Boris next to... Batum and his replacement :lol

[DenialTwist]

Can't wait to watch this. Of course I'm rooting for Team Africa. But I am looking forward to watching Vucevic play with the Gasol brothers.

Giannis lol

Would be nice to see Batum on Pop's team. His dream.

Beat Chris Paul & the Gasols Pop

Ibaka not playing?

[TheGreatYacht]

Ibaka had surgery in March and still isn't 100%, I wonder why Mudiay didn't join though

[ace3g]

I guess Luc technically shouldn't have a name on his jersey, lol

Boris making court long passes so he doesn't have to run the floor....LOL

Boris can now claim he had some summer workouts.......

[exstatic]

Diaw wearing his Spurs jersey not team Africa's

There is no team Africa or team World jersey. Everyone is in their NBA team (or former team for FAs) jersey.

[jeebus]

This is one of those games where they stop the game if someone in the audience starts to bleed, not if a player bleeds.

[ace3g]

Mutombo entering the game!!!

Whoa Pop lost? His lead was 18 earliet :lol

[Russ]

Well, at least the Spurs had one winning coach this summer . . . :toast

[313]

Giving up a 20 points lead, yeah it's Pop's team...

[kobyz]

Whoa Pop lost? His lead was 18 earliet :lol

Why the surprise? most naive coach of all time for a reason, and also still with the cursed beard...

[tatteredprince]

Some observations from watching this game:

Boris Diaw can really lead a team, got a ton of respect for this guy
if he comes in and puts his heart for our team this year, we are going to go places

Also, imo Boris Diaw is a better playing coach NOW than lebron james
Boris KNOWS how to involve his teammates in the right way

wow, Dikembe and Hakeem playing for Pop

just awesome

great historical game! kudos!

Pops new protege?

[DenialTwist]

Giving up a 20 points lead, yeah it's Pop's team...

And this is what Pop said he didn't like when the spurs would play :lmao

[ceperez]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CLVDs8FVAAAwtFY.jpg:large

Yeah... if this guy becomes available, I'll do a sign and trade to get rid of Aldridge.

[ceperez]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CLVIvACWwAASdXo.jpg:large

Wait a second here... did he delegate all the coaching duties to Boris????

[exstatic]

Yeah... if this guy becomes available, I'll do a sign and trade to get rid of Aldridge.

You're a fucking idiot. Aldridge is a multiple time All Star and All NBA player. Ibaka blocks some shots, and has a jumper. Once his springs go in his late 20s/early 30s, he's useless.
