Sloan is a great motivator.

Same ol' excuses... Get over it. The missing piece to the championship is obviously not motivation.
Do we think Jefferson would play this mediocre in San Antonio? I know I sure don't.

Would you think R-Jeff played atricious during the whole 09-10 season as a member of Spurs? I guess you would not, just like the big majority of NBA fans and experts. It's not better motivation by Pop which turned Jefferson into a completely different player this year. The change was all about commitment, dedication and offseason work of Jefferson.

I don't think San Antonio would've went after Jefferson. He's been a garbage player (disruptive to every set that isn't him posting up, and his post game is extremely inconsistent and overrated, this hasn't changed), for every year of his career, including large parts of this season.
Sometimes he looks really good, but I've never seen him play a strong 4 quarters this season. He's been a good shot-blocker, though, but I'm not sure that makes up for his ability to gum up the offense, especially considering I'm not sold on his defensive fundamentals, either. And he's soft. God, is he soft.

If Al similarly comes back next season after a summer of "commitment, dedication and offseason" work, I'll be impressed. But I'm not holding my breath.
Much of that motivation comes from coaching and I don't see Sloan planting seeds in his players minds like Pops or Jackson.
OF course Sloan had NOTHING to do with the mindset planted in Stockton and Malone at all.
You provided ONE coach who might motivate ONE player better. So we should fire Sloan now and hire Pop. Do it!!!!!
So do you mean like fluffy/fuzzy soft or Charmin soft, or baby's bottom soft?
I haven't rubbed or squeezed him lately but I will take your word for it.
