The post-big 3 era proved that he was the best coach in the NBA. The mark of an elite coach is being able to win without having a lot of talent on the roster.
Just the opposite zero rings withiut the big 3
@@Alex-sf9bo he won with an assistant coach and base on these pass 4 years looks like super teams have been failing looks like Kerr and spo could coach big 3 teams
@@Alex-sf9bo look at the rosters he had? Nobody is winning with Hassan Whiteside and Dion Waiters. But they still made the playoffs.
No coach in the NBA could have brought this team to the finals.
Spo’s teams post Lebron were always punching above their weight and exceeding expectations.
@@sulwhale3171 exactly and he could win his first finals without the big three
Tbh they have talent
Right now, Spo is the best coach in the NBA and has been one of the best coaches in American sports for years now.
And it’s crazy how he doesn’t have a single coach of the year award
Coach Spo is a legend for a reason. When I was watching the heat during the big 3 days, he learned from 2011 and showed massive growth from then on. 2013 was one of his spotlight moments and I am happy that he's still making massive noise in the NBA today.
He sure did
@@user-qg1dq7yl3q you don’t know ball then. Think about the amount of super teams we’ve seen since then. Now tho I about the amount that went to the finals, let alone won a title, let alone went to multiple finals and won multiple titles. It takes a special coach to manage the egos and get the most of the players surrounding the stars.
@@Slame333 spoelstra has zero rings withiut Lebron and refs
@Arraez 4 MVP you can say the same thing about pat riley, phil jackson, etc. Give the ball to Kobe, Shaq, MJ, Pippen, Magic, Kareem and get out the way! Even Greg Popovich had the greatest power forward to ever play the game. So at the end of the day all great coaches have great players. Spo coached the Heat as good as one could especially with all the expectations placed on those big 3 teams.
@@faridpino507 facts
From the video room to being the best head coach in the NBA
Not even closen
Spo looks like he did a few bumps in the video room. Go heat!!
@@Alex-sf9bo who is the best coach then? Mike Malone?😂
*🔥♨️💥🎥🙌🏾!*#💯!*
I was impressed that he was able to handle all those stars in Miami back in 2010….even more impressive that he has coached undrafted talent to the big show.
So sad he never won COACH OF THE YEAR when obviously he has the accolades to earn it. Where are the other awardees of the COY now? They are unemployed, while this guy is still coaching for 15 straight seasons.
The Filipinos are proud of you coach ! Win or lose we will always be by your side!
what pisses me off is that he has NOT won Coach of the Year. I agree 100% with K Perkins. a lot of those COY coaches in his 15 years active coaching are either fired or unemployed. I believe these hypocrite voters have their knives out against the guy.
Knives out is too strong. He's just seen as a minority among minorities. In general Asians have been regarded as the invisible minority in the States but in the past few years, things have improved. Asians are now being seen more now.
@maycusa I forgot he is Asian. All I see is a genuine coach, but I get your point.
Think about this, Pat Riley has been involved in TWENTY FIVE PERCENT of all NBA finals as a player, coach and/or GM. One person tied to 1/4 of ALL NBA FINALS... and he was the guy who recognized Spo in the tape room, brought him along courtside, elevated him to assistant coach and then handed the reigns over to Spo when he took over as GM.
This is why I refer to them as the collective individual "Spo'Riley"(not mine but IDK where I cribbed it from), there was no real drop off from one to the other and we've only gotten better as a team :)
I love the fact that Kris London is just chilling in the background 😂😂
There is a lot of lesson to learn in this Miami story that we can apply in real life hope they will get the ring for better happy ending.
LeBron and Wade helped Spo in his learning years. Now he's killing it with 1 superstar instead of 3 along with few stars at different stages and a squad of young, undrafted players who WORK. Doesn't have to look pretty to be effective. Riley knew what he was doing with all this. Btw, Cleveland forgives. Go Cavs
LeBron wanted him sacked
But Spolstra stood up to him and refused to be intimidated by LBJ
And Pat Riley stoop by his Coach til this time
Spolstra is a Filipino Wizard
He is a national treasure in the Philippines equivalent to the great Manny Pacman Pacquiao
@@anguscooper Good situation because Spo passed the test. Bron has been the only superstar with 4+ brand new NBA coaches throughout his team-changing journey. LeBron paved the way for Jimmy
you tripping, you are forgetting he was under Riley for some time.
