1. He has a point…NBA has turned into WWE with all the control officials have. It is designed to promote scoring at the peril of fairness to the defense The swipe thru fouls are just made up nonsense, driving into contact is a foul on defense, the pump fake and unnatural jump into defenders, etc. it’s all made up rules in last decade to benefit the offense (and NFL does the same thing)
2. But didn’t Pop start the “load management “ crap wjtb Ginobli, Duncan And Parker to keep them fresh for playoffs? I’d say that has hurt rhe game a ton as now guys routinely sit an entire year not to mention so many guys won’t play even 70 game a season now
3. As far as jacking threes a ton. Didn’t he sort of do that with his last title team with Danny Green, Matt Bonner, Patty Mills , Bruce Bowen , Etc. I agree too many guys are chucking contested threes. But he had plenty that did it
4. And didn’t Pop tank to get Tim Duncan? And shamelessly was the GM and fires the coach when they got Duncan to pair wjtb David Robinson?
