Damn that was nice. Thx for sharing :bobo

[tholdren]

Good read.

Great article. :lol I wanna see video of the team on that ropes course.

What are some other character traits you look for?

:wow Can we get that .gif of Porker laser eyeing DGreen. :lol

Jacks Valley training session was great.

great read :tu

Nice read. I think a big part of why the Big 3 + Pop have been so successful is that all see a bigger picture outside of basketball.

It's what separates them from guys like MJ, Kirby, Larry Brown, etc....who will be miserable once they walk away from the game, if they ever will...

Pop has his wine/politics, Timmy has his kids/cars, Manu with his family/writing, TP with the banging of teammate's wives + Taco Bell $5 Big Boxes.....

It's great to see that they'll be able to enjoy life when their careers are over tbh.

got to love Pop, thanks for sharing. I am tempted to buy that book.

The author is Chad Hennings. For those too young to remember, Hennings played professional football for the Dallas Cowboys back in the Troy Aikman Super Bowl years. He was actually quite good and earned 3 rings. I'll never forget that the dude flew an A-10 Tank Buster jet. How the hell did he ever fit in that thing?

That was great. Inspiring, too.

I have an aversion to buying books "written" by jocks.

Cant stand radio sports shows with jocks continuously referring to their sport's life and applying it to the sports topic of the day. (Antonio Daniels and Dat Nguyen here in SA...awful IMO)

A biography on Popovich written by a real author, I would buy that.

This is what got Stephen Jackson blackballed

Thanks for the read! I couldn't help but laugh at Pop's quote when he was talking about the obstacle course and said ,"We had Tony Parker falling in the water. Tim Duncan’s going over every obstacle..."

Great Read!

I knew that name sounded familiar. I wasn't into NFL back then. I was only just learning about the game. Chad Hennings seems like a good guy.

tbh no need to read tons of books about leadership just read Pop's stuff and watch him... with that you have all you need to know about leadership management

A really good read. Thank you!
A few guys on this board could learn a few things from Pop about how to speak correctly and how to express their feelings without using four letter words.

Me, too. Or an autobiography but we know Pop isn't the kind of guy who writes one.

Now if only a lot of SpursTalk folks also "Got over themselves"!!

[Spur|n|Austin]

Terrific read, thanks for sharing.

[boutons_deux]

so duncan has a non-working leg?

yeesh

it's been bad for years. I remember it just "quitting" on him in an @DAL game. tendinosis, IIRC, often chronic

[jsandiego]

I would love for Pop & RC to write a book on organizational development the ones that should are the ones that never do...
