Former Popovich assistant Brett Brown suggested the idea
San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich never had spent a moment thinking about NFTs until his longtime assistant, Brett Brown, raised the idea on a phone call to coincide with his inevitable breaking of Don Nelson’s record for regular-season career coaching victories.
What inspired enthusiasm about the idea for Popovich is that full proceeds of the 1,336 NFTs – one for each of his career wins – will go to the charity he’s long championed: the San Antonio Food Bank.
With Popovich surpassing Nelson on Friday night with a 104-102 victory over the Utah Jazz, the Spurs are making 1,336 NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, that will include five of his hand-drawn offensive play cards and five Spurs court designs over his 26 seasons as coach. Among Pop’s plays: “Lock and Lob” and “Side Out of Bounds.”
