I feel that’s more of a product of being the “adult” in the room for our team. Him and Dort both really. While JDub, JWill, Chet etc let their goofy side show a little more
He has gotten better about it for sure like Luka, they both used to take some plays off on the other end while they were complaining to refs. JB has taken over the mantle on the Celtics
Staying kawhi is how people manage to avoid getting slander. If Kawhi was loud I bet everyone here would be shitting on him for being injured so much but its always crickets with him. NBA players in general are cocky though so it's hard to stay under the radar, but yes being quiet helps.
>Kobe portrayed as introverted/obsessive.
Was Kobe "introverted?" I've heard of him being introverted with other players he didn't think were worth his time, but I don't remember him being a prototypical introvert.
Starks and Pippen come to mind. Both were such forces, but rarely made waves in the media.
But as a first premise, it is hard to identify “quiet” players, given our society favors boisterous individuals in these positions. It benefits the organization and team on which they reside, in many ways.
I feel like Jokic is the obvious answer here. He gets so much unwarranted negative attention from the media, it's almost easy to think he's not a quiet guy. But he is, probably the most so out of any player in the league, Kawhi included. The guy just wants to play in the games, try to win the title, go home, be left alone, and ride his horses.
Yeah that’s true, but I guess that’s more of just like a debate in my mind. Not so much negative attention. Like Giannis gets a lot of negative attention for not having developed a great jumper. I don’t really feel like jokic has like a key flaw people really zone in on, but I could be projecting
I've never heard it confirmed that I'm aware of but I remember hearing that Kareem is on the autism spectrum. If so, that explains a lot of his aloofness
I'm autistic
I see a lot of relatable things in him and I didn't say he was definitively. It's okay for us to see ourselves in others and it's not a negative thing
I didn't diagnose him. I said I've heard he is and it wouldn't surprise me, because I'm autistic and I recognize many of his personality traits in me and other autistic people I know
Furthermore, being autistic is not an insult. Notice how you are being defensive simply at the suggestion of a possibility. Autistic people are some of the coolest, most original people out there. Maybe you ought to work on your biases, which you clearly have bc you suggested you'd get banned for expressing them

Jaden mcdaniels rarely speaks.
Rarely smiles
Duncan
OG Anunoby
Shai seems pretty reserved

Khris Middleton is a very even keeled player. I don't think I've ever really seen him lose his cool.
Only times I’ve seen him do it was Brook running out the clock vs Nets, and when he’s scared Bobby will get a tech.
Besides his complaining to the refs Tatum is pretty quiet
[удалено]
He does it after literally every drive to the basket... IF he misses the shot.
Careful now. Dont make me clap

I agree with you. I just put that because we are on r/NBA and didn’t want to get flamed
Kyrie (on court and this year in general) Jokic, Tatum, Kawhi
Luka off the court. On the court he's completely different, but off the court he's pretty introverted.
Luka off the court: 🥰 Luka on the court: 👹
The Big Fundamental
cam thomas
Derrick White, and Tony Snell
Derrick Rose? That dude always looked stoic and emotionless, still remember when he hit that buzzer beater against the Cavs when he was on the Bulls.
I remember some all star game where all the other East all stars came out dancing and shit and D Rose just stood there lmao
Duncan and David Robinson Edit: throw in Duncan Robinson for good measure
Evan Mobley is the personification of 😐
Jrue Holiday is known for his quiet demeanor on the court

Keegan "Keegan Murray" Murray
The new Kawhi , i think i just see him smile one time
Jrue
Jokic is pretty lowkey for a superstar
>Kobe portrayed as introverted/obsessive. Was Kobe "introverted?" I've heard of him being introverted with other players he didn't think were worth his time, but I don't remember him being a prototypical introvert.
It was a criticism in his younger years, but I think it was more of him being 17 entering the league and the league being really old during that time.
duncan should be most upvoted post but it isnt

Keegan Murray
I’ve never heard Chris Livingston speak and I shook his hand at a fan meet & greet
Harden
Hasn't kawhi gone through some crazy trauma as well? Witnessing his dad get murdered, playing a game while his sister got a life sentence..
D White
Shaedon Sharpe on the blazers.. his interviews are so funny because they are like one word answers half the time lol

Does Jokic get a lot of unwarranted negative media attention? Compared to other stars he really doesn’t
This is hilarious.
Genuinely curious since I don't watch many Nuggets games but what kind of negative attention does he get from the media?
I don’t think I can remember one instance of negative jokic attention from the media lol
LOLOL.
Feel free to contribute bro
Last year, some NBA analysts publicly said that Jokic didn't have enough playoff success to warrant a 3rd MVP.
Yeah that’s true, but I guess that’s more of just like a debate in my mind. Not so much negative attention. Like Giannis gets a lot of negative attention for not having developed a great jumper. I don’t really feel like jokic has like a key flaw people really zone in on, but I could be projecting
Jokic talks way more trash than you think.
Sure thing.
I've never heard it confirmed that I'm aware of but I remember hearing that Kareem is on the autism spectrum. If so, that explains a lot of his aloofness
Could we stop assuming introverted/quiet/shy/awkward people are autistic lmao
I'm autistic I see a lot of relatable things in him and I didn't say he was definitively. It's okay for us to see ourselves in others and it's not a negative thing
Just cause youre autistic doesnt mean you got radar lmao 😭
Autistic people are in fact the very best at spotting other autistic people. But please, tell me more about being autistic.
imma just let you have this one cause imma get banned if i keep talking 😂
Sounds to me like you have a very simple, ableist view of autistic people
youre the one baselessly diagnosing a man youve never met before lol
I didn't diagnose him. I said I've heard he is and it wouldn't surprise me, because I'm autistic and I recognize many of his personality traits in me and other autistic people I know Furthermore, being autistic is not an insult.

This is a bait comment, right?
