ari responded to today's
Spurs-Lakers love post with the following comment: "You missed one crucial man love incident, but I couldn't find a picture for you. Duncan was close to getting a technical for arguing, and Pop came over and grabbed him by the front of his shorts, right on his junk, and pulled him away. If you could find this picture...oh man. Or maybe somebody recorded the game and could get a still shot? I think it happened in the 2nd quarter."
I knew exactly what
ari was talking about, and I'd been looking for a picture -- with no luck -- all day. Then reader Trev stepped up to the plate and got me the money shot. Note that Timmy looks totally mesmerized. Could grabbing his junk be the secret to stopping him? Only Popovich knows for sure...
Trev also found a bigger, clearer picture of the incident on
SpursTalk.com.

they showed a clip of TD taking a shot at the top of the key with brent barry wide open on the left wing. next shot: popovich says to brent, AND I QUOTE: "pull your pants down if you have to. jump up and down to get his attention"
next shot: popvich to TD, quoted: "it's ok, you can't see the whole floor, that's why i told him to pull his pants down, maybe you'd notice him then"
if that's not man love worthy, i don't know what is, i cant find a youtube video but i'll look
i know you like the bulls, but this is just too unlikely to actualy happen. the wolves, sonics and even the heat got ripped .. let´s say the heat never ever deserved it for their 82-game-tanking, but still - maintain a low profile mr. stern & co
It's just luck, honestly. Unlikely teams getting the top pick has happened tons of the times in the past

1. The fo-fo-fo got put away in Game 3 of the first round when Boston lost to Atlanta
2. Fo-fo-fo nowadays would just mean that you swept your way into the Finals. Ask the 1989 Lakers how important that is (although the 2001 Lakers might have a counter argument to make).
