If this year’s Spurs season was a movie, it would be one made up of character actors owning small scenes only to exit and allow someone else to steal the following frame. A production that’s packed with big names, but fans have no idea how much screen time an actor’s presence on a picture will actually warrant. It has been up to each player to make the most of their opportunity.
Last year, Kawhi Leonard was the singular star of the production. He was like an action hero at the height of their powers whose name on a poster brought ticket sales regardless of who the supporting cast or setting was.
