What a fantastic article. Two icons of basketball.

The Spurs are the only NBA team I will watch because they play as a team. The Spurs remind me of the old Celtic teams up thru the Bird era and the Knicks of Willis Reed, Clyde Frazier, Bill Bradley and the like.

Pop is the man. Maybe he should be the next Olympic coach.

I wonder if Becky Hammond is getting any looks as the next women's Olympic coach?

Becky Hammon needs to be a head coach, first... and volunteer some time with USA Basketball.

Popovich argued that recruiting was only half of it for UConn.

“Watch them play, what they do, how he makes them feel responsible for each other,” he said. “Then look at his stats, his record — you can’t make that stuff up.”

Best quote of the article, comes at the very end
