- Please watch: "Michael Jordan and Leroy Smith : The Man & The Myth (An Original Documentary)"
• Michael Jordan's Myth:... -~-
Ok, soooooo the Real name of this video should be : The SICK & SiNISTER SYSTEM of the Gregg Popovich Spurs (aka Kawhi's Great Escape) but folks say my titles are too long and don't make a ton of sense.. either way, This is our exploration into Gregg Popovich, head coach of the San antonio Spurs. The least i can say is that it's a complicated story of a man who thinks really highly of himself coupled with players who don't think nearly enough of themselves. From Manu to Tony to Tim even David, they all just go along with the..."system"
But Kawhi Leonard may have been Greggs first real test of his..."system" IDK i'm rambling here - just watch the damn video
THE RE-UPLOAD WITH MISSING PARTS FILLED IN: here ya go - ua-cam.com/video/yffWCeukYeM/v-deo.html
I just finished watching the finals!!!! Hey “Pop”, who’s laughing now?!?!? 😜🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Yep you got proven wrong- "clearly being in Southern California was the priority" was no injury just a Sociopath and diva. You probably should take a honest look at yourself dipshit
@The Hip-hop Underworld How is it a cult? Things Pop preaches come from Hank Egan which is based in building a good person then a basketball player. Ya'll believe in things like ego and superficial bullshit that don't really mean shit in the long run
I was worried that was some sort of censorship on this video which is exploring topics much larger then basketball. Question authority
Movies don't come on randomly, admit it, you watched the movies and your girlfriend rewarded you for it. Same with me, so much so when part two came out, I stood in line on premiere night hoping for the same reward

u the best.
Do you know the used Zach Johnson that comments on your videos a lot?
Should prolly get some original music next time. I know a guy.
The NBA Storyteller - THE END GOOD SHIT FELT LIKE I WAS WATCHING A ACTUAL TOP TIER DOCUMENTARY. THE PAUSES WERE OFF PUTTING BUT GOOD SHIT.
Popobytch is a seeeyeA asset. That's why the media is so submissive.
What's wrong with the audio
I thought it was just me why are there these long awkward pauses in audio
He probably just cut some sections of the audio in order to aviod copyright detection.
Don't let this video distract you that Stockton has no left.
If John Stockton and my girl both drowning.
Catch me on the right side of the coffin abusing pick & roll for the next 20 years
lmao
I have to rebut that Stockton had no left. Maybe early in his career he favored his right, but if you watch games from his later years (1998 finals, for example) he shows no problem going left and dribbling with his left hand.
this is WITHOUT A DOUBT, the best take I've seen on this topic thus far. incredibly well thought out and makes alot of sense
Rusty Buckets I live in San Antonio and I must agree
Rusty Buckets
Yes sir. You gotta be an adult to get it though. I mean even I could not figure out what all the drama was about, but after a while, it became clear that Pop is not innocent here at all. Hopefully skip bayless will see this. I think when Pop ordered the Code Red on Kawhi mid-season, Kawhi was totally shocked and betrayed. Phil and kobe had a bit of a falling out in 2004, but got back together a few years later. It happens
It.. just really isn't.
meeg_2005 kawhi creates a catch 22, has his teammates field questions for him which makes his teammates look bad (teammates do not know what's going on - lets hear more of what they don't know & avoid asking kawhi) & this is pops fault?
This is the most idiotic take ive heard but then again most people nowadays are idiots.
After scrolling the comments, I can say the San Antonio fans even in their Feelings, they are still rather polite people. Lets stay on Topic folks, AND REMEMBER, I only have the power you give me (what??) what i mean is, #1 I hope you were entertained. btw, to the 2/3rds of folks who Liked this, I cant tell you how thankful I am for your time and Brain energy.
LOL
Have you heard of Jon Bois? Your videos are providing a void in my life that I had for this type of content. Since Bois no longer posts.
Where's the patreon? I need to give you my money RIGHT NOW.
