Leonard and Joseph Press Conference

[k_nguyen93]

Leonard hardly smiled the whole time. Hope he doesn't leave us for his hometown Lakers..haha

Steve Fisher says hes a quiet and shy kid. Dad got murdered two years ago. Give the guy a break.

Mr Callahan,

I understood your point about Malone being dumb as a box of rocks but still good as a player. You see, like you I don't believe a super high IQ is an absolute necessity to play basketball, its mostly about instincts. Too much IQ can actual hinder a player at times IMO. But obviously, to a point a player must have a prerequisite amount of IQ in order to understand the rules of the game and certain team strategies and so forth. I was prepared to not to give Leonard's apparent lack of intellect a 2nd thought until Juggity specifically made mention of how much better his answers were than Joseph's particularily uninsightful answers, which .. given his replies I found rather puzzling so I felt compelled to make a comment on.

I know this is a big paragraph for you and is probably confusing, but maybe someday after you've passed 3rd grade reading you'll start to see the light.

Third grade spelling tbh.

When TJ starts posting purple prose, it's indicative of a possible meltdown.

[Mr. Body]

Leonard doesn't turn 20 years old until this week. The dude's 19. He's shy and humble. Listen to his videolog from Impact training on his DX page. When he doesn't have a bunch of strangers sticking mikes in his face, I'm sure he's more comfortable. As he gets older he'll get more comfortable.

The whole idea of TJ of all people questioning these two kids' intelligence is just absurdly ironic.

And Juggity is a more qualified person?

[jjktkk]

And Juggity is a more qualified person?

Absolutely.

LOL at Spurstalk posters expecting these s to be academic smart. I doubt any of the current Spurs could pass the SAT's nowadays. I once asked Manu on his forum a question if he's ever going pursue a college degree(like Bruce Bowen did) once he hangs em up, and he replied that he's never liked school and he's been an average student his whole life. Basically he told me he's a basketball savant, so school, studying, and books. And that's in Manu for you right there.

Manu is like friggin Shakespeare in comparison to these two. Lmao.

How many interviews of a 19 year old Manu have you seen?

"I have millions of dollars in the bank. Why should I bother getting a degree?"

C'mon now Chump, he's Manu Ginobili. Doesn't that answer your question?

[ChumpDumper]

No, it doesn't.

[spurs1990]

First Spurs players born in the 90's.

Where the did time go says this old-timer.

[TheChillFactor]

Cory does it feel to just come down I-35 to San Antonio?

Um, it sucked, I ran into some construction near Buda, Thankfully I was able to stop off at Aquarena Springs and check out Ralph the Swimming Pig...

[timtonymanu]

Interview felt a little too short, IMO. Hopefully we'll get some pictures of them wearing their jerseys.

[Waps1980]

God there are some tools in here.

The guys have just been on a roller coaster trip, now they have all this press to deal with something they'd not be used to to this degree, Hill, Blair and Anderson were all the same.

Just let their game do the talking.

For me I can't wait to see Leonard and Anderson find their way on the floor together, for Parker to have a PG under his wing.

Leonard may even bring RJs game back as they will be head to head for court time or even SF starting spot.
Exciting times for the Spurs I think!!!

Considering they flew him in from Toronto, the only construction he hit was on 410.

[Ice009]

Isn't TJastal the same guy that was going on about Roger Mason Jr. being a great player that should have played more after he left?

If so we can all just put him on ignore.

[Cessation]

They were both clearly nervous, not much you can take away from that interview. Though, lenard seems to be more focused.

[GSH]

Q: Why don't you talk a little about your game, what your strengths are, and what you bring to this team?

Khawi: Um,.. I'm just bring my hard work, and... whatever the coach, coach Popovich wants me to do I'm gonna do.."

lol insightful

Is it some kind of goal for you to be the biggest on every single thread?

The kid is well-spoken. He's still a kid, but he's obviously sharp. I'd love to see your dumb ass in front of a bunch of reporters, and every little "Ummm" and "Duuhh" you utter getting recorded.

LeBron had handlers to coach him in advance of all his interviews. And he still said some stupid . Give the kid a break.

Oh, and flame away. I'm not even going to bother reading your dumb ing responses anymore. You are seriously working on being the lowest common denominator on the entire forum. I'm sure you won't disappoint this time.

[HankChinaski]

At what point did you start talking how this trade could potential impact this team overall with the upcoming season to seasons to follow and how it effects them long term poorly as well?

All i've read from TJastal so far is him arguing over semantics about how a poster phrased a comment. Just really annoying to sit through and read the same post spat out back at others trying to state something different or correct 'em on something. Posting to a brick wall.

That's a good idea for a new award.

God knows he covets one.
