    Victor Wembanyama is a once in a generational player and the Spurs, a small market team, who needs another Tim Duncan lite player to stay relevant, otherwise that team is non-existent. Tony Parker, who is ironically an ex-Spur has been seen with VM none stop.

    I just find it strange that they were on the verge of building a young team, then all of a sudden reverted and decided to tare everything down.

    Could be similar to the Knicks and Patrick Ewing?

    The verge of building what young team? Aside from a 26 y/o Murray and a ok player or 2, they had absolutely nothing…

    they had won 32, 33, and 34 games the past 3 years which means they had stagnated to a level that’s barely even play-in worthy while having little in the way of young talent

    He's seen with Tony Parker because Tony Parker owns the team Wembanyama used to play for and he mentors him. That being said, I'm sure the Spurs will be tanking... and they should.

    He is a great young player, just as many others that have come before him, like Ralph Sampson.

    Portland has it.

    Nurkic is old school center that doesn't win in the NBA anymore.

    Dame will be rewarded for staying in his small market.

    Shaedon Sharpe will be somewhat of a bust.

    Tony Parker is french and hangs around Wembanyama for the same reason.
    No different than Yao Ming hanging around Zhou Qi or Yi Jianlian

    Have you seen Shaedon Sharpe play?
    Because he may very well be special

    Think about it. A team like the Spurs can not draw high dollar free agents to go there, it's a small market team, the only way you're going to attack other players is unless you have a marquee player.

    I just find it ironic that Victor Wembanyama is coming out, Tony Parker ,a former Spur, is a close friend of VW and the Spurs just so happen to start their tank this yr.

    We can agree that the Spurs had more than their share of big success.

    It's time for OKC to win one...... Lmao

    Yes, I've seen all his highschool games and the many (like none) college games that he played
    last season. Shot the ball well vs a kindergarten team the other day.

    You think the Blazers are going to let him excel this season? Answer: Wembanyama

    Vs Clippers: 15 minutes and 2 points (projected to 30 minutes....4 points)
    Vs a bad Jazz team: 16 minutes and 5 points (projected to 32 minutes.....10 points)

    I dislike quitters and people who beat up women. Those qualities apparently appeal to you.

    You've already been shown the error of your ways in the fight between KPJ, his sister and the other lady, but yet you persist. https://bleacherreport.com/articles...of-punching-woman-in-face-during-august-fight

    As far as quitting I think people regardless of age can be given a chance to correct their misdeeds. Would be a shame if this society would throw everyone out after one or two mistakes of after baseless accusations that dont lead to criminal charges. Focus on the weed and the gun that would be a more tangible thing to hold onto, but you never mention THAT. Curious.

    I hope KPJ succeeds just so you can learn a little humility and hopefully pass that along to the young children that you're supposed to be teaching.

    I have a suspicion that what you portray here is nothing like the person you really are and this place is just a venting mechanism. At least I'd like to believe that. Like I said before its terrifying that someone as caustic and intentionally abrasive would be like that all the time especially in the company of children. Glad KPJ has a better support system and positive male figures around him than the ugliness you promote.

    Anytime you see two French guys together trouble is brewing.

    I think that people change their stories after the fact but you're entitled to believe what you believe on it.

    I don't personally care about weed either way. I don't smoke it but I don't necessarily have a problem with someone who does it recreational. Kind of depends on the circumstances. In terms of him having a gun I have absolutely no problem with that. Look at our society. He's entitled to protect himself.

    On the quitting there's a huge difference between getting angry and leaving a game at halftime. That's inexcusable.

    I teach my kids values. I want to see them succeed and make it to college whether it be sports , academic or in general. Posting on an internet forum has absolutely no relevance to how I coach. As to KPJ, he's had John Lucas whom I have tremendous respect for and he still couldn't get it together. I certainly wouldn't want my kids to pattern themselves after him. All that God given talent that most would love to have and takes it forgranted

    You found two correlated things - so yes, grand conspiracy confirmed.
