I'm so sorry to hear this.

Maybe you're more in tune than I but I'm not sure about retirement. If anything, basketball is the thing he has left...maybe he goes out and tries do do the best he has left in him for another 2, 4, 5, 10 years?!

I am sure the stress of this situation certainly didn't help, but I agree with the other poster above - I see someone like Popovich going hard at basketball as he moves forward inasmuch as he can from this. To that point, I cannot even imagine the sorrow in losing someone you've been married to for over 40 years. Very sad news.
but this probably isn't the place to get into too much detail. regardless, blessings to you all. my dad had to deal with that when we were kids (and us too). tough stuff, way tough.

I'm kinda of old but one key thing my mother told me that I find to be very true everywhere I roam -- 10% of the world is mentally ill. So don't sweat the nut jobs.
Fuck cancer!

Fuck cancer, indeed. I hope things are getting better for you and your family.
as a person and a coach
truly sad situation for his family and friends
LeBron and KD's reaction really puts it all into perspective

Yeah, but fuck TNT and ESPN for asking these questions when they did. No respect.
The TNT reporter told Lebron about it off the air, and asked if he wanted to say anything. He said he wanted to. Completely respectful.

in Pecos, TX on the way from NM last summer, and they had something akin to a shrine to Pop, including a letter of thanks from him for their amazing food. That guy means a great deal to a lot of people.

When Russell Crowe finds cancer, its in for an ass kicking.
