The Spurs arrived in Sacramento having lost six in a row, but it was an upbeat traveling party after Saturday's announcement that the Hall of Fame's Class of '23 would be loaded with members of the Spurs family.
SACRAMENTO - Keldon Johnson had a catch in his voice as he reacted to Spurs coach Gregg Popovich's selection for induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2023."He changed my life literally from being a little kid to being a man, not just on the court, but off the court," said Johnson, who was just 19 when the Spurs drafted him in the first round in 2019.
Pau Gasol, who won two titles with the Los Angeles Lakers, also has Spurs ties after spending nearly three seasons in San Antonio toward the end of his career. Warriors coach Steve Kerr knows what Johnson means. Kerr played for Popovich's first two championship teams in 1999 and 2003, has coached against him in some high-stakes playoff games and coached with him during Team USA's gold-medal run at the Tokyo Olympics.
