The star treatment wasnt his issue, it was how they handled his injury. Does it seem like he really gives a f**k about star treatment?

Dude is a great basketball player but he has the entertainment sense of a bored stripper on the dance pole at the 5pm shift

Are all those players that praised the Spurs organization fooling the public? Was he a finished product when he came out of college? No to both those questions. If he wanted to leave just say so, don't play out this drama that the Spurs Medical staff are threatening your career. He's in the perfect position after the Raptors clinch Monday night. Let's see if he dumps Toronto like he dumped San Antonio.

This. They screwed up everything in how they handled his injury because Popovich and old ass Ginobili and Parker wanted to try and force one last title run, even if Kawhi wasn't physically ready to go.
Spurs blew it on the best player in basketball. Dude shows up in Toronto and in his first season has been dad dicking Golden State in every game at Oracle.

Tony Parker reportedly played a significant role in Kawhi Leonard's dissatisfaction with the San Antonio Spurs.
Per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Zach Lowe (h/t Rob Lopez of Def Pen Hoops), Parker's comments about his quad injury being significantly worse than Leonard's was the "last straw" for the two-time All-Star.
In March, Parker told Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News that his quad injury from the previous year was "a hundred times worse" than what Leonard was dealing with.
Parker also praised San Antonio's medical staff, noting he "could have gone anywhere" to receive treatment, but "they know my body better than anybody...I feel like we have the best medical team in the world."

2 of those articles say the same thing. Theres basically like 2 or 3 sentences there of "proof" and its all opinion.
The injury and how the spurs handled it, from the training staff, to the front office, to even his teammates questioning his toughness.
And maybe him not getting treated like one the best game in the game was an issue too, but the way he acts on and off the court really makes me doubt that. The way his injury was handled was the Spurs biggest mistake, everything else would've been fixable issues.

You don't have to look any further than Isaiah Thomas to see why rushing back from an injury is a bad idea. Ultimately neither the teams nor the fans give a crap about you. The Spurs putting pressure on Kawhi to come back was BS. He should have been left alone to rehab however he saw fit, even if meant the entire season.

It was incredibly scummy what he did in SA but hey it worked out for him. A game away from being champ again and a god in Toronto.
