Speaker 2: to a bright future. Welcome to our second annual SASA Awards.
Speaker 2: That's right, the San Antonio Spurs Annual Awards Show. We
Speaker 2: can't come up with a shorter name. It was better
Speaker 2: than swak. I don't even want to say. Almost said swastika. Okay,
Speaker 2: we don't want to go there. It's a Family Show.
Speaker 2: We said something like that last year, like sealed with
Speaker 2: a kiss, and it was just way too long, all right,
Speaker 2: but I kind of like it. This year the San
Speaker 2: Antonio Spurs Annual Award Show right here with your boy Katie.
Speaker 2: We got some great awards coming up, so stick around
Speaker 2: Best Career, high Moment, Inspiring Moment of the Year, Speech
Speaker 2: of the Year, Player of the Year, Defensive Player of
Speaker 2: the Year, our Admiral Leader of the Year, and so
Speaker 2: much more. We got some great clips lined up for
Speaker 2: you too, so stick around here to the San Antonio
Speaker 2: Spurs Weekly Podcast and our annual Awards show coming up.
Speaker 2: But let's start Spurs fans. What a season? All right?
Speaker 2: What a season? It was kind of like we were
Speaker 2: playing with house money once Greg Popovich went down. It
Speaker 2: was a weird season because when Greg Popovich went down,
Speaker 2: we were like, man, what's gonna happen? Is this team
Speaker 2: gonna fold? Are they gonna go under? But they showed
Speaker 2: so much grit, determination and drive throughout the season. I
Speaker 2: can't wait to see this when it comes to let's say,
Speaker 2: playoff time next year. Yeah, let's say that, Spurs fans,
Speaker 2: let's speak it into existence. The Western Conference is a
Speaker 2: tough conference, but San Antonio hung tough, also played spoiler
Speaker 2: to several teams and positioning, so on and so forth.
Speaker 2: But compared to last year, the San Antonio Spurs did
Speaker 2: ay have a positive season. In the offseason, they went
Speaker 2: out and got some great veterans on this team with
Speaker 2: Chris Paul and Harrison Barnes, who are up for a
Speaker 2: few this year. In their own right here on the show,
Speaker 2: Chris Paul showed why he's a winning formula for any team.
Speaker 2: Every team he's gone to, the win percentage has gone up,
Speaker 2: and the Spurs win percentage jumped all the way up
Speaker 2: the thirty four wins. I know we expected more Spurs fans,
Speaker 2: but the problem is here in San Antonio, you've gotten
Speaker 2: two use to the ninety nine championship, three to five, seven,
Speaker 2: almost making it, Ina, almost making it. In two thousand
Speaker 2: and two, we should have won, We should have won
Speaker 2: five straight. But as we know in sports, injuries happen.
Speaker 2: Things happen, and it happened this year with Greg Popovich.
Speaker 2: Greg Popovich going down, it was almost like a surreal
Speaker 2: moment here in San Antonio. A lot of you Spurs
Speaker 2: fans were complaining, oh he needs to move on. He
Speaker 2: needs to let somebody in, new team, new players, young guys.
Speaker 2: We need a young coach. And guess what when he
Speaker 2: went down, you guys still complained about the coaching. For
Speaker 2: somebody like Mitch Johnson to come in and do what
Speaker 2: he did, you better praise the good Lord that he
Speaker 2: did as well as he did, and we're gonna praise
Speaker 2: him on this show. Were there moments that the coaching
Speaker 2: staff messed up rotations, Sure, but keep in mind Mitch
Speaker 2: Johnson never played a game in the NBA. He only
Speaker 2: played at Stanford with the Lopez Twins. He is a
Speaker 2: basketball mind and he's been underneath Greg Popovich for several years.
Speaker 2: Even at the end of this year when they asked
Speaker 2: Wimby what's to come in the coaching position, he said
Speaker 2: he'd like to see Mitch return. The team has taken
Speaker 2: the Mitch. You the fan have not taken the mitche
Speaker 2: But keep in mind, our Obi Wan went down, our
Speaker 2: Luke Skywalker went down. We were left with Han Solo
Speaker 2: and the crew to defend the Rebel bas and we
Speaker 2: didn't do that bad of a job. And if you
Speaker 2: didn't follow the Star Wars reference, Obi Wan was Popovich
Speaker 2: when Ben Yama was Skywalker. You got it right, You
Speaker 2: got it? Okay, all right, just making sure you're following
Speaker 2: the bouncing basketball here on the show today. But it
Speaker 2: was a weird year. We still had an older Jedi,
Speaker 2: almost like our Mace wind Do on the team. Why
Speaker 2: am I going all Star Wars. I'm just surprised. I
Speaker 2: know all these names Marvel movies. I should have went
Speaker 2: with our Mace wind Dow was kind of like O
Speaker 2: Our Yoda. Let's call him our Yoda. He's twenty years
Speaker 2: in the league CP three. He was our Yoda and
Speaker 2: he was leading this team out there, leading a young
Speaker 2: Jedi crew including Steph Castle. We just hope Steph Castle
Speaker 2: doesn't turn to the dark side become Darth Vader. That's
Speaker 2: another story. All right. We're done with the Star Wars references.
