I agree, it's pointless near the bottom. There are tons of players with 3-4 trophies to their names. It's also missing people (KD at minimum). Here's the list without all star game MVPs: MJ 18 Russell 16 Kareem 15 LeBron 11 Magic 11 Duncan 11 Bird 10 Shaq 9 Kobe 8 Wilt 8 Cousy 7...

List should include Kevin Durant, who would currently place at Olajuwon tier with seven trophies. Too lazy to figure out who else is missing.

That's about as accurate a GOAT ranking as I've seen in a while, to be honest. Lol at Kobe and Shaq padding their numbers with All Star Game trophies.

Yeah, this is the other part of the equation. Kawhi’s different, like you say. It’s possible he is fully onboard with this whole plan, and didn’t need anyone to come up with it for him at all. But if it’s hard to change his mind and he doesn’t communicate well it would be tough to undo the...

Well, to be fair Danny wasn't criticizing the team or the medical staff when he said he should have had a second opinion. He was actually defending both Kawhi and the team docs in that interview, and said the Spurs medical staff is great and have always done a great job. His point was just that...

We've heard many reasons for Kawhi wanting out, all reported through the media. I am almost 100% sure we'll never hear Kawhi talk about it openly himself. Here's at least a partial list, off the top of my head; I'm sure I'm forgetting some. Spurs docs misdiagnosed his injury Feelings were...

I think you have the wrong impression of where I’m coming from. I’m not criticizing Kawhi for not talking. He can do his thing; it’s cool. I can find DeRozan’s openness refreshing without it being a condemnation of Kawhi’s personality. They are different cats.  Kawhi is definitely taking it on...

I can tell I'm still not over this Kawhi betrayal, because it makes me laugh to hear that Jordan brand is planning not to renew his shoe contract when it expires next season. Also the fact that he's not going to show up for Team USA mini camp is kind of funny; I'm guessing he's scared to look...

Honestly, I don't think it affects the perception of the team that much. Everyone knows Kawhi has forced his way out, and no one really knows why for sure. His group has leaked about a dozen different reasons, and none of them really make sense. Spurs have been class all the way (see Pop's press...

Yeah, it's disappointing to see Danny go. Raps are getting a great guy, even if his shooting has fallen off the last couple of years. Moreover the Spurs are losing a lot of "corporate knowledge" this season, with Green, Parker, probably Ginobili gone. It's a huge transition year for them.

I'm excited for this trade, as a Spurs fan. Mostly it's just a sense of relief for the Spurs chapter of the Kawhi saga to be over. DeRozan is about as good as I think the Spurs could have hoped to do coming out of this mess, with a player who insisted on killing his trade value so much. The...

If he refuses to play and claims an injury that is disputed by team doctors, the NBA assigns an independent medical evaluation of the situation. If their judgment is that he can play, but he continues to hold out, my understanding is that he won't be able to enter free agency next offseason as...

The offline downloading is optional. It's there for people who don't want to use data constantly for streaming, and it's only an option if you have a paid subscription. If you're less concerned about your data usage you can just stream whatever you want without downloading anything.

My understanding is they said it was something he would need to play through and get used to managing the pain. Kawhi’s “second” opinion was that he could rehab it and be back to his old self.

Bill Simmons is saying that Kawhi went through seven or eight “second opinion” doctors before he found one that would tell him what he wanted to hear. Only possibilities that I can see are that he was looking for an excuse to shut it down for the season and get traded, or he’s damaged goods and...
