Nice little piece on Blair from his hometown paper.
One of the best articles I've read in a while, good find..although the "Mr and Ms" stuff got annoying after a while..
Blair seems like a great guy, took care of his family right when he got paid, which is always the best thing to do, family comes first..he also seems to really admire Duncan and Parker which is great..
One of the few bright spots we've had this season..

So I can't take 100% credit.
Good find.
Nice piece. Love the relationship he's building with Duncan.
Sounds like a student wrote this. Good read none the less.
He's made a lot of Spurs fans forget about Scola thats for sure.
Yeah, the Mr. and Ms. went a little overkill, but I enjoyed the piece overall..
The guy's got a hell of a future if those knees hold up; the guy won't be 21 until next spring..
Great read
Shhh....All-Star game voting is just about over.Quote:
Mr. Blair, 20, is currently the starting power forward for the San Antonio Spurs
Excellent article.
:lol he is renting Parker's old home or something? I know TP built a new one.
Anyway, nice article!
Great stuff. We all knew that the Spurs stars were supportive and nurturing toward rookies and other young players that come into the system, but it's great to hear the individual stories. It would be a lot of fun to go to a dinner with DeJuan, Tony, and Eva.
Funny that he looks up to Parker. TP is completely blind to him on the PnR. He ignored him when he was wide open in the lane at least 3 times last night when the Spurs were struggling for points. Thank God Pop pulled Parker for the last few minutes.
He's lucky, he got drafted by a wonderful team, he is doing great, everybody loves him, he has 2 awesome mentors, he lives in Tony's and Eva's house and Eva cooks for him, damn, I wish I was in his place :lol
Uh, he lives in and rents Tony's OLD house, not the new custom one he had built for himself and Eva. Ms. Longoria-Parker ain't cooking his meals.Quote:

Ugh. Sucks to think. Hopefully he at least gets a few good years of run.Quote:
While his knees are sore
Great Article.
Especially the Tim part, if he can teach him some of his post moves or his bank shot, he'll be an even better player.
:tu
I seriously doubt that she's cooking her own either. :lolQuote:

Hes not tall hes only like 6'6":rolleyes
Good read, Blair is out-earning his contract already. It was cool to get insight into his life. Great kid, hope he is a Spur for a long time.
Eva's Mexican, of course she can cook. (I'm not being racist so don't bother calling me racist because I'm also Mexican.)
Does Eva know how to make pozole?
A great great read... Props to the author!
Uncredible how lucky we are to get Blair and unreal what a great situation he got himself into... This article resembles a fairy tale.
Nice article. I enjoyed reading about the relationship he has with Parker and Duncan.
Good read, thanks!
Great write-up. Thanks for finding it, Eric. Blair is a special person and player and once again we find a rookie that fits with our longstanding good guy image. Now if some of his enthusiasm can rub off onto a few of our players we might have a chance. Not to be specific but, RJ & Dice, you know whom I am talking about. It is past time for you two money grabbers to start giving a little effort. Not so much that it might tire you two but, damn, show us something! Spend time watching Blair and Timmy. At least that is doing something!Quote:
