KSAT news and sports at 12:50 showed some video. Malik Hairston is wearing #1....so I guess he's on board with the Spurs.
It's nice to see the Spurs season finally getting underway! Media Day is this afternoon at the Spurs' Practice Facility.
Feel free to post pics and comments here.

Sorry I didn't go because I'm working on a project. I'm sure we'll see a bunch of photos/video online soon.
That means he's #1 in both our program as well as our hearts. Also, #1 candidate for deployment for D-League duty.
I'm so glad it's finally here. What a long summer this was. I'm so ready for the season to tip.
I haven't found any pics yet, I've even checked for the team and not just Duncan.
I hope Ian can come back soon.
will Manu attend in one leg?
I remember when this day used to feel like Christmas to me.
I miss that feeling.
Welcome home Spurs.
Not nice.
ARRIBA SPURS
have you lost that lovin feelin, Angel?
Not lost it completely. I just need a good Spurs sighting and/or signing to rekindle it all.

I would be at the Luby's by now...
Now, now... just because our team is old doesn't mean they eat at Luby's.
Or does it?
I mentioned Luby's because it's a good place to go eat at and depending on where you sit, you may be able to see some of the Spurs drive off from the practice facility parking lot.Now, now... just because our team is old doesn't mean they eat at Luby's.
Or does it?
Noted. Thanks.
Some audio interviews :

Thank you Bruno.
Duncan said he's been working with the new guys the past month or two. Can't get a much better way to break into the system than working with the Captain of the team.
So we have 19 guys in camp and 6 fighting for 2 spots
Gregg Popovich was sporting a beard and Manu Ginobili was smiling and walking without a limp.

How many media guys show up for this?
Kori would know for sure. I know the local guys are there, and NBAE handles some of the pics, so some of them are there.
Pop said that Mason was the second option behind Maggette. He has high expectations about him and thinks that he will play a big role with SPurs this year.
Mahinmi will have a MRI today and Pop wasn't really optimistic about him. I wouldn't be surprised to see him missing the whole training camp and starting the season at the deep end of the bench.
Just got back. My 1st Media Day with the Spurs.
Intial Thoughts...
Players
Manu was a good interview. Didn't seem to be limping around. Talked about itching and ready to play. Thinks it will be about another 7 weeks until he can make a final assessment.
Roger Mason. Very impressed. Really came across as cool, and happy to be a Spur. Talked about how excited he was for today at the start of camp. He said he woke up at 6 this morning, like it was his first day at school. Really prepared hard this year because with the Manu injury, knows it's his big chance.
Tim Duncan. Typical Tim. Good light hearted interview. I asked him about Hazing the new guys and he said he couldn't wait. Also, talked about Pop's beard and how scary it is. Overall just excited for the season to finally get underway.
POP.....In a very good mood. Joked around pretty good. I asked him how quiet the ride home from the airport was when he picked up Manu. He said it was really quiet, and finally they started talking politics. Wants to keep camp fresh for everyone, and is planning on running different practice schedule this year to keep everyone on their toes.
Best quote.....Pop regarding the beard..."Whatever Timmy wants me to do, I'll do. If he wants me to shave, it's shaved, if he wants me to grow it out, I'll do it. What he says goes"
Worst Question I heard....."Pop, is this a big year for Tony Parker to finally step up and become one of the best PG's in the league".......Pop went Pop on him and said..."3 Championships, 1 Finals MVP, I think Tony is already among the elite" then proceeded to stare him down for 10 seconds of dead silence.
All the media guys were there. Don Harris, David Sears, Greg Simmons, saw Duel and Minnix, and ran into a couple of the Express-News writers, (Finger, Monroe, and McDonald?)
Overall, a cool thing. What I found funny was how certain members of the media are VERY elitest. Reminded me of the high school dance, where everyone is in their corner and not really talking to everyone else.
Mike will have alot of the interviews I think on his show this afternoon
Interesting that Manu said 8-12 weeks, that would put him end of November at the latest.
Thank you so much for the detailed info. I really appreciate it.
