    Lest we forget: Becky Hammon, touted to be Pop's replacement in San Antonio, if she doesn't get an NBA head coaching gig elsewhere, played for Russia in 2008 and 2012.

    At least she actually resided in Russia for awhile when she played in the Russian league.

    And she waited until she was 31 to make the switch, after being passed over by the U.S. team for the three Olympics. She was wasn't under consideration for the 2008 team after being first-team All-WNBA in 2007, averaging almost 19 points and leading the league in assists. She knew that her only chance to make it was to play for someone else.

    I suspect Hammon's still-valid Russian citizenship may have played some minor factor in her failure to get an NBA head coaching gig.

    I'm sure she's a secret agent and will spill America's basketball secrets to the Kremlin.
