On the journey to winning the 1999 NBA championship with the San Antonio Spurs, Portland had a point guard, who I respect — I won’t say any names, but he’s now coaching in college. He was supposed to be traded to the Spurs, but when the trade didn’t go through, he said, ‘the Spurs will never win a championship with Avery Johnson as their point guard.’ Well, that year, we swept Portland and went on to win a championship with Avery Johnson as the point guard! #CoachAvery #NBAChampionship #NeverUnderestimate