Speaker 2: But a lot of you understood what I was saying,
Speaker 2: didn't you. But us Spurs fans were sitting here wondering
Speaker 2: what was going to happen to this team. But we
Speaker 2: were above five hundred for a majority of the year.
Speaker 2: Early in the year, you know, we were thirteen and eleven,
Speaker 2: fifteen and twelve, seventeen and fifteen and we started to
Speaker 2: slip a little bit. But the one thing we got
Speaker 2: to look at the silver lining behind all this. We
Speaker 2: didn't have huge losing streaks like last year ten, thirteen, fourteen, nineteen.
Speaker 2: Does everybody remember that nineteen game losing streak? Oh man, man,
Speaker 2: it took me back to the days of nineteen eighties
Speaker 2: when I watched the Spurs and they weren't that good
Speaker 2: and they had one of the worst teams in the NBA.
Speaker 2: It reminded me of the team before David Robinson got here.
Speaker 2: It was just really bad. But the Spurs didn't have
Speaker 2: that bad of a season and they're not far off.
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, especially in the West, we do need
Speaker 2: a couple pieces right now. We're not going to talk
Speaker 2: too much about it. We've talked about it all year long.
Speaker 2: Somebody like a nas Reed is out there in the
Speaker 2: free agency market. But where does that leave Chris Paul?
Speaker 2: Do we resign some of these guys? Do we get
Speaker 2: rid of some of these guys? I think we have
Speaker 2: a good core. We're missing one piece, And like they've
Speaker 2: said so far, it depends on what happens in this draft.
Speaker 2: If the Spurs can land a Connople or that kid
Speaker 2: out of Georgia. I think the Spurs are going to
Speaker 2: be fine with a healthy team, even bringing back Chris Paul.
Speaker 2: I believe we should bring back Chris Paul for another
Speaker 2: two year run. He likes San Antonio. I think he's
Speaker 2: great on the floor. He doesn't take up a lot
Speaker 2: of minutes twenty to twenty four, but when we need
Speaker 2: him for more, he's there something to think about, Spurs fans,
Speaker 2: and we'll talk about in our future podcast coming up
Speaker 2: here in the offseason. Yes, we'll be joining you, not weekly,
Speaker 2: but probably bi weekly with these Spurs report here on
Speaker 2: your favorite podcast platform, so make sure you stick around
Speaker 2: for that. We're gonna also have some specialty shows throughout
Speaker 2: the year and we will bring you news as it happens.
Speaker 2: All right, So let's get to our second annual. Yes, oh,
Speaker 2: we got the music this year. You've got your finest
Speaker 2: jersey on. I see the artist Gilmore jersey in the crowd,
Speaker 2: I see the Whimby, I see the Robinson, I even
Speaker 2: see it. Is that a rudy gay That isn't rudy
Speaker 2: gay jersey over there? Welcome everybody to the first ever,
Speaker 2: second ever San Antonio Spurs annual award show right here
Speaker 2: on the San Antonio Spurs Weekly Podcast with your boy Katie.

Speaker 2: we came up with this year. You guys are gonna
Speaker 2: love it. A couple of these are going to go
Speaker 2: back to back here, Scuffle of the Year. Here's our
Speaker 2: first nominee. Do you guys remember when Jeremy Sohan and
Speaker 2: Julian Champenny would not take any ish from the Oklahoma
Speaker 2: City Thunder.
Speaker 9: Champenny fix it up, gives it a castle, finds a
Speaker 9: cutting side with the hammer.
Speaker 7: And now we had a scuffle at center court Kenrich
Speaker 7: Williams and Juliet Sampenny and now don't mix it up
Speaker 7: with so Hand.
Speaker 2: This was our first time that we saw the San
Speaker 2: Antonio Spurs really say hey, we're here to play. We're
Speaker 2: not gonna be any pushovers. And Jeremy don't mess with
Speaker 2: the Sohan destroyer really decided to step in and it
Speaker 2: was pretty interesting him getting in loud Dort's head because
Speaker 2: lou Dort ended up getting ejected, but Jeremy did not
Speaker 2: in that one. That is our first nominee for Scuffle
Speaker 2: of the Year, Champenny and so Hand versus the Oklahoma
Speaker 2: City Thunder. Here's our second one. You may not remember.
Speaker 2: It was the first week of the season. Dylan Brooks,
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we know that guy versus who Victor win
Speaker 2: Benyama check it out?
