That makes me happy that Manu is a good dude and good teammate. Tony Ive always kinda suspected he was like that. Ask Brent Barry

[@alnoutbreak]

Yeah I dont know, I pretty much take anything that stephen jackson says and just assume its the exact opposite when it comes to the spurs. Dude is salty. I dont know what to think about tony honestly. Obviously the whole brent barry thing makes him look like a complete ass, but i think a lot of what stephen jackson says it because tony is french and literally every word out of his mouth sounds like it is dripping condescension. I just dont see timmy or pop being ok with the kind of behavior stephen jackson and DJ are attributing to him, but I wasnt there, so who knows. I do believe thaat the whole mentoring thing didnt happen because DJ already had an nba mentor. Lebron effing James.

First off, that 2017 spurs team (his rookie year) was an amazing team. Second, Dejounte was the 29th overall pick. It’s to be expected to not get much PT your rookie year.

[@ChrisSanchez82]

To be fair, Tony Parker was the 28th overall pick in 2001. Antonio Daniels began that year starting, but Tony took that role from Antonio, in Tony's rookie year.

[@natecarroll1779]

Tony had one of the fastest first and second steps in that decade and it was obvious early on... Tony is also a hofer, cream always rises to the top. I'm a fan of Murray's game, been high on him since sa drafted him.

[@spursjunkie2821]

People don't even realize POPS be hooking players up by letting them go. If he thinks his system is gonna hold you back and you should flourish as a player he'll hook you up by letting you play elsewhere. He did it for Tony, patty mills, Demar, George Hill etc. And some of those players were lost once they got out of pops system.

[@tyreek.6815]

That’s why he’s the greatest coach. He builds people up. Why do you think Lebron respects pop so much? How come Pops coaching tree is so big and doing great things? Bro… Kerr literally won a ring with the spurs. Won one as a coach. Then went on and won 4 more.💀💀💀💀

Bad take. Pop got nothing to do with this he’s not the Gm. He’s cool as hell though and understand his system not for everyone. Pop is not the one making final roster decisions

[@NickPR87]

I think being drafted by an old school coach to a franchise that also runs their stuff through him can't be easy for any young player. Pop is set in his ways and he's gonna make players get used to his style, not the other way around.

[@MarkLaw13]

You're right but the more I hear these stories the more I realise that Kawhi was in the right. If you're a spurs fan you know what I'm on about. The media, Spurs org, fan all turned against him. Laughed at him and he will amount to nothing without Pops. They also said DeMar will achieve more. Pops needs to adjust his style.there no Tim Duncan anymore. Kawhi needed him and he spat in his face by getting impatient. Sending Parker and Manu to the media. He did regret in the 11 hour trying everything to keep him by retiring Manu earlier and trading Parker

[@NickPR87]

@tomsmith4282 Nobody here is prying into anyone's life. It's all sports talk.

[@randomtees]

@@MarkLaw13 Kawhi was right about what? What did Dejounte say here that was damning? The team drafted him after everyone else passed. They gave him the starting job over Tony in year 2. They gave him a contract extension even though he was hurt. They worked with him to find a team he wanted to get traded to. I can go off on Pop for days, but explain to me how they did DJ wrong. (Hint: they didn't. I watched the podcast. This was more about Jack airing his grievances against the Spurs after they cut him right before the postseason because he kept complaining to everyone around him about deserving to be starter over Danny Green). And the issue with Kawhi wasn't that he wanted to be traded. They were upset that he left town for NY midseason after a team-only meeting where the players asked him if he was ever going to return, then refused to speak to anyone associated with the team for months DURING THE SEASON, then publicly demanded a trade which killed the Spurs' leverage.

[@heox123]

@tomsmith4282 It takes minimal time and effort to read up a story about a team's outcome. Or as I suspect the guys making the comments are, passively gaining information from years of watching your favorite team and news related to it. Surely you do that too, as information gathering is common human behavior am I right?

