Trump says Obama and other presidents don't make calls to family members of those who lost loved ones in the military. www.yahoo.com/sports/gregg-popovich-president-trump-soulless-coward-225829012.htmlWhen does it ever stop with this man? I love Popovich continuing to speak the truth about this man in the White House. I mean is Popovich the only high profile coach willing to speak his mind when it comes to this president? I honestly hope the Spurs win it all just so he can tell Trump to his face how unfit and unqualified he is to be running this country.

I'll be labeled a Spurs fan but I hope they win it all but it seems unlikely. Spurs championship serves multiple purposes now - rewards pops bravery and will discourage future too strong to fail teams like the current warriors. Next 3-4 straight warrior championships would be complete yawn inducing exercises. Lastly 2b will balk at this but Duncan was the key to that spur team success over the last two decades as much as pop was. Even in the last championship.

Really I said that in jest, I know he wouldn't go to the White House and I don't think they are going to win it all either. But to me Sam this has nothing to do with basketball or championships at all. I don't care about "superteams" or "non-superteams" with regard to the content of this thread. This is about something much more serious than a basketball game or championships. This about a deranged unqualified orange haired buffoon who occupies the most powerful office in the land who has the ability to do real lasting damage to this country and to those who live here.

Balk at Timmy D being as important to SA as Pop? Nah, Tim was vital to their very relevancy. Just so you know Sammie, I was such a fan of Tim in his younger days I wanted to trade Shaq for him straight up because “Kobe and Tim would win 8 titles” is what I said back in 2001. But as the man got older I definitely rode him harder for being a tired old shitbag

Both are inherently unfair.

Both are inherently unfair. Two entirely different things Sam. The major financial institutions were saved by the federal government. The Golden State Warriors have a strong organization with good basketball minded people who built a solid foundation before they were even a superteam. As they got better, super star talented players considered playing for them or joined them as was the case with Durant. The league (government) did not hand the Warriors a thing. I cannot and will never blame the Warriors for how they built and I will never blame a player who chooses to play for such a team for whatever reason, whether that's the "popular" thing to do or not. The Lakers used to be like the Warriors (from an organization perspective). If we ever become an elite organization again, then at some point we will also reap the benefits of what the Warriors currently have. And if that means all the best players want to come play for the LA Lakers at the expense of some pipe dream "utopian parity" league that other fans wish for then so be it.

Different in impact to taxpayer no doubt but similar in that too strong to fail at the expense of the little guy - tax payer or a small market nba fan. Anyway this topic has been over exhausted so nuffsaud 😄

I'm not taking the bait. It's definitely true and not just for me either. Warriors win next two relatively unchallenged and this league is in trouble. Take that to the bank!

One you have zero answer for. The small market team had every opportunity to be that team but blew it.

OKC fucked up.

KD is not the only example here. There is no invention of anything. You made your argument analogy and it’s false because it’s so easily disproved simply by going back a few years. Small market Oklahoma City had drafted the foundation for the modern day dominant dynasty. But rather keeping that core together they traded an mvp candidate away for scraps just a couple of years in and never recovered as a franchise. That’s not an “invention of a fact” it’s the god damn truth. One that you didn’t even know about when we all started talking about this a year ago. So you can carry on with your shitty analogy’s that are unequivocally false all you want. I’ll be right here to correct you though.

And u can keep spewing your shitty logic without any merit and feel all high and mighty and I'll be here too to get you off your fantasy land and confirm that you're entitled to your opinion but you don't own any facts no matter how much you think you do. Never have never will. And don't take my word for it - google it and you'll see multitudes of view points on this (which are of course all by dumb people no doubt lol). It's real simple. Nobody wants a competitive sports entertainment option where the outcome is predetermined. Really it's not that hard a concept to fathom dude! Here's another analogy that I doubt you'll comprehend. Kinda like fixed boxing or wrestling match where it's predetermined who wins except in this case its not that egregious or illegal ....yet! Cue in your "I'm the smartest here". tirade now abd this is why youre wrong and your position is shitty. Some things will never change 😂.

Some things will never change 😂. “Shitty logic without merit.” Did you think of that all by yourself Sam? I like how rather than address the points made you cowardly puss out with that kind of statement. Did OKC draft Durant, Westbrook and James Harden? Yes or no? Are they all legitimate mvp type players yes or no? Did they prematurely break up this team over $5M yes or no? After the trade did the team ever achieve what it did prior to the trade yes or no? I don’t doubt for a minute that you’re so much of a pussy rather than address these facts you’ll deflect again and again endlessly whining about just the things you want to focus on and ignore everything else. Your “too big to fail” analogy is just an logical failure that shows how you don’t understand how the nba or it’s rules work. You want tyrant like abilities that allow you, the king, to intervene when you see something you don’t like despite no rules being in place to stop it. Guess that makes you the board Trump.
