Coach Becky Hammon: Keldon Johnson "could be steal of the draft"

[weebo]

to white folks yes, when in reality white people have committed the most heinous crimes in history.

Word. Ain’t easy being black or brown in the MAGA era...

So ahead he lost the greatest player in the league because he wouldn't bend the knee to dear uncle and unleashed Tony on him in the press.

Can we quit acting like Pop is some savant? He doesn't tolerate thug culture at all on his teams, while complaining in the press about the plight of the black man in America. That's hardly what I would call ahead of the compe ion.

Tony wasn’t unleashed on him. Fake news.

No joke.
My beautiful, wonderful, amazing and successful wife is Mexican/American and she's absolutely terrified to leave our city.
We went on one vacation and she got harassed ugly at an airport for speaking Spanish.

Ridiculous stuff going on over here.

[EricB]

Keldon would have been a steal at 19 (much less 29).

The interesting thing will be to watch Luka vs. Little over the years. It certainly looks like the Spurs could have had either one PLUS Keldon.

Of course, Little was hard to pass up at where he fell to. But I'll trust PATFO unless and until the facts counsel otherwise.

Little’s offcourt issues were the reason he’s not in SA.

it's very easy for me. I don't see white people unless I go shopping. I live in a very nice black area that has has a 0% crime rate due to it being inhabited by senior citizens(it's where I choose to live. it's peaceful). So I don't see white people at all unless I'm at B&N or Walmart. And even then, I'm carrying a couple of guns(legally) for protection.

I agree. I look at Kerr, he took over the Warriors after an authoritarian type coach in Jackson. Nurse, I just have a lot of respect for the way he's worked his way up through the coaching ranks. Dude's a tape room junkie and has been for a long time, and appears to have good interpersonal skills with his players and is good at adjusting.

Mark Jackson was a players coach that all the players besides Festus Ezeli and Andrew Bogut liked alot on those Warrior teams. He got fired because him and the front office clashed.

So is his ceiling being a great 3 and D player who is great to have playing off the ball, or does he have the potential to expand his game beyond that?

He's already a 3-and-D player who's also good at driving and drawing fouls. He has enough time to assemble a complete offensive arsenal of step backs, post moves, off the dribble pull ups, scoring in the pick and roll, handling the ball and setting his team mates up. Should develop into a great 2-way player

[SequSpur]

I already called this . Plagiarism.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

I don't have any problem with some Spurs Talk expert making a critical comment of Pop on a play or missed opportunity on the court to play another player. If the expert can back it up with some good comments, that is part of what this site is all about.

However, all the talk about Pop being a bad coach or Patfo being incapable of putting a team together on a career basis is just drivel from someone wanting attention or someone who knows nothing about the general consensus in the NBA coaches, management and players about Pop and Spurs organization being wildly successful for a small market team.

So true

[SpurPadre]

Hes also really vocal and a trash talker.

Pop will put a stop to that , right quick, tbh.

[MultiTroll]

Beckys previous takes on talent potential anyone?

Just wondering if we have some sort of reference point.

[offset formation]

So thug= black in America?

Your tipoff was right in his name. Aggie anything is all you ever really need to know about them.

You couldn't be more wrong on that, but hey, stick with stupid stereotypes.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Your tipoff was right in his name. Aggie anything is all you ever really need to know about them.

That's racist.

[Marcus Bryant]

that Pop is somehow not a "player's coach". Here we are 20 years later and people are still floating that canard.

[DJR210]

I mean other than that he spends a lot of money on nice cars and already has a house.

you want him to rent a sect. 8 apartment to be a better basketball player or what
