    A little love from one old grumpy wine drinker to another old grumpy wine drinker.

    Might have been valid if we'd won, but I can't see Pop getting it.


    It's also funny how Kareem has to always drop in a mention of his own success (indeed it is half the article) when praising someone else.

    Sounds like a bad joke tbh... Duncan gets told to sit the down in game 6 and the credit still goes to Popo first and foremost, that's ed up. Isn't it the sportsmanship award for hugging LeBron so much...

    The true Spurs heroes are the players, Pop without Duncan <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Duncan without Pop...

    It was a nice read. Pop really does get the best out of his players and he doesn't get caught up in all of the trash talk stuff like some more brash and arrogant coaches i can think of. Additionally, players here tend to stay very low key and conduct themselves as model citizens, another testament to his influence. About Duncan being told to take a seat, i understand why some people find this decision questionable, but truthfully, any player can box out, it's not exclusively the domain of the bigs.. had someone everyone just found the nearest man and put a body on him, this point would be moot. There were also some missed free throws and a few other regrettable moments leading to the meltdown. Fan to fan, i understand your frustration, but I'm still glad to have our stability and thankful for Pop, and no matter what an uberfani may profess to being, I'm quite positive that his basketball a en is much greater than mine. Go spurs!

    well all great coaches had great players but Timmy wouldn't have been as successful with any other team except maybe the Lakers. All these consecutive 50 win seasons are truly amazing.

    Kareem always does that. He feels forgotten by history. Didn't he suggest HIS statue in L.A.?

    well history hasn't been kind to him. kareem's biggest problem is that he's black and he let everyone know it. michael jordan, who's black also, didn't let people know it. i'm not saying michael jordan is a sellout because i don't think he is, but he's no kareem when it comes to speaking out against the wrongdoings of white people and kareem is no michael at keeping quiet about it. if u do a comparison of their careers in their prime, how can anyone say they'd start a franchise with jordan over kareem? kareem was jerked out of the 1980 finals mvp. no way in can any one convince me magic deserved that award. and u can make a claim for him deserving it in 82 cuz noone had an all around stellar finals above everyone else on the team but they wanted magic as one of the faces of the league. the message here is, play sports, shut the fuk up and don't offend racist white folk and you'll be celebrated..
