***OFFICIAL KAWHI RELATED NEWS Thread***

[daslicer]

You have to admire Dennis..a street nigga who translated his game into the business world and quickly became one of the most powerful men in the NBA..

He took a mute with no charisma or appeal and turned him into the most discussed player in the NBA:lol not to mention this path to superstardom included beating LeBron at his own game and destroying the most successful franchise in recent NBA history..

Looking back, a man who came up like Dennis did battling against a sheltered, classy franchise like the current Spurs was such an unfair fight..

Still, ignoring the emotion of being a Spurs fan, how can you not respect a man like Dennis making something of himself? Same with Rich Paul, these are now 2 of the most powerful men in the sport and they did it out of nothing..

Safe to say if they were white you wouldn't feel the same way about them. You would be screaming white supremacy.

[FkLA]

Spurs thought they made mistakes in retrospect but the Raptors did everything the Spurs wished they had done and he still left for Los Angeles.

Aren't you able to disclose things fully now since the Spurs were vindicated? You mentioned some things might've painted the Spurs in a bad light, but after everything that transpired no reasonable person is going to blame the Spurs.

Remember when Raptors fans used to say that the Spurs fucked up and it wasn't because Kawhi wanted to go to LA no matter what? Aaah, good times, tbh. :lol

Poop fucked up by trading him for DeFrozen/Poodle instead of the Davis haul:reading

Can’t wait till the 2 players(Kawhi/LeBron) with the most pull in the league are gone.

:hat

[Kawhitstorm]

He put his nephew in a position where he's now recognized as the best player in the NBA after winning a championship, created a title favorite that should win for at least the next 2 years and did it in LA, where Kawhi's brand will continue to blow up.. he's in a comfortable position to be the best player in the NBA and take over the league for the foreseeable as LeBron ages..

They got Paul George to immediately demand a trade after Kawhi called him:lol the same man who just signed a long-term deal with OKC rather than joining the Lakers last Summer..

:lobt:

[Kawhitstorm]

KD’s Achilles says “hi”

The same KD that got a MAX contract?:wakeup

[Kawhitstorm]

:lmao Kawhi would’ve beaten the injured Dubs with Spurs and won the championship, and saved 104mil, and still get NB (old people) brand, had he stayed with Spurs. Now that would’ve been genius :lol:lol

You mean the same thing he did while playing in a better city & being treated as a king?:lol

Chris Paul would have ran circles around TOSB Pau in '18 anyway just like he did every time they face each other & Poop let the "Harden Stopper" (Simmons) walk.:dramaquee

[Kawhitstorm]

yeah he really made something out of himself taking a 10 million dollar loan to start a player management agency that now nobody wants to sign for cause nephew lost 80 million and a Jordan deal besides also not playing in a season where he could've won MVP. Great moves.

Harden would have won in '18 even if Kawhi played (he still would have been "load managed") b/c the Rockets were by far the best regular season team & he had the numbers to back it up. As far as Dennis, he just setup shop & delivered this summer what he set out to do....business is going to pickup now. Besides, Kawhi wouldn't have signed with NB if they weren't paying him more than cheap ass Jordan.

[Kawhitstorm]

Both are just riding coattails. Uncle would still be a bank teller without his Nephew. Rich Paul would be just another black man living in Cleveland without LeBron.

Things that make white people MAD for $500, Alex.

[DAF86]

Poop fucked up by trading him for DeFrozen/Poodle instead of the Davis haul:reading

Sure, but I fail to see how that relates to what I posted, you dumb bitch. :lol

I fail to see how the Spurs incompetency that led to a trade demand relates to the Raptors championship rental/contract dump but then you're a bitter ass bitch like Missy.:lol

Had Kawhi refused to play for the Raptors & demanded a trade to the Lakers then you would have a point but he chose to sign with the Clippers as a FREE AGENT after playing out his contract since he was ACTUALLY healthy enough to play at a high-level. He simply told the Spurs he wanted to play in his hometown AFTER the bridge burned but PATFO fucked themselves over b/c of a grudge against the Lakers. But then muphuckas out here claiming he was never hurt when he's out there limping even with load management & proper treatment this past season.....it isn't as if he didn't look like shit in those 9 games he played in '17-'18.

