I will watch him is to watch him lose.

    The shine is definitely off the bottle.

    Amazing how quickly perceptions change.

    He was “Quiet, mysterious, private”

    Now he’s “Sneaky, conniving, disingenuous, scheming, manipulative, and intentionally devious”

    Uncle Dennis asking for bribes is just the icing on the cake. Pop had enough of the antics and traded him out of the country lol.

    Got to admire that he made the most of that opportunity, but I do hope LAC is a complete flop of an experience for him and Ballmer.
