San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich is one of the headline members of 2023 class for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame alongside Tony Parker, Becky Hammon, Pau Gasol, and several others. The five-time NBA champion will continue to coach the Spurs for the foreseeable future after inking a five-year extension with San Antonio earlier this summer.
Regardless, Coach Pop is headed to the Hoops Hall, and his peers around the NBA have spent the weeks and days leading up to the ceremony sharing their admiration for Popovich. Among the dozens and dozens of players he has helped mentor over the years, Popovich has also influenced many of the most prominent head coaches past and present in the league.
To celebrate Gregg Popovich’s induction into the basketball hall of fame, the NBA Coach’s Association put together a video of different coaches sharing the admiration and gratitude for Popovich. Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, and many other familiar faces lent their voices to a touching and fitting chorus of praise.
