LeBron James says his thoughts are with 'my dear friend' San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, who recently suffered a mild stroke, ahead of Lakers-Spurs NBA Cup game.
LeBron James had San Antonio on his mind Wednesday night, but not because the Lakers face the Spurs on Friday. He was thinking of something else — or, rather, someone else. The Spurs revealed earlier Wednesday that longtime coach Gregg Popovich suffered a mild stroke Nov. 2 at the team’s arena in the hours before a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He started a rehabilitation program, the Spurs said, and is expected to make a full recovery.
It doesn't even have to be on the sidelines. That’s the most important for me.' The two go way back. Popovich was an assistant coach when a 19-year-old James was a player on the U.S. men's basketball team that won bronze at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. Their teams have met in the NBA Finals three times.
