Matt Bonner · Gregg Popovich stunned the basketball world by inserting Matt Bonner into the starting lineup for Game 5 of the 2014 Western Conference Finals, and the "Red Rocket" kept his spot for the clincher on May 31. The move was designed to drag Serge Ibaka out of the paint, and Bonner's spacing helped San Antonio capture a 112-107 overtime victory and a trip back to the NBA Finals. A two-time champion, career 41.4% three-point shooter, and beloved figure in San Antonio for a decade, Bonner embodied the selfless, team-first culture that powered the Spurs' "Beautiful Game" era and delivered a fifth championship just two weeks later. · State of Mint · State of Mint
