At 7:00 p.m. French time, Spurs welcome Networks for his home first of the season. Already a special moment for Victor Vembanyama and his teammates, aired on Prime Video…but also marked by a nice surprise hanging from the ceiling of the Frost Bank Center.
The Texas franchise did indeed unveil a new banner in honor Gregg Popovichadorned with five stars (a symbol of his five NBA titles) and coach’s legendary nickname “Pop”, accompanied son overall record of 1,390 wins in the regular season.
No official ceremony for “El Jefe,” now sidelined after his stroke, but a colorful tribute to the man who shaped more than two decades of success in San Antonio.
In doing so, he joins the eternal figures of the franchise, whose names were already hanging from the ceiling of the room: Johnny Moore (00), Avery Johnson (6), Tony Parker (9), Bruce Bowen (12), James Silas (13), Manu Ginobili (20), Tim Duncan (21), Sean Elliott (32), George Gervin (44) et David Robinson (50).
