This. Your Kung Fu is usually stronger than this DMC. I'm not buying what you're selling here.
In SA the socially elite hang where exactly? Oh that's right, they fly to LA or NY. Austin is more socially elite than SA.

Really, his wife family all lives there. Really, who in the would want to live in Akron. Jason Kidd didn't sign with the Spurs because of his then wife. So yeah, that is what I believe.
A guy worth millions who has lived away from his kid for that long isn't serious. It's all media fodder, nothing more. NBA stars almost always want the same things, fame, fortune and success. Being near Jr never mattered to them.
lol
He's worth hundreds of millions. She can live anywhere she goddamn well pleases. If it was that important to him he wouldn't have left.
Kidd's wife didn't want to live in SA either, he just didn't want to take the blame on his shoulders.
There's always these "reasons".
Pointless thread, he could live in Austin. San Antonio is no different than Milwaukee, Kansas City, or any other city.
You'll be on the outside looking in.
lol
SA is one of my favorite places and I go everywhere. Still, it's not a Mecca for the wealthy.
SPLITTER to ATL tells me you're wrong. But that's the joy of doing what you just did. You weren't buying what you were selling either.
He lives in LA during the off season.
Yet, Lebron in his letter said he is moving back to Ohio because of family.
Kidd stated in an interview that THE ONLY REGRET he had in his career was not signing with the Spurs. These guys are worth a load of money, but it doesn't mean they don't value family. Just saying, just because maybe you don't doesn't mean someone else doesn't.
Eh, it's not like free agents line up begging to play in those cities, even with civilized lime light.
I think it's somewhere around reason #5 or 6. Definitely not the top reason why free agents go where they do.
And his son visits him. But from what a teammate of his said, he wanted to be closer to his son because his son is 5 and at the age he needs his father. This might be BS, but look, it looks like LMA is coming to the Spurs. So maybe there was some truth to it after all.
I thought Dallas was the frontrunner with HIS family being from Dallas. But his Baby mama's family is from SA.
This thread is obsolete in a few days,
as LMA signs with Spurs
===== as the sun rises in the east, believe that Aldridge comes here.....
OP has balls. Big, overweight, obese balls. But balls nonetheless.
If he doesn't want to play here because he doesn't want to be in the shadow of Duncan, then he is a pussy.
It's silly when someone makes a huge generalization like "Stars don't wanna play in San Antonio." There are many stars and they are all different people with different personalities. Shaq and Yao, Jerry West and Bill Russell, Walt Frazier and Dave Cowens, Dr J and Bird, Allen Iverson and John Stockton, Duncan and Kobe. Even if many stars share some personality characteristics, that wouldn't eliminate the possibility of one star choosing any one destination. And it looks like it's about to happen...
This is hilarious.
Like we all are in LMA's head.
Just for the huge award of saying I told you so on ST with a 50/50 question. This is Ms. Cleo type . DMC, the great Kreskin. Uri Geller bending that spoon with the powerful mind waves.
What did you expect him to say, "I'm going back to Cleveland because I don't want to split the pot 3 ways in Miami"? The truth would have been expensive, and unnecessary when the fan base is clogged with naive people.
Do you really believe the these people say?Kidd stated in an interview that THE ONLY REGRET he had in his career was not signing with the Spurs. These guys are worth a load of money, but it doesn't mean they don't value family. Just saying, just because maybe you don't doesn't mean someone else doesn't.
If LA had the run the Spurs have had over the past 16 years, you'd have to beat free agents away. , they sucked and got Shaq, Pau, Dwight, Artest, Nash (lol) and Boozer. Spurs would have thought they won the lottery if they got Boozer.
You should give that more consideration. Black male has reason to be away from kids, and you think he's suffering because of it. lol
Shaq was the only one in that group that moved to LA to be in Hollywood. The rest came to win a le. And Pau and Dwight bolted when they realized they weren't gonna any more.
but otherwise good point on why the location itself is overblown
I'm hopping on the DMC wagon. LMA is re-signing in Portland.
Why did LeBron go to Cleveland? You say it had nothing to do with family, so isn't LeBron the perfect example of a star who didn't care about the glamour of L.A., N.Y., or Chicago?
