Thank You Coach Pop
My love for the Spurs and basketball was a catalyst for my creative entrepreneurial journey.
I’ve always had a deep passion for talking about basketball and enjoyed creating video highlight edits of the Spurs. Eventually, people saw my creations and wanted to pay me for something I was already doing for fun, opening my eyes to even more possibilities.
Now, after 29 years, as Coach Pop moves on from being the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, I’m filled with similar feelings of how I felt when my favorite player of all time, Tim Duncan, retired.
While I haven’t had the opportunity of meeting Pop in person yet, I was lucky enough to watch his brilliance unfold by closely following his journey of leading the Spurs to 5 championships, and many other accolades, while coaching so many phenomenal players throughout his incredible career.
As I reflect on these memories and the positive impact Coach Pop has had on my life, I can’t help but feel so lucky to have witnessed his legendary coaching career in my lifetime.
The Spurs continue to be a huge part of my journey, and while I could talk and write about them forever, for now, I just want to say - thank you, Coach Pop.
