I also think if Hurley were to go to NBA.... he'd be better off with a team like the Spurs (once Pop hangs it up). A well run organization, that obviously has aspirations/expectations of winning.... but is not under the spotlight 24/7/365 like The Lakers, Clippers, Celtics.... etc. Where expectations are magnified.
Even during the Spurs doming years with Duncan, Ginobili & Parker..... more people were talking bout the Lakers or Lebron & KD or Carmelo Anthony... or the big 3 in boston with Pierece, Allen & Garnett. And then of course when Lebron went to MIA with Wade & Bosh.
