So I'm flipping through the channels, only to find Stern on espnews doing his annual state of the union at the finals. There's been alot of news (shady or otherwise) made this year in the N.B.A., so I figured I'd check it out.
So Stern opens the conference up for questioning, and my favorite invertebrate (John Hollinger) steps up to the mic.
Hollinger- "Are you concerned with teams not being able to sign draft picks
abroad because of the disparity between the rookie pay-scale and
what their current clubs can now offer?"
looking perplexed:
a.) Because the question came out of left field or
b.) Seeing an invertebrate being able to sit in a
chair without falling out)
Stern- " No. I'm not sure why you'd ask. Surely you must be making a
generalization"
Hollinger- " Well... Uhm.. You know, the Splitter situation with San Antonio"
Stern deflected or honestly wasn't up to speed on what was going on. Saying that, he enjoyed watching Splitter play over the summer and that the Spurs probably wanted Splitter to stay.
Hollinger either not knowing the facts, (shocking... I know.) or being all the invertebate he could be, never pressed the issue for fear of anything coming off as combative.
I personally can't wait to read Hollingers column on the Splitter situation, if for no other reason, I'll be able to print it out and have something to wipe my ass with.
So here's to SpursTalk :toast and it being the best place to find information (locally or nationally) on the Spurs and the N.B.A.
And here's to Hollinger :toast for being all the tool he can be, and giving me something to do to pass the time.
