Kevin Durant says that Zaza Pachulia is not a dirty player. “You can’t listen to people on Twitter,” Durant said. “They’re irrational.”
OK, then. Can you listen to Gregg Popovich?
You know. The most-respected man in the NBA. I guess we could find someone more respected than Pop, though I’d be hard-pressed to think who it might be. Popovich’s long history of success and his total lack of self-promotion gives him peerless credibility. When the Warriors struck gold with a couple of draft picks and a couple of contracts, principal owner Joe Lacob called Golden State “light years” ahead of everyone in the NBA.
