Interesting. Does Matty still live in SA? I though his home was somewhere in New England.
Thanks.
EDIT: I guess its New Hampshire.

Right move..Stay close enough to the organisation so one day he could climb in the hierarchy..I mean, was Sean Marks more qualified?
Thanks for posting. I couldn't watch it on Twitter for some reason. It's sad how straight that video is played.
Gotta love Matty's sense of humor.
Thank you Red Rocket. It wasn't always easy but you were a damn good shooter, teammate, and locker room/off-the-court guy ( , maybe the best off-the-court Spur of all time); you even played a big role in helping the Spurs win #5. Thank you for everything, Matty!
You bunch of peckerwoods
Thanks for the Coach B videos tbh
I never understand how this board will roast a guy for years, then come together for a kumbaya upon their retirement?!?!?
Great guy. As a sharpshooting role player, and an energy guy off the bench, he was great. He would come into the game, pop a 3 or two, and maybe steal a couple of rebounds, and change the momentum. He deserved to get paid, and he was in demand. But I think the higher salary (and cap) made them feel like he had to have an upgraded role. It didn't do him or the team any favors. A lot of the hate around here has to do with the expectations of him as a starting big. He also had a couple of nasty leg/foot injuries that changed his stroke. The difference between a decent 3P shooter and a great 3P shooter is pretty slim. After the injuries, he was never a great 3P shooter again.
He will be great as an analyst, and I expected the Spurs organization to find a way to keep him around. Good news all the way around.
Let's face it, Matt during his later years wasn't the best on-the-court guy. But he was definitely a great locker room guy, off the court guy. He was the definition of a Spur. Never complained about playing time. Never demanded a trade or anything. He knew his role. If they retire his jersey, it's because he personifies what it means to wear a Spurs jersey.
I wonder if KG is going to come back for a year so that he and Matt don't go into the Hall together.
So glad he'll be doing analysis for FSSW! A class act and two-time NBA Champion! Thank you Red Rocket!
Great post FWD !
So where are Pop's nudes, tbh....?
Still never hit a shot when it mattered.
Starting C during the dark ages.
Too much money for a big pile of ginger .
Toooooo overrated here for being a "good teammate" and "good end of the bench guy".
Hope he gets to meet Princess Wormfood soon. 2017 needs to hit NOW.
Because normal human beings have the capacity to criticize the performance, and not hate and obsess over the person? It's just the lunatic fringe of ST and ISIS that think like you two (and a few more like you.)
Have a nice day, though.
@SpurPadre best day of his life!.

The Bonner hate really calmed down after about 2012 tbh, at least from most reasonable Spurs fans. I think we can all agree that he was a nice piece to have coming off the bench. He probably never should have been a starter in the NBA, but that's more an indictment on Pop fantasizing him as Horry 2.0 than it is Bonner.
PATFO would've ditched him years ago if he was black
Hopefully his privilege is checked
Oyes, Chuch. Take it easy, breezy. The vato is done. Estas bien bruto, buey.
