Final weekend, the Naismith Basketball Corridor of Fame inducted the San Antonio Spurs’ head coach Gregg Popovich in addition to Tony Parker.
Parker’s induction is the ultimate piece of the Huge 3, however Popovich is the icing on the cake. The quartet of Pop, Tony, Tim Duncan, and Manu Ginobili outlined the Spurs within the twenty first century. Though the Spurs tradition was launched with Gervin and given everlasting roots by David Robinson, the greatness of the Spurs solidified throughout that pivotal Huge 3 period.
My query — who would be the subsequent former (or present) member of the Spurs to grow to be a member of the Corridor of Fame? Odds are the subsequent member can be somebody like Pau Gasol, who was not drafted by the Spurs, however relatively handed by means of throughout his profession.
Three lifelong members of the Spurs (I’m ignoring Parker’s closing season) have now been enshrined. Is there one other draftee who might play his whole profession in San Antonio, or at the very least a big sufficient chunk that San Antonio might declare him predominantly as a Spur?
I do know we’re all hoping Victor Wembanyama might be that man. Jeremy Sochan additionally has the makings of a longitudinal member of the Silver & Black, however that will be fairly a while from now.
There doesn’t appear to be a primary poll sort man, however Kawhi Leonard and DeMar DeRozan come to thoughts as potentials.
Dejounte Murray, Derrick White, Keldon Johnson…we’ve had some nice draft picks in the previous couple of seasons, however will they make the type of contributions that result in a historic spot within the historical past of the sport?