The NBA Storyteller - THE END Around 10:08 into the video, are you sure you know anything about basketball? Pop took Tim out because the Heat was obviously going for a 3. And yes, he put in Diaw. But that's only because Diaw was doing a good job guarding Lebron that game. He missed the shot right? I'm not saying Diaw was the direct reason Lebron missed the shot, but it sure made a difference. Look, your editing is nice. The way you speak sounds professional. But that doesn't always mean you're right. You're like that guy, BSOLZ. Just cause your vids come out good aesthetically, that doesn't mean the content/substance is good. And that's just one part of this so-called "documentary" of yours. A lot of these comments praise you and agree with you, and you notice them. But there are other comments that point out flaws in your argument/conspiracy that I'm sure you just straight up ignore because you know that they're right. I hope you don't make it big here on UA-cam. Because you'll just be spreading lies while thinking you're "spitting facts".
You're petty
The NBA Storyteller - THE END I really enjoyed it. All the dots connected and the editing was well done. But you still sound like levelcap
"as I watched this man, Christian grey, tie up and spank this eager young women, all I could think of was Greg Popovich"

This is almost a creepy pasta

The NBA Storyteller - THE END I have my own theory I think Leonard saw the change through the years in the league as far as teams moving peices .aka Celtics moving on from pierce and KG for the future , look at the Celtics trade paying off today ... I think kawahi wanted tony Parker and manu traded when they where worth something he wanted to be the spurs priority and the team to start moving on from the Duncan era not as much pop ..
It ok if you are trying to hustle. Don’t paint it in negative light. How come it’s ok for jokim Noah to hustle but not you?? Jokim was the towel boy during Lebron James McDonald’s all American game in high school. Hustling will get you far in life.
Masterful breakdown and presentation bro. Popovich's military background connects him to his expertise in MKultra programming handler. Not to mention the fact that he majored in psychology. Pop is not the only one that utilizes these techniques. He's just one of the more conservative ones that wanna portray this liberal political appeal so the majority of black players can become indoctrinated into his mind control system. He's a great coach, but he's Machiavellian as hell.
Man you got it all confused! You gotta hustle to survive nowadays! Love your vids, keep up the fantastic work! You’re an inspiration for storytellers everywhere!
You should do a video about Wilt "George Marcus" Chamberlain. Supposedly Wilt Chamberlain as a 16-17 year old dominated a pro community league, which included pro Harlem Globetrotters, under the alias "George Marcus" before going to the NCAA. Would be a cool, and mostly unknown, story to tell on your channel!
“While I watched this man, Christian Grey, tie up and spank an eager amateur woman, all I could think about was Gregg Popovich.”
Thank you, I laughed hard.
You say "Yelling at your superstar in public" like Phil Jackson didn't repeatedly throw Kobe and sometimes Shaq completely under the bus during his time coaching them...
SalaCommander26 thank you he's just sad that we took his best player for a 1 year superstar rental
Indeed. Phil is one of the most manipulative people I've ever seen and in my view his style is closer to cult leader than Pop. In his books, he overtly talked about making a specific player the whipping boy in order to make the rest of the team submissive to his vision and actually incorporated spirituality/religion into his coaching. And, like Pop, his tactics produced tangible results. Not so much as an executive though, lol. Show me a great coach in any sport and I'll show you a control freak that heavily utilizes the loyalty garnering tactics described here. Pop, I would describe as more of a military style leader. Did he stunt Manu's individual production? Yes. Did he produce a player that could play as a cog and branch out solo when needed? 100% For those it works for it really works for and maybe ultimately Kawhi did want more of a spotlight on him. So now he goes elsewhere to get it.
Where the video gets ridiculous - Neither person is actually abusive in the relationship, as the cult leader or kidnapper is and that's why so many remain loyal after the partnership ends. The loyalty expectation extended to the workplace. As others have mentioned, Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili have all had significant endorsement deals.
SalaCommander26
As laker fan, I have to disagree. Phil played little games with his guys and the media, but he wasn't running a fuckin cult like pop here. He let his superstars be superstars on the bulls and the lakers. He treated them like professionals and men and individuals. And he would never have ordered his players to call Kawhi out like that in the media and accuse him of faking an injury
The SPURS like quite players like DUNCAN/ KAWHI/ROBINSON and less like IVERSON/ GARNETT...LEBRON would have POP fired after 2 years if he played for POP...POPS not for all players... just like BILL BELICHIK is not for all players.
