Surprised no mention of this yet, so I'll do it:
Popovich just hired Becky Hammon to be a full-time assistant coach for the Spurs. Will be on the bench, in practice, and traveling with the team. The full enchilada.
For those who don't know her, she was a 16-year WNBA player and 6-time All-Star. Just retired from WNBA because of knee issues, had been mentoring with the Spurs in her off-season.
Good hire, really look forward to watching her. Duncan, Parker, Nowitzki, and Kobe have already voiced their strong support.
Next up? Maybe Natalie Nakase, who just spent 10-days working for the Clippers as an assistant coach in Vegas. She's been working hard for it, too.
After all, as Daryl Morey once said, "I find it hard to believe that all of the best and smartest thinkers in basketball just happen to share the same chromosome."
