Spurs Tip-Off Luncheon

[spurschick]

I'll have to bring it to the Toronto game. Maybe Sho will autograph it for me.

Well then I guess you better hope it's his shoe.

[angel_luv]

Ksat news going to have part of Robert Horry's segement after this commercial break.

[SequSpur]

Now can they get their asses on the court and win a championship? I'm tired of this bull ting around when they should be focused on winning.

[DeeBo]

Kobe who?

I'll have to bring it to the Toronto game. Maybe Sho will autograph it for me.

At any rate, it is a great conversation piece.

You bidded on a shoe that had no auto?

someone PM me when I can bid on Kori's bra, now that will raise some cash.

[Jackie]

Having lunch with Angel is a SpursTalk thing

You're right, they haven't played any pre-season games or been in training camp focusing on winning a championship.

Then explain to me please how we had to wait forever and a day to get our car back from valet parking.

I didn't bid on it; I won it.

It is more fun to get it autographed in person anyway. And even if it isn't Rasho's shoe ( even though it is! ) it will still be his autograph. So there!

[Summers]

Thanks to everyone for the pics/reports. As usual, I am jealous. Sounds like it was a lot of fun!

Just got back from the luncheon.... it was freakin' hilarious! And long! It was almost 2 hours. Tony and Brent hosted it like a talk show, including the desk, couch and a band.

They did some filmed bits... Fabricio Oberto: Behind the Music with Manu, his manager and former butcher and Sean as a crazy Oberto fan... Bowen & Bowen Defense including Bruce in a wig with a cowboy hat and Finley as a client...

Timmy was dressed up as the Croatian Shaman ala the envelope psychic on the old Carson show.

It was a lot of fun. Some of it was a bit slow, but overall it was a good time.

My first reaction was: WTF? I live an hour away from Croatia and I've never heard that they have shamans?!?!?!? I almost googled for it

It took me a while to figure it out. One of the funniest typos I've seen in a while

[diego]

yeah I also got confused, but I think Ploto really does need to apologize to Shamans and the cultures that have them, its not like croatians were being associated with genocide or something bad like that... (!)

[ploto]

I wasn't going to reply but people don't seem to get it. The claim was that Tim Duncan did a skit mimicking Croatians. If you don't understand that, then I don't know how else to explain it. She did not CALL Tim Croatian- she said he was making fun of them and someone making fun of another ethnic group is offensive. He can make fun of his "own" all he wants but you don't make fun of the ethnic group of others. I also doubt that Croatian Catholics would be too happy with the notion of a shamam representing them.

All she had to do was say that she made a mistake and did not mean to imply Tim Duncan would do something that racially offensive.

OK I posted before reading the whole thread and the drama that insued.

I thought it was a pretty obvious unintentional mistake by SC and personaly found it hilarious (specially since I'm quite familiar with the Croatians and should have immediately realized it was a typo, but I didn't and almost went searching for the Croatian Shamans).

Furthermore diego, I don't understand the piont you are trying to make when you say: "its not like croatians were being associated with genocide or something bad like that...".

[ploto]

I don't think he knows history well enough to realize what he is saying.

[Kori Ellis]

She did not CALL Tim Croatian- she said he was making fun of them

No. She accidentally called him Croatian instead of Crucian.

[angel_luv]

Ploto- did you see my Rasho shoe? It's Nike.

[Kori Ellis]

Timmy was dressed up as the Croatian Shaman ala the envelope psychic on the old Carson show.

She isn't saying he is making fun of Croatians.

Timmy was dressed up as the Crucian Shaman ala the envelope psychic on the old Carson show.

She isn't saying he is making fun of Crucians.

Good picks

Waiting for the video

[ploto]

It's kind of like how I feel when people say Pop goes Serbian. I don't find it humorous, especially given that Pop is Montenegrin.

But I can agree to disagree. It's all about perception. Beno could come out dressed as the "Slovenian" whatever- and it would be OK, but not if Brent Barry did the same thing. That would be offensive.

[spurschick]

Just watch the damn video and get over it already.

[BigVee]

There was no perception, agenda, message, bias....just an old Johnny Carson bit. Nothing more, nothing less.

[ploto]

I only responded because people have addressed things directly to me. I saw what Tim did- I don't need to see a video.
