He has stroke level politics that’s for sure
Has pop ever won outside of having HOF talent? He didn’t do anything to build a team when kawhi left just tanked till wemby 😂😂
Gonna miss his interviews 😢😂
If any coach deserves a peaceful retirement it's Pop
This guy Smith his job is to talk. He could learn how to pronounce a name. So disrespectful and unprofessional
Health is wealth
Spurs had a horrible week 😢 hope both get healthy
Silver made the call… ts gonna be made into a movie, pop, wemby coming back next season + them getting flagg and getting a chip COME BACK TO THIS POST NEXT YEAR JUUUUUNE
Looks like we now know where Flagg will land on draft day.
Pop is the best. We love you. Wish you all the best for your recovery. ❤
I honestly just hope he walks into the sunset and spends time with his family. He’s already cemented one of the greatest legacies in the history of basketball. Keep your health, Pop.
Illuminati sacrifice!!
coach Pop is saying to Wemby we will get Cooper Flagg in this years NbA draft 😅😅😅…
jokes aside, get well soon to Coach Pop and Wemby
Just doubled check that Pop is 76
Maybe this is Pop's "distraction." He lost his wife not too long ago. I would think that his life is about his wife, first and foremost, but then basketball is a close second. He probably doesn't want to lose both just yet.
Good for him 🎉
He gave everything to the game of basketball: no need to come back, just enjoy the rest of your life
Do not invision Pop wanting a token role.
Obviously SAS has no respect for wembanyama because he can’t be bothered to pronounce his name properly. WEM-BAN-YA-MA not wembanyana. Or i suspect SAS just doesnt read that well. It’s all there in the letters dude.
The fact that no one is saying he needs to retire is crazy to me
it’s been 2 years stephen a still cant pronounce WembanyaMa right
Pop will be back for one more season. One more championship. Nah, id love to see him finish it off like that though.
I can totally see Michael Keaton playing Pop if they ever decide to do a movie about him.
Puff will be back this season, tho. FREE DIDDY!!!!!
We all know Pop wants to coach Wemby so bad.. but just call it a career man live the rest of your life in comfort with your family.
Enjoy retirement.
As much as I love to see Pop on the sideline, I prefer he retires and enjoys the game as a fan. Don't wanna push him too hard, that would be selfish. We want to have him around some more. Leave the sideline and enjoy life Pop
Spurs needed to move on years ago to a new coach.
And this Hall of Fame coach needs to not coach but stay involved with the game. It's in his DNA. Forget a fitting end, coaching should be over. Hardest part is letting go. Like kobe his injury allowed him to focus on things not basketball and stamped his love of basketball without being a player on the court.
Get well soon and I hope you retire from the day to day of coaching find another love that keeps you young.
Pop should have left years ago retired with Duncan now no wife whats the point
The COVID shots????
Pop, don’t rush a comeback, if you are considering it. Take your time, the game thanks you for all you’ve done and all you’ll do in the future
Goodbye ! Take your asinine political agendas with you !
With all due respect maybe it’s time to retire eh?
He’ll be back
A stroke here, a blood clot there …. and never the wiser. Talk about ignorant and gullible.
How convenient, Wemby goes down and then Pop goes down. Sorry NBA you tried to fix it but your plan failed.
He suffered a stroke last year??? WHAT ! He needs to enjoy life like Phil Jackson already. If you experience pain doing your passion, time to go
Pray for them to God in Jesus Name! Jesus Christ is the Way the Truth and the Life and no one comes to the Father except through Jesus! I know this is random, and I'm not a bot. I just wanna share something that's worth sharing!!! Jesus Christ saved my life on earth from suicide and for eternity in Heaven! Repent! Have Faith! Pray! Get Baptized in Jesus Name! Read the Bible! ✝ 🙌 ❤💪🙏
His TDS caught up with him
Does shams ever break anything or just report things we already know
vaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Losing Wemby and Pop was bad for the season .. hopefully can nab that 1st overall pick and get Flagg
Pop he needs to roll off n to the sunset he an all time great
TDS got the best of him!
😂😂😂TDS Karma comes quick. Shouldnt of sold out America with you're dumb politics. Hes responsible for the decline on nba numbers
