Didnt we skip on Dejuan Blair and got JP instead because we were scared about Blair's knees? But Pendergraph ended up being the one to go down instead. Some cruel joke.

If we'd drafted Blair, his knees would have exploded while he was shaking David Stern's hand.

everyone else passed on Blair too..

Only 4 other teams passed on Blair with their 2nd round picks, and we passed on two 2nd round picks.

2009 draft by KP = epic fail

4 draft choices, one Dante

Even Dante Cunningham is nothing special, so it definitely blew.

the Spurs didn't

and they’re scouting staff has a decent rep re: finding diamonds in the rough

they also tend to exaggerate a prospects injury issues predraft, and—well lookie here!—Blair dropped right into their lap

Meh.

Blair can’t tear his ligaments BECAUSE HE DOESN"T HAVE ANY ANYMORE.

Blair is now thought to face a higher risk of damaging his knees (especially his meniscus) than athletes with repaired ACLs—and he may end up with osteoarthritis.

Why do people abbreviate everyone's name now?

His uncle uses J when posting on here. I think his teammates use JP as well. It’s the same for LA. It’s not BR, though, it’s B-Roy. I haven’t seen NB, but I’ve seen Nic, Nico, and Frenchie. It’s just the nickname that stuck.

When the world knows Nico Batum as "The Inevitable", I'll be very happy with where he is as a player.

well KP didn't get JB cause he wanted JP

but PA was a JB fan and told NM that KP was a punk so JQ wrote a story about it and now we are all SOL…
