Draymond Green appreciates Gregg Popovich in an emotional video after the outcome of NBA icon

The veteran of Golden State Warriors, Draymond Green, was almost moved on Friday when he spoke from the trainer about the long -term retirement of San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich.

Popovich suffered a slight stroke in November, which caused him to move away from the trainer. Mitch Johnson took over as deputy head coach and was appointed full-time head coach of the Spurs on Friday.

At the Olympic Summer Games 2020 in Tokyo, which took place in 2021 due to Covid 19 pandemic, Popovich was the head coach of the United States men's basketball team.

After Popovich was the way, Kevin Durant, Jayson Tatum, Devin Booker and a variety of other stars won the gold medal.

Green called Popovich “one of the most incredible people” and realized that although he came across as a “common old man” for outsiders, he actually “the nicest person who they ever want to have nearby”.

Green also mentioned that he appreciated his hugs before the game with Popovich because he had the chance to play for him at the Olympic Games.

“I only wish I had one last time to hug him before a game on the sidelines,” said Green.

While Popovich's coaching career is over, he left the NBA as indelible traces, since with 1,422 victories of the regular seasonal coaching victories of all time and in the career playoff win as third at championships as head coach third.

Erik Spoelstra is now the longest distributed, reigning head coach of the NBA, who has trained Miami Heat since 2008.
