Why not- extend Pop's coaching career and surpass the joke that is Phil Jackson

It will never happen, but Lebron and Pop together might prompt the rest of the league to give up entirely.

Agree it'll never happen but it would be really awesome.

David Robinson and Robert Horry might pile onto that to get another ring.

I'm a die hard spurs fan...I'd had to shoot myself.

That would be awesome.

a starting 5 of Speedy Claxton, Gary Neal, LBJ, Sidney Green and David Robinson might get the 8 seed in the East.

Lebron and Pop together

If that happened, we can all just go home. No point in even opposing.

LeBron has too much ego to play within Pop's system.

Was about to say the same thing.

No thanks.

Lebron has an ego, but not on the court. 90% of the reason people talked about him being "not clutch" was because he is willing to make the right play rather than take a stupid shot to prove that he's the man.

I don't see how any of you could say you wouldn't want him. He's the best basketball player on the planet, potentially of all time. Of course I would love to see it, but he would never play for such a small market. His family would hate SA.

I want Lebron

And actually Bron has a player option next summer.

Labron plays Spurs basketball already. Put him with Pop and they'd be sick. Of course, the first thing Pop would do is make him shoot more.

This.

Doesn't matter. Pop cut Stephen Jackson four games before the playoffs because he wouldn't admit that Ginobili and Danny Green were better players than SJax and deserved their minutes ahead of him.

I can't see Bron accepting Pop berating him in practice/games when he has a mental lapse.



All that doesn't matter. It won't happen.

Pop isn't Bobby Knight. He's way smarter. He'll coach LBJ the way he needs to be coached.

And LBJ would accept it because Pop has skins on the wall and an army of players that would jump in front of a bus for him. LBJ also has a very high basketball IQ already. He'd fit right in.

Just a guess, but something tells that there wouldn't be anyone playing in front of LeBron. And LeBron is not volatile like Jackson off of the court.

LBJ has already shown that he is willing to put other guy’s ahead of him. If anything, it’s his weakness. I think he would thrive in San Antonio under Pop, and I hate saying that.

Splitter
LeBron
Kawhi
Green
Parker

While we're smoking the Lebron to San Antonio crack, I'd like to see Chris Paul backing up Tony Parker next season.

Don't think LeBron would ever come to S.A.

Oh, I don't think he'd come to SA. It would hurt his stated goal of becoming a billionaire. But one can always dream...

Yeah, not a chance he comes to SA.

It's fun to dream, other Texas teams are doing the same regarding free agents.

Lebron would fit perfectly into Pops system. And make no mistake, Pop would adjust his system to make it fit even better.

I could see some off the court head butting... but on the court, during the game they would be unstoppable... But James would never come to SA

Plus who wouldn't want to play for this guy...

WTF? Do you even follow the NBA? Lebron is about as unselfish a player on the court as there is. He would be perfect for the Spurs. Lebron is a guy that tries to get everyone involved and at times to a fault (as mentioned above.

To say that he has too big an ego, is just someone being stupid.

Perhaps you've already forgotten LeBron's hour long announcement press conference:

"You can't spell James without 'me,' and it's more difficult to defend James for this arrogant exercise than it is to defend him in the pick and roll."
--Ethan Skolnick, South Florida Sun-Sentinel

"James isn't an athlete. That's too confining. He is a 'brand.' So while some of us shake our heads at the nonsense of turning a career decision into a prime-time TV production, others of us marvel at the way LeBron is playing the game. And we're not talking basketball."
--Paul Daugherty, Cincinnati Enquirer

"It's an hour-long mental masturbation about the wonder of LeBron."
--Gregg Doyel, CBSsports.com

"You want to give to charity, quietly write a check. Don't get a network to do it for you so it gets to pump its shows and you get to shower yourself in international coverage -- while calling it philanthropy. The NBA has embarrassed itself here. The media have embarrassed themselves. And a guy who calls himself 'King' may be beyond embarrassment, which is truly embarrassing."
--Mitch Albom, Detroit Free Press

"LeBron's team wanted to keep people talking and promote his website, and really, that's what happened. The man nearly exploded Twitter and melted ESPN. He transcended free agency, the World Cup, everything."
--Bill Simmons, ESPN.com


Sounds like the perfect Spur to me.

You need to watch more basketball and less commentary.

Lebron is perhaps the most unselfish player in the NBA. To a fault, even. He'd make a GREAT Spur.

he will have better talent than Miami

and better coach than cleveland or LA

it's a possibility

Those that agree with this sentiment "LeBron has too much ego to play within Pop's system." are letting their bias get in the way of their vision.

LeBron and Pop would not work good together, IMO.
