Not comparing the two organizations at ALL, but you know another team where brand identity is hard to come by?

The San Antonio Spurs.

Take a stellar and exciting player like Tony Parker. After all these years, does he have a "brand" that people genuinely like and flock to outside of the base of Spurs fans?

Kawhi Leonard is another example. One of the most underrated players in the game today. What does he have for a brand?

If Andrew Wiggins somehow found himself on the Spurs, would he give a flying **** about his brand? Probably not, I would say. Or maybe actually would. I don't know.

If he wants to change that, however, he only needs to look to a wet fart town like Oklahoma City and what they've turned into. Why? Because they've got star players who win shit. There's no reason why with all the young talent Minnesota would acquire in a Love deal that they couldn't create an OKC-like atmosphere if Wiggins is a legit superstar.

But whatever. I'm not in the position to make millions and millions of dollars for a professional sports team. I'm probably just projecting my ho-hum life onto that of a superstar similar to the people who bitched a day ago about Jamaal Charles owning up to the contract he signed because people in average jobs have to do that.
