That moment between Coach Hammon and Coach Pop was incredible. The mutual love and respect was so clear.
As I'm bawling my eyes out 😭
Yup. Got me teary eyed!
She's just one example of how the vast majority of people he has coached feel about that man.
I hope people see this speech. I had never heard her speak before. I literally had tears in my eyes at one point. It really felt like listening to a civil rights icon at 40. I felt like I could see her battle scars. It would be cool to see her do color commentary like Walt Frazier does now. He talks about segregation and stuff on broadcast and it's always so interesting.
Congratulations Becky, as a big WNBA fan myself, I always been a fan of yours. You're a great WNBA player and a great assistant for the San Antonio Spurs. You deserve to be in the Hall of Famer
Congrats Becky! You're a trailblazer and can't wait to see you as the first female NBA coach. That moment with Pop was special. He's a special human being. May God bless you both always.
Becky Hammon is a phenomenal person and coach and she is truly deserving of this honor. She is doing an incredible job coaching the Las Vegas Aces who are on track to win at least 35 games in this 40 game season with their elite defensive schemes and offensive scoring. I believe she will lead them to become the first WNBA team in probably decades to win back-to-back titles
She did.
The first time Becky Hammon coach the Summer League team Spurs is also the time they won summer league championship
An absolute legend.
I remember when she became a coach for the Spurs. No surprise, based on who she is and who Pop and the Spurs are. But we were all absolutely thrilled and hopeful that the change we all hoped for could actually come one day... that women could be respected for who we are, even in sport.
Becky's speech was incredible BUT that career is amazing!!! 💪😭 💙 Much love from Dallas!!!!
Loved Becky's Game as soon as she 1st started playing for The NY Liberty when they were in The Garden Much Congratulations on being inducted into The Hall of Fame!!!
Honestly, there is plenty of room in basketball for folks with immeasurable traits like passion and grit. Such traits fuel tenacity and perseverance. Hammon is proof of that! I remember suggesting to Finley over the phone that he get Pop/Spurs to look at Hammon. Greatness! Mavs ManiAAC 2003-2015
God Bless u Becky Hammon.!!
& Congratulations to u ma'am 🎊💯
Don't think Becky is a fan of her parents. How could they miss something like this and go hunting! WTF! 🏀🇬🇧
she's very dedicated to the game. I hope she eventually lands the dream coaching job in the nba.
Congratulations!!!!🎉👏👏👏🙏
what a wonderful speech! what an inspiration
Powerful speech! Congrats Becky!
Congratulations Becky I've been following you since New York Liberty when you played with them you rock
That was a powerful moment. It was actually my first time to see Pop being emotional. The SPURS is the absolute organization 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
So lucky I got to see her play on the Stars back in the day!
Go Becky!!!!❤️
it is hard to imagine that anyone but Popovich would have accepted her at the time. Not an assiduous NBA fan, I had never heard of her. She did have a remarkable career I found out. Even politics came into play when she played for Russia after refused even a tryout with the US team. She has guts.
There could be an implicit target in her comment about her parents being in Africa maybe "hunting and killing animals". Of course they were not doing that, but some famous people still do that.
Becky Hammond seem so cool congrats👏🏾
Holy shit, I was straight until she thanked Pop 😢
The fatherless men who hate women are already crying in the comments.
Love u Becky 🙏🏿🖤🖤
What kind of parents are those? They prioritize hunting in Africa??? My God... that's so sad...
She was One of the first ballers i watched on tv
Great career ! Legendary 🔥🔥🔥
Pop almost breaking down got me man 😢
Same!
That was rough.
I love Becky Hammon
Becky, you rock!❤
So proud of her in Texas ❤
If you're crying about why a woman, particularly this woman, is going into the HOF...
1st- Grow up and start being a man.
2nd- Literally look at her accomplishments and stats, they speak for themselves.
3rd- She was apart of the Spurs as an assistant and head coach... if you didn't know that then its obv that you weren't paying attention to basketball, bc it was known every time the Spurs played.
If you think that isnt also a reason why she shouldn't be in the hall of fame... then that means you think everyone on the Boston Celtics, Bill Russel, and AI's era shouldn't be in the HOF, bc they were inducted for the things they went through as a black person and being the first of many to play. If you dont believe in that then you don't believe in your favorite players bc they wouldnt be in the NBA if it wasn't for them. They were inducted for breaking barriers... and winning and putting up accomplishments... She did the same thing yet the only difference is that shes a woman and yall mad as hell. Yall need help. God bless.
