4-Down Episode 11: Basketball in the summer
Summer is the time for us to get rest from the grind of watching basketball every night from October to June. It’s time to watch baseball and go to the pool and do other fun things, right?
Nope.
Instead we do things like go to ESPN3 on a Sunday afternoon and watch Spurs summer league games just to get our fix. And we record podcasts, either early in the morning or late at night, and talk about the things we see during those Spurs games.
And on that note, episode 11 of the 4-Down podcast is here. The guest on this week’s podcast is Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News. Jeff is the San Antonio Spurs beat writer for the Express-News and was fortunate enough to Las Vegas for the summer league this year. And then he was nice enough to come on the podcast and talk about it.
You can read Jeff’s writing about Spurs basketball at MySA.com, you can follow him on Twitter, and you can buy a newspaper (I can’t link to a physical object).
And while you’re at it, you can follow me and Tim Varner on Twitter.

POP HAS ALWAYS KEPT HIS EYE ON THE PRIZE. THE #1 PICK IN THIS YEAR’S DRAFT WAS FROM BRAZIL. REM THE FABLE FROM THE VIRGIN ISLAND. BORN TO WIN THE NEXT OLYMPIC SWIMMING MEDAL. HOW ABOUT THE PRODGITY FROM VENUZUELA. WE DID NOT KNOW THE THIS DREAM WAS AN AMERICAN. FROM SOUTH AMERICA CAME HE DOWNFALL FOR THE LA EXPRESS= KOBE AND THE DIESEL. THEN CAME THE SECOND BOB COZY FROM FRANCE. MAYBE IT WAS NOT POP, BUT PROVIDENCE. MAYBE GOD JUST LOVE SAN ANTONIO. GO SPURS GO.

re: ‘great read on james’ /// i read this quote in that article: ‘The team, the league, the press and media, and the fans derive their power from him, and not — as the game had always wanted athletes to believe — the other way around.’
i must disagree with that. ultimately, without the fans, he is nothing.
otoh, looking forward to anderson play…