@@bobbydigital5236 11 years as an assistant. HUGE difference. Head coach is a whole other level of burden, responsibilities, blame for most things and even credit and honor when things go right.
Yeah , Yeah , Yeah ... All that 'sounds' good , but impress me by beating denver ! ... Bc even though he's with-stood the test of time , that most have not ... He's still NEVER Won a CHAMPIONSHIP w/o lebron 🤷♂️ ? ! ...
Erik Spoelstra has come a long way
He mentions that his father Jon has been fired several times...one of those times was as the president of the Nuggets around 1990. Maybe extra motivation! (Although he got a nice severance...used it to buy a house in Maui, thereafter known as the"Nugget House")
Lmao baby Spo with the beatle cut 😂 I love it
I remember when he got his HC job with the big three and every questioned if he was the right fit
That was ESPN speak for "Will LeBron try to get him fired because he doesn't like Spoelstra?"
@Arraez 4 MVP yeah he was an assistant coach in 2006 also
I'm sure Spo became the coach during Beasley rookie year not with the big 3.
@@richardperez7867 he became HC in 2008 but he was still a young HC when the big 3 was formed.
The heat wave 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 The Dawgs are coming !!
Global warming is near
I still love the fact that Spo's coaching excellence is being recognized by his peers, even though he has never won the COTY award. 💯
Erik is the future goat
members of the 2016 Championship hosting NBA Today, you love to see it
I'm from the Philippines. This man is half Filipino and that makes it all the more meaningful for me to support him until the very end. Laban, Coach Spo! 🇵🇭
Spolstra is a national treasure in the Philippines equivalent to the great Manny Pacquiao
Erik Spolstra is a Filipino Wizard
Mabuhay ang Pilipino ❤❤❤
nahh haha not like pac..
Lame
Erik Sok Spolstra, a proud half Cambodia 🇰🇭
Nah. Kots chot better.
Spo thank you. -Miami
The best coach in this generation and more to come
ESPN giving time to Miami wow 😮😮😮excluding Brian Windhorst
Love Tristan's energy!
That Edit at the beginning is clean 🔥
Can you imagine winning 40 games with Dion Waiters as your best player? 😂 Pat Riley did nothing but sign Jimmy after the 2010 Free Agency Haul.
*Hall of Fame Head Coach
I believe Mike Budenholzer was a video coordinator-turned head coach too. Both guys have won rings.
Spo had good mentor in Riley. Most will crack under LeBron request to switch coach
If you impressed Pat Riley so much with your basketball IQ that he felt he had to give you the keys to the kingdom at such a young age before any other team snags you, thats saying something. And the man started from about the bottom of basketball operations and he had to climb up the ranks on his own merit, and he wasnt even keen on becoming a coach, Pat kinda imposed it on him cause he saw something.
That’s my Coach!!! Heat Nation we here!! La Spoelstra Nostra!!
RJ making Tristan pick and then refusing to pick himself is so RJ lol.
The Asian Americans definitely have the intelligence, capability and talent to be good head coaches in the nba. So how come it's only Erik Spoelstra who is an Asian American coach in the entire nba? When they say equality in coaching, the default setting is to hire black coaches. The Asian Americans are not even considered but they are highly capable.
Yeah cuz the NBA is known to be full of Asians lol
Not everything is about race dude, settle down😂😂
the black coach thing comes from the % of black athletes vs black coaches. not a lot of asians in basketball, spo’s come up was unique.
@@kaleb324 A lot of great coaches were not even nba players. Coach Pop also didn't play in the nba. Being a head coach and being a player are totally different animals. Michael Jordan was a very good player but a terrible owner. His Charlotte Hornets rarely make the playoffs. On the other hand, some terrible players can be very good coaches.
Give more opportunity to Asian Americans as head coaches. They are highly capable since intelligence is one important trait of a very good coach.
@@wavemaker2077 i’m sure there are tons of capable asians out there but it’s just unlikely. we should be looking more at giving those guys who’ve been in the organization and worked their way up to be head coaches. instead of hiring the guy who got fired last week to solve your organizations problems.
Eric Spoelstra is Asian American, but he’s also biracial. There’s a difference.
as much as i want Coach Spo to win CotY
regular season awards feel cursed in the playoffs
regardless, happy for Coach Spo receiving such accolades
He learned from the best....