Speaker 3: Three well short a couple of those rustic threes that
Speaker 3: worked that way.
Speaker 4: They stopping a Town of the Webby Balls. Brooks is
Speaker 4: there him, Brooks fighting for it. Watch out, watch out home,
Speaker 4: Dylan Brooks an Wenby? You know that just done? Necessary?
Speaker 4: Brooks in there pushing me. How many times did the
Speaker 4: official have to blot the whistle?
Speaker 2: Dylan Brooks versus Victor Wembin Yama Scuffle of the Year.
Speaker 2: I remember this game because we were at that game
Speaker 2: and it was one of the first times we actually
Speaker 2: saw Wenby say I'm not giving up the ball. This
Speaker 2: is mine. Kind of a vision of maybe what's to come.
Speaker 2: Do you think Spurs fans and our final nominee here
Speaker 2: in Scuffle of the Year on the San Antonio Spurs
Speaker 2: Annual Awards show with your boy Katie, you remember so
Speaker 2: hand the destroyer again. Something tells me he's going to
Speaker 2: turn into our Dennis Rodman, I think so. Check it
Speaker 2: out when he took on Jaden McDaniels of Minnesota.
Speaker 9: Jeff Benny fires quickly, no good offensive rebound, Chris Paul
Speaker 9: three two strong, and McDaniel's getting tied.
Speaker 7: Up a stuffle for the second straight night.
Speaker 9: No one's leaving the bench either.
Speaker 7: Way, and they'll settle this down.
Speaker 9: But McDaniels in Sohan getting heeded.
Speaker 2: That is our third nominee for Scuffle of the Year.
Speaker 2: Jeremy Sohan had a few of them this year, and
Speaker 2: that's what I love about Jeremy. Let's give a big
Speaker 2: shout out and applause to Jeremy so Hand. I think
Speaker 2: he's gonna be our enforcer and backbone. I really do.
Speaker 2: He found his mark on this team. You know that
Speaker 2: point guard position didn't work well for him, but guess what,
Speaker 2: now he's another guy that can dribble the ball for
Speaker 2: the Spurs. So Spurs fans, we have a good one
Speaker 2: here in San Antonio with Jeremy. We were gonna also
Speaker 2: give you a honorable mention when he also got in
Speaker 2: a scuffle in la as well. So Jeremy with three
Speaker 2: opportunities to get a Scuffle of the Year, I think
Speaker 2: he has a pretty good chance. And let's open it
Speaker 2: up right here. Scuffle of the Year award goes to
Speaker 2: Victor Winbinyama and Dylan Brooks. Not just because it's Wemby,
Speaker 2: but this was a pivotal moment in Victor Wembinyama's career
Speaker 2: since he's only been in the year, not even two years.
Speaker 2: This was the start of the season during Week one
Speaker 2: or two against the Rockets, and he wasn't going to
Speaker 2: take no ish. He got on the floor, he balled
Speaker 2: and balled out, and he wouldn't let go of the ball.
Speaker 2: He was like a kid on the playground saying, uh uh,
Speaker 2: I want you to know that I'm here, that I'm ready.
Speaker 2: I don't care if Dylan Brooks is trying to take it,
Speaker 2: Jayden McDaniels is trying to take it, Lebron James is
Speaker 2: going to try to take it. I'm holding this ball,
Speaker 2: holding my ground. And the crowd went absolutely ballistic in
Speaker 2: the Frost Bank Center. So congratulations to Victor Wembinyama. I
Speaker 2: guess we can send you know, Dylan Brooks his but
Speaker 2: let's just send him a garbage bag with junkin it.
Speaker 2: Let's just do that. We can do that. This also
Speaker 2: leads into our next award here, the take no Ish
Speaker 2: Award going to either Victor Winbinyama, Jeremy's so hand, or
Speaker 2: even caj killed in Johnson. When he gets in the
Speaker 2: game and he gets those big plays in the middle
Speaker 2: and drives to the basket. I love when he flexes
Speaker 2: on him and looks at him and nobody messes with kJ.
Speaker 2: I love it. The winner of the take no Ish
Speaker 2: Award here on the San Antonio Spurst Annual Podcast goes
Speaker 2: to Wow Jeremy so hand he better pick up one
Speaker 2: after having three scuffles this past year, right, I don't
Speaker 2: even think he had a black eye as well. I
Speaker 2: don't think. So let's move on to our next awards.
