    In a kind of twisted way, it’s beautiful. It’s tragic that he lost his wife but it’s beautiful that he enjoys his job so much and being around these young guys all day probably keeps him young and in good spirits. It’s always good to see Pop.

      I wish he just had an Anthony Bourdain/NBA legends style show, where he travels the globe with retired NBA icons, and we learn about new places and old memories.

        …isn’t Bourdain traveling one of the key reasons he got more depressed that eventually led to suicide? Don’t wish that on Pop- he can retire and travel in peace/anonymity

          It contributed but he also had a lot of issues. He was dating someone who ended up cheating on him and he was obsessive about her. He seemed to get obsessive about a lot of things.

          First it was drugs and alcohol, and cooking. Later it was jiu-jitsu

          I think it was hard for him to ever just feel ok, he needed something to obsess over.

        Idea sounds nicer than it would be. Constant travel takes a toll on the body. Specially when it has to meet Shooting deadlines for a show. Pops old man, all we can do is be happy he’s with us, he’s more than paid his dues. If he wants his last couple of years to be coaching and doing what he knows and loves, let him.

        This is an amazing idea. I would definitely watch that.
