Question: Who is funnier, Timmy or Kawhi?
TP: Timmy or Kawhi? [Laughs] They both don't talk. They both are very shy. Kawhi doesn't say much, and Timmy, it takes a long time to get to know him, but once you get to know him, Timmy is funnier for sure. I think Kawhi is still very shy, it's only his third year, so he does not talk that much.

Question: Tony, What is your favorite thing to do in San Antonio
TP: Spend time with my family, and go to restaurants and movies. Simple stuff. I like San Antonio because it's not too small, it's not too big, and the people are very friendly. I like the lifestyle here, there is always nice weather and it puts you in a good mood.

Question: Je sais que jouer pour ton pays a toujours été important pour toi. Est-ce qu'il est difficile physiquement pour toi de jouer durant l'été rendu à ton âge ?

TP: Yeah, I am getting older, but I still love to play every summer. As long as my body feels good, I love playing for my country and I will go back every summer.

Question: Quel est pour toi une semaine d'entrainement classique avec les Spurs, et quel doit être pour toi la fréquence d'entrainement par semaine pour progresser? Bravo à l'équipe de France, c'est un véritable rêve que vous nous avez offert contre l'Espagne; quel fierté! Bonne saison outre atlantique. (What is for you a week of classical training with the Spurs, and what should be for you the frequency of training per week for progress? Congratulations to the team of France, it is a dream that you have given us against Spain, what pride! Good season across the Atlantic.)
TP: We practice once a day. Because we have a veteran team, Coach Pop doesn't kill us at practice. So, we only practice about an hour a day. It's not too bad.

Question: Salut Tony, tous les enfants de l'école française d'Austin te félicitent pour votre titre européen! On serait ravis de vous avoir parmi nous pour vous poser pleins de questions à ce sujet! (Hi Tony, all children in the French school of Austin welcome you for your European title! We would love to have you among us to ask you lots of questions about it!) Which defense system rules do you prefer the most? Which one do you think represent more the spirit of basketball? The defense with the American rules or the European rules???? Thank you.
TP: I like both European basketball and American basketball. I really enjoy playing the FIBA rules during the summer, that's why I go back to play for my country. I take a lot of pride in playing for my country. I obviously love the NBA too. I don't really have a favorite. It's very different, but at the same time it's still basketball.
