: Hey, there's a solid looking PG we need to check out. Very solid. Good passer.
Parker:I don't know about that guy. Hey...have you seen the great French player, Jaque Pierre? We could sign him and let him play overseas.
Manu :
Bonner?
The Porker extension?
smh would Tim and Manu really sign off on this chit?
Parker:
Manu :
Man.... listening to him go through the history of the team is so cool. How lucky we've been.
It is amazing to see how Pop, RC and everybody else in the Spurs org felt a responsibility to make sure Tim was put in the best position possible. Tim never demanded that. The feelings were so genuine. Nothing was forced among these guys. Tim was The San Antonio Spurs and the Spurs were Tim Duncan. I think people don't fully realize what the Spurs lost with Tim retiring.
"It'll never be onto the next, after Tim."
No need for tears. I think the Spurs will be able to keep Tim involved with the organization in an influential capacity. I think RC termed it as a Culture Agent or Driver.I felt better after hearing/seeing TD.. And now this, it's back to
I think its important to remember that David Robinson influenced Tim as well. He came to a team where David was eager and willing to accept Tim and not get in the way or try to marginalize him. There was no power struggle like the kind you see with Harden and Howard or Durant and Westbrook. I think it meant a lot to Tim in those early years and he carried it forward.
you're kidding, right? KL isn't even the second option in the 4th
I really doubt Kawhi is that guy. I mean, what I can infer watching from afar. I don't know how is Kawhi in the locker room.
Kawhi is not that guy - nobody can replace the maturity, unselfishness and leadership that Timmy provided.
What is really striking about this interview--and the one given by Pop--is just how obviously appreciative the player, the GM and the coach was/is of one another. Has there ever been a case like that, any franchise/sport? You occasionally see good player/coach relationships, but player/coach/GM? And over 19 years?
"It'll never be onto the next, after Tim."
Tims one of a kind. To be so thorough in maintaining integrity in a league that loses it by the day, how can you not love the guy and be so thankful to be attached to him? Dont get me wrong, theyve all got integrity but you more expect it from the older generation.
I understand Woj wanted to end the interview. The awkwardness, at least to me, was the unemotional way he ended the interview like he would any podcast. Poor RC was definitely done. I just thought a little more empathy on Woj's part would've been more appropriate.
I thought so too but RC corrected him with his last statement and I bet Woj was glad he did because his intentions were probably better than the words that came out.
Tim really is one of a kind.
Jeez, it looks like he died or something. Relax you ing wimp
That Buford breakdown at the end was probably both a little shocking and awkward...and, with some people, under those cir stances they go back to what is habitual...maybe that's what happened with Woj...he was probably plenty empathic inside, but he still had to hold it together for the show...
It was a good interview. RC emotional throughout not just the at the end I noticed.
One thing that for some reason that I found very surprising was RC saying Timmy had still been around the last few weeks (days?) doing his gym routines and shooting drills.
watching adult men in their late 60s choke up like some bereaved parents just shows you the magnitude this event .
Pop and RC, deep down, understands fully how this transcends the on-court part of basketball.. Such is the inimitable greatness of Timmy that he leaves behind a great foundation and promising seeds all over this franchise..The tremendous responsibility these two men feel now to keep this thing together and going without the man who made them all is why they both lost their in the moment...
I know it is one of the corniest lines thrown in similar cir stances, but I'm sure as "there will never another Tim Duncan"..And it is why this has a strangely morbid sense of death..Hopefully, not..
Man that was hard to listen to at the end.
Poor RC. That gave me the feels.
The presence of social media has allowed us to appreciate Duncan's career far more than any numbers or rings or accolades, tbh..all you have to do is show somebody all the reactions of players/coaches/front office members of the organization and it speaks volumes on the impact he had on them..
I've never seen a player command this type of reaction, IIRC..
Really amazing..aside from that naked troll Colin Cowherd , haven't heard read anything but positive words/testimonies...I mean i just you watched the praise heaped by basketball purists like Carlisle//Thibs, you can tell Duncan is undoubtedly every coach's dream, and it is not even close..
Yep, you could either get standing ovations from thousands of fans who you don't know or give a about vs having your own GM/coach cry for you and having all your teammates, former and current, show their love. It's pretty amazing how Tim's retirement has generated that kind of reaction.
What did Cowherd say about Duncan?