Had Durant been on the Sperms & didn't return to rapture his achillies before bailing for BK then folks on ST would have been saying he quit on the team when he was sitting out games b/c of a "calf strain".:sleep

Yup. Same KD who would’ve won his 3rd straight FMVP and championship

That's from his Jordan collection (with Gatorade included or something) from last year, man.

Unless one of Big Pharma comes up with some sort of autism meds, his endorsement oppos look bleak. New Balance? Are you fucking kidding me? What's next? An endorsement deal with Daewoo?

How is the new balance deal inferior to the Jordan deal? His contract is the same as he would have gotten with Jordan, except he has the opportunity to get signature shoes, whereas Jordan wouldn't have offered him sig shoes... Kawhi's new balance shoes sold out immediately after release... He clearly has a better deal with new balance...

If he "simply told the Spurs" then how did everyone, including people on this board, find out about it? No. He(or his group, you decide) made it known publicly that he wanted to play in Los Angeles, sabotaging his trade value for the Spurs. The fact that he left the Raptors for Los Angeles after winning a championship confirms it. That's the problem I, and many others, legitimately have with nephew(his group). He(and/or they) burned the Spurs on the way out by making their "preference" public and painting the Spurs into a corner.

[TheSpurglar]

Good lord ur slow

Seems like you are, actually. I responded, specifically, to the statement that Kawhi "simply told the Spurs" he wanted to be traded. I don't think that's true. I think he(his group) requested a trade, let them know he'd only agree long-term to a trade to Los Angeles and then released that to the media, leaving the Spurs with limited options. Not saying the Spurs made all the right choices or are blameless, but Kawhi(his group) isn't either.

If you think AD also sabotaged his trade value with the Pelicans we can talk about that, I guess. Not what was being discussed though.

Just one more data point about how great an agent / rep Dennis the Menace is. Not only did he cost dear nephew $120 million in salary by forcing the SA trade and then walking from Toronto, he just cost him untold millions of endorsement revenue from Nike.

Got to give credit to Skip for finding a way to call Kawhi a piece of shit constantly on TV.

[phxspurfan]

They're replaying 6 on NBA TV right now. Crazy watching this, especially the 3rd quarter, knowing the beast Kawhi turned into. He was holding LeBron to like 3/11 shooting up until the 4th quarter, in Miami, against the Heatles, in an elimination game to win a ring. Then, when he would switch onto Wade, he would shut him down too. Both guys in their primes, Kawhi a few years from his.

Seriously, one sub from Pop of Duncan away from what I'd probably say turns into the first Spurs repeat championship of the era.

For people say the Spurs don't ring in '14 if they did in '13, that's bullshit. This Spurs team was an all time great ensemble of players.

It makes me feel bad just reading this. All those emotions come running back real quick. I still can't watch that shit. Should have won, could have definitely got the repeat. Like I said after the series in 2013, the Spurs were the better team, and when most people here were down after the 2013 finals, I was just as angry as I was down - I said we gotta get back there and play Miami again in 2014 and this time leave no doubt who the better team was, and fortunately the Spurs did right that wrong in the fashion that I thought we could (dominate them the second time around). The point I am trying to make, though, is, the Spurs were the better team both years, so I really do think they could have repeated.

We were definitely the better team. It's all about matchups, and we had better guys at every position besides SF/SG, and those were real close.

Splitter ~= Bosh (Bosh was on the decline)
TD >> old Battier/whoever else
LeBron > Kawhi, but not by a huge margin on critical posessions
Wade > Green but not by a huge margin since Green was shooting the lights out
Parker >> Chalmers

Manu/Diaw/Mills/Neal >> Mike Miller, Ray Allen, Birdman


I will say this was peak PED LeBron though. It was super obvious he was on PEDs. All of his moves were just bowling over guys. It's like watching Jose Canseco play for the A's...

Coming back the next year was far from a given and really just a testimony to that team's determination. 2014 was unbelievable and not a given.

Unlucky bounce my ass. When you're up 3 you either foul to give only 2 freethrows (which I wouldn't do but it's an acceptable strategy) or leave your GOAT PF in to secure the defensive rebound from the inevitable LeBrick.

Tim played OT and game 7 and we lost. LeBron was defended well and bricked it badly. '13 was not in the bag and '14 was the best redemption story I've seen. Yes we had our chances in '13. The worse part was the refs calling timeout after the shot when DG was down court.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Interesting. I doubt the NBA would do anything if they found out he got stuff outside of the CBA, would they?


