??? Pop and Tim BOTH have very little time or patience with the media. If anything, his brushoff was the product of his time in SA with Tim and Pop.
Journalism isn't even close to being a respected profession anymore. There are very few good ones out there that actually do real stories and get their facts straight. The rest just use twitter and mislead people to try and get clicks and followers......absolute hacks.

You don't think Skip Bayless and Stephen A Smith calling Chris Bosh "Bosh e" is real old-school journalism? Shame on you.
Good. the media. Whi don't have time for those clowns.
Hoping this will pick up steam tbh. Spurs are way more enjoyable to watch when portrayed as villains ala Robert Horry/Nash

No kidding...an athlete that's not a media ! How insulting!"Everybody knows I don't do media.'' = Super Rude?
Good then I won't bother.It's funny reading the replies to Sam Smith's tweet about Kawhi. People are giving Sam Smith the business.
Media likes to make a big deal out of media-centric stories, like the Lynch thing. Honestly nobody cares. The only reason it gets run is that they're the ones with the mic or pen.
Cry babies
Wow, he's getting on in Twitter for that comment. Good job fans
Be careful. Don't go being reasonable around here.
They sit and answer, even if they sulk about it. Often with smiles on their faces, joking, in between pouts. New poster is right. If Kawhi was here for USA basketball, he would likely be doing the interview, even if reluctantly, just like Pop and Tim. If anything, that is their example.
Other way around brother. Media: "Spurs are boring champs. We don't really want to cover them." Now that they are hot: "Those boring Spurs that we did not want to cover won't give us more accessspursfan:

"They don't play the press. That means there's less meat for the marketing machine to chew up and process" Wilco said. "The Spurs' entire organization, they really think it's a distraction. The rest of that stuff is external to their job of winning games"

Tim? not always. Also, courtside reporters...sure...they love Pop.
Ballard discussed the process of writing a profile about a notoriously media-adverse subject in an SI podcast with Richard Deitsch. Spurs public relations man Tom James told him Duncan probably hadn’t done a sitdown interview in ten years, and that to get Duncan talking, “you gotta go with humor, or you’re done.”

Sports media are the s of the journalism, only above the gossip media. Dumb, functional illiterate jocks talking all the time.
"Seriously? Sheed? Maybe you're just an asshole and he picked up on it?"
A sit down interview isn't what was being expected. And, I didn't say Pop was a good sideline interview. I said pretty much the opposite. But, they do do the interviews.
kawhi doesn't owe them . his job is to produce on the court.
Fuc sam smith and ray allen
Eh, who cares? Media are known to be bags anyway.
Duncan is anti-media but he's never been rude to them.
They have no choice. The NBA makes media mandatory. If it weren't, both Pop and Tim would never do interviews. Pop is downright surly, and it shortens his interview cycle after each game.
Reminding them "you know I don't do media" and walking away isn't rude, saying " off" is.