[@luisdanielvega99]

why would he change something that has given him titles and success. Even seeing a lot of former assistants being succesful coaches in the league tells you how impactful he has been. To win in the league you need star players and honestly the spurs still with kahwi and lamarcus aldridge were a menace, to this day i think if kawhi would have stayed im confident they could have beaten the warriors with kd, ppl forget before kawhi got injured those spurs had 60+ wins. I do think he mishandled the whole kawhi situation, mainly by pressuring him, making other players(tony parker cough cough) question his injury, breaking the trust in the locker room. Thats pops biggest mistake, unfortunately there is not enough time to see him win another championship cuz he doesnt have a star player and he is not going to wait until a star is eventually developed.

[@chivastrice1894]

I'm born and raised in Seattle and when this young man got drafted I told everyone he got drafted by the right team and coach. Coach pop is the key to his success even if he's not with them anymore. If you buy in to pop, he will pull the star potential out of you

[@BrooklynUSA]

I just had a talk with my son about his body language on the bench. He got taken out the game because he wasn’t handling the double teams and press as he should and got sat down. He was on the bench pouting and not being supportive of his teammates. I told him what you going to do when the lights and cameras on? Best believe the coach going to show you on film, you not being a good teammate!!

[@om3667]

Stephen sounds like a bitter ex

[@randomtees]

He's also reinventing history acting like teams were clamoring for him during his final season. He had another full year guaranteed and the Spurs cut him a year early a week before the postseason because he was causing too many issues complaining that his 36 year old azz was better than Danny Green and Manu and deserved to be a starter. (FWIW, the Spurs made it to game 7 of the Finals that year and won a title the next.) No one wanted Jack. He ended up playing for about 2 weeks with the Clippers the next year before they realized they needed to cut him as well.

[@ericwilliams460]

And this how players hit the ceiling early in their career. Just because you're good doesn't mean you can't improve some kind of way. It's not being broken mentally. It's opening your mind to expand. For example, he's a grown man speaking like a teenager. 🤦‍♂️

[@EF-wy3di]

Your a teenager trying to speak like a grown man. They were definitely trying to break him and make him conform to their culture. It's millitary style indoctrination, aka trauma bonding. Mistreat someone you have power over and only occasionally reward them to keep them trying to get rewarded and trying to avoid punishment. There is a reason why once players started to realize their value, star players avoid and or dip from the spurs as fast as they can. People consider pop a genius for his abusive leadership style but how much of his success is due to him having Duncan Manu and Parker? Think of Steve Kerr today whose on track to achieve as much success as pop and everyone wants to play for the warriors.

[@jordannietos]

@@EF-wy3di It's called tough love. It doesn't work for everyone but the spurs have proven they know how it works. C'mon dude, this man is just complaining that someone finally put him in his place. Gave him an opportunity. And still ungrateful? That's not maturity.

[@EF-wy3di]

@@jordannietos Tough love is being honest with someone even when you know it is going to hurt them but be better for them in the long run. Psychological manipulation and rituals of public humiliation is not tough love, it isn't any form of love. It is domination and control over someone to make them do what you want them to do. Of course these things work a lot, otherwise people wouldn't do them to others. He wasn't "put in his place". He was a really talented ball player with a strong sense of self and self value. He was a project that pop wanted to see if he can break psychological and turn into a tool for him to use. So pop sabotaged and tried to humiliate him at every step hoping to destroy his confidence in his self so Pop can instill a new sense of identity and purpose of his own design into him. Why should he be grateful for literal abuse and sabotage to his career? This is the part where fans forget that players are actual human beings. You view these real people as meer objects of entertainment and so there is a lacking of empathy. Jackson was an employee and Pop was his supervisor, nothing more. He is not his father nor is he some moral authority. They play a children's game for entertainment. It's not like pop is commander that needs to condition soldiers to defend the lives of millions of people or something. He is just an egotistical narcissist that feels some marks on a piece of paper that everyone will forget about in 10 years means more than someone's humanity.

