It’s no secret that rare exception, the San Antonio Spurs have always been a tightly knit group, and that in turn has a played a huge role in their dynastic success over the last two decades. Even as the dynasty has completely turned over to a new set of players this season, the success and comradely continues in no small part thanks to the one common denominator throughout it all: Gregg Popovich.
Everyone knows that Pop, who has become a well renowned connoisseur of wine and fine cuisine, loves his team dinners. They are bonding opportunities for the players and a chance to relax and hang out in a different environment than work: something anyone in any work field would tell you is good for business and overall workplace mentality.