Speaker 2: Only a few lined up here in the rest of
Speaker 2: the show. Our sixth Man of the Year comes down
Speaker 2: to either Mamu, Julian Champenny or CAJ. A round of applause,
Speaker 2: and let's open this one up up and it goes
Speaker 2: to Keldon Johnson kJ. Of course it does. He passed
Speaker 2: uh Monogenobli this year for most points in a season
Speaker 2: off the bench, so congratulation to him kJ, sixth Man
Speaker 2: of the Year. We also have a hot Shot Award
Speaker 2: we're just gonna throw out to Devin Vassell. He had
Speaker 2: one of the hottest shooting moments in the month of March,
Speaker 2: and in San Antonio Spurs history, he had the most
Speaker 2: three pointers made in a month by a Spur in
Speaker 2: the organization in the month of March. So congratulations to
Speaker 2: Devin Visell. We're moving fast and furious here, but we're
Speaker 2: not going to hit any trees what too soon. Sorry.
Speaker 2: Rest in peace to my boy Paul Walker, who couldn't
Speaker 2: be here tonight. I know we're being silly on this
Speaker 2: award show, but that's what this is all about. It
Speaker 2: makes us different from other San Antonio Spurs podcasts. That's right.
Speaker 2: We had a little bit of human we're involved with
Speaker 2: it too. It's like sitting down with you boy. We're
Speaker 2: just rapping right talking about the Spurs and having a
Speaker 2: little bit of fun. Let's move into our next award,
Speaker 2: shall we. This is our Dirty Work Award. This is
Speaker 2: a little bit different than the Take no Ish Award, right,
Speaker 2: the dirty Work Award someone who's gonna go out there,
Speaker 2: get you rebounds, assists, set those picks, get a few
Speaker 2: points here and there. And there's quite a few Spurs

Speaker 2: he can steal this one. Away. The winner of the
Speaker 2: Dirty Work Award goes to Biz mack Byambo. We've got
Speaker 2: to give it to the Biz. Nobody beats the Biz.
Speaker 2: Come on now, Biz coming off of his couch earlier
Speaker 2: this season, the longtime vet here in the NBA fifteen years.
Speaker 2: This is another guy. I hope the Spurs will resign
Speaker 2: for another year or two. He'd be a great addition
Speaker 2: to that second or third team, somebody that can come
Speaker 2: in and give Wemby a little bit of time. Also
Speaker 2: set those screens go for rebounds, and he has the
Speaker 2: length in the middle for block shots. As we notice
Speaker 2: when Victor Wembin Yhama goes out of the game, what
Speaker 2: happens That middle's wide open and we get killed in
Speaker 2: the paint. So congratulations to Biz mac Piambo picking up
Speaker 2: this award as well. Only a few more awards left
Speaker 2: here in the show. We've got to give a big
Speaker 2: shout out to our van brand new award this year.

Speaker 2: season due to injury. Of course, on that list, the
Speaker 2: number one contestant Victor Winbin Yama, Greg Popovich, Trey Jones,

Speaker 2: the last minute entry and vote by yours truly listen,

Speaker 2: and editing here, ladies and gentlemen. The moment you guys
Speaker 2: have been waiting for Player of the Year. This seems
Speaker 2: pretty unanimous, but when you hear the people in the category,
Speaker 2: you might be like, hold up, wait a minute, I'm
Speaker 2: not sure. Let's run through the Player of the Year awards.
Speaker 2: Your first nominee, Chris Paul CP three, a man that
Speaker 2: led this team to more wins and continuing his winning
Speaker 2: ways no matter where he goes. Chris Paul, your first nominee,
Speaker 2: Keldon Johnson Player of the Year Awards, someone that should
Speaker 2: have won six Man of the Year if the dude
Speaker 2: from the Celtics didn't have such a hot year. I
Speaker 2: believe Kelden had a phenomenal year and is just getting
Speaker 2: better and just getting started in his prime, and gentlemen
Speaker 2: be ready for him to be a leader on this
Speaker 2: team even further in the future and possibly Player of
Speaker 2: the Year award winner here in San Antonio. Even though
Speaker 2: this gentleman only played half the year. Victor Winbinyama led
Speaker 2: the team in every major statistical category for individuals, points
Speaker 2: per game, rebounds, blocks. He led in the major categories
Speaker 2: in the limited time that he played twenty four points,
Speaker 2: eleven rebounds, almost four blocks. And guess what we predicted
Speaker 2: that we said he would average twenty four, twelve and four.
Speaker 2: Pretty dang close. Let's give us a no Stradamis of
Speaker 2: the Year award to me. I just know my boys, man,
Speaker 2: I know my spurs Man and final in this category.
Speaker 2: You've been waiting for him. Stefan Castle by far Rookie
Speaker 2: of the Year fifteen points almost the game right around
Speaker 2: that five assist clip. This man really was the guy
Speaker 2: with CP three late in the season that got to
Speaker 2: Spurs a lot of wins. This man was the heart
Speaker 2: and soul of this team. I believe towards the end
Speaker 2: of the year, in a quiet heart and soul of
Speaker 2: this team, he is up for Player of the Year
Speaker 2: with CP three kJ N Wemby and the winner goes
Speaker 2: to we knew it, Stefan Castle.
