Kawhi steps out of shadow of Spurs’ Big 3

June 15, 2014 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

When San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich unleashed Kawhi Leonard, the 2014 NBA Finals turned into a one-sided contest. Leonard looked like a different player after a disappointing Game 2.

June 15, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

When Manu Ginobili ever decides to retire from the NBA, he’ll go down in basketball history as one of the greatest to play the game. He’s a first-ballot Hall-of-Famer who belongs on the Mt.
