For a guy who once had a reputation for not saying much, Gregg Popovich has become quite loquacious these days. The San Antonio Spurs head coach has lately been very vocal about political matters.
Now he’s given us some interesting things to chew on regarding Magic Johnson, who’s the new President of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Tania Ganguli of the Los Angeles Times passed along the following exchange, with Popovich commenting on Johnson and the Lakers, and his comments might surprise you

With no Galaxy S8 announcement at Mobile World Congress this year, Samsung turned to its Android and Windows 10 tablets to fill the void.
The Korean electronics giant announced two new tablets at the trade show in Barcelona: The Android-powered Galaxy Tab S3 and the Windows 10-powered Galaxy Book, which will be available in 10.6- and 12-inch models.
Despite the different operating systems, both tablets share common traits borrowed from Samsung's Galaxy phones. They also come with enhanced S Pens and support for detachable keyboards.
On Friday, Taelor released another LP — officially his second studio album — In the Way of Me. This one is available for commercial purchase and, like Jacob and Judas, features a few revered lyricists.

In college, I was quite the busy-body. I found my self-worth in participating in every possible activity, club, and organization. I was in the band, played tennis, and a member of student council. I was also a member of the student television news station, volunteered with the Chapel every Sunday, and I pledged a sorority. Can you say, “busy?!” The less I slept, the more meals I skipped, and the more coffee I drank, the more valuable I felt.
I was not taking care of my temple. Instead, I was abusing it as if that was a way to win God’s approval. As I write this now, it sounds so silly. I’ve matured a lot. But in my younger years, I had some serious insecurities and lacked self-worth. I literally hated everything about the body I was in. I hated my mind, I hated my body, and I hated my spirit. As a result, every part of me was mistreated by…me.
Last year, after nominations were announced for the Academy Awards and all 20 acting nominees were Caucasian in the lead and supporting acting categories, Magazine Editor April Reign (@ReignofApril on Twitter) started the viral hashtag #OscarsSoWhite.
Even actress Jada Pinkett-Smith joined the action by posting a Facebook video that went viral in which she admonished actors and filmmakers of color to produce and support stories that showed diversity.
When the 81-year-old woman died in a Maryland suburb just outside the nation’s capital 17 years ago, she was living alone. Neither her few acquaintances nor her neighbors had any idea whether she had any family. But to ensure Hoover received a proper burial, a few good folks managed to piece together an incomplete portrait of a life they barely knew.
It’s no coincidence that three of the top 50 players in the history of the NBA have roots at historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). That’s because historically black colleges, dating to the 1940s, gave the best of the best the opportunity to shine — to play the game with a flair and flamboyance that hadn’t been seen before.
When the names Earl “The Pearl” Monroe, Willis Reed or Sam Jones are mentioned, “HBCU” is hardly the first thought that comes to mind. Although the HBCU landscape has since changed, basketball — much like football in the 1960s and ’70s — was a hotbed for the game’s best players. Today, HBCUs are still capable of developing NBA-caliber talent.
Tennessee State University’s Robert Covington and Norfolk State University’s Kyle O’Quinn, who play for the Philadelphia 76ers and the New York Knicks, respectively, are just two examples. Looking back over the years, there’s no question that black college basketball has been very prolific. Donald Hunt, a longtime ESPN contributor who has written about sports at HBCUs for decades, put together this top 20 list of the best HBCU basketball players of all time.

It’s been said that “The Lord works in mysterious ways.” DeMarcus Cousins believes such was the case for him when he unexpectedly became teammates with fellow NBA All-Star big man Anthony Davis for the now potentially powerful New Orleans Pelicans.

Draft picks can become key assets at the NBA trade deadline. The strength of the projected 2017 field should bring even more attention and value to this year's first-round selections.
We've already seen the draft come into play as part of the DeMarcus Cousins trade. The Sacramento Kings swapped out an All-Star for a potential lottery pick from the New Orleans Pelicans, along with Buddy Hield, Tyreke Evans, Langston Galloway and a second-rounder.
There are nine college players whom general managers should have in the back of their minds when looking to deal at Thursday's deadline. For the right team, these prospects could make a rebuild through the 2017 draft worth trading established, cap-clogging talent.
Only 4 percent of the Millennial Generation are Bible-Based Believers. This means that 96 percent of Millennials likely don’t live out the teachings of the Bible, value the morals of Christianity and probably won’t be found in a church. This author goes deep to explain why.
