"The transition from a primary starter to a sixth-man role for the Spurs was a significant turning point in Keldon Johnson’s career.
Despite being a cornerstone of the starting five for three seasons, Johnson handled the shift with a level of professionalism and selflessness that earned him praise from Coach Gregg Popovich who decided he wanted a "spark plug" off the bench.
He famously said: “If that’s what we need and that’s what we’re going to try, then that’s what we’re going to do. I don’t have an ego about it."
Will his sacrifice pay off with a Sixth Man of the Year award? 🤔"

Future 6MOTY!
Why manu came off the bench
This AI shit doesn’t even look like him.
Theres so many pictures of Keldon. Why the fuck use AI to generate one. That being said, 6MOY for sure
What is a “team win off the bench “?
I’d love it if he did, I think Mitchell has been injured a while so this win statistic might be a little misrepresentative. But I think Keldon’s FG % and key plays down the stretch make him a front runner.
Keldon really is the plutonic ideal of a Spur through and through
You really gonna make me choose between supporting Big Body and supporting AI slop? Boo this man.
Who the hell is that
Wow! I know KJ improved his 3 point shooting but didn’t realize he was at over 40%!! KJ needs to stay a Spur. How quick people wanted him gone last season!
