Very good interview, very relaxed and playful, but still with good questions.

That was awesome
Thanks for that, OP.
Great interview, kudos to McDonald for the best work he's done that I've read.
Those guys really love each other, as it should be. And the Tim-Manu interplay is hilarious as usual. Great stuff.
Like them, 2005 is definitely my favourite Spurs championship. That one was a nail-biter all the way through.

Props to McDonald and Monroe.

Jeff, that was a great interview. Awesome job. Your best yet.
I think McDonald did a good job last season writing the daily reports, much better than his beginning. The thing that bothers me is he has no sources. We need Yahoo, ESPN, CBS to give us scoops.
Monroe is bad, and I liked him a lot when he was with Fox website but since Ludden left Monroe got worst and worst
Apart from the question re: favorite championship run, everything was pretty much tongue in cheek, which made for a great read, but sometimes I wish they had replied a bit more seriously. On the other hand there's some hidden truth in there, like when Manu said "we could have won a championship in each of our first 6 seasons together", implying that in the last couple of years they weren't really believing in it?
Fun interview. I hope there's a video of it.
More like great chat by the Big Three, with McDonald in the room.
Oh, and the mandatory McDonald article wrong fact? DRob had two seasons left in 2001, not one. He signed a two year deal that summer for somewhere between $20-22M, IIRC.
TD: “It's a conspiracy theory.”

Great interview...
Manu: ``when I got here, you knew-this is the guy.''
TD: ``with French boy, it was about him being, whatever, 13 years old..."
nice!
my favorite part though was this-very telling of the impact Bruce had - IMO
TD: I think luckily we went through a process with him (MG) on the practice squad where Bruce just beat the crap out of him for a couple of weeks. We learned to respect him along those lines before we ever had to play with him on the floor.
...good read.
Great stuff, wished it was filmed too!
I think I've been as hard as anybody on McDonald, so props to him (and Monroe) for this interview - good stuff.![]()
Great stuff. Awesome interview.
Props to McDonald and Monroe - M&M.
Really good stuff. Regardless of what happens this season or within the next few, I hope Spurs fans take a moment to reflect and appreciate what this trio of players has done for the city, and enjoy it while it still lasts.
I always said this and you guys I know I have but now that TP says it, you know I'm right.
TP: “I always say if we did what we did in New York, we'd be gods right now.”
Where do you think the three of you should be regarded among the great trios in NBA history?
TP: “Yeah, that's a GREAT question, because I'm watching the game last night (Miami's Big Three had played its preseason opener the night before) and it shows all the best Big Threes — Chicago, Boston, the Lakers. After that, there's a hole and it goes straight to Miami. I don't know why they never put us on that list. It's not like it's gonna bother me, because I have the rings and I'll sleep well at night. But they just don't want to put us up there.”
TD: “That's how it always is. Even in the midst of us winning championships every other year, every year we started we'd be like the No. 5 team on the list to win it. That's the way it is in San Antonio, for whatever reason. We don't get that respect.”
TP: “I always say if we did what we did in New York, we'd be gods right now.”
TD: “It would be crazy.”
TP: “I think the fact that me and Manu are international players, I don't think we get the same respect. Because we're not from America, I think that's why we're not considered up there with the Bostons, or the Lakers or Chicago.”
TD: “It's a conspiracy theory.”
New York?!?!! More Tony Park trade rumor threads!![]()
Monroe picked Bonner to be NBA 6th Man of the Year
Factual errors are Monroe's specialty.
Great interview![]()
