I'm really quiet too, and don't have any disorder or condition.
What an a**hole I must be.

Good Lord, the little stoner's got a point.

Re: Why is Kawhi so quiet?
Maybe he doesn't need to verbalize everything... He knows he's in TO this year. He knows the press conference will be the same old routine questions -- injury/future plans/role in TO, etc,, blah blah blah. I think he's the smart one.
Is anybody here a marine biologist?

Re: Why is Kawhi so quiet?
Maybe he’s just shy, but I can see why people would be anxious to hear what he has to say.
People are excited about this team and to see him bail on the press conference is obviously frustrating

Re: Why is Kawhi so quiet?
for me its fine how he is but i find it weird one of the complaints he had was about lack of endorsement dollars when a big part of that is personality and shmoozing.
cant really have it both ways but his Uncle seems to think so.

Re: Why is Kawhi so quiet?
Sounds like you answered your own question...
He seems like an introvert but I dont think he is antisocial if he can communicate with teammates and coaches.
Thats who he is. Nothing wrong with that. And if he is like this only to the media I understand why.
The media will try and twist anything you say and make you look like the bad guy. They are evil.

Re: Why is Kawhi so quiet?
Maybe the Raptors are working a trade and he doesn't want to say anything until he's on the team he actually wants to play for?

Everyone's is different and I don't know him personally but being a 27-year-old grown man who NEEDS their uncle to passively-aggressively speak on their behalf is pretty darn pathetic.
On the other hand, I recognize that it may be a mental health or psychological condition..(selective mutism? social phobia?)...But if thats the case...it would seem unlikely that he would be able to manhandle the competition and flourish in the hyper-competitive and ruthless NBA environment.
Now this is all irrelevant if he can ball out, but the thought of him continuing to be a 2-faced passive-aggressive little punk to us fans, really irks me.
So do you know him, or not?
Is it irrelevant if he can play, or is it not?
Just pick what you want to be. Someone who isn't interested in judging people they don't personally know, or someone who is. There's no middle ground.

Who cares? I want a superstar on the court. I don't give a damn if he doesn't talk to reporters, or do the 30 second interviews at halftime and after the game. Let his performance on the court do all the talking.
Be Great. Stay Quiet. (and let us max you in the summer Kawhi)

I hope we get to see results on the court as soon as possible so people shut up.
Once he's leading the team on the floor everyone will love the idea of the silent assassin type.

Lmao okay, awful logic.
If he hates the spotlight, why does he perform so well in the playoffs?
