鵜鶘後衛Dejounte Murray近日作客YouTube節目The Pivot Podcast，當中他談及了當年與恩師Gregg Popovich的一些故事：「對我來說他就是一個父親的形象。我們之間的故事太多了，如果他坐在這裡，他會告訴你：『他從來沒讓一個球員走進他辦公室，靠在他肩膀上哭泣，因為這名球員不得不去處理多起發生在西雅圖家中的槍擊事件，而這個球員就是我，那個時候我還要支付很多的葬禮費用』。」

引用“So for me, he was like a father figure. There’s so many stories — if he were able to sit here and talk, he’d tell you: he’s never had a player come into his office and cry on his shoulder about how many murders he had to deal with back home in Seattle, how many funerals I had to pay for,” Murray said. “It was so crazy — a lot of my people don’t even know this. From family, friends, and the penitentiary… Pop didn’t want me to go to Seattle. When I first got drafted, I wouldn’t go to Seattle. And that was a man who cared about me. That was a man who wanted me to reach my full potential in life first — then as a basketball player.”

「他是如此的真實，我媽媽在我新秀賽季腿部中槍受傷，Gregg Popovich打電話給我媽媽說『我們想讓你搬到聖安東尼奧，不是用他（Dejounte Murray）的錢，而是我自己出錢』。這聽起來就是一個在關心我、愛我的人說的話，對吧？」

引用“He’s so real. He tried to move my mom to San Antonio with his own money after she got shot. My mom was shot in the leg my rookie year. He called her himself — without me knowing until after the fact. ‘We want to move you here.’ No — not with his money, with my money. That sounds like a dude that cares about me and loves me, right?”

「我和其他人一樣都是球迷，他是Gregg Popovich，贏得了五次總冠軍。除了籃球層面以外，他還幫助過多少球員？這些對話，一個擁抱，就像在說：『我愛你。我在乎你。』所以看到他跟我媽媽說這些話，甚至告訴我，『我這麼做是因為我在乎你，我在乎她，我知道把你媽媽帶到聖安東尼奧，她會很安全，而這對你的心理層面也有好處。我們在談論只是心理上的。我們甚至還沒談到籃球的部分。這就是我從中感受到的。他關心我。他愛我——用他的行動，而不僅僅是他的言語。」

引用“’Cause I’m a fan just like everybody else is a fan. This is Gregg Popovich. Won five championships. How many players has he helped outside of basketball? Just these conversations, just the hug — like: ‘I love卸下馬刺教頭職務 you. I care about you,’” Murray said. “So to see him tell my mother those things — and even him telling me, ‘I just did that because I care about you. I care about her, and I know what bringing your mom to San Antonio where she’s safe would do for you — mentally.’ Just mentally. We didn’t even get to the basketball part. That’s what I took from that. He cared about me. He loved me — with his actions, not just his words.”
