Gyasi Ross sings the praises of San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich over fear-mongering Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R):
Somebody PLEASE nominate San Antonio Spurs Gregg Popovich for governor of Texas. No, seriously. This isn't just blogger hyperbole. I mean, I definitely do the blogger hyperbole; this just isn't it. Put simply, no one brings people together and creates the best product better than Pop. No, Pop has this amazing ability of bringing very undervalued pieces together to create winning teams; whereas some people (e.g. Perry, Sean Hannity and their ilk) see outsiders as threats, Pop sees promise and potential. He embraces how a different individual perspective and/or skillset that ultimately will improve the collective; his 2013-2014 roster is comprised of players from ten different countries. He extracts the very best and hard work out of these players, Ninja Juice-style -- and gets an amazing and effective elixir. The exact opposite of Rick Perry.Get the Story:
