Tony Parker

Family first, basketball second. That’s the motto that most guys in the league live by. Tony Parker appears to be one of them. The Rio Olympics are right around the corner and guys love nothing better than to suit up for their homeland. That’s typically what the Spurs PG does every four years, but he [...]

By now you know the San Antonio Spurs are kind of good at this whole basketball thing. Though the Golden State Warriors’ pursuit of the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls’ record 72 victories has justifiably earned much of the spotlight, the Spurs themselves are on pace to win 70 games, mostly because they’re the freaking Spurs, but [...]

Tim Duncan is impressed by Manu Ginobili. Really impressed. At 38 years old, with 13 NBA seasons to his credit, Manu Ginboili’s best days are clearly behind him. His per-game minutes averages have been in decline since 2010-11, and his role within the San Antonio Spurs’ offense isn’t nearly as prominent as it once was. [...]

I grew up amidst the basketball eras of Magic, Bird, and Jordan, when finding a great European player in the NBA was about as rare as the L.A. Clippers making a good draft selection or the playoffs for that matter. I grew up in a time where the Lakers Vlade Divac was literally considered the [...]

Boris Diaw knows the deal: Tim Duncan is forever. The 39-year-old Duncan is prepping for his 19th NBA season with the San Antonio Spurs. He will be just the third player in league history to spend at least 19 years with one team, joining John Stockton and Kobe Bryant. Though he signed a two-year deal [...]

Some thought the San Antonio Spurs would struggle to round out their bench after signing LaMarcus Aldridge. Those people are now bearing witness to the entire Spurs contingent taking a dump on their front lawn. The Spurs, against all logic, were able to retain Danny Green, Boris Diaw, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili even after [...]

In the words of Kelly Clarkson: What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. In the words of San Antonio Spurs Gregg Popovich (probably): What doesn’t kill you makes you drink a decades-old pinot noir. Once again, it looks like the Spurs’ followed Popovic’s lead over Clarkson’s. TMZ has video (h/t Complex) of the Spurs coming [...]

Over the past two decades, the San Antonio Spurs have established themselves as the model franchise for all major sports. From David Robinson to Tim Duncan to Manu Ginobili to Tony Parker, the proverbial torch has been seamlessly passed to the team’s next superstar. Since Duncan’s NBA debut in 1997, the Gregg Popovich-coached Spurs have [...]

It’s no secret: Throughout the current campaign, the San Antonio Spurs haven’t displayed the same dominance that keyed a convincing run to the 2013-14 NBA championship. Nevertheless, we’ve been waiting for the Spurs to and regain their title-winning form. After all, every player on the roster who logged meaningful playing time last year is still [...]

As the 2014-2015 NBA season gets underway, everyone already wants to know how it will end. Will the San Antonio Spurs repeat? Will Cleveland finally win one? When will big market franchises in the basement (Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, and the Philadelphia 76ers) return to contention? Back on top, the Spurs [...]
