I wanted to interview another player who was key in the second half, and he didnt come into the media room. I asked my editor what should I do in case if that happens again, he told me to leave the tape recorder running in the media room and through the SID, get the other player and take your notebook and jot down what he said.

That has helped me out a lot in the past couple of games. What is your approach after the game when there is one player you want to talk to and they are not available, I'm sure its much different in the NBA than in College ball?

yeah, it's different in the NBA and especially with the Spurs.
The only one that comes out into the Interview room is Pop. Then media goes into the locker room and you can speak to any player available IN THE LOCKERROOM.
Only time that changes is during the playoffs when the league takes a little more control. In that case, your tip would work by leaving the recorder on in the interview room while you go into the lockerroon once is it opened to the press to get to a player that the Spurs/League won't bring out.

I believe that was after '03 when we won our chip but not since '00 have we actually goten cover love when TD remixed the Iceman poster.

It's also totally gangsta that they don't even announce the opposing team's starters.

It's kind of cute how every time Tony Parker screws up he glances over at Gregg Popovich, as if he's waiting to be punished.

I loved these two lines LOL

-- The in-arena host during time-outs is named Crazy Lou. Maybe putting San Antonio in charge of All-Star weekend isn't such a great idea.

lmao, that guy is wack.

great article

GREAT ARTICLE!

-- Tony Massenburg kicks over a huge bottle of some sort of red liquid in his locker. Not good.

I'm thinking this is Big Red.

thats exactly what i posted! read my post - i wrote "sept 03 issue" - which is after we won, and that is what the issue is about...the spurs winning it all.

Yep, Lang is fantastic at these sort of articles.

I've been trying to tell people that SLAM is not bad, and there Links section on the website is fantastic. Typical SpursReport poster doesn't bother to check them out and just labels them thuglovers because they like Allen Iverson.

And people accuse SLAM of being "Laker lovers when Lang called Tim the "Robot". Is it some small town inferior complex thing? As soon as a columnist says slightly negative things about Spurs, he's a Lakers lover. I remember someone called Bill Simmons that, , the man bleeds Boston green.
