Tony Parker and Gregg Popovich address reporters at the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame media session.– The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2023 met with the media Friday at the Mohegan Sun Cabaret Theatre.Head Coach Gregg Popovich, Class of 2023, will be presented by four of his former players -- David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, and Tony Parker.
“I get to know them for a very long time and get close to their families, their children. My grandchildren go to school with Tim Duncan’s children, you know, so it’s pretty special in that regard,” Popovich said. “So, the effect they have on me is it gives me much more meaning than teaching somebody how to go back door. To be very honest with you, you know, it’s beyond basketball. And I think that’s what sustains us as we move through life.
“That’s hard to believe,” Parker said. “To be the very first, it feels surreal, to be honest with you. I never thought somebody like me can experience something like that and it has been unbelievable the last two weeks working on my speech and being nostalgic. And finally realizing everything that we accomplish with the Spurs has been very special. And to share that with my family, with my friends.
