NBA传奇球星史蒂夫·纳什 (Steve Nash) 与勒布朗·詹姆斯 (LeBron James) 合作推出了一档名为《Mind the Game》的播客节目。在节目中，两人畅聊各类话题，无所不谈。他们的交流风格轻松幽默，时而也会聊到一些意想不到的奇特话题。
在最近一期节目中，纳什向勒布朗问起了 2007 年 NBA 总决赛对阵马刺的往事。

在这次交流中，纳什问道，波波 (Pop) 会不会是一名间谍。这虽是个有趣的奇思妙想，但也并非完全是空穴来风。
1970年，格雷格·波波维奇 (Gregg Popovich) 毕业于美国空军学院，并获得了苏联研究的学士学位。他曾考虑加入中央情报局 (CIA)，并且在投身篮球事业前，最初接受了空军的情报培训。
就像他的爱徒蒂姆·邓肯 (Tim Duncan) 一样，他们两人最初都未曾打算进入篮球界，但他们的最终选择，对篮球世界而言无疑是幸事一桩。

Open Thread: Steve Nash wonders aloud if Gregg Popovich could have been a spy
NBA greats Steve Nash and LeBron James have a podcast called Mind the Game. On it, the two banter about a bevy of topics. Their relationship is light and humorous and from time to time their conversations lead down some strange avenues.
On this occasion, Nash asked LeBron about playing against the Spurs in the 2007 NBA Finals.

In the exchange, Nash asks of Pop could be a spy. It’s a funny musing, but not completely off base.
In 1970, Gregg Popovich graduated from the United States Air Force Academy with a bachelor’s degree in Soviet studies. He considered joining the CIA and initially underwent Air Force intelligence training before moving into basketball.
Like his protege Tim Duncan, neither initially intended to land in the basketball world, but better for ehehe basketball world that they did.
