圣安东尼奥电 – 圣安东尼奥马刺队揭晓了一面旨在致敬格雷格·波波维奇 (Gregg Popovich) 的荣誉旗帜。而正如人们所预料的那样,他们以一种十分低调的方式完成了这一切。

周日,马刺正在进行主场揭幕战,球迷们在此时第一次看到了这面全新的旗帜。旗帜升起时并未举办任何公开仪式,这清晰地表明波波维奇不希望有任何铺张的庆祝活动。

“这非常‘波波维奇’,”马刺主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 说道。“显然,能让他与那群传奇人物并列,是何等的荣耀。作为主教练执教29年,为这支球队效力的时间则更长,还赢得了五次总冠军,这些成就无需赘言。”

“你在这里看到或听到的关于这支球队的一切,都深深烙上了他的印记。他对无数事情所付出的奉献、时间和精力,许多甚至从未公之于众,或是连球队内部的人都未曾知晓——球员们、每件事的重要性、我们做事的方式、对细节的关注、始终如一的坚持,以及我们为之付出的热爱与心血。”

这面旗帜与大卫·罗宾逊 (David Robinson) 的50号、肖恩·埃利奥特 (Sean Elliott) 的32号、埃弗里·约翰逊 (Avery Johnson) 的6号、布鲁斯·鲍文 (Bruce Bowen) 的12号、蒂姆·邓肯 (Tim Duncan) 的21号、马努·吉诺比利 (Manu Ginobili) 的20号以及托尼·帕克 (Tony Parker) 的9号球衣并列悬挂。

没有盛大的庆典,球迷们抬头望向霜冻银行中心的穹顶,看到了一面简洁的白色旗帜,上面写着“波波 1,390”,以此向他创下NBA历史纪录的执教胜场数致敬。除了马刺队标外,旗帜顶部还有五颗星,象征着波波维奇为这支曾经孱弱的球队带来的五座总冠军奖杯,旗帜底部则写着“名人堂”,以纪念他在2023年入选。

波波维奇于五月辞去马刺主教练一职,结束了他长达三十年的执教生涯。在此期间,他成为了联盟的历史胜场王,并入选了篮球名人堂。他于2024年11月2日在球队主场突发中风,此后便再未执教,但他仍以球队总裁的身份留在队中。

约翰逊上赛季以代理主帅身份带队后,于今年五月被正式提升为主教练。

“多年来,我以许多不同的角色有幸得到(波波维奇的领导),我们的关系也随着时间的推移而不断加深,”约翰逊说。“但他在无数时刻、无数场合下,为太多人扮演了这样的角色。这无疑是他的超能力之一。”

Spurs quietly unveil banner to honor Gregg Popovich’s career

SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Spurs have unveiled a banner celebrating Gregg Popovich. Fittingly, they did it quietly.

The Spurs were playing their home opener on Sunday when fans saw the new banner for the first time. There was no public ceremony when the banner was hoisted, a clear indicator that Popovich did not want any lavish celebration.

“Very Pop-esque,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. "Obviously, what an honor to have him included with that group. Can’t say enough in terms of 29 years as the head coach, longer with the organization, five championships.

“Everything that you see here or have heard regarding this organization, he has his handprints all over it. Just the amount of dedication, time and energy he put into so many things that [are] never for public consumption or are even known by people in the organization – the players, the importance of everything, how we do everything, the attention to detail, the consistency, the love, blood sweat and tears we put into it.”

The banner hangs alongside David Robinson’s No. 50, Sean Elliott’s No. 32, Avery Johnson’s No. 6, Bruce Bowen’s No. 12, Tim Duncan’s No. 21, Manu Ginobili’s No. 20 and Tony Parker’s No. 9.

Instead of grand fanfare, fans looked up to the rafters of the Frost Bank Center to see a simple white banner that read, “Pop 1,390,” in tribute to his NBA-record career coaching victories. In addition to the Spurs logo, there are five stars atop the banner signifying the five championships Popovich brought to a once-futile franchise, and the bottom of the banner says “Hall of Fame” in honor of his 2023 induction.

Popovich stepped down as coach of the Spurs in May, ending a three-decade run that saw him become the league’s all-time wins leader and earn induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame. He had a stroke at the team’s arena on Nov. 2, 2024, and did not coach again, though he remains with the team as president.

Johnson was promoted to head coach in May after leading the team last season on an interim basis.

“I’ve been blessed to have [Popovich’s leadership] now for years in a lot of different roles and as our relationship has grown over time,” Johnson said. “But he’s been that for so many people in so many moments and times and situations. It’s one of his special powers for sure.”
