Spurs head coach handover ceremony! Popovich delivered a humorous speech: I am not the head coach, I am the boss
7:31pm, 12 May 2025【Basketball】
A few days ago, Popovich stepped down as Spurs head coach for 29 years, but he did not retire, but instead transformed into full-time operational president. The team's new coach is replaced by acting coach Mickey Johnson, who is the successor chosen by Popo.
Just today, the Spurs held a press conference for the inauguration ceremony of the new coach. Bobo and a number of disciples came to participate in the new coach, including Ginobili and Duncan, who have been retired for many years, all of them. Dezhangtai Murray, who once played for the Spurs and now plays for the Pelicans, is also here.
It is worth mentioning that this is the first public appearance after Bobo's stroke. Although Bobo looks very energetic, he is not very moved and walks slowly. He needs Ginobili and Duncan to support him when he comes to the stage.
At the press conference, Bobo delivered a speech, congratulating Mickey on his dream come true and becoming the head coach. He pointed out that Mickey has been here for 9 years and is very grateful to Mickey for his years of hard work.
Bobo emphasized that the Spurs culture was established by people like David. We are fortunate to have the help of many outstanding players, staff and managers. The team will continue my will and spirit. This is where the Spurs culture lies. Bobo thanked everyone who worked silently for the Spurs. At the same time, he officially announced that he would no longer be the head coach, but would do his best to help Mickey.
After saying this, Popo took off his coat with the help of Ginobili and Duncan, revealing a T-bar with the words "EI Jefe". Bobo waved his hand and said, "I'm not a coach anymore, I'm the boss now." EI Jefe means "boss" or "leader", the word originated from Spanish. Bobo's meaning cannot be more obvious.
Bobo also turned around and revealed the text behind him, which means "Señor POpovich". Everyone present laughed and applause rang out, and the atmosphere was very happy.
Bobo is really a person who is old and always stays at the forefront of fashion.
Bobo hugged Mickey after finishing his speech, and then left the press conference accompanied by Ginobili and Duncan.
Looking at Bobo's departure, he officially announced the complete end of his 29-year coaching career, and his era came to an end. There will be no next coach in the NBA named Greg Popovich, but he will always remain in people's memory.
Wishing Coach Bobo, hoping that he will stay healthy in the days ahead.