Duncan, Parker, and Ginobli have not had significant endorsement deals, are you kidding me? For players with their level of accomplishments they make less money than say Paul George who while a very good player has nothing even CLOSE to their level of accomplishments.
Great story telling. Though despite all the exaggerations, Pop is a military man whose career reflects that upbringing. Heck his formative years as a NBA head coach only reinforced those ideals, as he had Robinson (a military kid) & Duncan a quiet & coachable kid (who was open to & almost leaving, but Doc Rivers got in the way of him & Orlando I believe).
But let's look at the military upbringing here which has deep roots, as Gregg, not pop, as player not coach. Gregg played bball is whole life and was good his whole life. Was on a national all star team at 11, finishing 3rd in the world, played high school ball, then college ball at the air force academy rounding out a collegiate career. Gregg was team captain & leading scorer for the air force team btw. He then did his 5 years of required service with the air force the basketball team where he was captain & they won the AAU championship. Gregg even got invited to the 1972 bball Olympic trials. Gregg was good at basketball.
He spent some of those 5 years coaching. Gregg sacrificed his playing career to assistant coach at the air force. But Gregg was playing basketball his whole life, as someone who WORKED his ass off into being a star, playing basketball WITHIN(!) A REGIMENTED LIFESTYLE, playing basketball without the glitz & glamour of today, and even avoiding the bit of it there was in 1970s. Being trained as a coach under Egan a military man, Larry brown (not especially progressive by today's standards), & Don Nelson who was known for treating players like chips on a poker table. This is when we see Pop, was used to a certain control. Control to win by any means necessary. Hell, Gregg had been preparing for this, he just didn't know it. Gregg played his adult career in the Soviet union & eastern Europe, got his degree in Soviet studies & had intelligence training AT THE HEIGHT OF THE COLD FRIGGIN' WAR.
But pop? Pop is a general who has been trying to build a trench family, brothers in arms, his whole career with the goal of winning the war(a championship). Pop knows first hand injuries can ruin players (first 2 seasons as a head coach), so he was progressive about resting them. Pop knows how important it is for his business partners to be more than just business, but family. He & the entire staff was fired by the spurs, forcing him to the warriors. So it being just business wouldn't work out, he tries hard to act like a father figure to shake the very notion of being all about business (so he can find players to commit too). Gregg/Pop, lastly, has been successful. Pop is like Thanos, or Lebron: they were forced early on into choosing how to be successful, and ever since it worked early on, he has been doubling down (or in Thanos' case, halving down) ever since.
Idk, I get Pop. It isn't insidious. However Pop does over step those boundaries by affecting ads, and parts of life way outside the bball realm. You're right sorta kinda I guess. Idk. I'm rambling. Great vid.
Well said! And here is some more. NBA Storyteller talks like trying to get players to check their egos and submit to what is best for the team is a bad thing, but it is the definition of what a good coach is.
I'm absolutely sure there is a lot of truth to what he says in terms of players who will or will not submit to what is best for the team as Popovich - the head coach who is responsible for the team's success - determines it should be. And, as quiet as Kawhi is, I can find no other explanation for him demanding to be traded aside from his personal desire to get better stats and improve his brand. OK, so go already, and godspeed. I like Kawhi and wish only the best for him and sorry he did not fit with the Spurs culture and/or system.
Where this whole thing gets way too sketchy and out-of-bounds is where he calls the Spurs a cult. Here are some definitions for a cult:
1) - a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object.
Well, if that object is the Spurs team, then OK. That's what team sports is about. If it is a person - in this case Gregg Popovich - then I disagree with that suggestion as well as his implication about Popovich being so egotistical that he thinks it is all about him. Does he have an ego? Sure. But not to the degree that it is all about him. It is all about building a winning team for him and he uses his strong personality to reach that goal. Sometimes I don't like what I see - the way he treats press sometimes, for example - but that does not mean that he is a cult leader or that it is all about him. It means he sometimes has a hard time controlling his emotions. I can relate.
2) - a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister.
