NBA历史上胜场最多的教练可能会迎接来自远近的旅客。
格雷格·波波维奇(Gregg Popovich)可能已经退休，但赞誉还在不断涌来。
周三，圣安东尼奥市议员曼尼·佩莱兹(Manny Pelaez)发起了一项讨论，提议以这位前马刺队主教练的名字命名圣安东尼奥国际机场，以此来表彰他。
“波波维奇教练对圣安东尼奥的影响是不可估量的，”佩莱兹在他的提案中写道。
希望观看马刺队比赛的篮球迷在抵达圣安东尼奥时，可能会听到“欢迎来到圣安东尼奥格雷格·波波维奇国际机场”的声音。
该提案需要治理委员会的批准，然后才能提交给市议会。
其他四名市议员也签署了该议案，包括苏赫·考尔(Sukh Kaur)、约翰·科雷吉(John Courage)、阿德里安娜·罗查·加西亚(Adriana Rocha Garcia)和特里·卡斯蒂略(Terri Castillo)。
佩莱兹、科雷吉和罗查·加西亚将在未来几周内任期届满而离开市议会，因此将无法参与最终投票。考尔议员目前正在参加重新选举的决胜轮。
马克·怀特(Marc Whyte)议员表示：“波波教练三十年来一直是圣安东尼奥社区不可或缺的一部分。我当然有兴趣与我的同事以及圣安东尼奥的居民讨论[更名事宜]。”
考虑到波波对这座城市的影响，获得支持的想法并非遥不可及。

Open Thread: San Antonio City Council considers naming the airport in honor of Gregg Popovich
The winningest coach in NBA history could be welcoming travelers from near and far.
Gregg Popovich may have retired but the accolades keep coming.
On Wednesday, San Antonio City Councilman Manny Pelaez started a discussion to honor the former Spurs head coach by adding his name to San Antonio International Airport.
“Coach Popovich’s impact on San Antonio is immeasurable,” Pelaez wrote in his request.
Basketball fans landing in San Antonio in hopes of catching a Spurs game could be hearing “Welcome to San Antonio Gregg Popovich International Airport” upon landing in the Alamo City.
The request requires approval by the Governance Committee. Then it can be passed on to the council.
Four other councilmembers signed on to the Council Consideration Request, including Sukh Kaur, John Courage, Adriana Rocha Garcia, and Terri Castillo.
Pelaez, Courage and Rocha Garcia are exiting council as their terms expire in coming weeks and won’t be present for a deciding vote. Councilwoman Kaur is currently in the runoff for re-election.
Councilman Marc Whyte stated, “Coach Pop has been an integral part of the San Antonio community for three decades. I’m certainly interested in discussing [the name change] with my colleagues as well as the residents of San Antonio.”
Knowing Pop’s impact on the city, it isn’t too farfetched an idea to gain support.
