win or lose? what are you talking about? win or win! we should win this one..duh!
Win or lose over the next two games, the story of the Spurs over the last 16 years would make an epic sports and human character movie.
And Ed Asner should play Popovich. LOL!!
Who would play everybody else?

This has to be the dumbest thing I've read on this site.
You don't read your own posts, Larry?
Then you haven't read many threads.
No, He's right. It's dumb.
Of course it's a no-bainer that Matthew Modine would play the role of Cherokee Parks.
I can see Daniel Day Lewis as Manu
No, actually it's an interesting topic. I guess some folks on here are just too cool for the rest of us......
That really would be funny, wouldn't it?I can see Daniel Day Lewis as Manu
I think Pop will write a book one day and we will find out there was a lot more behind the scenes drama than we thought.
I remember being at a Christmas party in 2001 at a Doctor friends house. Another doctor (not my friend) was very loudly going on and on about how the Spurs window was closing and how bad they sucked, they were slow, not athletic, etc. I couldn't stand it and called his ass out. I told him they had this guy stashed in Europe I'd watched film on named Manu Gonobili that was gonna be a real game changer for the Spurs....and they won the championship the next year.
Pop would NEVER write a tell all book and throw players under the bus like Phil Jackson did.
What would possibly make you think that?
I've always said a movie should be made about the Spurs run. They can make a film about Oakland A's, they can make a movie about The Spurs.
Gotta win first.
You made this thread worthwhile!I can see Daniel Day Lewis as Manu
Pop seems like a guy that will sit in his vineyard and sip some wine while he is reflecting on the past. He will probably want to write a book about how the Spurs affected his life. It will be a while before he writes the book though.
I vote Walken as Pop. You need someone who can convey the awkward tension of his in game interviews with an underlying sense that he might murder the reporter at any time. Possibly Kevin Spacey. Or Spacey doing his Walken impersonation while playing Pop.
Daniel Day Lewis would be a great Manu, but that's the sort of role that I see Hollywood rewriting as a zany foreigner comic relief. Best case scenario Jim Carrey rechanneling Andy Kaufman as Latka. Worse case scenario Rob Schneider. "Manu, I can't keep bailing you out of jail. What the were you even doing with a gun at The Quarry?!?!"
"Couch Cheep tell me prahkteez shooting zee ruck!"
David Robinson. Between the piety and being seen as a wisened mentor to young Timmy I fear The Admiral is destined to be rewritten as a Magical Negro of the highest order. I picture a scene set at the ATT center a few days after the championship win. Tim Duncan steps out on the court after clearing his locker out for the summer and finds Robinson standing at center court at attention, gazing up into the rafters.
"Dave, I wanted to talk to you before you left. Just my good luck."
"There's no good luck in this world, Tim. Only the good that people do with it."
"Right. Well, I just wanted to say thanks. You've helped me so much these last five years. I'd never tell Pop or the rest of the guys this, but I don't know how I'll do this without you."
"Don't you see, Timothy? You already have. My job was only to bring you here. The rest was up to you."
"Wait, what do you mean your j-"
*A bright flash of light blinds Tim, and as his vision returns he finds himself alone on the court. Frantically he looks around for any sign of the man he was just speaking to. As he makes one last slow turn around the empty arena his eyes finally lock on the same spot in the rafters where David had been staring so intently. In the rafters is the jersey of his friend. His mentor. #50. Robinson. 1989-...1997*
(History gets the rewrite here, as the Spurs got the #1 pick after the death of David Robinson. With the 96-97 season off to a shaky start, following yet another loss to the hated Jazz a drunk and despondent Pop sets fire to the Alamodome. The Admiral, defying his coach's drunken demands to let him burn, throws his coach over his shoulder and tosses Pop to safety moments before being consumed under an avalanche of flaming debris. Pop, wracked with guilt, vows to never have a center on his team again. The Spurs win the 99 and 03 championships playing 4 on 5. Pop is finally able to let go of his past and start playing 5 on 5 again, but out of his own private fear of losing Tim like the last one, he never allows Tim to be classified as the center.)
Bwahahahahaaha!
Ok, you are officially scary at this. Please, never use this talent for evil.
We got our guy for when year 2004 comes into action for the movie.
WILL SMITH as BIG SHOT ROB
