Saturday Morning Cartoons: Ode to Pop
Thunder fun for the weekend.
I've never been first in line to praise Gregg Popovich, but one reason he doesn't lack in praise is that he's truly a basketball legend. Now that he's retiring from head coaching and still dealing with some long-term health concerns, let me be somewhere in line to sincerely wish him the best and recognize his unmatched contributions to the game we love.
Not only has Pop raised the bar for the NBA as a competitor and innovator from both the sidelines and the front office, but his view of the sport and model of leadership are both credited for much of the foundational strengths that Sam Presti cites as essential to the Thunder's success.
