Ahmad Rashad thought Gregg Popovich’s Hall of Fame speech was ending, but the Spurs head coach had other ideas.
Then, Popovich proceeded to spend the next five minutes describing his relationships with Tony Parker, Tim Duncan, David Robinson and Manu Ginobili, who all sat beside him on the stage in Springfield, Mass.
Popovich added that he had an agreement with Robinson that if he didn’t “take the name of the Lord in vain,” the star center would tolerate the coach. Popovich just wanted some acknowledgement from Duncan at times, some form of “self-satisfaction” or nodding of the head to make Popovich think his coaching resonated with the star, he joked as Duncan nodded his head on the stage.
