Wembanyama, on Popovich: "He works harder than most athletes in the world"
The star of the Spurs confesses that his now former NBA coach continues to inspire the entire team
In the past month of May, after spending the entire season recovering from a stroke, Gregg Popovich decided to end his legendary career as an NBA coach. San Antonio Spurs faces a new phase with Mitch Johnson since that moment.
The team is in good hands, especially regarding a roster that features Victor Wembanyama as its main star and will pick a promising talent with the 2nd pick of the 2025 NBA Draft.
Recently, Wembanyama made headlines with statements in the New York Times referencing Popovich. This is what the Frenchman said about the legendary former coach of the Spurs:
"We were all very united. We all have a very good relationship with him and among ourselves, teammates. It's always sad and surprising when something like this happens. The incredible thing about him is that he continues to inspire hope by being the way he is. He keeps inspiring us. Because of his way of working, he makes it harder than most athletes in the world," said Wemby.
