TD Retirement Press Conference - 1:00PM CST (9PM Riga Time)

[Spur|n|Austin]

Anybody know where this can be streamed? Not seeing anything on spurs.com, at least not yet.

[Ron Swanson]

Jabari Young tweeted that it was moved to 3:00 PM CT

[-21-]

What if Pop announces he's gonna retire as well? :lol

How shitty is that!

[houston spurs fan]

Why not just call it off and do it together with Timmy later in the week? Pop trying to steal his thunder one last time smh
Has Tim's been confirmed?

[TheGreatYacht]

Has Tim's been confirmed?
Woj said later in the week, yes

Totally unacceptable the press conference isn't streamed. 100% unacceptable in this day and age.

Good find!:toast

[LakerHater]

Never mind, Spurs (https://twitter.com/hashtag/Spurs?src=hash) say no live video. Sorry folks. But we will have video, stories and photos afterwards.

[TheGreatYacht]

Spurs said no live video

[BillMc]

Cheers for the Riga Time, OP! :toast Davis Bertans and I both thank you.

[TDfan2007]

They're declining live video because it'll probably be emotional for everyone. Pop probably doesn't want people seeing him cry on live TV

[Spur|n|Austin]

They're declining live video because it'll probably be emotional for everyone. Pop probably doesn't want people seeing him cry on live TV

I'm assuming that we can possibly watch some if not all the video later?

[Silver&Black]

Would put it in Gwen real quick.

No Doubt.

[Obstructed_View]

Twoooooo minutes! Two minutes! /stan

[Keepin' it real]

All joking aside, they're not serious about not televising the press conference, right?

I mean, if the Cowboys could televise Roger Staubach's retirement press conference back in the day, the Spurs can televise Timmy's retirement, too. It'll be tough, but we need to witness it to have closure as Spurs fans.

[Obstructed_View]

This is a streaming text thing, right?

[biziofromdowntown]

Hail to the king

[Obstructed_View]

So what is the EN going to do? Just post an article about it after the fact? What was the countdown thing for?

[Darius Bieber]

This is a streaming text thing, right?

Yep - no video.

[Obstructed_View]

And they had a countdown timer set to go off ten minutes early. This is lame. I'd rather watch old Duncan titles on NBATV.

[TheGoldStandard]

That's some bullshit if they don't show it..

[NikosChelsea7]

[mclinejr]

Countdown is up. Nothing.

[Obstructed_View]

This was probably in Timmy's contract.

[Keepin' it real]

Oh well, back to El Gordo y la Flaca ...

[SPURt]

This is butt. We the fans are the reason these guys make crazy money and when the entire Spurs fan base is grieving the loss of Tim Pop isn't going to allow us in?

Timmy probably didn't want to tell anyone. He just wouldn't show up next season and figure everyone would know he was done.

[marinoman]

Well this is lame, it's just reporter tweets

[LakerHater]

"Impossible is potential"

[Obstructed_View]

Timmy probably didn't want to tell anyone. He just wouldn't show up next season and figure everyone would know he was done.

I always pictured the last scene in Good Will Hunting. Someone should do a video of Tony Parker climbing into the front seat.

[SPURt]

"Impossible is potential"

I guess Pop found his rallying cry for the year

[gameFACE]

https://images.scribblelive.com/2016/7/12/a1234e11-d725-42b1-80f7-00efeae83c75.jpg

[BillMc]

Is the whole thing going to be up anywhere?

[TheGoldStandard]

Such a dick move not to just air this or stream it on Spurs.com

All these snippets are annoying as fuck..

[Spur|n|Austin]

Feels like TD died or something, it's weird.

[NikosChelsea7]

752966843380346880

[BillMc]

752964995105730560

Only Pop would bring up Bill Buckley and Gore Vadal at a Duncan retirement conference. :lol

[houston spurs fan]

752966843380346880
TP thinks he's that guy...

[peacemaker885]

The full quote:

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” -- Muhammad Ali #ThankYouTD

[NikosChelsea7]

Only Pop would bring up Bill Buckley and Gore Vadal at a Duncan retirement conference. :lol

752969239984676864

[K...]

