Dejounte Murray: ’Cause I’m a fan just like everybody else is a fan. This is Greg Popovich. Won five championships. How many players has he helped outside of basketball? Just these conversations, just the hug—like: “I love you. I care about you.” So to see him tell my mother those things— and even him telling me, “I just did that because I care about you. I care about her, and I know what bringing your mom to San Antonio where she’s safe would do for you—mentally.” Just mentally. We didn’t even get to the basketball part. That’s what I took from that. He cared about me. He loved me—with his actions, not just his words.
