@caseylevane @Matthew_Tynan It’s Dirk and Kobe for me.
I never “liked” Kobe. But shot after shot, night after night, he competed 100% for 48 mins, you have to tip your hat at some point.

@Matthew_Tynan The first 3 names that came to mind were Dirk, KG, and Amare.
Kobe is in the "never was and never will be" category.
English
I’m pretty sure for Spurs fans, this was Dirk?
JayTakes@SportsWithJay0
Who’s an NBA player you used to hate watching that slowly turned you into a fan?
English
@SportsWithJay0 @Matthew_Tynan Couldn’t help but respect the way he played and how bad he wanted it during that finals run.
English
@Matthew_Tynan Definitely have seen a good amount of spurs fans say Dirk lol. Growing to love his game even though he was a rival speaks volumes about that fanbase 🤝

@rage14539 @jasehoops I had the same take but in reality they’re contending right now. Give us a spacing 4 and we’d never lose again.
English
@jasehoops One legit spacing 4 away from truly contending. They've been doing this in dec when wemby was out, now they can go back to it in spot minutes and let the guards run the game, their other gear is when fox hunt mismatches like tonight or a wemby pick and roll.

@NotoriousLAFan @greatsportsvid1 @SportsCenter Defensively, they aren’t even in the same stratosphere
English
@greatsportsvid1 @SportsCenter Luka's average in point but Luka could give you double digit assists and rebounds as well, same with Jokic

@JaredWeissNBA @TheTyJager What about just lowering to 55-60 games? Your take ignores the premise of the rule. Teams have no consequences for resting their stars and awards are largely popularity contests. Do you think a player should be allowed to miss half the season and still win MVP?
English
There is no way the 65-game rule should still be there next year. It is clearly a terrible rule and as I have said all along, it will have a big negative impact on long term legacy when great players have emptier award resumes because they played like 6 less games than someone not as good. Guys dropping out of the MVP and All-NBA race because they are just short of an arbitrary line that their competitors are just above is BS.

Cunningham has 60 qualified games played and is currently short of the All-NBA criteria. The Pistons have 14 games remaining. Cunningham earned All-NBA last season and as a result, saw his rookie max extension increase from $222M to $269M.

@DaleWilliamsOG @EricSal_7 SGA, Ant, maybe Luka and Cade but the defense is more valuable imo.
English
@EricSal_7 Cade, Hali, Maxey, Brunson, Mitchell, SGA, Luka, Murray, Ant, Booker all more valuable rn but I do see your point in terms of Castles winning impact
English
There’s not 4 guards in the NBA I’d take over Steph Castle right now
English
@coochiebeggerf1 @RocksDBuggy1 @SpursCentral Either way you can’t protect kornet or count him as the exposed player. We’d have to expose someone else or extend Kornet first to do either.
English
English
My Protected 8 players:
Victor Wembanyama
Stephon Castle
Dylan Harper
Carter Bryant
De'Aaron Fox
Keldon Johnson
This is where it gets complicated. (Do we want a reliable cheap contract Big like Kornet? Or do we want Spacing and go to options on the perimeter like Devin and Julian?)
Devin Vassell/Julian Champagnie
Luke Kornet
So one or the other of Devin or Julian, yall can decide.
This team is just so deep The Front office will have to make decisions.
English
To keep reiterating...Stephon Castle really is an average 3 ball away from being Dwyane Wade
English
@RocksDBuggy1 @SpursCentral Can’t expose someone on an expiring. We’d have to extend him first.
English
@SpursCentral you protect dev and julian. by the time the draft comes around kornet will be on the last year of his contract
English
@cooperhawkwh @SpursCulture It’s not that serious man. We have your pick so obviously we want you to lose.
English
@HBDefender40 @SpursCulture Yeah, imagine bitching about another team. That’s not even in your conference because y’all gotta stick up your ass for some reason lol
English
@JohnFSilver @theblockspot Nobody is denying we tanked. But who doesn’t? And it was a true rebuild that took only 3 years. We didn’t lose games on purpose we just didn’t have the talent. And we’ve done a lot of other things like draft well, trade well, sign FAs on good deals and promote the right people.

@Tjonesonthenba They had 4 years straight of top 4 picks and traded their last one for KD. They’ve had opportunities.
They chose offense over defense and they’re paying for it.

Houston didn’t have the fortune of moving up in the lottery three out of four years
GreatBeard@GreatBeardHTX
Spurs have passed the Rockets rebuild by a mile. Much easier offense, more aggressive defense. So annoying. Don’t even know what the point of Udoka is at this point.
English
@TheToppOpp @heimer Love this. Perfect example of why Atlanta sucks. Care more about getting to double digits than impacting winning.
English
I still love HB and I’m still glad he’s on the spurs and I think he’ll
have some value in the playoffs but next year im rebranding to something CARTER BRYANT related.
