Thanks for the 2014 championship Boris. While Timmy Duncan was epic in OT in game 6 in OKC and Kiwi had a terrific clutch block on westbrook and all... Boris had one of the most impressive games of his career (granted I watched him for only a portion of said career) in that game 6 and had over 20 points... Amazing talent but laissez faire... Still a very, very interesting player personality and fun to watch. He was enjoyable when he was having a good game.

Thanks:bobo Borisssssssssssssssss

[exstatic]

When he was engaged and locked in, he was scary for opponents, because he had such a broad skill set to deploy. Unfortunately, that was far from often. He infuriated fanbases everywhere he played, causing PHO fans to refer to him as Doris Meow. The closest analogy that I can find was Bison Dele, another very talented player who had basketball about 5th on his list of interests.

[timtonymanu]

2014 Diaw is one of my favorite players of all time. So versatile and efficient.

Bummer. Cheers to Bobo and everything he did for the Spurs :bobo

[ceperez]

Bummer... Spurs should have never traded him over signing Pau Gasol.

The consequences of his trade our still being felt.

He stopped caring after 2014. Pop tried for two seasons to re-motivate him, and nothing worked.

True. I think Boris was on the downswing anyways. HIs following seasons were not as good as 2014 and he was satisfied and happy... his hunger for the game was satiated so to speak. He still had talent tho.

I wonder, in the world of hypotheticals, if you switch out Boris with Gasol in 2014, does that team win a championship? I don't think so.

[John B]

Thank you for the 2014 Championship. Very talented and very high bball IQ. I wish we had him earlier in his career. He was one of the best passing big men. I think he had a great career and enjoyed until it lasted :bobo

[DAF86]

One of my favourite Spurs of all-time.

Can we get a big three team of Manu, Bobo and Tim?

[daslicer]

One of greatest fat guys to ever play the game.

He wasn't the same after '14. I loved the motivated Diaw, but the unmotivated version only hurt the Spurs. He was horrible for Utah the next season.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

And, yeah, one of my favorite Spurs in '13 and '14. One of the X Factors that made those teams so dangerous.

they'd tear that joke league apart

[TD 21]

When the spirit moved him, one of my all-time favorite players to watch. The '12-'14 Spurs were the best thing I've ever watched in sports and after the biggest 3, he was right there with Green for me . . . and no, I didn't leave Leonard out because of what transpired over the past year. I'd have said the same thing previous to that.

[TimmyBuckets]

Au Revoir, Boris.

:bobo

[SpurPadre]

The REAL MVP of the '14 WCF, tbh.

[TrainOfThought5]

One of my favorite spurs of all time, im gonna miss him.

[phxspurfan]

We should build a statue for him













...a golden espresso machine :spin

[baseline bum]

One of my favorite players ever. I was skeptical of the signing based on how bad he was in Charlotte but damn he was an amazing fit here. I was so impressed by his defense on LeBron in the 2013 Finals.

[boutons_deux]

remember, he came into NBA as thin PG, explains passing and seeing the court, great BB IQ

[sananspursfan21]

He made me believe in the value of bringing in “washed up” veterans. I had no clue he’d contribute the way he did. Au revoir Boris!!

[TheGreatYacht]

Thank god MVParker brought him aboard, without him we don't ring in 2014. Shitter and Bonner got credit for Diaw's monster performances. Typical racist conservative ST, per par.

[Keepin' it real]

Thank you for getting Amare to come off the bench with you at the end of game 4 in 2007. Along with Horry, the co-MVP of the series!

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

[BatManu20]

Boris 2.0 was a thing of beauty. Will always remember him for that. And for his wine dates with Pop. Incredible run we had. Thanks for 2014 Bobo! Godspeed and enjoy your retirement.

[SouthTexasRancher]

Thanks for 2014 and the Spurs Championship #5 Some great memories of that season and the Finals. Glad you were here to help us bring it back home.

:bobo Happy Trails To You, Bobo.

[DMC]

When he came into the game he was amazing. Too bad he played so long for shit teams, but that Suns team was special.

