Fans spent last season fretting over the physical and metaphorical shortcomings of LaMarcus Aldridge’s heart. Now, amid his best stretch as a Spur and after notching a new career regular-season high, it’s receiving some well-deserved praise:
“He was awarded that All-Star position for which he deserved. He’s basically carried us, him with his talent, everybody else with their heart. The game goes along, and you realize that his heart is as big or bigger than anybody’s. He’s on the board, getting rebounds, putting stuff back, blocking shots, doing a little bit of everything that we have to do to win games.
