The NBA Hall of Fame inducted the 2023 class over the weekend.
This class was full of many monumental figures in basketball history.
Amongst the many great players that were inducted, we even had one of the greatest coaches of all time receive the honor.
San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich finally entered the Hall in the 2023 class.
Popovich talked in his speech about many of the great players he was able to coach.
There were four that sat next to him as he did his speech.
David Robinson, Tony Parker, Tim Duncan, and Manu Ginobili all shared the stage with Pop.
Popovich talked about how his job is all about relationships.

All four of those players are Hall of Famers and well deserving of the honor.
Popovich shared a story about each one of his former players and how they impacted his career.
The Spurs have won five championships under Popovich and he has a career record of 1366-761.
Even at the age of 74, Pop has shown no signs of slowing down.
He just signed a contract extension to continue coaching the Spurs for at least five more seasons.
Even though the Spurs are in a rebuild, Popovich still loves coaching.
He has had success coaching players from Europe.
He now gets the chance to coach Victor Wembanyama who is one of the best prospects since LeBron James.
Even though Popovich is on the back end of his career, he can still bring wisdom to the next generation of players.
