Playing 82 games seems so rare nowadays

Both Keldon and Julian Champagnie played 82 games for the Spurs. They’ve been very durable and reliable while everyone else on the rest of the roster has missed a good number of games this season.

I think the spurs might be the only team with two players that played all 82 games

Assuming the geographical clockwise rotation of teams maintains - charlotte is directly across from the Bay Area, so Keldon’s kid is running the league on the Timberwolves in 2034

Keldon, Julian, and Mikal Bridges and Podz played in 83 non-playoff games this season.

One of those, like the play in games, just disappears into the ether

Yeah, it’s still a cool little nugget

My point was that those games should be taken into account somehow, I guess because they’re relatively new the NBA doesn’t know what to do with them…

Yeah. No idea what the workable solution is.

I love how Keldon gives the team a visible shot in the arm every time he comes in. Consistently productive, physical on both ends of the court, always gassing up his teammates. This man was drafted 29th.

He has had such a weird career arc and has handled it with consummate grace. He got 2 years with LMA, Rudy Gay, and DeRozan, then had to step up and keep the flame alive during the rebuild. And as that rebuild happened, he’s had to watch his role get pushed further and further back with every step. To have the mentality and team spirit he does is remarkable for such a competitive player, and compete he does every single night.

Love this dude. Go Spurs go!