So this is just a way to get new quotes into the late editions of the big articles. Basically a press release.

[Obstructed_View]

Feels like TD died or something, it's weird.

Every time I start to feel sad, I realize that he's five years younger than I am and has millions of dollars and a lot of free time.

[NikosChelsea7]

752974156757544960

Seriously. The fact that we haven't seen even a quote from Timmy is just fucking odd.

Think he's on vacation with Vanessa.. probably comes back at the end of the week and will address it.

Exactly, I know Tim is Tim but come on now, he couldn't atleast said anything to the fans that beloved him over 19 years. Just a sentence lol.

[From Downtown]

Pop really got emotional during this

[Keepin' it real]

TP thinks he's that guy...

He's one of them.

[FkLA]

Just watched all the clips on the Twitters. Fuuuck. :cry

[-21-]

You could see Pop was dying inside, he was trying hard to keep it together. Watching those clips made me tear up a little...

[loveforthegame]

Man. It was hard watching Pop get emotional like that.

[houston spurs fan]

Pop really got emotional during this
This is more emotion than we have ever seen from him. You can feel how much Tim means to him in these clips. Wouldn't be surprised if he went and wept privately after he walked off the court. He basically (and many others) owe their whole career to TD...

[biziofromdowntown]

Damn, I'm really worried for Pop right now. I can't figure how he'll be able to coach next season.

[BatManu20]

752976140894023680

:cry

[TheGoldStandard]

Pop realizes the party is over.. Always had that quiet voice on the court to reign in players when they were getting outside of themselves.. The relationships you develop and the reliability you have on the greatest player the organization has ever had.. Basically waking up every morning and seeing your best friend at work and knowing he won't be there anymore to help lead the troops.. Very sad interview, great sentiments and words and incredibly human, none of those snarky comments.

Id love to see Tim come back as a Bigs coach and help these guys actually learn good footwork and mechanics

[BatManu20]

Boss.

Yes. I have read everything written I can find and the 2 best pieces I have found are Gay's and Kevin Arnovitz from ESPN.com. If you read nothing else, those are the 2 imo....Thank you TD

Woj bomb fail? Wow.. Thanks.

Guess we'll just have to tune into the stream tomorrow

[Old School 44]

Think he's on vacation with Vanessa.. probably comes back at the end of the week and will address it.
Yep...or helping her at SA Missions games. I went to a game a few weeks ago, didn't realize she is the entertainment announcer for all the fan games they play between innings. Tim's a lucky man!

[cd98]

I respect Tim's "over himself" approach, but he needs to say goodbye to the fans that have supported him his entire career to give closure. Every athlete retires at some point. An exit interview is the way to go. To be honest, he should show up to the first game of the season so fans can honor him. I get this stuff is not him, but do it for the fans.

[Drom John]

753006844155686912

[DMC]

Seriously. The fact that we haven't seen even a quote from Timmy is just fucking odd.
It's really not odd. Tim is retired, doesn't have to say anything and elects not to. First time in his adult life he can avoid talking to the press without incurring a fine.

[Budkin]

Come on, not even a thanks to the fans or to San Antonio?More like a your welcome.

[james evans]

for people mad about duncan not receiving Kobe press, you guys claim to be spurs fans and in 19 years still haven't figured out that Duncan hates the press?

[DMC]

Come on, not even a thanks to the fans or to San Antonio?

I don't think he's leaving. He can thank them when they raise his jersey.

I don't think Tim does social media so he'd have to be here to do it and he's on vacation. For once he can forget about basketball for the summer.

he'll likely say something at the first home game or at jersey ceremony- jesus what a man. i envy you all for having this guy as the cornerstone of the franchise. it certainly feels good seeing the warriors this relevant again, but give me the rich culture you guys established over two decades anyday. so much more to feel proud about. feels weird say it, but go spurs go.

This is the very article quoted by Coach Pop, a great read:

[TDomination]

Vanessa Macias says Duncan will be interviewed tomorrow at 12pm Central by his friend Rash Clenance on Vivid Streaming (virgin island radio)

Pop talked about Timmy playing a role in the Spurs organization. Hopefully he takes the job vacated by Chad Forcier.