[@jordannietos]

[@coredaqqer6197]

@@EF-wy3di 🤣🤣 This is so detailed and so incorrect at the same time. Why should a kid who was drafted nearly dead last in the first expect to come out and get treated like he’s him? Especially behind a HoF PG and a solid championship caliber back up in Patty Mills? He was 3rd in his position and they made him work for his spot? And that he did, The kid got a $64M guaranteed contract and was developed into the budding star he is right now. His sense of entitlement is not justified at all.

Tony Parker owns him nothing. He dedicated 16 years of his life for the spurs and did some ugly mistakes on the road but you can't deny the work he threw since 2002, dude is possibly an HoF. When his idol MJ called to join him, TP was already preparing the after-career and create his own basketball training camp in France, it was a business opportunity he couldn't refuse. Then Murray got the starting PG spot that he wanted so much with a 64M contract which was a pretty fair deal overall considering they offered him this a year after his toned ACL. Just another drama with different perspective, btw Jackson has just been a hater for years because his ego couldn't take that Spurs favored a small French Guard over him. Would like to hear Timmy and Gino's version since they Are Parker's best friends

Hearing that tp is selfish blows my mind but at the same time it doesn’t really surprise me because it’s Tony Parker. He always did come off as a little bitchy and prissy but ay he won us some chips so 🤷🏽‍♂️

The Spurs Way showed you how to be a pro.....got you to be an All Star....and committed to you when you were injured. Dejounte proved he was an immature child, no matter how work we put into him and his development. The ex-players bitching about the Spurs Way are few and far between. Consider the source. #GoSpursGo

Yet the Spurs are tanking the season while trading away their best assets. Pull your head out.

He’s the reason why there’s “drama” in ATL w/the Hawks now.

[@kambuibomani231]

He’s not lmaoo. It’s basically Trae bucking the coaching staff yet again. They’ve done better recently so wonder if Murray got through to him to stay the course

[@murryjm]

@@kambuibomani231 One can say that Trae is the problem but I’m not buying it based on this interview w/DM. DM believes that he’s “the man” and whatever drama that ensues wherever/whichever team he’s with stems from that underlying factor, IMO.

@@w704b7 Sure, Nate may not be able to hack it. Perhaps his extension was premature & misplaced, but DM is part of the problem too - and this interview proves as much to me.

@@murryjm what do you mean 🤔 can you elaborate more cause I just watched the whole interview what did he prove

[@justinle8787]

Nah, Tony also went through the same thing like Dejounte, I guess that why he's so reluctant to let it go at the end. He was consistently shit on by Pop game by game in his early days. And he can only play within the system for a decade, averaged only under 15 to 18 points. You can't tell me that if he went somewhere else, with his talent, he couldn't average over 20 for most of his career. Same thing for Manu and Duncan, everyone stayed in line with Pop, but I guess Pop should prioritize Manu more, for me at least, Manu is a better player than Tony.

Tough watching as a Spurs fan, but irregardless of the slight spurs shade, DJ is a real one. His honesty with himself shows in this interview and you can tell he is comfortable in his own skin. He has been through a lot of turmoil, but he still has room to mature and be a more humble player on the court (his antics with the rockets as an example). It's obvious the spurs system don't work for everyone on a personality level, but you cannot deny how integral Pop and SA was for DJ. I think it was more of DJ's narcissistic young ego more than the Spurs' 'mind games' that lead him to feel the way he felt. But it's worked out for him either way. The spurs have nothing but love for DJ, just wished he could have realized that nothing is personal when you not in the rotation early or when you not getting that response or respect that you want. He had a lot of vets ahead of him in SA, but more importantly you have to be coachable in terms of respecting the opponent and the game. From his recent antics with the rockets and Paolo; it sounds like DJ struggled with that aspect under Pop.

[@gr8esthandleever]

What honesty? What he says here completely contradicts what he has said in the past especially when he got selected as an all star which wasn't long ago.

[@aedaed3605]

DJ is comfortable in his own skin and that's a good thing. Nobody ever makes it into the NBA, or even in life, not being comfortable in their own skin.