Nothing sinister or strange going on here. Just a team trying to win.
3) - a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person or thing.
Nope. Just demanding that people check their ego at the door and submit to what is overall best for the team, even when they could get better personal stats if they could just do whatever they want on the floor.
Look, someone has to lead and mold a group of athletes into a team. It SHOULD be the coach, that is their job description. Nowadays we see players having more power than the coach on many teams, so when a coach actually has the power, as they should, we get people calling it cultish behavior. It's not. It's coaching.
zorosedesala thats because they are saturated all in the media, Anderson Cooper and many others.
I honestly never comment on videos, but i´ve watched a couple of yours now and I truly do not understand how these arent getting more attention. The way they are put together is super entertaining and thoughtful. The hard work you put in is evident, you truly are a storyteller.
Keep doing what ur doing.
Greeting all the way from Germany.
Stay blessed!
The reason the Spurs are out of control is Tim the great Duncan retired. Duncan was the Alamo in San Antonio. He was the quiet true General. He could look at a player and put him in check..
DJ 1 Whats funny is that he literally did that.

You have been so right about CIA operative Greg Popovich. You mention how older players go to die there: and now we see Exhibit A Paul Gasol. (he finally got bought out).
This is the most ridiculous and ignorant misrepresentation of facts I've seen in a long time. Pop likes foreign players because they hardly speak English? What? Pop likes players that have gotten over themselves. That are willing to buy into the concept of TEAM and that's in ego driven league. You say that Pop took Tim Duncan out of the game in the finals because he was trying to assert his "dominance" ? Pop took Tim out because they wanted to be able to switch all screens. That's what basketball coaching is. Thanks for pissing on one of the few things that is right about the NBA and that's team play.
Yea this video is fuckin garbage
Lol fr straight up spurs hater
Tyler Snaza all Spurs haters are jacking off all over themselves, because Spurs are finally a bottom tire playoff team.
Tyler Snaza
LOL you spurs fans are going crazy about this video. I thought it was very enlightening, and explains the downside of running an organization with a coach-dictator. It's not for everyone. And what pop did to Kawhi this past year was fucked up. Took it too far. Some superstars prefer the more laid back Phil Jackson style. He managed crazy personalities like MJ, Pippen, Rodman, kobe, and Shaquille, Ron artest. Different style.
These players are grown men running their own business with themselves as the product. They have to maximize their careers. These aren't college kids from the Styx. They might not want some coach tryin to act like their daddy. I'm in my 30s and I get it. Maybe that was cool with Tim, but it's not cool with most people
meeg_2005 so in other words your jealous about the spurs kicking your ass and embarrassing you for the last 20 years. I'm happy with our run, no other team will ever come close. However this video shows how pathetic 99% of the rest of the league is. Let's make up blaten lies because are ass is so sore from the past 20 years. You and everyone whom supports this shit must just be fans of a team or player in which was so close to being something, but then got swept out of the playoffs. Good on ya bitch.
You sir have bright future in politics since you are good at twisting information to fit your narrative. -sonics forever.

I completely disagree with you on this topic, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching all 40 minutes. Great video
Same
OK hold. You had me until the "reason" for making Manu a 6th man. Yes, Pop has a stranglehold on the basketball culture in San Antonio. I grew up there. I was 6 years old when Pop took over. I KNOW SPURS BASKETBALL... better than my own mind. Rewind back to 2005 when Pop officially moved Manu to the bench. The Spurs were playing the Denver Nuggets in the 1st round. These were the Nuggets starring in-their-primes 'Melo and Kenyon Martin. Marcus Camby was an immovable obelisk on defense, Andre Miller was handling the reins at point beautifully (he had 31 points in the first game of the series).
Game 1, the Spurs were beaten 93-87 thanks to some spotty shooting by the big 3 and a ghosting from the bench. Manu was the top scorer for the Spurs in the game because of the difficulties answering the Nuggets' defense - DerMarr Johnson had the Ginobili assignment, so no problem, EXCEPT that Brent Barry gave the Spurs 19 minutes of play with no points on 2 shots taken. I remember specifically thinking in my 14-year-old brain that Brent Barry could not shoot when he was cold off the bench, and it's totally inexcusable to have a Barry on the court who only takes 2 shots. Switching Manu to the bench was the obvious answer.
