It's long, I spent 45 mins and are still not yet finish.
A lot of nice quotes from former Spurs like Horry, Avery Johnson, Mailk Rose, ******, Bowen etc
Great read!
"We would have three-peated if not for Manu's foul on Dirk"
"The only guy there that cares for the limelight is Tony"
Horry with the cold blooded truths, tbh.

LMAO, I was just about to post the same exact quotes. Horry still dropping bombs from retirement."We would have three-peated if not for Manu's foul on Dirk"
"The only guy there that cares for the limelight is Tony"
Horry with the cold blooded truths, tbh.
Great article though.
Actually we may not win in 2006.
Remember that finals is the reason why the nickname D-Whistle is born.
I just read the hand signals part, and wow that's super cool. No wonder guys look so lost out there when they cone in mid season.
Bruce was allowed to get away with murder on defense, tbh, there's no way Wade gets those calls against the Spurs IMO..
As legend has it, Pop was asked several years ago to change the way he signals for "Shake," which calls for a sideline pick-and-roll with another Spur stationed in the strong corner. The league is said to have decreed at the time that Pop would have to make sure his rolling-dice motion for "Shake" was done with his arm to his side -- as opposed to straight down the middle of his body -- to avoid anything suggestive.
A lot of speculation by Horry and others in this excellent article that Timmy may be several years away from retirement.
"He's not ready for it all to end, and he doesn't want it to end," Rose says. "I know that for a fact."
Good news!
I always wish that Timmy could play 20 seasons in NBA till 2017.A lot of speculation by Horry and others in this excellent article that Timmy may be several years away from retirement.

Good news!
I'd like that!
Don Nelson's joke on Pop:
Great read!
I just read that entire article as well. But I never could figure out who the person called "Thomas" was. I knew everybody else they were talking about, and I went back through the thing to see if I just missed the guy's first name (or last) but never could find a reference to who he was. Horry I know. Johnson I know. Elliott, Kerr, Nellie, Robinson, RC, etc. etc. But I don't know who the "Thomas" is/was. Was he a coach?
Long article but real good one. Lots of filler from previous quotes, but put together well.
Kurt Thomas
Didn't know that Spurs players and even their relatives were crying after Game 6, damn. The fact that POP was able to convince them to show up and play really well in Game 7 is incredible.
If the Spurs can't give Timmy one more ring, I would never "forgive" Pop. I understand, as a fan only, I'm in no place to judge Pop and he doesn't give a $hit about what a Spurs fan thinks. But still, that just shows my frustration and disappointment as a Spurs fan. So I totally understand what the players and their family members feel.
... and that's because of the meal we had afterward with all the players and their families. Everybody cried, everybody ed, everything you do after something like that. But Pop was at every table, touching every player, relating to all their loved ones, sharing the emotions of that moment and moving on to what was going to happen in Game 7.
Great read. As somebody else pointed out, Big Shot Bob droppin' truth bombs all over that article tbh
Thanks. completely forgot about him.
And it was Sean Elliott, not Sam Elliott the actor...just on case you were confused.
ESPN did a very good job on a tough team to crack into.
Stein deserves big credit.
