San Antonio Spurs top five stories of the week: 8/28-9/3

1. Topping this week's list are the three stories covering Sport Illustrated's Top 100 rankings. First Tony Parker and Danny Green made the top 53, then LaMarcus Aldridge and Tim Duncan make the top 12, and finally Kawhi Leonard ranked 10th.

2. David West doesn't fit with the Spurs' second unit
We had quite a bit of conversation around Jesus Gomez's assertion that many of West's talents are, given the makeup of the Spurs roster, somewhat redundant.

3. Building the best-ever Spurs starting lineup, and Building the best ever Spurs bench
Michael Erler set up some arbitrary rules to make things interesting.

4. Who is set to "break out" for the Spurs?
We participated in SBNation's NBA Theme Day.

5. VIDEO: Impressions of Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili
