As the San Antonio Spurs played their home opener of the 2025-26 season on Sunday, Oct. 26, fans noticed some new decor in Frost Bank Center: a banner honoring former head coach Gregg Popovich as the winningest coach in NBA history. There was no ceremony, no fanfare, no announcement. It truly honored the legacy that Popovich left behind.

This could become Wembanyama’s league sooner than initially anticipated. Hall of Famer Camelo Anthony, who was a great scorer in his own right during his career, said that the 21-year-old will win the league MVP award this season.
