That last one is a great one, but it has to be heard in context and you have to see his facial expression. On paper it's not that great.
some are really funny and didn't see posted
“You have to make shots to win basketball games and we didn't do that. You also have to get back on defense, so it was a double-whammy.”
“Eliminating back-to-backs when you go in the wrong direction and lose time and go to bed at 4 in the morning for the second game is very difficult for teams, as we have learned. You just can't bring the juice for 48 minutes. It shows in the discipline on the court and the execution on the court. If it was possible to change the entire schedule for everybody to have fewer of those, the quality would improve, without a doubt.”
“We didn't send mariachi bands or birthday cards or breakfast in bed.”
“And I look forward to seeing all of you in four or five years when we have the next Nellie retirement party in another town.”
“We suck on 'D. Both individually and team-wise, we suck. We're pretty consistent that way. I don't know if I have an answer to that. If I did, we wouldn't suck quite so bad.”
“I asked them if it wasn't too much trouble, if I wasn't being too pushy, if they could execute what we were trying to do. And if it didn't make them too angry, if they also wanted to play some defense on the other end, that would be great.”
“When I came down to St. Croix to see Timmy eight or nine years ago, nobody said a word to me (about driving on the left side), ... I got my rental car and I went out on the road, and I was gesticulating at like 10 people before I realized I was the jerk.”
“In Phil's case, I was personally thrilled he came back, because I think it's huge for the league. When you think about what he's done and how many championships he's won, there's always drama when he comes back in.”
“He found a realtor, looked at homes, bought one and furnished it, got a mortgage and the whole deal, ... Did it all when he was 19. I don't know if I could find my way out of town."
“We would have two less championships here if it was not for Manu Ginobili. In my eyes, he’s the stud of the world”
The famous: "He's Manu Ginobili" is missing, the greatest ?

Ha ha.. I am imagining Pop in a rental car in the Caribbean
Dont remember the exact quote, but...
Pop- The next person to miss a free throw is buying me a car..
Timmy- What color do you want?
This is more of a Timmy quote but I liked it:
Back in 08-09, the Heat were in town. Manu and Parker were hurt. Pop used a lineup that had Anthony Tolliver, Desmon Farmer, a rookie George Hill, and Tim Duncan. During a timeout, Pop says:
Pop: Who are all you guys?
Timmy: I'm Tim Duncan. I've been playing here for the last 12 years.
Great coach. Just not that quotable (probably by design).
I remember that great stuff
funny there hehe
after drafting george hill pop was asked whats in store and to expect from hill and then after couple more question it came to where he answered somewhere that tony wanted to get the likes of michael beastly and he told TP to get more chicken salad or something ... anybody remembered that quote?
Yes.

:Go get some more chicken"
hahaha. I know one ST'er has the qoute in there sig about the 1st Players buying POP a car if they miss a free throw. Timmy then said "what color do you want?"
Man I love this team.
keep the quotes coming. These are funny
Pop's classic deadpan. I would think the Spurs should have lots of British fans with Pop's dry sense of humor, but they like their stupid footy too much over there.
Y'all ever get the feeling that Pop just wants to slap those reporters in the head???
I remember an interview where Pop wiped his snot on Craig Sager's tie.
What was he talking about here? I don't remember this one..“We didn't send mariachi bands or birthday cards or breakfast in bed.”
Luring Finley...
Here's a link to the Monroe article: link
ever???
"Tony, I don't have time to explain these things. Go get some more chicken"Yes.

thanks kool hahaha so funny
Nice list and posts, thanks Brazil and other posters.
I agree with y'all about the "He's Manu Ginobili" deadpan, but I think only Spurs fans would get it. Thanks for posting it, carina - it always makes me laugh out loud. Pop often s with Bucher who is King of the Obvious Question.
Pop is so dry and sarcastic in answer to stupid, repe ive, annoying questions, and makes no bones about it that he holds the entire "interview" process in complete disdain. Good on him. Screw those wannabe journalists and their bull questions. He and Phil both treat it with the utter lack of respect it deserves. I'm not saying media interviews don't have a place in the NBA, just that there are far too many of them at inappropriate times when really, there's not much to say (or it's the commentators who should be doing the analysis), and it's clear Pop and Phil feel that way too.
Here some new ones:
“The guy hasn't played in five months or something like that. We're not just going to throw that guy in there just because he's a scorer. ... It's not like I'm going home and beating my head against the wall about how I'm going to get him in the rotation.”
“I'm not one to blow smoke at my players. They kicked our butts on the offensive boards. And it's not just because the ball came their way.”
this one is great:
“It took him almost the whole game to feel comfortable with his shot. He had to hit the bathroom about seven or eight times during the game. We tried not to play him too many minutes in a row, tried to pace him in between bathroom runs.”
You mean "ever" like in "always"...
And here is the Tony-Chicken-Clip embedded:
Pop is the Greatest!
george hill & goran dragic...pretty good draft