Also a lot those dummies don't realize Basketball Hall of Fame ≠nba experience
@@hublotkingcole683 exactly.
Becky Hammond great player great coach she is A CLASS ACT God has truly Blessed you 😂
Once Pop finishes his contract with San Antonio it would be poetic for him giving the reigns to Becky.
Awesome congratulations 🎉 Becky you deserve it!
I want to see her coach Wemby
Great Speach BH H.O.F
WELL SAID
I enjoyed her speech the most, she loves the Lord!!!!
Coach Pop breaking down gets me fr
She will be the first female NBA coach I think. She deserves it.
Ahhhh yeah I peaced out when she said her parents were in Africa killing animals… Okay…
Becky!
No way I'm missing my daughter being inducted into the hall of fame but that's just me
👏🗣"#BeAPro❗"
Had no idea becky was cold on the court 🥶
Her parents not postponing or rescheduling for this moment is wild
Girl Power ❤😎♥️
LMAO
폽 할배 … 너무 멋져..
It was Teresa Weatherspoon who, as she was nearing the end of her career, said that the next great WNBA guard would be Becky Hammon.
Michael Cooper is my favourite player. 5time champion the very first 3&D player. He's maybe the best defender of the best era and he was fighter like a lion. M. Cooper is also 2time champion as a WNBA couch but not in this Hall of fame. Then there's Becky Hammon SPURS assistant couch. There must be some things that I do not understand...
Robert Horry isnt in the HOF...he won 7 rings! I didnt watch a lot of Cooper but im gonna guess he wasnt one of the prime movers on those squads, and thats probably the main reason he aint in....
@@paulranalli3367 Was Becky a prime mover. I know Horry but Cooper played Over 30min per game in those legendary Celtics Lakers rivals and he was their defence ace 12years but Im sure he's nothing like good ol' Becky.
Overall, this was a great speech but her Africa comment was way outta pocket 🤦🏿
As a second-generation Ghanaian-American, ain’t a damn thing funny about that statement
Becky still a baddie
From 'The Big bang theory' to HOF athlete...
Congrats Penny 👏
Y so serious 😈🃏🥃
I love Sheryl Swoopes but she was not the Michael Jordan of the WNBA that honor goes to her teammate Cynthia Cooper
Feels like there's more people in Russia that knows and admires her than in Murica 😂😂
Big love Becky ❤ Well deserved
Lot of bitter, anger filled thoughts here by sad people. Congrats Becky! Good form!
Funny 😅
Would've been the first female NBA coach (of the Raptors) had she not had that incident with one of her players that got her suspended lol
Just too many commercial brakes ... Way too many
Thanks for the bright days of russian national team
Need to see Becky be the full time head coach of an NBA team next..
I love how Becky just told the whole world her parents are animal poachers. Some people don't care. Some do. I'm an animal lover. Unreal. Take that cross off your neck. She probably does the same thing.
played for russia in the olympics, give me a break people
isn't it entitlement to assume that you were there out of destiny?
What’s your destiny?
@@bensonbrett30 what destiny?
@@neiltristanyabut Your path; your purpose; your reason for being here; where you see yourself headed.
First non bot in here
So her mom and dad are poachers???
In Africa... Hunting, killing animals & taking pictures... Smh... Such an ugly stereotype & only having a single story.
Aside from that, how do you miss your own daughter's Hall of Fame induction?
I literally just did a whole IG reel on that
Who this?
I think she is confusing people thinking that JESUS is ok with her homosexual lifestyle
It is you that speak against her in words?
@@bensonbrett30 just my opinion
@@moneyinthebankusa Your opinion that True Alliance to a "deity" means she must be heterosexual?
Sorry, but it's still very hard for me to swallow that she represented Russia to play in the Olympics.
She fine as hell
weird ass lil kid
She has a cross on a believes in Jesus…but is GAY🤷♂️
You think Jesus would slap her in the face for trusting him despite being gay? Don't act righteous when you don't even have hint of sense in your life.
@@isaacblancaflor1895 F out of here with that BS…Jesus wasn’t Gay, and he didn’t preach homosexuality…
@@isaacblancaflor1895 I'm not sure if this is right place but Bible (Gods word) do not support gay relationchips. It is against them and Gods will. So it doesn't matter what we feel about it.
@@alexanderluthor5670 Hey. This was not about Jesus it was Becky H claiming to be a christian. To make a comment about this matter you should know basics but like all the stupid people I ever met you make your opinions and feelings in the center of everything. I quess you thought that you were funny too😄 No, just stupid but maybe God can give you wisdom if you pray hard enough.
