“Some of the stuff we do on defense, we actually have one thing we call
on the pin downs, we say we’re going to ‘Del Negro it’ and that’s in his
honor and we’ve done that for 15 years,” Popovich said.
“We have a Del
Negro defense out there because he couldn’t play a lick of D. At times
we had to invent something just to hide him, so we call it ‘Del Negro’
and you do certain things on the court and everybody has to make up for
that guy who’s the ‘Del Negro.’”