There's another thread on this. But if they found out that he actually got stuff outside of the CBA? They wouldn't have any choice but do something about it. They couldn't risk getting caught in a cover-up, if the other teams found out about it... and they would.

It's one thing for Uncle Dennis to ask for stuff - serious, but asking isn't the same as getting. A team could always say that Dennis asked, but they didn't bite. But giving anything of value under the table is about as serious as it gets. If they started letting that happen, shit would break down in a hurry. If there's plausible deniability, they might try to sweep it under the rug. But if there's hard evidence, I think you could expect something really harsh to come as a consequence.


Knowing Silver, though, he'd take the draft picks they already promised to OKC. :lol

[TD 21]

It's funny how the media loves this puke now and thinks he's the greatest thing since sliced bread, when they barely knew who he was when he was a Spur.

They had an indirect role in what he did because of their refusal to give the players in this organization their proper due and they'll have a role in future groupthink divas who pull something similar because they've all seen them shamelessly side with him and what it's done for his "brand" and profile.

If the Spurs want to have any chance of retaining any homegrown, American superstar or star in the future, this is something they must address. Whether directly or indirectly, they need to call the media on this and start promoting their own or watch as the next one pulls something similar.

a lot of it boils down to pop never jiving with black american culture. for whatever reason he cannot handle black American players—see: Stephen Jackson, Dwayne Dedmon, Jonathan Simmons, kawhi Leonard. “Humble” is almost a dogwhistle for acceptable vanilla play, like when people used to hate on dribbling between the legs.

Pop needs to subjagate his ego for the good of the franchise (he should also want his players to get their just due) or watch as they become the next Jazz, who even 8 years after Sloan's departure, still don't seek nor attract a certain type that just so happens to be the most prevalent in the league. They've already got a massive strike against them not being in a glamour market, they can't afford to exacerbate it with something they can somewhat control.

The Spurs or Raptors couldn’t do ANYTHING. Not even winning a championship and pulling a LeBron staying in the weaker conference for multiple cake walks to the finals.

He said he's never played with an elite player around the same age (aka in their prime). TD was no longer an elite player when Kawhi was on the team.

i don't blame kawhi for what he said at all... PG is in prime... td and manu obviously weren't when kawhi was a spur. way to blow things outta proportion ST.

During Load Management’s career, Tim was a two time AS, two time All NBA, and two time All D. Tony was a 3 time AS, and 3 time All NBA. PG, for his whole career, was 6, 5, and 4. Kawhi is a marvelous bball player, but a shitty human being, and terrible judge of talent. How can you pick a career loser like PG as your sidekick? Siakam is a far better option, and he fucking walked away!

[gambit1990]

okc got PG for oladipo and sabonis... spurs probably could've gotten PG for la if pop wasn't so "this is a family" / didn't wanna hurt aldridge's feelings :rolleyes

OKC only traded Oladipo (when people thought he was a bust) Sabonis. I would have traded LMA for PG in an instant but that was after LMA completely no-showed in the playoffs so no one wanted him.

[gambit1990]

During Load Management’s career, Tim was a two time AS, two time All NBA, and two time All D. Tony was a 3 time AS, and 3 time All NBA.
even then, would take PG over tony without blinking. and most, if not all GMs would take PG over old td. that’s not a knock on td either.

[therealtruth]

It's clear now. The Spurs didn't do enough to get elite talent. Even with winning the Aldridge sweepstakes. If the Pacers were happy with Oladipo/Sabonis the Spurs should have been able to come up with something.

The lesson for PATFO is clear. It's a player's league now and that dictator mentality is not going to win. The players are going to go to teams with management that shows they will do whatever it takes to win.

PG is a loser who’s never done anything but demand trades. I’d take any of the big three over him, and wouldn’t even think if were all three. Kawhi ‘bout to learn that long and strong don’t make you anything but just that. He’s tied himself to a major beta.

[J_Paco]

The big 3 was wayyy past their prime when #2 arrived. If anything this is a diss towards Aldridge regarding playing with an elite talent.

Pretty sure Tony was still in his prime from 2011 - 2013. He really started to slide during the 2013 - '14 title run. So, he has played with "elite" talent before (Duncan was an elite defender until his penultimate season).

