CP3 on the fans + team this season: “The fans here are unbelievable…I got a chance to see more of the city, more of the people, the facility, the staff, the coaches, R.C. is one of one. I really got a chance to see why the Spurs have been the Spurs for so long.”

2. Would absolutely love for him to stay as our backup PG next season. Sadly it may not happen though because he’d probably be getting paid even less than his current contract, he wouldn’t be starting, and he’d be away from home. Even if he chooses to retire or go to another team or whatever next season, I’m still happy he was a Spur. I feel like he really helped the team, especially Castle a lot.

3. watched his whole press conference, man what a switched on dude his love for the sport and the culture really comes through, we were insanely lucky to have him for even one season. Would love him back but if his path leads elsewhere I think his imprint on this team will stick around for years to come

4. I will openly admit I used to absolutely hate CP3 and now I just have nothing but love and the upmost respect for this guy. Even if he doesn’t come back, thank you for all of the leadership and coaching you’ve added to our culture #gsg
