Watching the video. Man, it's a tough watch. Pop had to stop talking several times after getting choked up.

When Pop mentions Timmy's dad (right before 12 min mark) leaving him responsible for his son after his death. Damn. Hit me hard.

I need a drink.

How can a man accomplish so much and be so humble?

He is the greatest sports role model of all time. The perfect successor for Robinson.

Not to detract from Timmy but it seems that Kawhi is the exact same mold. Incredible that an organization has found potentially three franchise players who are willing to be that humble. I don't know where Kawhi's career is going from here but I wouldn't want anyone else in the league carrying Tim's torch besides him.

It's like David created Timmy, who created Kawhi. They are the perfect players and the perfect men for this franchise.

Me too. Seeing Pop get chocked up makes it impossible not to get choked up yourself.

Yup. So much emotion from a man who so rarely shows it. What a great PC from Pop.

Man all these video tributes, Twitter messages and interviews without anything from Timmy is so eery. It's almost like a death of a great individual who people didn't appreciate enough while they were here. I know it's not Timmys style but man. That video just posted brought a tear to my eye.

Seriously, where is the guy? I know he doesn't have any social media, but no quotes, no messages, nothing.

Take a moment to read this article if you haven't already. It's a good read.

Some exerts that made me laugh:

quote:
I remember watching in 1999 when Latrell Sprewell missed that fadeaway jumper over Tim and David Robinson in Game 5 and the Spurs won their first title. My dad and I were in the front room of our house on the southwest side of San Antonio. As soon as the buzzer sounded LITERALLY AS SOON AS IT SOUNDED he ran outside and started honking the horn on his truck over and over again. I didn't know if that was how you were supposed to celebrate a championship or not; I just know other people in the neighborhood started doing it, too. And then after a minute or so it felt like (and sounded like) everybody was doing it. It was just a whole bunch of horns being honked by a whole bunch of Mexicans. That was the first time I understood that people could be truly tied together by sports, and that San Antonio was tied together by basketball.

quote:
They'd erased the Game 6 nightmare from the year before (when Ray Allen and the Heat snatched the championship rings off their fingers and also all my emotions out of my soul). More than that, they'd turned that horrifying memory into something cool, a gruesome wound that healed into an intimidating battle scar. Allen hitting that 3 transformed from a historical marker of pain to a symbol of resilience and fortitude, the accelerant for the greatest, most fulfilling season in the history of the franchise.

With Duncan's retirement, I can't help but think of watching the 2014 playoff run with my late mom. It is such a precious memory.

I'm sure several Spurs fans have stories of bonding with their parents and children during a championship run. Thanks Timmy!

Guess the traffic took down the page. But the app is working fine. Really great interview so far. Talking about Timmy's college years, swimming etc.
