The 2023 Naismith Hall of Fame ceremony was one for people who care about more than just the game of basketball. With two players, and two iconic coaches entering on the same night, the Spurs tree dominated the evening, and set the stage for talk of just about anything but basketball. What better way to prepare for the next chapter, than by reflecting on the journey that set the stage so well?
Gregg Popovich, Tony Parker, Becky Hammon and Pau Gasol were inducted into the Naismith Hall of Fame over the weekend. While Popovich remains with the team, Parker, Hammon and Gasol all have moved on and left behind an era of Spurs basketball that was the best in the franchises history.
