Gregg Popovich's days on the sidelines coaching the San Antonio Spurs ended this season after the 76-year-old moved to the front office due to health issues. The longtime head coach is a beloved figure in the NBA at this point and his retirement from the coaching side of things has led to numerous players sharing never-before-heard stories about how Popovich changed their lives for the better.
Dejounte Murray joined that chorus earlier this week. The current New Orleans Pelicans point guard was drafted by the Spurs and spent the first six years of his career in San Antonio. He appeared on The Pivot podcast with Ryan Clark on Tuesday to discuss a variety of topics, including how far he's come from a rough upbringing in Seattle to the NBA. In the process Murray shared a remarkable, heartwarming story about Popovich.
