Jabari Young says Spurs are like the army

[RC_Drunkford]

on the new hoopshype podcast he said that certain vets told him the Spurs were like the army. He also said Kawhi basically didn't like how the organization was ran and that the players embrace the Big 3 not being there anymore.

he starts talkin about the Spurs at 15 min.

[K...]

Uh that's i right I respect the troops

[SAGirl]

Hmmm. Interesting. I recall David Lee specifically remarked how different the environment was compared to GSW the years he played there. I wonder if he’s one of the retired veterans referenced.

[Immortal Spur]

I can did it.

[TDMVPDPOY]

u know its like the army, when the boys go into battle, while one stays at home cucking his team...yet continues to keep him around

[Mr. Body]

Jabari Young isn't trustworthy and can sit on a spike.

Given Jabari's accuracy, when he says the Spurs are run like an army, it's probably more like a Quaker prayer meeting.

[acoelho1]

No substance from Jabari as usual. He sounds bitter that he can’t get any inside info from the Spurs. His questions are asinine most of the time and his purpose lately has been to disparage the Spurs. It’s pretty comical actually.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Jabari fell to lows unknown to pretty much anyone - it makes sense he will talk shit about the Spurs and that he will bring up imaginary former players

you have to take it for what it is

we are used to already

[Amuseddaysleeper]

How is Jabari still employed to cover SA?

[Spurs fever]

It amazes how the relationship between the Spurs and Leonard just went to hell. It seemed like such a perfect fit for both sides. But oh well.

[rastaspur]

Jabari is a clown. Plain and simple. Nothing to see here.......

[TDMVPDPOY]

blame that on patfo for continuing to kowtow to vets and favorite sons, dunno why kawhi wasnt part of that favorite sons crew when he made them relevant...

knowing pop its either his way or the highway, just like that pos enrique, win it my way or not receive the ball...
bet yah t hat clown is enjoying the destruction of the spurs, after all he did had a hand in it by opening his big mouth that was the tipping point for kawhi

cmon now wouldnt u rather throw super or max at kawhi to ballhog, then give lma/mills/forbes/gasol contract to give bullshit performances? do you want to be entertain even with shit roster around kawhi, or not be entertain but still have to put up with the current roster?

[Philthemage]

If that's the case, shouldn't there be some sort of accountability if players are playing bad? Mills has been so atrocious he shouldn't be out there

[BillMc]

The Confederate army coming back from Appomattox?

I wish we had DeMar with Kawhi lol. Pop is probably on his way out so I don't know why he didn't just let someone else take over and move to the front office. I won't get into Mills and Gasol contract thing because as a long time lurker it's already been covered by the majority lol. I just wished that Pop would understand it's a player's league now but I'm hoping he learned something from all this Kawhi drama.

[Spurs fever]

Army? That's pretty accurate.

"Missing In Action" applies to most of our Spurs' players in tonight game.

[Immortal Spur]

He's covering the Spurs with The Athletic now.

[Seventyniner]

Nobody ordered the Code Red yet.

[Barfunk]

Oh boo fucking hoo. Making millions, nuff said.

[tmtcsc]

What a bunch of bullshit. The Spurs have had countless washed up, past their prime vets come to the organization just so they could have a chance to "Ring". Kawhi Leonard was a good player who blossomed during his time with the organization. He benefited from the tight control the Spurs had over the media and the teammates who allowed him to be himself - quiet and reclusive.

This franchise has been to the playoffs all but 4 years of its existence, has won 5 NBA championships and has the best regular season winning percentage in NBA history. For anyone to supposedly try and shit on them by saying the organization was too army-like and regimented is weak. Who the fuck cares what they say? The Spurs have been a model franchise that other organizations would love to be. Respected, successful and stable.

Jabari Young is an ass-clown who needs a safe-space to write his articles. Who the fuck is he to opine on how an organization is run and needs to change? Seriously. How would he know? He's a fucking writer. He's not a businessman; not a person whose ever had to run a multi-million dollar organization. Fucking joke.

[John B]

Only trying to justify Kawhitter, also known as greedy uncle actions and build his image at Spurs image expense. It’s all about the money period. Blah blah blah :blah:blah:blah

[TheGreatYacht]

Better writer than Jeff McCuckald, tbh...

