A quick exchange between Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle and Spurs play-by-play announcer Jacob Tobey.
Tobey asked Castle about his favorite dunk, favorite game this season, favorite city, favorite piece of advise, and favorite on court celebration.
There should be little surprise that Castle’s most memorable dunk was the East Bay from the NBA All-Star Weekend dunk contest.
He stated his favorite game was against Golden State, a sign of respect to Harrison Barnes who hot the buzzer-beater that stole game out from under the Warriors.
His favorite city was Toronto. Personally, I don’t think as a member of the Spurs this year you could beat the trip to Paris, but that’s just me.
Castle didn’t say who gave him the advise, but “don’t get too low” is sage wisdom for a young player. With Castle’s basketball IQ and talent, he’s staged up for a long career. Seeing through and pushing past negativity will serve him well.
Castle’s celly is “spray it down.” I’ll admit, I am 51 and had to look up “celly.” Simply enough, it means celebration. But my age is not the only one confused, my autocorrect turned it into “belly” three times before it stuck.