[KDKSpurs24]

And the thing about Kawhi not being happy with San Antonio unable to attract top level talent came out even before all of that quad injury drama so I’m very sure that not being able to land Paul George was a huge letdown for him and something that started everything that followed.

I mean, I'm pretty sure I recall hearing/reading that Paul George did mention he would have been fine playing for the Spurs, so yeah, the talk back then about him going to the Lakers only next off-season shouldn't have deterred the Spurs trying to trade for him (if they did indeed try to as I recall reading here). I just wonder how hard the Spurs actually tried to get Paul George?

Probably not at hard as they tried when they gave Mills 50 mill at 12:01 that summer.

And probably not as hard as they worked when they were asking Pau to sign for that 48 mill not long after.

2012-2015 Timmy was still elite. Maybe not ultimate elite like he was in his prime but far away still elite. I still remember Timmy being far and away the best player in that 2015 Clippers series. In 2016 when he injured his other knee, then yeah that’s when things fell apart for Timmy.

But it’s not just on the spurs. I mean siakam is becoming a star of his own in Toronto and there were plenty of games where they don’t win last year without his great production. Sorry siakam. The King of Toronto has spoken, your talent is not elite.

its crazy to think how elite Paul George is. He took that pacers team to multiple finals appearances...oh wait. To multiple ECF appearances...oh wait. But he did help the thunder to make the Finals...oh wait. But I mean it’s not on Paul George cause he had not talent around him...right? But he definitely has elite talent no doubt.

Paul George, best player Kawhi will have ever played with? Lol sure man whatever you say to make Paul George feel good.

[bklynspursfan]

And the thing about Kawhi not being happy with San Antonio unable to attract top level talent came out even before all of that quad injury drama so I’m very sure that not being able to land Paul George was a huge letdown for him and something that started everything that followed.

He also said he wanted to play at home and that's all he wanted. So hypothetically, do he and PG both force their way to LA from SA?

[davi78239]

I’m thinking spurs did try to trade for George but they would have wanted one or both of Tony or Manu in the deal and no way the spurs were parting with one of them in deal. LOYALTY. Big motto for spurs. Honesty, I would have taken George for a deal including Parker in a heartbeat

[FkLA]

lol at all you blaming the Spurs for not getting PG

The Spurs has a legitimate shot at taking down GS the year Nephew got Zaza'd. Why fuck that up? Running it back was the right move. Not their fault Neph turned out to be the biggest POS in the league.

Not even close. Indiana wouldn't want an aging Parker and Manu in a trade. They want young assets to start a rebuild. We didn't have that because we were winning and dominating the NBA and not getting a bunch of lottery picks or cashing in our star players for a bunch of lottery picks when they would have commanded that value. Spurs could not match the Thunder offer, plain and simple. We are just barely starting to stockpile young players, and none of them are even lottery picks. For sure back then we did not have a bunch of attractive assets to package in a trade.

[Dr. John R. Brinkley]

So much spin getting put out there, likely by Fun Guy’s team and the Clippers, on how close he was to signing with the Raptors, or that if Magic hadn’t opened his mouth he was really considering playing with the Lakers. Trying to make him look to be a good guy. Ridiculous, in my opinion.

[Genovaswitness]

b-but patty and pau aren’t elite?!

[Jsn]

Only an idiot would think Paul George is a more elite talent than Tim Duncan even from 2012-2015. Who would honestly pick PG over TD to win a playoff series?

[Legacy]

:lol Kiwi still throwing jabs at Pop & Company
:cry No "front office pedigree" :cry

[beirmeistr]

Have you noticed that that conniving no. 2 speaks more to the media now than when he was in San Antonio? Almost as if he was making sure that he hid his true intentions to get out of San Antonio.

[John B]

He said prime at his age. I think Kiwi didn’t want to be in the big 3 shadow. I don’t know if that’s coming from him or Uncle Dennis because of the lucrative deals nor star treatment he couldn’t get.

[bic50]

Td wasn’t in his prime anymore.

[bic50]

Did he say he tried to get pg to the spurs?

[Collins21]

Summer 2017

Who would have been offered in a trade package for George that Indy would have taken if they took Victor Oladip and Domantas Sabonis?

LMA? Parker? Kyle Anderson?
He just witnessed pop's team meltdown after he went down in the WCF.

This Whole LMA is trash stuff is ridiculous dude has lead teams to the playoffs every year of his career except for two years. Meanwhile a top 5 talent like Davis can't drag teams to the playoffs.

