Congrats to the Spurs

Congrats to Spurs for winning the NBA championship tonight! I'm a Spurs fan because I think Gregg Popovich is a great guy. I met him back in 1980 when being an NBA coach was nowhere on the horizon. Larry Brown was how he got into the NBA and so playing against him must have been bittersweet. I thought it was just like the Popovich I remember to state his gratitude toward Larry as the first thing he said when he spoke on TV after winning. There are still some class acts around!
