Earlier this month, @SASpursFamily tweeted something about the San Antonio Spurs‘ center, Jakob Poeltl. Call me Kevin Durant, because the tweet got me way too fired up. “Jakob Poeltl is a top 10 center in the league and a top-three defensive center,” said the tweet.
My first reaction was sheer laughter. Not because it’s not based on some semblance of truth – he honestly might be. Poeltl really has been that good this year. But because, like most sports fans who read these things, my first reaction would be to share that with all the other NBA fans I know.
