“I think RC can say thanks to LaMarcus and David (West) for those executive of the year awards,” Parker said. “I felt like before, Pop definitely should have won one of those years and I’m surprised Bob (Bass) never won the executive (award). But I think back in the day, the Spurs didn’t get that much respect. We had to earn that respect. Now everybody respects the Spurs, so they don’t forget RC. That’s just my personal opinion.
“I felt like Pop and Bob should have won before, but it’s just like that. Everybody who won deserves it, that’s for sure, but I felt like we’ve been a great team for a long time, and Pop and Bob, they never won it, so that’s weird. And now RC, he gets all the awards. It’s great because he deserves it, too, but he can say thank you to LaMarcus and David.”
