i concur...it was painful listening to him
he seemed scared, but hes a rookie. what do you expect?
ill admit, it was rough to listen to and sit through.

thank god RC was there to carry most of the load.
Very similar to a Hedo Turkoglu interview.
RC Buford and those giant chicklets of his crack me up. I can get my dog to look like that when I push her upper lip up, exposing her teeth. It stays for a while too. Makes her look vicious.
Is RC wearing pink glasses ?
Agreed about Anderson's responses too. What's OSU's graduation rate ? Dude is not very articulate. Hope he's a player.
Wow, he took us back to the old boring Spurs in this interview, we'll never hear the end of this if he get more interviews through the course of the season. He is very "poker" face in expressions and demeanor. I look forward to him joining the team, at worse he could be Mitch Richmond who I thought would have been great in a Spurs uniform back in the 1996 and 97 up years.
He doesn't seem like the brightest guy. Hope he works out and can contribute this year.
Was that his mom at the end or what?![]()
He doesn't seem to be the smartest guy, i wonder how well he will deal with Pop's playbook.
Wow, he was so boring.
He'll fit right in.![]()
He isn't that good with the media. There were some interviews on youtube that he really screwed up as well.
Boring... spurs material, does he suck at the FT line ?
Seemed like he was kind of nervous/tired but he also seems to"LOL" easily but I suppose I would too if I was a rookie sitting with my GM.

if he plays anything like Richmond I'd be stoked!![]()
Damn give the dude a ing break. Not everyone knows how to act like an instant ing celebrity in front of the camera lol. He wasn't any worse then Hill and Blair when they spoke. Public speaking is rated as the number one fear for a reason lol. Try it sometime. I'm sure the guy didn't want to put any unneeded expectations on himself. Probably why he stuck to the "i'm just gonna work hard" line lol.
Seems like down to earth guy, which fits spurs perfectly.
It also sounded like a Duncan interview, they both love the word "uh"
Don't confuse the fact that he's not great with the media and clearly shy for him being stupid. I'm not saying he's a genius, but I don't get the sense that he's a fool either.
That being said, that was extremely boring. The only semi-entertaining part was watching how long Buford would hold his goofy smile while Anderson answered each question.
must be a fan of steve kerr since he has no job
This. Those saying otherwise are stupid.
Give the kid a break he’s just had a whirlwind week, currently surrounded by people he has only just met and media attention he hasn’t have to deal with before.
I’m sure with time he’ll open up and become better at these sorts of things.

James is a member of the Big 12 All Academic First Team.... he's not stupid by any means.
He's just a low key guy from a small town of less than 1,000 people.... and he played his college ball in Stillwater, OK... not the most glamorous, spotlighted place to be. I could careless how he comes off in the media as long as he brings his game, but I'm sure once he gets comfortable with the usual suspects in the media, and with being an NBA player, he'll loosen up considerably.
Hopefully he remains more "loyal" than the last Anderson when his contract is up.
