Liking that last Wemby three, quicker release than his usual catch and shoot.
I don’t know how sensitive of a topic this is in this community, but any story about Pop doing anything this year just really seems like a Ralph Wiggum “I helped” thing.
Brilliant people get serious strokes at age 75 and then become highly compromised and very old right away - and forever. That’s the way it works. I don’t know…everyone else knows better than me on this but having him generally just hanging around giving the same kind of vibe as your uncle that you avoid getting into long conversations with at thanksgiving is just not really a super professional atmosphere for me.
Go do an interview, if you’re capable of working as head of the franchise.
FWIW a stroke is brain ischemia, kills brain cells the same way heart attacks kill heart cells. Neither come back like you said, but brain cells are area specialized, damage often only effects specific abilities.
A right-sided stroke generally doesn't effect cognition or language processing, although it can drastically change mood/behavior/emotions. If he had a right-sided stroke he'd likely be just as sharp as before less his normal aging curve decline.
A left-sided stroke would be the one likely to hurt his cognition/language/logic, turn him Ralph-esque.
If he had RS issue and decided to stay with Spurs cuz he remembers he used to love it, this may have reminded him he's a basketball guy and not a politico, and get his focus back to helping to groom these guys, which was clearly something he loved and prided himself on before the Nephew/Unc situation.
I'm not super hopeful of that, but I've worked with a lot of stroked patients in the hospital, it does have a way of motivating people to get back to what they love while they can if only to avoid/fight the crushing depression that usually comes with strokes.
I’ll defer to expertise, but when I’ve seen people that age have any kind of physical or psychological trauma, the impact to how they generally operate is quite severe. I think emotional capabilities and cognitive capabilities are a little intertwined, right? And doesn’t this disrupt routines and have other avenues to destabilize?
A person can have a stroke and then recover. But this is an age where that seems fairly ridiculous.

My question is...
Who gives a shit?
Mitch is the coach, he seemingly has built a solid staff, and we're on the cusp of contending again. If Pop is sitting back like an old genius, or waddling around the facility with the brain of a 5 yr old, it doesnt matter. He brought us 5 titles but now the page is turned.