Game 2: The Spurs make the switch. Barry starts and goes 4/4 from 3 for 16 points, Manu comes off the bench and does his Manu thing with 17 points in 18 freaking minutes. I truly believe that without switching Manu out for Barry, the Spurs don't have a 2005 Championship.
The fact of the matter here is that Manu needed to come off the bench in his prime because it was a smart basketball decision. Here you have a guy who can score the basketball from anywhere, at anytime, even off the bench. Now he's comfortable doing just that, and suddenly there is an additional bargaining tool to bring in any, as you say, impressionable young or international player to take over the starting role.
Of course the Spurs are going to be viewed as a sort of cult. They have ridiculous sustained success, they constantly credit "the system," and Gregg Popovich is a surly old guy with an ever-present chip on his shoulder. The decisions are made for the benefit of the organization, and it works!
I believe in an interview Pop state that it was George Karl that gave him the idea to bring Manu off the bench
C Carlisle no
Shi-Fi oh, I totally understand you and am convinced!
Thanks, the internet!
Def remember the exact moment. Manu to the bench was a strategic role that Manu embraced because it helped the team win.
I was with you up to the point you claimed shooting four three pointers would net you 16 points. You might not remember this as well as you think.
I WANTED TO FINISH EDITING MY VIDEO MAN! and your gonna drop a 40 minute banger outta nowhere. guess it's coming out another day. smh

Good news... if anyone lives in Canada. I have an Amazon.ca storefront with some good deals.
Check out the link to my Amazon.ca storefront below.
amzn.to/2zQewFh
Buy something and let me know about... get some discount(s)... alright ;)™
Let's begin with me being sorry for my english, I', way more comfortable in german and french.
Ok...so...I feel the need to balance the scale, bring the opposing perspective to the discussion. First, I love how an idea, that came to you while watching a movie, was fleshed out to the size of a documentary. In my opinion though, the narrartive is a bit too one-sided. I'm guessing that was intentional but as a journalist, I just feel that pressing and indoctrinated need to present both sides.
The cultish side to the San Antonio Spurs is definitely there and cannot be ignored, once you spot the clues and dive into it. I've had that revelation myself, a few years ago, when I became a bit infatuated with Coach Pop and wanted to understand how he works. I attended one of his coaching clinics, read and watched everything in existence. Once you that, you can't deny that his methods of teaching follow the path you skillfully described. We can agree on that.
Were we disagree, is the stated fact that it has a negative impact on the persons involved. As a former professional player, I learned that Basketball is a team sport, where there is no place for egotistical teammates. Sooner or later, they will destroy everything that you've build as a collective and rob the lesser skilled players of their achievements. What those egomaniacs don't understand, is that not ONE championship has been won by ONE player. I don't care if you are Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant or LeBron James, there is a team behind every trophy and while the star is responsible for a big chunk of the wins, his career will depend on the environement, meaning his teammates, his coaches, his front office, but first of all, the stars ability to respect his peers and they bring to the table. Just like in real life, mutual respect comes first. If you put yourself before others all the time, don't respect them and think you are superior, your environment will evolve in a negative way, which in the long run, will have a negative impact on your career. Just take Carmelo Anthony as an example. He always had to be the uncontested superstar, didn't really give a shit about his peers and look where it got him?
What the Spurs, especially Pop, are trying to do is implement and uphold a system, that prevents such behavior. While the stars have to accept some drawbacks when it comes to their branding, ego and financial success, they get to play in a stable and structured environement, where the 15th player on the roster has worth, a sense of achievement and is respected by the guys he plays with and for. Hell, a whole bunch of players wouldn't even be millionaires, if it weren't for the Spurs. While I get the negativity attached to that whole system, it's based on the premise that the "amercican way of life" is the only viable one. Money, power and stardom above all else. The individual counts more than the collective. In my experience, you can't achieve greatness alone and you have to respect the people that walk the way with you, especially if you are supposed to lead them to success. Sometimes you'll have to yell and be mean, but it's for the collective. A team needs a clear leader, if you want to achieve anything at all. The lack of just that, is why we mock the Kings, the Suns and every other team that doesn't have a clearly defined sytem and someone to rally around. You'll have to accept that your ego will take a hit but you'll also be part of something bigger than yourself. It's a team sport. I have the feeling that, somehow, this aspect of the game got lost along the way, in all the comercials, shoe deals and individual glory. Everybody wants to be like Mike now. But at the end of the day, the best teams in history were based on mutual respect, playing the right way, the understanding that you are part of a collective where the sum is greater than its parts. Think Bill Russell's Celtics, the 70s Knicks, the 80s Celtics, even the Warriors of today.
