International players are more selfless. Ginobili could’ve been a bigger star if he played somewhere else. Speaking of the Spurs they really had two #1 picks that turned into superstars and were completely drama free in Robinson/Duncan. That’s just crazy/unfair luck.
That was also the decision of a coach who’d built a culture and already won a title as well.
A Pop or a Jackson (in his prime) or a Riley type could probably convince a Beal type player to be a 6th man, but I don’t think Bud has that cache as a first year coach, regardless of the one title he won somewhere else.
