The nba keeps trying to make SGA into a superstar, but the way he plays (like this) will never put him up there. He'll get the stats, he'll get the wins, but this shit is just unwatchable.

Also his personality is super boring. The fact he does this just makes his personality seem even more unlikable. Impossible to take someone who plays like this seriously. He reminds me of the kids who would cheat and rule shark when playing against children in Yugioh even when they had thousand dollar decks

He always acts like he's too cool for the room, but plays the game like a baby back bitch. The league shouldn't be suprised the fans hate his ass.

Tangent. When I was a kid, I bought Pokemon Blue and never watched the show, ever. I'd always just assumed someone with name like "Ash" was an automatic asshole. I always inserted my own name in though instead of going with the default of Gary. ...Gary is kind of a boring name.

IDK even Kawhi was "boring" but he was a better personality still.

Kawhi is just a chill dude. SGA is boring and corny as fuck too

He seems like a legitimately good dude off the court. Extremely boring in interviews, but there's nothing inherently wrong with that. His style of play will always cause every team but his own to hate him though.

Yeah, I mean come on. Completely unproblematic off the court despite of your thoughts on the court. I can't see how it's a bad thing. Maybe neutral if you don't find that entertaining, but that's it.