There is a reason why Wilt Chamberlain never lived up to his potential. He was just to damn selfish. The Spurs have found a way to take the selfishness out of the game and focus on the common goal of playing basketball the right way: together.
I wish I could articulate this better but, as I said, my english is not good enough. To be clear, I love this video and I have the same reservations when it comes to Popovich. I'm just not sure he's the evil cult leader you make him out to be, even though I'm pretty sure your one-sidedness on this specific topic was intentional, which makes it even better. You couldn't have gone that far, if you hadn't fully commited to it. Nonetheless, I felt compelled to give my take on the topic. Keep doing what you're doing and stay frosty/beautiful :)
Your English is perfect. I don't have the patience to write what you wrote myself.
Maybe someday. . .
where is the cultish side? Being a good person, trusting your teammates, being apart of a collective goal greater then yourself? Its integrity, pride in your work, and selflessness vs Ego, Selfishness, and pride in stuff you have. that is what this is. Businesses that do right by the community they are in aren't going to make the most money aren't gonna be the glamour media darlings its not just in sports Chikenfila perfect example whether or not you agree with political or religion ideology of their owner when has Chickenfila not done right by the community or its employees? and when have they sacrificed quality of service or food for a better bottom line? Search it Its hard to find. Same idea search for situations that the Spurs have rushed injured players to play? They missed Danny Green's injury cause he was out wanting to play improving on his already diagnosed injury why would you think something is more wrong? And find a player Spurs have fucked over their employees sacrificed quality of their product for a better bottom line ? Pretty hard to find
This is very well articulated. There is way more give and take to the situation than is presented in this video. It either cynically caters to the idea that nuance gets you nowhere on UA-cam or shows an extreme narrow mindedness and animus to Gregg Popovich and the Spurs, along with the idea that star players should be worshipped, catered and kowtowed to at the expense of team. Is the maker of this video a Lakers or Suns fan, perhaps?
This is good..
TuuTer thanks for that.
Although I still disagree on the cultish take. Every community you find yourself in, any group or tribe or family will have some similarities to a "cult".
This video assumes that the players are all completely submissive to Pop. Even Duncan had his disagreements with Pop...
Kawhi left because he wanted starpower... simple as that.
At least, what I believe is Kawhi's family influenced his decisions. They must've guilt tripped him into asking for a trade to LA and try and brand his name as a superstar like Kobe Bryant or something.
Discovering this channel is definitely a highlight of my life
Finally a viral video, UA-cam really is hating on this channel. You need more subs, your videos are amazing
Kawhi got tired of the old man yelling at him a professional, grown man...introverts speak from actions, and his actions said I'm not playing for you
ufster81 not really. If you seen the Spurs system as of late, it’s consistent with its flaws showing more and more overtime. I’ll guess and say that Kawhi wanted out before things really got out of control
Any mofo gonna pay me 18 million a year? Sheeit, He can talk bad about my mammy for that kind of money.
@@RobertGarcia-wv8vx
Everyone has a price specially when the moneys in front of you...SPURS will be ok but not getting out of the WEST in 2018-19 and TORONTO can be another #1 seed like with DEROZEN in 2017-18..
KAWHI'S a better 2 way player,since he dominated LEBRON 2014 FINALS before STEPH did it 2015... so TORONTO can take the EAST, along with of course BOSTON,PHILLY,CHICAGO, and INDIANA since LEBRON'S with the LAKERS...
