Popovich is one of the best head coaches in the league and one of the best managers of all time. Since he coached the San Antonio Spurs, he has also built a 20-year-long Spurs boom, and also led the Spurs to five NBA championships, with David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Ginobili, Tony Parker, Leonard and other great championship stars in the middle.
The 2021-2022 season is a greater season for Popovich's coaching career than winning the championship, and that is that he will become the first NBA head coach in NBA history. Although the season is more than halfway through, the Spurs successfully won the game against the Utah Jazz, which also allowed San Antonio Spurs coach Popovich to officially win 1336 games in his career, successfully surpassing Donald Nelson to reach the top of the history, becoming the head coach with the most game victories in the history of the NBA.
We all know that the San Antonio Spurs have not been as strong as GDP in recent years, and the strength of the Spurs can no longer let popovich's alliance be at will. Popovich also considered retiring because of his age and health problems, but when he saw the Spurs struggling, he was determined to return to help the Spurs hope to build a Spurs boom, and now the Spurs have a group of outstanding young players, such as Dezhang Taimurri and Kelton Johnson, but they have not really led the Spurs out of the predicament.
Some insiders in the league said the Spurs are preparing for Popovich's retirement in the next 1-2 years. As he began his 26th season coaching career, I was told the team had embarked on an extensive internal and external search for Popovich's successor.
Popovich is the rebuilding guru of the NBA, he has unparalleled basketball knowledge, he can tell young players what to do when they are on the court to get the team more victories, we also hope that Popovich can lead a new Spurs team in this 1-2 years in the league in the small-ball era.
Although the San Antonio Spurs are currently almost out of the playoffs, they have found the core players that can focus on the future, and as a small-ball city, the Spurs may need longer to prepare for the future and return the team to the ranks of strong teams.
