    It's hard to remember who Deron Williams actually is — he has basically been M.I.A. for two seasons due to injury and/or strategic tanking. Apparently he played well enough to have his number retired by the Turkish team Besiktas after a few games in Europe during the lockout. It will always be difficult for me to understand his decision to give up on the Utah Jazz, where he forced a trade in early 2011. Without another Westbrook-to-his-Durant young gun to earn his lumps with, it may have seemed impossible to achieve anything — especially knowing there was no way in one of his Olympic colleagues would want to sign in Utah to form a superteam of their own. It's easy to forget that in 2007, Williams led the Jazz to the Western Conference finals, where they lost to the eventual NBA champion San Antonio Spurs. I hardly remember that, probably because it must have been a crappy NBA season if the Spurs won the championship.

    No. He probably isn't a Spurs fan

    He needs to be ignored.

    The guy was getting skewered in Facebook comments on the article. Maybe the most negative reaction to a Grantland piece I've seen. And not just about the Spurs comment, although that was pointed out several times.

    Two other articles from the same guy:


    He flashes hot and cold between being a Spurs fan and not.

    His comment might have been extreme sarcasm. Or maybe not. But who cares. It was a really forced article and bad in ways that have nothing to do with a slight towards San Antonio.
