Although it took some adjusting from all parties, the San Antonio Spurs and LaMarcus Aldridge have ultimately been a good fit over the course of the last four seasons. With three all-star bids and consecutive playoff appearances to show for it, Aldridge has worked his tail off to stay in-shape and adjust his play style to the teachings of Gregg Popovich.
Aldridge has served as a transitionary piece between Tim Duncan the player and Tim Duncan the coach – he’s a link between eras for this organization. He’s done his job to the best of his ability and has become a more well-rounded player for it.
