But where's the proof lmao
Most recently, Popovich commented about Tim Duncan and the 1999-2007 years. According to Pop, he caused Timmy to lose some awards s cause he "coached". Insinuating that Pop used to do what he does now during Duncan years.
Which is completely false.
Tim Duncan 03 in particular Just dominated based on individual play and 40mpg.
Which has strongly left me disgusted and now come up with the conclusion that everything he does now is to benwfit his own Legacy.
Its weird how he likes to bench players on National Media day and I realized..He is the one guy that stands to benefit the most out if...Win, and people think its all about him. Lose and he didnt care.
Its very calculated.
I am officially against this terrible human being that uses Black people to advance his stupid political cause.
But where's the proof lmao
You're pretty fearless about posting your mental diarrhea.
Don't know that I agree, however I do believe Pops ego is beginning to be more evident. I've seen enough from him that is not always in keeping with humility and sacrifice.
Duncan's long term leg problems were a direct result of not resting injuries long enough. No doubt about it. None.
It's known as "over-use injury". Look up the difference between tendonitis and tendonosis. When your tendons get injured (tendonitis) and you don't rest them, the body replaces collagen with something like scar tissue. It isn't stretchy like normal tendon tissue. And that's tendonosis - a chronic condition.
I'm sure Tim insisted on coming back too soon. But I'd be willing to bet that Pop became over-cautious after figuring out that a lot of Tim's chronic leg problems could have been prevented. Makes a lot more sense than the other conspiracy-theory talk. I think the guy has an ego bigger than Texas. But I think he realized that not letting stress injuries heal fully is a good way to lose a guy for the playoffs.
BTW - Manu had some similar over-use injury problems, but his were bone related. People call it "stress fracture". But it's an over-use injury, and it will heal properly if given time. His summer ball almost certainly contributed to chronic problems in his distal fibula (the leg bone down near where it meets the ankle).
I agree that Pop needs to stop babying his Max players, but let's be real... Kawhi is pretty ing injury prone tbhhe even has a known history of Knee Tendonitis
Do you want a coach who kills your individual stats or a coach that kills your career like Thibs?
Here's a couple of Thibs players:
Zach Lavine - 37.2MPG..... torn ACL
Prime Derrick Rose - 4 seasons of 36.2MPG..... torn ACL
Luol Deng - 2010 thru 2014 38.1MPG..... almost died
Joakim Noah's all star seasons - 35.9MPG..... washed as
No one is complaining about Kawhis current DNP. It could be legit who knows, but his resting players on national TV is well do ented. Also the Duncan part really pisseed me off..
im all for today's nba but
today's nba
players can't play extended minutes without their knees exploding
today's diets
Oscar Robertson averaged 42.2MPG for his career.....
..... while wearing chucks
today's nutritionists
today's "advanced" shoe technology
today's trainers
jordan's
eastern bloc training
unless todays athletes are just so much more athletic their injuries are more explosive and severe
today's nba
will kawhi ever stay healthy for a full season
That's my argument. Do you know the shoes that David Thompson, Big O, and Clyde Fraizer wore on the court? I'd like to see Westbrooke get a triiple double in these. Because I know he aint averaing a triple double in then.

This. Also OP is ing only because pop is white, i don't know what is his problem.
Echoing whatever Harlem says duh. Same as a couple of other posters. They're probably his alts. If they're not it'd be really sad.
The Big O started wearing those Adidas in the late 60's. Before that, he mostly wore Converse All Stars.
Did they play 82 games back in the day?
I'd think less games and also as you say the style play would contribute.
Pop has one of the biggest egos I've ever seen. He micromanages the out of everything. When the spurs win he wants it to be because of his system not because one of his players went off. Theirs a reason why he has never taken blame for a loss ever. He'll always blame the players.
And when hes asked a legit question about his strategy, he makes the reporter look like an ass.
And how often do you see him boasting himself after wins? That's just ridiculous man. The hate for Pop on this site is comical. Not quite on Parker level yet, but I see it getting there soon.
Ya'll will appreciate the guy once he's gone.
Are apalisoc_9 and HarlemHeat the same person?
