1:12 mark
Reporter: Draymond, What makes Kawhi such a beast to deal with?
Draymond: Uh, he's a good player.
Reporter: Specifically, how would compare him to dealing with peak Lebron?
Draymond: He's a great player and Lebron is a out of this world - one of the greatest players we ever seen. Uh... different players though.
Reporter: How so?
Draymond: They, they got 2 different names. They like different people. Uh...like...yeah they just different. Um...they not the same person.
Just a special kinda a$$hole
Didn't watch the video..but from what you wrote..He said Kawhi is a great player...And i think the last thing Dray wants to do right now is compare Lebron and Kawhi.
He's trying to get another chip..not praise Kawhi.
And why are there reporters asking questions like this? It's the finals and they still cant take Lebrons nuts out of their mouths? Ask questions related to the game they're going to play or things regarding GSW.
Again i didn't watch the video so im guessing it's the tone in which he is speaking in?
Reads like he's trying to avoid being baited into a hot take by the media. Actually seems smart
Yeah, he is just keeping the response neutral to avoid letting himself be baited into a gotcha quote. One of the reporters tried to bait Lowry yesterday also, asking "Considering its the last game ever at Oracle, how awesome would it be to win tomorrow and shut down their arena with a Raptors championship?". Lowry was having none of it and answered very neutrally.
The last thing you want to do is say something that turns into bulletin board motivation for the other team.