The NBA need their own hall of fame …..for real…
You trippin, The Hall Of Fame is for Ballers from all over the world and from both genders...hoopers hoop. Incells like you just watch NBA which needs to upgrade, the skill level in the NBA has drastically degraded...the athleticism is there but the fundamentals in the NBA is TERRIBLE.!
Basketball is basketball 💀
@@godreap3820 There is always some butt hurt transformer in the comments? Jesus your mother didn’t breast feed you enough….? The fk’ing point is you don’t see college football ball hall of famers going into the NFL HOF in canton or college baseball players going to Cooperstown do you? Fk‘Ing inbred numbskull.
casual fan. nobody will know who you are by the end of your life but every dedicated sports fan will know who becky hammon is so i can see why you're bitter
So who is the women lol, what did she do?
Who is this
So did she just admit that her parents are poachers in Africa... yikes unpleasant
who is this?
@@thefunkphenom11 How is she in the Hall?
WTF
Who?
Watch some basketball and you'll be able to keep up with people better.
Hall of famer???
@@alexanderluthor5670 That's the standard?
who is she? basketball player?
Ever heard of google?
She says she loves Jesus....so why do you live a life of sin in an ungodly relationship?
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO CONFORM TO CHRIST NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND
AND YOU AREN’T SUPPOSED TO BE JUDGEMENTAL. LEST YOU BE JUDGED AND ALL THAT.
MY CAPS LOCK BUTTON IS STUCK. DID YOU MANAGE TO FIX YOURS?
how tf is she hof
It's the Basketball HOF. That includes WNBA players, which plenty from that league have been inducted already. She's a top 5 PG in WNBA history, so obviously she's an automatic HOFer.
oh that makes more sense bball hof is a joke@@TheGeorgeD13
@@TheGeorgeD13Jeremy Lin is a top 5 Asian player of all time why is he not in the HoF?
@@roddylee6472 That's an incredibly false equivalence and you know it.
Women are 50% of the planet and have their own Basketball league. All time greats in that league go in the HOF, just like the NBA.
And no, Jeremy Lin isn't a top 5 Asian player of all time. He's an American of Asian descent.
@@Ihatesports420 How does inducting one of the best of the women's game make the Basketball HOF a joke?
It's perfectly logical. It's like not inducting Steve Nash into the HOF.
I’m not going to pretend and act like I have any clue who this lady is and I’ve been a pretty big NBA fan for 20 years now.
Casual incels.
Clearly not that big of a fan if you don't know who she is
Haha true. Of all the hall of fame speeches I have seen. The ones who we dont even know are the ones who talk more😂
@@286mic How is he an incel for not knowing who someone is?
Are they letting players wives or side pieces in now?
You’re not in the HoF, so no
Casual.
DUMB STUPID 4 THAT 1
Popovich is not a man of principle, he fired Bob Hill and robbed him of his legacy and placed himself in as coach, now going into the HOF. That's not principled Becky!! Congrats tho!
You don't know what you're talking about.
It's not like Pop foretold the future. Like he knew Duncan was gonna be a great player. He took over cuz he knew he could make a difference.
Putting nobody’s into the hof
You're a nobody and a bit ch
you are an incel
Why? Cuz she a woman?😊
@@alexanderluthor5670 simp
Google it and find out.
PS. Her gender is historically more likely to be the reason she never got to hof. If she did it "against odds", means she blazed some trail (so to speak.)
Not sure why hunting and killing animals in Africa is funny??
Hall of fame numbers
100 sandwich’s made
10 beds made
1000 high fives
So disrespectful
It would have been easier for you to admit your mother never loved you, but if this is how you want to say it then don’t let anyone stop you.
Got the whole crowd laughing, wow 😐
Yet greater than anything you'll ever do in your life which peaked in highschool. As much as you like to think you're "that guy" you aren't, and you never were one.
@@286mic I make more money than you and get more women than you I’m good man
Nobody even knows who she is 😝
I know because I'm a big time WNBA fan
No, you don’t know who she is because you’re not a basketball fan.
Spurs fans know who she is.
Yet she's in the basketball HOF. How does that make you feel knowing that you peaked in highschool and never became "that guy" you think you, while she's getting recognized in the sport you think you're good at?
@@286mic lol she got recognition because she’s a girl 🤣🤣 I am wealthy and have plenty of women I’m good bro
