Last Monday, the Spurs showcased 2014 Spurs NBA Champion Boris Diaw at the Frost Bank Center during their matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. He treated the crowd to a reenactment of his now iconic photo.
On Wednesday night, the Portland Trail Blazers came to town, bringing back former players Sidy Cissoko, Blake Wesley, and head coach Tiago Splitter, another member of the Spurs 2014 NBA Championship.
The night before, both Diaw and Splitter met
up with 4x NBA Champion and Spurs legend Manu Ginobili for dinner at a local restaurant.
During Splitter’s pregame presser, Splitter shared about the reunion.
“It was great. Seeing my friends and talk a little bit about life, and basketball, get an update on what they are doing. You know, we’re good friends. Of course — many, many battles together.”
Splitter added that Boris picked up the check “because I took the one before that…and it was a French restaurant.”
The three have been great friends for many years. At the time the Spurs won that 2014 title, they were often a quartet with Patty Mills. The response to the post was such that Ginobili added a comment, “For those asking @Patty_Mills didn’t join us since the guy is hooping in Spain. Too far! #NoMoreFrogging”
With so many teammates coming over the years, it is special to see how these guys have continued to seek one another out.
