The writer says: "After clearing part of their roster to accommodate LaMarcus Aldridge, the Spurs have room for Fredette. He'll make the team. The question is whether he can become a rotation player"

Pump your penis there big dog, that's far from a given...

Lol, Kerr made a career out of riding the coattails of Hall of Famers. He was one of the luckiest dudes to ever play the game and he'd tell you that himself. 3 titles with Jordan and 2 with Duncan. If Bulls don't pick up Kerr, his career is done in 4 years. Thank goodness for the Spurs he had a couple of "moments" left in him when he came back to the Spurs in 2003.

IMO, Jimmer's career ends in San Antonio w/o playing a single, regular season game.

Well the Spurs rode Kerr's coatails in 2003 when he hit clutch shot after clutch shot to spark a comeback win versus Dallas and then did it again versus Nets. And he hit big shots for the Bulls too, including a game winner in the finals. Sure Kerr was a complementary player, but his shooting was key in a number of NBA Finals, as was his leadership. And his defense was actually underrated. Not that he was a good defender, but he wasn't as bad as some thought. And he's better than Fredette.

That said, Fredette should get some Mark Price videos and learn how to play like him.

Kerr was fantastic against Dallas in Game 6 of 2003 but many people forget that SJax was just as key and started the rally. He made 3 - 3 pointers himself, including 2 in a row. Lol, Spurs outscored them 34-9 in the 4th.

It was:

Sjax - 3ptr
Kerr - 3ptr
Sjax - 3ptr

Jackson was a stud in that series, but most fans give him credit for his shooting.

Did you just compare the Spurs to the patriots? That is outrageous. And Tim tebow is a phenomenal player...problem is should be playing tight end not qb.

Kerr came in cold off the bench and just stepped in and hit those shots. SJax was part of the rotation and already had that expectation of being in there to make those kinds of plays...albeit he still had to knock them down, which he did incredibly well. Kerr may as well of been in a suit in the stands when he was called in to deliver. Pop had barely called his number prior to that. I think that's what made his performance so impressive.

That was all about Pop being his most stubborn self. I remember being incredibly pissed that Pop wouldn't put Kerr in through 3 quarters. The game was in reach but the Spurs weren't hitting jack from outside. Then the levee broke and it Dallas was toast.

I think the Spurs would be happy with Brent Price stats out of their 15th man. Why does he need to aim for white guys? Why not tell him to watch Iverson? He is the pride of Salt Lake Twmple after all. If his God exist, he should be able to request an Iverson sized solid.

Because he doesn't have Iverson's speed or wingspan. He has to find a player with similar physical abilities. Mark Price has a similar body type, but maybe a little faster and a better dribbler.

They have a good shot to make him useful. Anyone thinking more than a rotation player, is a bit jaded. He could be an interesting option.

I don't think he will make the team. Good to talk about during the summer.

The Spurs are humble, hard working , make a basket and run back without the chest thumping. The Patriots ooze arrogance and evil; from the owner, coach to qb.

I like Kerr but no need to re-write history. Kerr hit a total of 3 shots in the finals. He had a total of 5 threes made throughout the playoffs come on...

In the speech about the shot against Utah he seems to think otherwise (irony).

I dont think it has anything to do with luck. He still needs to put in the time and shots in practice. He has stressed a number of times that everybody will or can have their moment. Kerr has just had a few.

We might be talking about 2 different things when it comes to luck. Kerr was a great shooter and a consummate professional. So when he got his opportunities, he made the best of them and came up big in big situations. No one can take that away from him.

What I'm saying is that he had a 14 year career, got 5 Championship rings - all while averaging 6 pts and a little over one assist and rebound per game. I think the luck comes in when you get to play with 2 of the greatest players of all time. There have been more talented players, with longer careers, that never won anything.

It's a pretty shitty article, but the comment section is pure gold!

Agreed.

Dysfunctional team is dysfunctional tbqh. No one is saying the kid is an all-star at this level, but it's reasonable to assume he will play better in a more defined and limited role with a more stable team.

Jimmer can shoot. Jimmer can run around screens. I don't see why Jimmer couldn't become a "special teams" 15th man for situations where we need another shooter on the court. We shall see.