Those 2012-14 teams were really good and fun to watch, and Bobo was at the heart of them. Cheers Boris. :bobo

[Mr. Body]

This dude enjoys his life. Glad we had him for that short, glorious time.

Diaw > Lee

[sammy]

Thank you Bobo! He was instrumental in those wins during our championship! Excellent passing and would clog the paint! One of my favorites! He should never have been traded! He spoke with all of us Spurs fans waiting at the airport when they lost in 2015. For some reason, as they were exiting the airport to leave, he wasn't able to leave due to some stoppage. He was at a stopping point in front of us fans and he had his windows open on his car. Fans were talking to him and taking pictures and he talked to us. Real cool dude! He was awesome! The cop was cussing up a storm because the traffic wasn't moving smoothly and thought us fans were going to attack Bobo like we would ever hurt our players!

Have fun on your travels Bobo! Enjoy your retirement, you earned it!:bobo

[superbigtime]

Love Boris. Very entertaining to watch when he was dialed in. An extremely interesting guy, I follow him on instagram. Spurs definitely had one of the coolest guys to have ever played the game. Wish we could have had him for many, many years.

[spurraider21]

Diaw > Lee

[Geo210SpursSanAnto.]

Boris is a all time fan favorite... He should get get a mural in san antonio, just for his personality alone as a spur... His element of suprise when games would matter left you in amazement... Comes off like some older guy at the gym you would never expect a "dunk from out of nowhere!" kinda deal....

[TimDunkem]

PATFO and Bonner slurpers still contend that the Spurs lose in 2014 if Bonner didn't pull Ibaka out of the paint for one quarter in that entire series.

Never do they remember to mention, however, that this strategy had been used for years, but that choking faggot Bonner never really made teams pay when it mattered until that one game. :lol

[Spurtacular]

Harder to play with extra lbs the older you get. His skills set was still as good as it had ever been though.

Yes, but Lee was never a problem for SA. He was a contributor even past his prime.

Beloved by all Spurs fans.

i believe the spurs were after him when he was with the hawks...dunno what happen there or what pieces the POS front office didnt wanna give up to get him

[Spurtacular]

Manu fan always trolling :lol

No Parker, no rings.

That's simply not true. Take Parker away from any championship team and a championship would've been within reach.

[Stabula]

Would have loved if Fathead became the next Diaw for us

[duncan2k5]

Gotta give props to Nash and dantoni for allowing Diaw to expand his game and show his full talent... Tbh if it weren't for that, he may not have gotten that opportunity under Pop, who can be very restrictive

I really don't think Tim has the knees for it. Maybe Horry.... Not sure if he is bitter towards Manu.

I remember when we were all impressed by bobo 2.0. Dude had some great moments with his passing and timely shots. I miss that dude, he was basically an unathletic draymond

Don’t ever think Of Boris, even fat Boris, as unathletc. There was the story about the time in PHO where they were working out prospects, and checking their verticals. He asked if he could try, took off his flip flops and put down his coffee, and cleared the rack in his first attempt. If you know what a spark plug gapper is, imagine a very large one in the horizontal plane, you jump and slap at it, and whatever slats are left, you measure that height, and subtract the players height to get their vertical, either standing or run up. There were no slats left. Just because he chose rarely to dunk doesn’t mean he was unathletic. An unathletic player would have zero success checking LeBron in 2013.

[Gagnrath]

No Parker, no rings.

Avery and prime DRob with TD got us a ring, but I said rings as in plural. Should have rang in 06 but some Argentinian fouled Dirk on a layup.

[KimmyGib]

Wish he'd have retired a Spur. Great thing about 2014 was the team chemistry, with so many different guys playing so well. No superstar, just an incredible team harmony. And Boris was one of the central guys fueling that cohesion. Probably my favorite Spurs roster of all time. Duncan, Manu, Parker, Diaw, Splitter, Green, Mills, Leonard (young and uncorrupted) all gave some outstanding performances in those playoffs. Even the other guys like Cojo, Baynes, Belinelli, and Bonner had big moments. FMVP could've been Duncan, Manu, Leonard, or Diaw, tbh. Kawhi had 2 monster games which everyone remembers, but the first 2 games of that finals series he seriously under-performed.

Also this!
