Before he was head coach of the Boston Celtics, Ime Udoka was a longtime assistant in San Antonio under one of the greatest coach in NBA history in Gregg Popovich.

After the Celtics defeated the Spurs on Saturday night, Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe, caught up with Popovich and asked him about his relationship with Udoka.

I asked Gregg Popovich about his relationship with Ime Udoka: "“He’s a very good friend. He always will be. So you feel for people that get caught up into a situation. But I’m not a judge and jury and our friendship will continue.” #Celtics #Spurs

Obviously Popovich didn’t have much to say about the Udoka situation, however, this was a question I believe many people wanted to see asked.

Shoutout to Gary for his expertise in this field, forming credible relationship around the NBA.
