Tim Duncan thanks Gregg Popovich during his Hall of Fame speech
Tim Duncan在名人堂演講時感謝Gregg Popovich
Tim Duncan and Gregg Popovich are one of the greatest duos in sports history.
在運動史上，Tim Duncan跟Gregg Popovich是最佳組合之一。
It’s only fitting that Duncan spent some time thanking Popovich during his
induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame on Saturday.
所以在今天的名人堂典禮上，Duncan花了一些時間感謝Popovich也是自然的了。

“You showed up after I got drafted. You came to my island. You sat with my
friends and my family. You talked with my dad,” Duncan said. “I thought
that was normal. It’s not.”
「在我被選秀之後你出現了。你到了我住的島上，你坐了下來，跟我的朋友以及家人一
起，你跟我的爸爸聊天，」Duncan說。「我那時候以為那是很正常的，但是實際上不
是。」
“You are an exceptional person. Thank you for teaching me about basketball.
But even beyond that, teaching me that it’s not all about basketball, that it
’s about what’s happening in the world, about your family,” Duncan said.
「你是個非凡的人，謝謝你教我籃球，但是其實不只有籃球，還有世界上現在發生的事，
還有家人，」Duncan說。
The connection between Duncan and Popovich led to an incredible run of
success for the San Antonio Spurs.
Duncan跟Popovich兩個人之間的連結讓馬刺有了一串成功的表現。
Popovich was hired as head coach in 1996. The Spurs drafted Duncan with the
No. 1 overall pick in the 1997 NBA Draft. They went on to win five NBA
championships together as Duncan racked up 15 All-Star appearances, 15
All-NBA nods, three Finals MVPs and two NBA MVP awards.
Popovich是在1996年開始擔任總教練，而Duncan是在1997年選秀以第一順位被馬刺選上。
之後他們一起拿下了五次冠軍，Duncan也入選明星隊達15次，3次FMVP以及兩次季賽MVP。
When Duncan retired in 2016, there was no question he’d end up voted into
the Hall of Fame as soon as he was eligible.
Duncan在2016年退休，大家也毫不懷疑當他資格符合之後就會馬上進入名人堂。
Popovich is in his 25th season coaching in San Antonio. He’s not in the Hall
of Fame yet himself, but it’s only a matter of time. Then he’ll have the
chance to repay Duncan the favor by lathering him with praise during his
induction speech.
Popovich目前是他擔任馬刺教練第25年，他目前還不是名人堂成員，但也只是時間問題而
已。到時候當他在名人堂演講時，他也會有機會回應Duncan對他的感謝的。