Did they even make an offer?


So, he called in sick for an entire year.

Summer 2017 they gave Patty 4yr/$50 mil and Pau 3yr/$38 mil


LMA is trash.

[ZeusWillJudge]

So, he called in sick for an entire year.

LMA is trash.


LOL. Beavis, you dumbass. Toronto had a whole team that was perfectly constructed to complement him, and they won the LOB. And he left them, too.

At least you admit that he faked injury for a year, because he didn't get everything exactly the way he wanted it. That's a good first step.

[exstatic]

Td wasn’t in his prime anymore.

And yet, he was still more of an NBA force than that pussy PG13, AKA, "I want a trade, and now I want another one".

[John B]

This. Everything with Kiwi are lies as he goes along. Bottomline, he wanted to play in Los Angeles. Lakers was his 1st choice but LeBron got there first. Kiwi is a puppet and says what his Uncle wants him to say. It’s pathetic.

[Jsn]

Thank you for making my point.

[TDomination]

Shows how great he truly was in his prime.

[Jsn]

I try not to be salty about kawhi leaving the spurs, it’s in the past. But his comments are straight disrespect toward Tim. We all know TD is modest, but do you honestly think TD didn’t think he was elite in our last championship runs? Hell yeah he did, and he was.

[tonight...you]

Probably didn't help that Pop kept calling him The Big One.

[Dejounte]

Spurs are going to clown this dude next year. I'm not scared of the Clippers.

[Keepin' it real]

for whatever reason he cannot handle black American players—see: Stephen Jackson, Dwayne Dedmon, Jonathan Simmons, kawhi Leonard.

Or maybe you have it backward and it's today's black American players who can't handle playing for a successful, authoritative, older white man???

[Keepin' it real]

Who knew Number 2 was anywhere near that active/vocal with the Spurs? Or was he?

Well, he lied about fake injury, so he could easily be lying about this.


It's clear now. The Spurs didn't do enough to get elite talent. Even with winning the Aldridge sweepstakes. If the Pacers were happy with Oladipo/Sabonis the Spurs should have been able to come up with something.

The lesson for PATFO is clear. It's a player's league now and that dictator mentality is not going to win. The players are going to go to teams with management that shows they will do whatever it takes to win.

Until the next CBA. It's going to be a bloodbath. Owners going to regain control, especially as Lebum's star fades.

[MultiTroll]

Or maybe you have it backward and it's today's black American players who can't handle playing for a successful, authoritative, older white man???
He just rang with the Raptors in his 1st year there with a rookie coach.

[Legacy]

To be fair, #2 did say an elite player of his same age.

[Harry Callahan]

I assume the LA media whores did not ask Nephew or Tom Rivers or half dead Jerry West or mental case Balmer if precious little #2 is going to play B2Bs for the first time in three years? POS #2.

[Collins21]

LOL. Beavis, you dumbass. Toronto had a whole team that was perfectly constructed to complement him, and they won the LOB. And he left them, too.

At least you admit that he faked injury for a year, because he didn't get everything exactly the way he wanted it. That's a good first step.

Hell I would take 15-16 LMA over Paul George. People call DeRozan and Aldridge losers but these dudes have won as much or the same as George.

[azzkicker007]

The big 3 was wayyy past their prime when #2 arrived. If anything this is a diss towards Aldridge regarding playing with an elite talent.

Look up the stats on basketballreference...they were in their prime in 2012 or 2013 when nephew came on board. Not to mention they went to the WCF, Finals, Finals, WCF in 4 of his seasons with the spurs. #2 is retarded for making this comment.

[exstatic]

Pop is this mean old white dude. Nurse basically let him do whatever he wanted. Neither approach worked, so you can't fault one over the other. The Group gonna Group.

I think what he said is being taken wrong way. Kawhi wasn’t the player then that as he is now in his prime. If anything it can be seen as a knock on Aldridge, or siakim

[rasuo214]

PG is a loser who’s never done anything but demand trades. I’d take any of the big three over him, and wouldn’t even think if were all three. Kawhi ‘bout to learn that long and strong don’t make you anything but just that. He’s tied himself to a major beta.

Didn't stop PATFO from going after guys like LMA or Derozan. I'd easily take PG over either of those 2.

