Pop after Tony’s 1st pre-draft workout for the Spurs: “He’s too soft and I’m looking for someone with more fiber and grit. He was nonchalant, like he was in a café outside Montmartre, in Paris, having a glass of wine and a croissant. It didn’t seem to matter more to him than that.”

After the follow-up workout:
> “I remember walking out, standing on the sidewalk just staring down at the asphalt,” Presti said. “We were all waiting for Pop to say something, anything. We all knew we were looking at a different 40 minutes than we had seen in Chicago.”
> Finally, Popovich broke the silence.
> “That guy’s going to be a starting point guard in the NBA for 10 years,” Popovich said.
And the rest was history
I mean, I’m French and living in England and employers think the exact same thing about me.
That’s some distinguished level of Burn.
