    For those who don't know, this guy routinely makes insane posts like this.

    I'm not complaining. It is amusing. Y'all should find his other gems.

    Here's one:

    They definitely had a team first culture, but I feel like Duncan was in a tier above Parker and Ginobli...

    I’d say that in 1999 and 2003 their titles resembled most titles. 1 or 2 guys with outsized impact on overall winning compared to the rest of the roster. The 05 and 07 titles resembled the Pistons 04 title a bit more.

    Duncan was the best Power Forward of All Time, he better be.

    Yeah he definitely was but that still counts right? He just said the pistons were the only example. I think the spurs are a great example, despite having an all time great.

    I’d include Dennis Johnson’s 1979 Seattle team as another champ without a franchise player. Definitely a small list.

    I just don't understand and know where this stupid narrative came from that he was/is worried about his image or doing other things more.

    I think it stems from stupid Houston fans complaining about his nails and shiit.

    Similar to how a Houston fan created the infamous Harden defense video and started that narrative.

    As the Spurs fan on the now defunct Texas Triangle podcast put it: Duncan should have won the finals MVP in 2007, but the problem was he was guarded by LeBron while Tony Parker was "guarded" by Booby Gibson.

    Sengun goes #1 overall in a re-draft. Jalen Green goes 2. Scott Barnes 3. Mobley 4. Wagner 5.

    Pistons fans are turning on Cade. And quickly.

    I mean if that's what it ends up being 5 years down the line I'm the happiest person ever. We have a great one two duo and should lock these two up long-term.

    They had horses.....Tim Duncan, Manu, Parker, and later Kawhi.

    Too early to say... It's even early for the previous draft. Lamelo looked like HIM in Year One, now I'd take him #5 maybe, After Hali, ANT, Bane and maxey. And I am not even sure he's better than Vassel or Quickley, to be honest...

    I had goosebumps watching Pau and Kobe on Chop Shop the other day. If they can get to that point where the plays are determined between the 2 by instinct and gestures… goosebumps again.

    Outside of Sengün that draft class does not look so good now.......a lot left to be desired.

    The hell you think green is ahead of Barnes. I think having him ahead of Mobley and Wagner is unlikely too.
