    Wow, sorry to hear. If he wants, Pop deserves to move into the front office where he can be with the team and have their support but not have to deal with Kawhi and a rebuild. I get it if he retires, but sometimes retiring just opens up too much of a void.

    Oh man sad news for Pop and the Spurs.

    I hope he recovers quick and takes it all out on GSW to even up the series and take it to 7 just for his wife.

    Pathetic. I'm sure that's front and center on his mind right now. Why not take it all the way and win the championship for his wife? How old are you, 12?

    Actually, I really feel sad for Pops for losing someone that he was with for over 4 decades. That isn’t really something you can get over quickly. However, getting back to work and being active can help ease the mind than being alone.

    I didn’t mean anything by my post, even said it was bad news initially and hopes him quick recovery and beat the warriors.

    Do you care so much about him that you hope he wins it all, beating the Rockets along the way, but bringing maximum happiness to his family during this difficult time? Or nah, bc that conflicts with your desires?
