Coach Popovich always compliments other coaches but hates getting attention back. I'm giving him no choice now. A mega-thread with quotes from nearly every current NBA head coach:
"I'll never forget, you wrote me a handwritten note when we won the championship. What you and your organization did at my last game, I'll forever be grateful. Thank you, my friend.
"There's no player in the league that everybody talks about [more] after the game. Me and Harrison [Barnes] were on our flight talking about how cool it's going to be at this point in our careers to get a chance to appreciate him day in and out."
- Chris Paul on Wembanyama
6'10 Rashard Lewis shot 38.6% from 3 when not many bigs were shooting like that. Underrated pickup for the Spurs to bring him in as a player development coach.
The fact that Tim Duncan was walking around with a camcorder dating back to the 1999 Championship wasn't a coincidence.
"I was always taking pictures. Things were available to him -- cameras, fun stuff. He's a big tech head. He wanted to start filming things. He enjoyed it."
Asked Pop about the possibility of increasing Wemby's playing time down the stretch. He said Victor won't play "Sprewell minutes" but "he's got to get up over 30."
