hmmmmmm
I'll believe it when I see it. His Blazers were a team that settled for jumpers, and the Spurs have become the same with him. The world changes without Tim Duncan next to you, bruh.
Thanks for sharing, it's a nice article! I am happy to see LMA taking more 3pt shots this year like he did with Portland.
Terrific article thanks for sharing. Great statement from RC on Aldridge's character, specially the diva accusations run in the face of this:
Coach Pop:"I don't know that he struggled," Spurs general manager R.C. Buford said. "I would guess there are very few mid-career changes where you walk in and it's an instantaneous transition; especially in a group that had played together for a long time. I don't know that any of us felt like he struggled to begin with. It took time for us to understand how he fits best, and for him to learn how to best impact our club. I think he was very respectful of the group that was here. He had no intention of coming in and impacting our group in a way the team wasn't comfortable with."
On multiple occasions, Popovich admitted last season that Aldridge was deferring to his new teammates, "just trying to fit in."
Now, Popovich "absolutely" envisions Aldridge taking on more of a leadership role with the Spurs in the absence of Duncan.
"LaMarcus and Kawhi are the main scorers on the team so to speak," Popovich said. "So it'll be interesting to see how [their] leadership develops."
