if my colleague half ass it at work and receive 3x the pay. I would also be irritated

What if he is 10x better than you, has delivered in the past and is supposed to carry the team


So that is an excuse for half assing? The effort should always be there regardless.

Ah yes because that's the only way to know a leader, talk to him directly daily, u know just like how everyone does with the president, not by witnessing major decisions and cultural/financial changes/impacts, psss that's stoopid. Oh btw let me call my buddy Trump/Biden, I need to vote soon so I gotta like really know their leadership by having a direct chit chat.

Kawhi is a crappy leader. This is the opposite of "leading from the front".

I believe that’s why Pat Riley and LeBron clashed. After a game in Cleveland LeBron wanted to stay longer and fly down later on a private. Riley told Spo to tell him to get his ass on the team plane and fly back together or there would be discipline.
Riley is old old school. He knows a bad locker room is a significant problem.

The other thing that pissed off Lebron in Miami was that Riley wouldn't give his Klutch buddies (i.e. posse), Rich Paul, Maverick, etc..., the same unlimited access that they had in Cleveland. That was critical to them building their agency business.
