I think it might be plausible that after living under the shadows cast by Duncan's greatness and Manu's popularity for years, combined with all the talk of Kawhi being the successor to the throne, so to speak, may have rubbed him the wrong way, given it was only last season that the media started to truly recognize his own individual greatness and the Spurs being deemed his team.

It's hard to imagine not being pissed after waiting for your due for quite some time and then everyone in the world trying to take it away so quickly.

Who knows really

Thats what I hate about him, even while I didnt watch tonight game, Manu and Tim makes everybody better and thats unselfish team playing.

Well he had 6 years to do something, now as you say he is being overshadowed.
He wont let Pop give some more minutes to Patty even if he deserves it, that his alpha male mentality, or even if doing so he gets some more fuel in the tank.
We need more Patty Mills dude is pure energy and a great scorer I hate when Pop puts Patty for 3 minutes knowing that he probably will make 8 points in such little time, then he does it and back to bench.
Then Porky gets injured late in the season and Patty doesnt feel at home playing more than he used to and full of pressure.

I agree with your points. If this is the case, if Tonys drive or ego, lol, is furthering decisions by Pop then it's truly detrimental to everything we have going for us. It would be the an hesis to what we have been known to be seen as really.

In that reality Tony wouldn't stand to be rested for games, which would allow Patty to gain the experience needed and In the games, despite Patty's good play, Tony is gonna get his minutes because Pop has to pander to his new star.

That's pretty disturbing really.

Its not as if these things don't happen in the NBA. But who knows what sort of politicking goes on beyond the scenes of an especially veiled team like the Spurs.

Again in this all conjecture, but we'll see how things progress. It's interesting to speculate. Im going to keep more of a closer eye on the body language though. It's always telling.

Lebron James will be 29 years old in a few days, he plays 40 something minutes and look how he never gets out of gas, Tony is 31 and burned like a roach inside a microwave, I know Lebron is using PEDs and HGH, but the fact is the dude delivers.
Everytime I see a Parker interview he talks about how he must carry the team and how he must be the leader, but this is Duncan´s team and I doubt Spurs players are seeing Pork as the one in charge, but his ego is the size of Grand Canyon.
I´ve never see him happy about others while benching either, but it could be just me.

We'll I think Tim and Pop have publicly said as much, but I could be mistaken. I think it was apparent three-four years ago team couldn't carry this team to championships, so it was a deliberate decision to say it's Tony's, as he's the only one left with the energy or talent to take them that far.

But speaking to Lebron, he's the NBA's , no doubt. He's hardly a basketball player. He's a running back. And he got his ring because the NBA needs a new Jordan. It's all bull . Marketing. Money. In what universe would 3 USA Olympians be allowed to join the same team. It's ridiculous. Stern had vetoed trades for lack of proper paper work, yet he'd let that happen? His jumper is still as inconsistent as Tony Parker's and he can't shoot free throws like an elite player.

You know what are you talking about, Stern killed the Chris Paul to Lakers deal, but had no problem with Lebron and Bosh to the Heat, I also remember Pau Gasol to the Lakers for free.

does anybody noticed what Timmy started to shave his armpits?

Stern and the NBA were owners of the Hornets. They declined the trade because it wasn't good for the Hornets as a team, as they didn't get enough back from the Lakers.

Yeah, but what about the Gasol trade? even Pop himself said Lakers got him for free.
