That LeBron guy is pretty good.
On another note, any chance some of the other teams in the league have the wherewithal to pick up on how the Spurs play basketball? What a fantastic team to watch. So much better than the 1 and 2 man game so prevalent in today's NBA.
Very little chance of that happening IMO. The most important thing is unselfish star player(s). How many of those are there? What star player doesn't care about his touches? Nash, LeBron, Paul,
Durant... ? Think Melo would be happy only getting 10-15 shots a game? Howard? Kobe? Wade? Rose? Johnson?Then you need a team full of good outside shooters which there just aren't that many of. And a lot of the ones who are good shooters, are useless everywhere else (Novak, Korver, Jones, Gordon, Redick, etc.)
This iteration of the Spurs reminds me of the past Suns teams with the major difference being that the Spurs have a great post player (Duncan) for when things get bogged down and you need to get a great shot. And of course the Spurs actually play defense.
I'd love to see other teams try to follow suit. Haven't enjoyed watching a team play like I do the Spurs since the old Suns teams.
