I think he positions himself as the leader of the next generation Spurs. He was the only regular Spurs player who went out to Summer League to support the team.
He's also one of the older players of the younger group.

Hope Sean tapped that mini-skirt after the interview, tbh
ESPN Releases Pre-Season Power Rankings. Yea they're meaningless but whatever. Got the Spurs at #3.

can't wait till opening day
Duncan - Captain America. the leader. the alpha male
LaMarcus - Thor. powerful warrior from another realm
Kawhi - Hulk. beast who is still learning to fully control his powers
Danny - Ironman. the party guy. defends the perimeter
Parker - black widow. just try to stay out of the way and help as a team player. we aren't expecting much from you anyway
Funny
I want to say something funny about his gesture but can't come up with anything. He looks like he is going to question WTF is Pop doing at times? Pondering the wisdom of whether or not he should sneak out for an alley oop with Slo-mo or whether they will both be benched for playing so recklessly.

Nice interview. Thanks for posting!
Good read. Getting excited for the season.
And for what its worth, this thread is about the only one worth a damn on this site anymore, sadly. Hope that changes once the season starts.
As this is the official pass the time thread, I'll post that in Stein's first power rankings of the season the Spurs are #3 behind the Dubs and Cavs. Fair? Discuss.

Bonner - Hawkeye - distance shooter, not as powerful as the others, at times it seems like he's playing for the opposition.can't wait till opening day

Spurs needed to trade Tiago Splitter to make room for LMA. Hawks needed a rebounder after finishing 28th last season basketballinsiders.com/nba-pm-tiago-s…
This was funny. hmm I wanted to think of someone who could be Hawkeye and had a more significant role in the team. You could say that is Manu though. Also kind of a sharpshooter... also could at times seem like he got his teammates confused for the other side. Also, good friendship with black widow lol
I don't remember Tiago being a great rebounder
This was a very very good article actually can't believe just read it now.
Kind of confirms some of my su ion, that Pop specially in this late stage of the team, likes to watch what players naturally do well and then try to place them in positions to replicate that success, instead of the other way around, which is why other teams fail sometimes trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Pop obviously wants shooters to space the floor, but what do you do with valuable guys that have unorthodox roles? Pop kind of has given the ball to Diaw at times and let him come up with stuff. Diaw is as unorthodox as it comes but Pop has evolved to be more flexible with players specially on offense, if what they do gets results. He is very, very strict on what he wants defensively. But for example, what he will get angry at offensively, is guys who make bad decisions with the ball, forcing up a shot is just as bad as passing up a shot you should have taken.“We have a lot of questions,” he said, “and what people won’t think about is personality and fiber and what we had camaraderie-wise. We lost some of that.”
The Spurs coaches talked about what they gained, too. And after breaking down what they think they will do — such as run more post-ups than they have in recent years — they were still as uncertain as ever at the outcome.
“In the beginning,” Popovich said, “we’re just going to be teachers. We’re going to tell everyone how we usually like to do things. And then we’re going to watch them play.”
At some point in the season the rotation will change, as will minutes. At some point Popovich will rethink how certain lineups fit together, and he will rethink strategy, and he might even come up with more pretty plays.
If that’s the nature of the game, it’s also that of the coach. Popovich has evolved as his teams have, and now he is starting over, yet again, with the same franchise.
The focus is on Lamarcus, but as a whole the team has changed a lot because you also want to phase out Tony and Manu a little bit and increase the scoring or creating burden for other guys. Its exciting to watch and may take even another season to take on a "beautiful appearance of its own." I say this because even the same system looks different depending on the players who are executing it. Certainly the offense looked different when Tony vs. Cojo were at the point. The team looked very different before Diaw rolled into town as well. It also looks very different in Austin, where the Austin spurs run the same sets. If you know some basketball you will recognize the sets, but the execution, the reads player makes and what they do with those reads varies.

Do you realize what this means!?
Spurs basketball starts this week! (Ok....kinda)
Did your Devin Brown pic not work? Or did you choose someone else?
Still showing up fine for me...hm.
I switched to another one just in case.
No problem, I just couldn't see it. I like trying to guess which player will be next.
