San Antonio Spurs legend Gregg Popovich last week called it a coaching career after 29 years at the helm, a decision made in light of health struggles that included a stroke back in November. And considering his reputation and achievements within the league, such news was, of course, met with celebration, deference and praise for the legendary coach, his beloved character, and all the accolades he collected on his journey.
Among those well-wishers were LeBron James and Steve Nash, who opened their most recent episode of podcast Mind the Game, released Thursday, with a heartfelt acknowledgement of Pop and this new chapter.
