Sean was great last night. The mention of Rose was very ballsy. I am glad he said it!!
I think AJ's number should be retired.... But only one of them.The whole ceremony was very moving, and of course classy. I expected no less from the organization. San Antonio really does have the best fans in the world.
Sounds to me that they must have forgot to cut off the beer sales at the proper time.Quote:

I think when all is said and done, they need to name the arena or a street after Pop, because he was a huge part of putting the franchise on the map
How about naming a soft drink after him?

When pop retires, itll be quiet, without fanfare, and without a retirement ceremony.
Fans will be ok with it too, the stupid fans in this town are still pissed at him for Bob HIll, Malik Rose, and whatever else.
Pop had nothing to do with Rose's trade. It was all front office.
Popatop? :lolQuote:

Once again Jim, thats not ME thinking that, its the all intelligent Spurs fans in san antonio that think that.
I would say, Pop reluctantly agreed.
But to make my point, has Pop ever ever made a trade in midseason?
No, especially a team that is #1 in the league and relies of team chemistry perhaps more than any championship team in the history of bball.
Taking a chance to hurt team chemistry is a huge gamble and nobody can ever say that Pop is considered a gambling man, am I right?
Pop isn't a gamling man, but, he saw the benefits of the trade outweighed the negatives.
Back to Sean.
Im amazed he didn't start ballin..
Also, cool comments by him about Pop and Peter Holt.
Maybe those comments could shed some light on how nice of guys those guys are.
Whoever it was on a previous thread that said they would probably play "simply the best" last night....Nailed it!!!!
They play that at every retirement ceremony. I was at DRob's and they played it then.Quote:

I agree, if the Spurs hang his jersey up, it's "Katy Bar the Door!" Everyone's jersey will be up there
they played his taco cabana commercial....so i was satisfied....missed having malik at the ceremony though.....Good to have #32 up there....he deserved it, and so does avery.
Having the TC commercial played was fucking classic.
The crowd kept asking him to say it, but alas, Sean did not want to.
My favorite Sean TC commercial was the radio ad he did right after returning from Detroit.
"What was the worst part of being in Detroit? The cold? The snow? The people? No...THEY HAD NO TACO CABANAS!" :lol
Thought it was solid of both Tony and Manu to wear #32 jerseys to the ceremony. Neither played with Sean, but both respected the man and the event by wearing his jersey.
It seems to me that they both get it.
Got a link Johnny?Quote:

Count me in as one who believes Avery's number shouldn't be hanging, just an opinion.Quote:

I was just trying to say that I'm not an AJ-lover. I just don't have much attachment to the players that were here prior to me really liking the Spurs.

Not really related to the current conversation, but this is a very nice picture. I was there when they were taking these pictures at halftime. It was great to be in the room with these five, along with Kerr, Peter Holt, Governor Perry, etc.
