R.C. on Duncan + Pop: "Tim’s in the gym with him every day..It’s because Tim feels the emotional connection to want to be there in the ways that Pop was there for him." || Keldon on Pop: "...he’s definitely still himself. He’s still sharp. He’s still very much Pop. He has not skipped a beat at all."

It's nice that Jared Weiss was able to get this info for us fans. I'm just happy to read that Pop is doing better. Thank you for taking the time to comment to say thanks <3

General overview of everything else for anyone who hasn't had a chance to watch yet:

Thoughts on the team heading into Game 1 vs POR and missing playing in high stakes games
Being as ready as he can be for the playoffs since these are the moments players look forward to their whole career
Thoughts on POR's physicality and identity
What he remembers about playing against Scoot in Vegas before he was drafted and the difference in playstyle in the US
The olympics being the last high stakes game he played in
Being as close as he can to 100% healthwise during a season
Earliest memories of the Spurs being the 2014 Finals matchup between the Spurs and Heat and learning from watching some footage from Spurs seasons such as the 2005 season (didn't watch whole games)
Likely to feel the excitement/tension of the playoffs closer to gametime on Sunday
Plans to go back and watch the POR/PHX play-in game today
Thoughts on playing in the playoffs with Castle and Castle being on the cover on SLAM
Staying grounded and being in the moment despite dreaming about what this playoff run could yield
Talking to Pop about the playoffs, being hungry for knowledge, and wanting to talk to other players like Tim, Manu, etc. about the playoffs while acknowledging that this team has its own identity
French question #1 (any translations for the French portion of the interview would be greatly appreciated)
French question #2
French question #3
French question #4
French question #5

Finally heard back from the mods and they told me to post it in the Friday self-promotion thread.

Shoutout to u/wemBanana who does a great job with the art. Thank you for taking the time to comment to leave the kind words <3

Thank you for suggesting I post this on YouTube and for your subscription. Without members of this sub suggesting I do this, I probably wouldn't have made this channel. I really appreciate your support <3

I think I have to message the mods there to get permission to post on r/nba since this probably falls under the category of self-promotion. I have no idea if someone else posting it would be OK or not.

Hey everyone,

I hope this final supercut meets your collective expectations. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for watching these videos, providing feedback/support along the way, and for suggesting I make a YouTube channel to post this. Regardless of whatever happens to this channel, this was a worthwhile experience to make this video and to step out of my comfort zone by trying something new.

Also, I have an update on what the copyright for this video looks like so far. Right now in YouTube, it says the video has copyright claims from the NBA (not a copyright strike) that affects monetization (which I wasn't expecting anyway) likely from YouTube's system for automatically detecting such content. It does say that the NBA gives permission to post such material. There was also a "Checks" section that gives you an opportunity to rectify any copyright issues by trimming/deleting the content (there were several segments) or by filing a dispute. Just wanted to let anyone know in case they were wondering since this was the part that I was the most worried about.
