EXCITED ABOUT ESPECIALLY FOR
COACH POPOVICH. I MEAN, WHAT AN
INCREDIBLE LEADER. WHAT A GREAT
COACH FOR
OUR CITY. AGAIN, SPIERS US ALL
TO BE BETTER AND HIS
INVOLVEMENT WITH THE FOOD BANK
HAS BEEN ABOUT REALLY PUTTING
FOOD ON THE TABLE FOR THOSE
IN NEED. AND WHEN IT CAME TIME
TO BRING ATTENTION TO HIM ON
BEING THE MOST WITH A TEST NBA
COACH OF ALL TIME. HE WANTED TO
DEFER THAT ATTENTION AND AND
REALLY HELP FAMILIES RIGHT HERE
IN OUR COMMUNITY.
>> ALL RIGHT. SO TALKING ABOUT
THE PROGRAM FIRST AND FOREMOST
FOR THOSE WHO DON’T KNOW WHAT
EXACTLY ARE THESE INDUCTEES
AND HOW CAN PEOPLE WERE?
HOW DID PEOPLE GET ON THEM?
>> WELL, I TELL YOU, I HAD TO
GO TO SCHOOL ON YOU KNOW, FT IS
A NON-FUNGIBLE TOKEN. THESE ARE
KIND OF IN THE VIRTUAL SPACE.
AND LIKE YOU SAID, CRYPTO
CURRENCY WHAT VIEWERS ARE GOING
TO WANT TO DO IF THEY’D LIKE TO
PURCHASE A PIECE OF HISTORY
AND OWN A PIECE OF POP’S
RECORD. YOU GO TO SPURS DOT COM
AND YOU REGISTER WITH YOUR
VIRTUAL WALLET THAT YOU CAN
PURCHASE A PIECE OF THAT
HISTORY. THERE ARE ONLY 13 36
TOKENS AVAILABLE AND IT’S GOING
TO WRAP UP TODAY. SO YOU’RE
GOING TO WANT TO ACT FAST
BEFORE THOSE ALSO OUT. BUT IT
WILL RAISE HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO HELP US
NOURISH FAMILIES. LIKE I SAID
THROUGHOUT SOUTH TEXAS AND WE
COULDN’T BE MORE EXCITED TO BE
INVOLVED IN A HUGE
CONGRATULATIONS. STILL HOLD
SPURS ORGANIZATION.
>> AND SO FAR HOW MUCH MONEY
HAS BEEN RAISED FOR THE FOOD
BANK.
>> JUST SHORT OF A COUPLE OF
$100,000 HAVE ALREADY BEEN
RAISED. NOW THERE’S A COUPLE
OF COMPONENTS. THEIRS, AN
AUCTION ON SOME SIGNATURE
PLAYS. THESE ARE SOME CARDS
THAT PAPA DRAWN UP AUTOGRAPH

PLAYS, RIGHT? SO YOU CAN OWN A
PIECE OF BAD ALONG WITH THESE

36 WINDS. NOW, OF COURSE, WE’LL
POP CONTINUES. THAT RECORD.
KEEP MOVING THAT ALL OF THE

COLLECT SOME ADDITIONAL DOLLARS
TO HELP US AT THE FOOD BANK.
BUT THIS IS ONE CREATIVE WAY
TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE ISSUE
OF HUNGER AND A GREAT WAY TO
CELEBRATE AN AMAZING HEAD
COACH.
>> NOW WE’VE BEEN OBVIOUSLY
WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH YOU
SINCE BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.
WE’VE SEEN THE LONG LINES, BUT
WE’VE ALSO SEEN INFLATION, GAS
PRICES RISE IN THE LAST FEW
MONTHS. YOU KNOW, WHAT IS THE
NEW LOOK LIKE FOR SAN ANTONIO?
FROM US PERSPECTIVE.
>> YEAH, WE’RE PRETTY STRESSED.
I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY WE GOT HIT
WITH, YOU KNOW, SURCHARGES ON
THE UPTICK IN THE PRICE OF GAS.
AND SO WE’RE SPENDING ABOUT
$1000 A DAY BEFORE THEN WE HAD
THE TO KEEP ALL OF OUR VEHICLES
ON THE ROAD. ALL OF OUR TRUCKS
USE DIESEL FUEL AND THEN WHEN
YOU THINK ABOUT FAMILIES, THE
INFLATION ON FOOD, THEY’RE
LEAVING THE GROCERY STORE WITH
A LITTLE LESS FOOD THAT THEY
HAD TO MAKE UP THAT DIFFERENCE
THERE COMING TO US AT THE FOOD
BANK. I WORRY ABOUT THE SUMMER,
RIGHT? WHEN KIDS GET OUT OF
SCHOOL. IF INFLATION MANY
FAMILIES WILL RECEIVE A LITTLE
BIT OF A REDUCTION IN THEIR
SNAP BENEFITS DUE TO THE
PANDEMIC. CLOSING IN ON THIS
POLICY THAT THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT AD FOR A GLOBAL
HEALTH SO
WE’RE BUT ITS STRATEGY LIKE
THIS THAT HELP SUPPORT US THAT
CAN HELP US MAKE UP THE
DIFFERENCE FOR THESE FAMILIES.
WE’RE CURRENTLY PROVIDING FOOD
TO.
>> WELL, ERIC COOPER, THANK YOU
FOR JOINING US AND THANK YOU
FOR HELPING SO MANY FAMILIES IN
