Popovich Saying Goodbye to Duncan Press Conference
I've never seen Pop choked up before. He gets emotional around the 12 minute period referecing Duncan's father before he passed away. Duncan's father told Pop, "I'm going to hold you responsible to make sure that when he's done, he's the same person he is now."

Popovich references a Wall Street Journal article wrote by Jason Gay about Duncan stating that article is the closest thing he's read hitting the nail on the head on about who Duncan is.

There probably hasn't been a tighter coach/player bond in sports, tbh.
Even though we all know Tim wasn't the same player last year you can see that Pop is uncertain of a future without Duncan in the locker-room.

What I'm worried about is that with the departure of Timmy, and Manu/Parker leaving soon, they lack a true leader. Kawhi is too passive and Aldridge is kind of an outsider. This will be the first time since 1989 that the Spurs will be without a franchise player/leader. Let's brace ourselves and hope for the best.

27 years with Duncan and/or Robinson
But life goes on ... the Spurs will be fine with Kawhi

I think Gasol may help a little with that. But I see what you mean -

There are going to be a lot of dark days ahead for the Spurs, unless they get lucky enough to draft a Top 10-15 player.
Similar to what the Bulls felt after Jordan retired the second time.... SA will be a bit better because they have some things in place. But championship aspirations are long gone until they find that next superstar.

Sure. Him in Dolan's ear and wallet. Dolan gives Pop the $ and power that Phil has right now, and you're saying 2 years.

Popovich
What an act he just put on for the cameras right there
How many of you dumb sheep fall for his fake ass egotistical acting?
He can just see ESPN gushing over how "truly special of a coach" he is after he puts on this Hollywood-esque act job
Maybe he belonged in LA all along but is just too ugly to fit in with the egotistical self absorbed good looking ppl there so he thought his egotistical self absorbed ugly ass would come off better in ol San Antonio.
Worked
Congrats

Re: Popovich Saying Goodbye to Duncan Press Conference
damn, this got to me. duncan and pop seem like some of the most genuine people in a league full of superficiality. i was never attached to duncan as a player, his style just didn't appeal to me, but damn is it obvious that he is a good person. someone that was loved by all. you would never hear of someone speak about kobe like this, coz let's face the facts, kobe was an asshole (especially in his younger days).
