各位刺蜜们，节日快乐。希望你们度过了一个愉快的感恩节（如果你们也过这个节日的话）。
前几天我在网上看到了这个，想和大家分享一下。
这只是众多瞬间中的一小部分，正是这些瞬间让波波维奇成为了圣安东尼奥最受爱戴的人物之一。
他的执教能力出类拔萃，并以篮球闻名于世，但真正让他成为传奇的，是他在场下的为人之道和他所坚守的信念。他对人际关系的重视以及他的幽默感，都着实鼓舞人心。
我尤其喜欢沙克 (Shaq) 意识到波波维奇在比赛开始时捉弄他后的那个表情。我找到了那段视频，它能解释为什么这一幕如此好笑。
沙克曾将那种犯规战术形容为“懦夫行径”。波波维奇没有选择公开回怼，而是用幽默化解了尴尬，并从这位传奇中锋脸上收获了笑容。
我同样很敬佩波波维奇就球迷持续对科怀·伦纳德 (Kawhi Leonard) 报以嘘声一事而向现场观众喊话。观众们对此并不买账，反而在整场比赛中报以了更响亮的嘘声。不止一条评论认为波波维奇的做法有些越界，但这番话发人深省地提醒着我们：篮球终究是一场比赛，大多数球员从童年时代就开始同场竞技，彼此之间有着更深的交情，而我们所有人都应该做得更好一些。
这件事也凸显出，波波维奇和马刺队早已释怀，而许多球迷却仍未放下。我们总是倾向于将对手球员视为漫画书中的反派，而不是他们作为运动员的本来面目。
谢谢你，波波维奇。感谢你带来的所有回忆、所有冠军、所有伟大，但最重要的是，感谢你一直坚持做自己。
马刺队在周三赢得了比赛，如果今晚再取一胜，他们将锁定在拉斯维加斯举办的NBA阿联酋航空杯的参赛资格。
马刺加油！

Open Thread: A little gratitude for Gregg Popovich
Happy holidays, Pounders. I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving (for those who partook).
I saw this online the other day and just wanted to share.
These are just a few of the many, many moments that made Pop one of the most beloved figures in San Antonio.
He’s excelled at coaching and is known for basketball, but it was who he was and what he stood for off the court that has made him larger than life. His focus on relationships and his sense of humor truly inspire.
I particularly love Shaq’s expression when he realized Pop is pranking him at the start of the game. I found the clip that helped explain why it was so funny.
Shaq described the fouling technique as “cowardly.” Instead of starting a public argument, Pop made light of it and got a smile from the legendary big man.
I also respect Pop’s addressing the crowd regarding the consistent booing of Kawhi Leonard. It didn;t sit well with the crowd as they booed louder through the duration of the. game. More than a few comments stated Pop was out of line, but it was a poignant reminder that basketball is a game, most of the players know each other on a deeper level as competition begins in childhood, and we could all be a little better.
It also underscored that Pop and the Spurs had moved on where many fans hadn’t. We tend to treat opposing players as comic book villains and not the athletes they are.
Thanks, Pop. For all the memories, the titles, the greatness, but mostly for being you.
The Spurs won on Wednesday, a win tonight will lock them in to contend in the NBA Emirates Cup in Las Vegas.
Go Spurs Go!
