对于一位拥有如此伟大职业生涯的人，你该说些什么呢？
过去两天，我都在圣安东尼奥的“快乐周”音乐节上连续工作了12个小时。错过过去12个小时的马刺新闻，感觉就像与世隔绝了一个月。
三天前，马刺队齐聚一堂，为本年度NBA最佳新秀奖得主斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)庆祝。
这次聚会汇集了大卫·罗宾逊(David Robinson)、蒂姆·邓肯(Tim Duncan)、维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)、米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)、R.C.布福德(R. C. Buford)、达龙·福克斯(De’Aaron Fox)、凯尔登·约翰逊(Keldon Johnson)、莱利·米尼克斯(Riley Minix)、布莱恩·莱特(Brian Wright)、卡斯尔的家人，以及马刺的训练团队成员。
一个明显的缺席者是格雷格·波波维奇(Gregg Popovich)。
昨天，在执教了29个赛季之后，波波维奇退休了。
马刺队发布了这段视频。
马刺队一言不发，却表达了一切。
“谢谢你，波波维奇教练。我们期待着我们共同的下一个篇章。”——这是视频中唯一出现的文字。但这些画面是对这位在篮球运动史上留下不可磨灭印记的人的恰当致敬。

Open Thread: A beautiful tribute to Gregg Popovich
What do you say to the man with a career of his magnitude?
I spent the last two days working twelve hour shifts at La Semana Alegre, a music festival associated with Fiesta. Missing the last twelve hours of Spurs news is like living under a rock for a month.
Three days ago the Spurs gathered to honor Stephon Castle, the recipient of this year’s NBA Rookie of the Year award.
The gathering brought together David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Victor Wembanyama, Mitch Johnson, R. C. Buford, De’Aaron Fox, Keldon Johnson, Riley Minix, Brian Wright, Castle’s family, and a practice facility for of Spurs employees,
One noticeable absence was Gregg Popovich.
Yesterday, after twenty-nine season, Pop retired.
The Spurs released this video.
Without a word of dialogue, the Spurs said it all.
“Thank you, Coach Pop. We look forward to our next chapter together” — the only words in print in the video. But the images are an appropriate tribute to the man whose left an indelible imprint on the sport of basketball.
