A fitting tribute to the “Still Here” Spurs
I somehow missed this incredibly enjoyable excerpt from Rachel Nichols’ The Jump on Friday. It’s appropriately celebratory, coming as it did right on the heels of the Spurs’ historic 2OT win on Thursday. But it doesn’t just come with props for the team’s current starts LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan. It doesn’t only tip the hat to the Big Three. There’s more than your run-of-the-mill allusion to a Terminator-esque nuclear apocalypse. There’s something for nearly every Spurs fan here ... including a newly styled recognition of Manu Ginobili’s skills with wildlife retrieval.