[barakz21]

Being in the army, I can say it kinda is.. Nephew is the dude we soldiers call the shitbag, or blue falcon. “Oh, we got detail? I have an appointment”. More fitting, “yeah sarnt, I can’t do pt, I’m on profile”

[DeRozan m8]

Jabari is a little snakey weasel cunt...KD has more integrity than this clowns dick

[in2deep]

fake news

[UncleDennis]

I just hope that anything and everything that could have been done to sweeten the deal to Kawhi and his shitty people were tried to exhaustion. Your uncle want that sweet, high paid - no show gig?? Done... You want the organization to invest more into your image and marketability?? Done... More minutes? Bring back Simmons?? I mean go totally all out as if your team's success completely relies on sealing the deal.

Is it completely against the Spurs way, completely against Spurs culture? Probably, but half of the concessions with the iron dome surrounding the FO would never make the papers, and at worst you give in for a few years at most and I don't think it sets a precedent for the future since most top 3 players aren't really trying to hard to get to the Spurs anyway so it'd be more of a one and done.

Maybe it was done exactly like that and there was nothing that could be done to save it, but I doubt we'll really ever get some 100% unbiased truth about everything. I just hope it wasn't some stupid pride shit that the Spurs way would be seen as damaged by others so they were scared to really give into their star. I say whatever concessions but I don't mean like something that would bankrupt the organization or something completely insane because I doubt that would be what they'd ask for... The Duncan's and Robinson's are dinosaurs, and a lot of star players are probably shitty off the court and coddled to hell but if they are the difference between championship or bust I mean ffs, look the other way for a few years and do what you can. There is a difference between a John Wall making crazy demands and a Kawhi Leonard. I'll probably be forever frustrated at this situation.

[BatManu20]

Lol don’t buy it for a second. Timmy and Manu Or be loved by their teammates. Nobody hated them, and nobody had a reason to. To suggest that all their teammates are glad they’re gone is just retarded and wreaks of a shit writer trying to grab headlines.

what if Kiwi's people went to PATFO and said i'll sign if Pop retires as coach?

the days of militant, hard-ass ego driven coaches are over and dead tbh. you'll never see another pop or sloan or larry brown ever again in this league. Even Kerr and Stevens just sit there and kiss their players' asses when push comes to shove.

[JPB]

Could people stop polluting ST with this Crapary Young's trash already ?

[coachmac87]

Soooooo Kawhi legit faked or over exaggerated his injury...

That’s all that BS confirms to me....

The Spurs are not the Warriors....they came up in two different eras and by two different ways..

Things started to change when people starting comparing the TWO during the Warriors 73-9 run. Except one team was on its last leg (Duncan, Parker, Manu) yet fairly new with LA and the true emergence of Kawhi..

Again the Spurs have dealt with so much more adversity than any team the last couple years..yet trying to meet the high bar and standard winning the Ship in 14’ and being the most competitive when healthy against the Warriors...

They got screwed by KD, Zaza and The Mute and tbh unless you form a BFF Super Team it won’t be easy to truly compete.

Just be thankful Spurs aren’t laying down like some of y’all want them to...don’t worry tho your time will come and this board along with the trolls will fall apart because the “false expectations” will no longer exist

[ThaBigFundamental21]

Jabari is clearly angry about something. He needs to say whatever it is that is bothering him, make his thoughts known and get back to covering sports. Do we have to endure years of sniping and criticism from this guy? If he wants out of covering San Antonio, apply for a new job and change cities. This guy needs to be a professional, after all being a professional is his job.

[BatManu20]

I actually thought about that a while ago. Players praise pop, but absolutely no one is trying to come here and play for him haha. It seems that players get a level of confidence that we haven't seen when they leave here. Baynes isn't playing great, but he's relaxed on the court and doing things in Boston that would have got him benched for 5 games. They aren't making mistakes and looking at the bench in fear of being taken out.

[tenbeersbold]

LMFAO,It's obvious the Spurs system works...
Best record of any major sports,5X 'ships etc
You name it the Spurs own it

All without paying luxury tax or bending over to total douches of humanity
Or giving service to the NBA hype machine

Kawhai Leonard OTOH,knows nothing of it,he only rode Timmy to a ring as an undeserving FMVP
When he had the chance to be a GOAT,he folded like a Kmart deck chair.

Spurs are the only NBA team I follow,after Pop goes I'm done
As long as the Spurs don't become a 3 pt grubbing foul line seeking shit show like the rest of the NBA I'm OK with it

Probably chose not paying the luxury tax over keeping Leonard. I wonder how that's working out. Oh, and while Young may not be liked or trusted. He didn't mention anything that hasn't already been mentioned before.
