The San Antonio Spurs player Charles Bassey appeared in just 23 games as a rookie, but he’s still thankful for the opportunity he got from his former Philadelphia 76ers head coach Doc Rivers.
“Me and Doc, we were good,” Bassey said. “Doc was one of the coaches I was excited to play for, but everything didn’t work out. Both these coaches (Rivers and Popovich) have coached great guys. Doc coached ‘KG’ (Kevin Garnett in Boston) and Pop has coached Tim Duncan. Philly gave me the opportunity to play in this league, and I am grateful to that organization. But playing for the Spurs right now is a dream come true.”
