There was plenty of love on display for the San Antonio Spurs during the 2023 enshrinement ceremony at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. San Antonio head coach Gregg Popovich was honored, along with Tony Parker, coach Becky Hammon, and Pau Gasol. The entire weekend was full of stories and praise for these members of the Spurs family, and plenty of current and former Spurs were in attendance to celebrate.
During the enshrinement event for the Class of 2023, Spurs Wire caught up with former Spur and 2014 NBA champion Boris Diaw. Diaw spent four seasons in San Antonio, and served as a key role player during the club’s 2014 title run. Diaw presently serves as the president of Metropolitans 92, Victor Wembanyama’s former club. He spoke about his time with the Spurs, coach Popovich, and fellow Frenchman Tony Parker.
“It was an amazing era.” Diaw said. “The last three Hall of Fame classes we’ve had players from the Spurs. You can see how many great people came from this great organization.”
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich delivered a classic one-liner before offering a sincere message when asked why he continues to return to the San Antonio sidelines each year. https://t.co/715GC2Dxic
