After the Leonard fiasco, Spurs prioritizing leadership/intellectual types in draft.

[spursistan]

No more mutes please :tu

With Murray/Walker hopefully they can fill the void left by of TD/Manu/TP..

Walker went to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago the day before he worked out for the Bulls. He is constantly feeding his thirst to learn about “almost every aspect of life” and often watches Animal Planet and the Discovery Channel.

“Just looking at Third World countries, religions, cultures, and seeing the outside world,” Walker said. “Being able to grow and see different perspectives in life is what interests me. Continue to gain knowledge. So, growing up, this is what I love to do. Outside of basketball, I love to gain knowledge and become smarter and watch things that not too many people really watch.”

He still is, just got to hit uncle with a two by four. Seeing drob tonight makes me think there's a plan to limit his options at moving west while impressing them on the family culture. They over shot their chance and the ball is all in the spurs court from here

Green gets the most affected by LA's play if Kawhi is back, I expect him to have a bounce-back season. But, I wasn't claiming that Danny is our starting two currently, but that we need to replace his production as a 3 and D player.

Glad to see Spurs have learned to stay away from autistic players. Autistics can’t form personal bonds or show loyalty and that’s come back to bite the Spurs.

[james evans]

no, they'll just draft more players that they can control with "team talk" while convincing them to take pay cuts for a billionaire.

It's a lot easier to find athleticism in a deep draft with almost lottery picks

Walker seems like a good bet.

But I keep flashing back to that no-talent shooter the Spurs drafted from Miami a few years ago -- McClinton I think. He sucked and he was also a pill.

It's not racism. Few athletes of any color are notably thoughtful or intellectual. Regarding speech, yeah, a lot of black athletes don't speak well. A lot of white hillbillies don't speak well either.

It's definitely racist. People don't speak about white athletes or white people in that manner. It's usually implicit racism, but that still counts.

It's not racism to acknowledge the realities that apply to the races.

White athletes are by and large more eloquent. There are many socioeconomic and cultural reasons for that. A white person tends to come from a better educational background, and there's a large part of black culture that doesn't give a damn about speaking proper english. And that's ok.

[SpursDynasty85]

Will tell you the talent for NBA players in this year's draft looked amazing. Those highlights yesterday were impressive from 1 thru 18 (from what I saw) and all the interviews showed favorably for all players too. Was very impressed.

I’ve stayed many times, I have 3 degrees and “speaking Proper English “ is not gonna make a white person respect u. White folks hated Malcolm X. Kareem was a scholar and one of the smartest players the NBA has seen and white folks to this day still hate him. Any black man trying to please a white person aint shit. That’s what I respect about LeBron James. He does what he wants to do and doesn’t care what they think

I'll say that my first impression of anyone is affected by how they speak or write, but it's certainly not determining whether I respect them or not.

I've never heard whitey say they hate Kareem. Probably bc I don't associate with bigots.

I’ve never heard jfk call anyone a ****** but I know enough of his past thru actions that I know he was a bigot well(please bring up that bullshit ass civil rights bill). Kareem was one of the most hated black atletes in amerikkka. He stood with Ali during his case, boycotted 68 olympics and aligned himself with some radical muslins that wanted to kill Ali and expose how fake the NOI was.
