Watching some of the reactions the athletes have make for good perspective, but if I was Pop I'd hate that you are using my wifes death to get views and ratings. You'd think the NBA would be classier than that in regards to an iconic coach

You can't compare Wilt no social media era to now.

Apples n Oranges

You ever heard of Hal Greer? Neither have I. He was a HOF that died 2 days ago i dont think I have seen one clip paying a tribute to him or an on air pundit mention him. Thing is given his former professsion hes less of a stranger to the public than pop's wife.

Again its sad and unfortunate news but why is this particular passing more important and the saddest thing ever and the HOF's is nothing?

40 years.

Thoughts and prayers for Pop.

 

[Roman Brady]

The way the media is ambushing athletes about this is disgusting

Its like someone decided that all the 'cough' black 'cough' players better use this opportunity to pile on the platitudes and well wishes pop's for how he put his neck on the line talking about racial injustice

 

[waltthizzney]

People respect Pop more than almost any other public figure in sports. the man has done more for people of colour than 98% of the L

Condolences to the family. May Erin rest in peace.

That pain must hurt like a mutha...RIP and prayers out to that man in his time of mourning.


On a sidenote, they haven't said what she died of right? Seems like they keeping it secret for now......

On side note, I see Pop walking away after the playoffs... he literally gets no time to grieve

This is sad. Pop is someone who I have a lot of respect for.