[bic50]

Hell I would take 15-16 LMA over Paul George. People call DeRozan and Aldridge losers but these dudes have won as much or the same as George.
All 3 aren’t much different. Pg better defender though

[Genovaswitness]

Or maybe you have it backward and it's today's black American players who can't handle playing for a successful, authoritative, older white man???

and yet it’s the black American players that are winning teams championships..

[TDomination]

Pretty much this.
Acting as if PG is all of a sudden a top 3 talent just cause Kawhi wanted to play with him. He's good no doubt, but building your team around PG won't get you far. Building your team around Kawhi and having PG as a co-star or whatever, thats a smarter move.

LMA was likely to be at least a finalist if Kawhi doesnt go down 2017. So yeah, this whole "Elite player" phrasing is just him trying to coddle PG since he's sitting right next to him when he says it.

[bic50]

I assume the LA media whores did not ask Nephew or Tom Rivers or half dead Jerry West or mental case Balmer if precious little #2 is going to play B2Bs for the first time in three years? POS #2.
I think they did. Apparently Kawhi said he doesn’t see that happening again next season.

[Harry Callahan]

PG is nothing more than sloppy seconds for #2 and his group. There were other options held in higher regard TBH.

[bic50]

Spurs are going to clown this dude next year. I'm not scared of the Clippers.
Don’t see that happening. But we’ll see.

[John B]

I think we overanalyze Kiwi. He wanted to play in Los Angeles. Bottomline. All these talks are just lies spewing from Uncle Dennis to rationalize his decision.

[bic50]

PG is nothing more than sloppy seconds for #2 and his group. There were other options held in higher regard TBH.
Kd for sure. Maybe because pg still had 3 years left in his contract they didn’t pursue him at first.

“You know, once I got together with my team and we put the pros and cons down, it was never about winning a championship,” Leonard said to Yahoo Sports. “It was about what the future has to hold. And for me, myself and my family, that's what type of decision I had to make. It’s no discredit to Toronto, I just wanted to play at home. I wanted to do that before I got traded there, and obviously when I got there, it was a goal of mine to make history and get them a championship, and I feel like I did my job there pretty much and that I should be granted to go play where I wanted to after I gave them what they needed. I just wanted to play at home. Like Paul said, our families are able to come to games. But just from my own thinking, it’s like we're in the NBA and I played eight years already. Eight years can fly by so fast, and we’re not able to do anything with [our families] eight or nine months of the season.

“So once the summer comes, you got three months to either go see family, train and do your other business obligations. There’s really no time to see them, to see your family. I love my family. Over the last five or six years, I’ll go back home and see my family, my nieces and nephews, and they’re talking, playing, shooting basketballs, and I’m like, ‘Dang, I missed all this. Y’all talking already. What? You’re doing this?’ So it’s like, ‘Man, where the hell have I been?’ It feels like you been in a matrix or something.

“For me, it was a family situation more so than a basketball decision. Basketball is going to be here long without me, so I feel like when we’re here, we just have to make sure we share it with our loved ones, and that’s one of the big reasons why I came to the Clippers.”

Then don’t fake injury and all that lies. And Kiwi could’ve helped Spurs get a better trade return from Clippers had he been honest about it.

[John B]

I mean he owed it to Spurs to get a better return, somewhat what PG got for OKC. Instead this fucked up chose to torpedoed Spurs chances by spewing all lies instead of being truthful.

[exstatic]

If he missed his fucking family so much, why did he spend so much damn time in NY faking rehab from a non-injury?

[rjv]

when did paul george suddenly become "elite"?

[gambit1990]

spurs shouldn’t have traded kawhi as quickly as they did. thought that day 1. they should’ve told him, “play some games this upcoming season and we promise to move you to la.” and then proceed to move him anywhere. but pop is too good to tit for tat :rolleyes

[exstatic]

No. Dennis let it be known that there would be more rehab and injury bullshit to come.

[John B]

In retrospect, Kiwi could’ve just been truthful about just wanting playing in front of his family, and worked with PATFO to get a better trade with Clippers. It’s so fucked up how he went about it

[spurraider21]

parker was definitely elite in kawhi's earlier years. tim and manu, not so much. tim was still an all-nba guy, mostly for his defense, but he wasn't a "take the game over" kind of guy for extended periods of time

[Leetonidas]

George is so elite he and Russ couldn't even get out of the first fucking round :lmao