Let’s Go Heat, coach Spo❤
Tristan Thompson is good on television
Coach spo is the new coach pop.
Legend
🇵🇭 🏀 🏆
Kuya🎉🎉🎉
It's going to be tough to beat the golden Nuggets! Nuggets had great shooters 😊
how can he not won coach of the year even once😥
Why Does Tristian and RJ sound alike? Maybe it is just me.
Actually media got it right for once never to vote Spo Coach of the Year. He is the coach of the generation.
But why he's not yet awarded as best coach of the year?
This doesnt go for every coach
But if only more organizations had more trust in good coaches amd stop firing them because they come up short a couple years in a row
💯💯💯
3:02 Is that Kris from 2Hype in the back?
It is
Hilarious ending
🐐
LSK (2Hype) in the back
Miami Heat are winning the NBA Finals trust and Believe
Man crush Wednesday 😊
Spo is an Asian-American icon! Love that man! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Jimmy Butler has a better playoff career than James Harden, Damian Lillard, Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum (gotta compare their finals performances) and Russel Westbrook
He's about to get paid tons of money again since he has a bonus for every playoff win.
I swear the media always ask about a single moment when wada wad-a wada happens . Ugh!
Y’all just gonna keep remixing this story
...and lebron wanted coach spoe fired.
The "WE" fans 😂😂😂😂😂 there's a lot of those "WE" fans in Miami. The heat team becomes successful for 5 weeks and NOW EVERY "WE" Miami fans has always been a heat fan😂😂😂
Yo didnt this dude said Celtics will win game 6 and 7?
There is nothing to talk about so let's bring this up again. Hilarious!!!!
ITS CRAZY HOW THE COACHES GET SO MUCH PRAISE, BUT ITS THE PLAYERS. WHEN THE GOOD PLAYERS LEAVE THE TEAM, COACHES DON'T GET TEAMS BACK THE FINALS THE PLAYERS DO.
What are you talking about?? Who usually gets fired first when the team is tanking?
@@etrnlygr8tful87 NOT THE STAR PLAYERS. WHAT ARE YOU! TALKING ABOUT?
@@ZuseShabazz-xq2ei well exactly...no coach gets ALL the praise. The coach can make & strategize the best plays, YET if the players fails to execute them the coach usually gets the blame & eventually gets fired first. The players, esp star players as you point out, know they less indispensable than the coach.If the team is successful, the coach & his team also deserves the praise. They are far less paid than the athletes, yet they are the ones who works the most on & off the court, ice or field regardless of sport.
@@etrnlygr8tful87 LOL
His stubbornness and lack of trying new lineups you can’t have bam be your center u have to play yurtseven or zeller with bam but spolstra sticks to strus and Vincent who can’t beat every play and butler will never win a chip if he’s the main guy
Ain’t no body cares what thirsty Thompson gotta say he just got destroyed what advice can he possibly give us
He shut down jokic 🤡
Tristan Thompson always workin
THERE ARE A LOTNOF BAD COACHES AND BAD ORGANIZATIONS IN THE NBA.SPOELSTRA IS REALLY NOT THAT GOOD. BUT LOOKS GOODS AMONGST A LOT OF BAD COACHES AMD BAD ORGANIZATIONS .
thank you fo diz, espn.
🌟🤩💎
in coach erik we trust, jellybean.
with him at da helm, he will take mah dream team to even greater heights.
i am actually and legit feelin' giddy and excited.
bahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
❣️🤣🤭😍😘🌼💕
Filipino Jackson
Espn loves to hire losers and fire greats
Heat? Champions? .........😂
Why, they do have championship rings & NBA trophies so yes they qualify as Champions".
How does Tristan not have AIDS? that's the real question...
I love Spo, but Steve Kerr is the best coach in the NBA. Lets not forget, the warriors werent a dynasty before he got there...
The Warrior have 2 great talents and they added a generational talent 2 years after Kerr took over. Kerr needs to prove that he can win with a different roster first. By win, I don’t mean championships. Just make them competitive enough or even exceeding expectations like Spo does with the Heat.
The talents were already there, and KD showed up. Steve Kerr is a media darling. They gave him COTY award even after he only coached half a season. Complete Joke!! I don't think Kerr would've taken this Heat team to the NBA Finals.
Let's Go Heat🔥.
