“Hi my name is Kawhi Leonard I played with your team last season you just didn’t pay any attention to me because yall are all old,” Kawhi Leonard said.
“Okay you guys come to practice tomorrow at 5:30am sharp.” Gregg Popovich explained.

“Guys Gregg Popovich is smart, so let's all do it,” Tim Duncan said.

They all went home and got sleep and are at the practice right now.
“Okay guys I am glad all of you could make it here today, Popovich said thankfully, “Lets start with a easy dribbling after we work on dribbling we have to work on our three point shots. Any Questions?”
“Why is nobody else here besides me, Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili?” Kawhi questioned.
“Well you guys need the most work because yall need to learn how to play like the newer kids. You guys have been in the league for a while and you need to know how to keep up with the rookies,” Popovich explained, “okay are y'all to dribble because we need to get the ball handling inside of our brain. Tim here you try to spider.”
“Okay I’ll give it a shot. Wait no! The ball

    He rises up with his lanky frame, catches the brownish-orange sphere, then slams it through the basket with enough ferocity to bring down a small house. I felt as if he’d done it just to spite me as I sat on my couch, chips in hand. I couldn’t believe Kevin Durant had worn down the best player in the world, Lebron James, on the NBA’s biggest stage. Then I heard six dreadful words in my ear: “Who’s in your top five again?” This was a time my logical, objective outlook was really put to the test. I was forced to put aside my personal grievances with KD and, after seeing his dominant performance in the finals, put him in my top five players in the NBA.…

    What do I think will happen? I don't know, man. I've always made lists of predictions since I started keeping up with the league, but something about Lakers basketball this year has just been so erratic and unpredictable. The idea of growing up in LA, the city kept safe by the watchful eyes of Kobe Bryant, for all my 18 years to wind up watching a young and budding team with dreams of making their own names a household name is an idea that I’m slowly growing accustomed to.…