WHOM like the YANKEES and CELTICS always magically gets the Superstar's...when is CHARLOTTE HORNETS going to get some Superstar's.
MAYBE KYRIE/DURANT to CHARLOTTE 2019 or KLAY THOMPSON and KAWHI since they'll all be free agents soon...or luck up and draft ZION BABY THANOS,R.J. BARRETT,OR CAM REDDISH

Robert Garcia thats called having no dignity
Well I appreciate the effort it took to make this. way too much reading between the lines. you're totally wrong about Jonathan Simmons Jonathan Simmons was not a 19 year old. he was an older player that's been a long time in the D-League had the ability to make NBA a Payday. the Spurs were not going to give him one, he couldn't draw interest with the restricted tag on it him so the Spurs did him the favor of renouncing his rights. They would later be thanked by his agent publicly. The Spurs are aware they have a small Market and they've decided to run a program of Player Development and the team play, much like a college team, and much like a college team the coach is more important than anyone player. unfortunately all your psychodrama is contradicted by Kawhi Leonard's letter to the San Antonio community praising Gregg Popovich and thanking the Spurs organization. As it is with the last majority of ex Spurs players, you forgot to mention that the current Dynasty. Golden State, have modeled themselves after the Spurs Dynasty. And Popovich coaches proliferate the sidelines of the other NBA teams all ALSO singing his praises. You are trying too hard and revealing the ugliness if "hot take" journalism.
Yeah and the thing about the foreign players is stupid! Of course they are grateful about it most foreign countries don't have what we have in this country. And dealing with American kids who though can be poor to many of us, but still not some foreign forms of poverty. He must be a guy sitting the bench or never picked for a real team because every sports franchise is a business and you have bosses you answer too and follow their rules. And if you didn't know look at Bobby Knight, or Phil Jackson and many where it's the coaches way or the highway and he goes for team players not one man shows! You put out good work into this with flawed info and a flawed look at the working world. That's a JOB! It's only our entertainment it's their job. I've seen no one tell their boss what and how to run their company. Only now can you go to HR and cry like a baby and try to change the work place. But now people are so called working on UA-cam stuck in your basements not dealing with real life. Now check, a lot of his players did and do have, as he does a Military Background Structure! Kawhi is of the new era of cry baby spoiled athlete's that see the glitz and glame that is not in the spurs values! What Gregg did is show you the real Kawhi if he leaves Toronto, he's a player all about the lime light!
Cold facts! "stuck in your basements not dealing with real life."
An interesting viewpoint. The alternate view is the one that leads to the old saying that there's no "I" in "team". One body made of many parts, each with different functions. The Spurs have successfully epitomised that for a long time.
Those who don't understand the concept of team can only see the world as simply a set of individuals. Relationships are reduced to simply a set of negotiations or power plays. Such people have no concept of "us" or "team". Theories such as the one that was so well explained in this video are unavoidable to people with such a world view.
My how the spurs have fallen
Watched the video and thought the idea was interesting, hilarious, and sad at the same time. It pretty much comes down to the simple fact that not all personalities click. I see Kawhi as a chill dude who does not need constant yelling and who really felt he was being restricted in Pops system.
I don't think one of Kawhi's main reasons for wanting out of SA was the style of play, the system, or the actual play on the court with the Spurs because he still produced big numbers there. It was when Kawhi got hurt, and the Spurs doubted the seriousness of his injury initially, I believe from that point on that Kawhi had made the decision in his mind that he was finished with Dictator Pop and his Spurs. The Spurs all teamed up against Kawhi, Tony and Ginobli both said critical remarks about Kawhi's injury claims. I do believe Kawhi was faking the injury after a while, but at that point when he was actually okay to play, the mistrust and damage was already done. I really hope in 10 years or so that they make a documentary about this whole odd ordeal. I also really think Timmy D retiring in 2016 was a massive setback for Pop's control over Kawhi. I was originally siding with the Pop and the Spurs, but I've come to understand since then why Kawhi wanted out.
@@QuestionEverything562 agreed. I didnt get the full story but you explained it well.
@@BoneThugsRTheBest I agree on the part about the yelling and berating though, Kawhi, nor do most players respect that these days. I can handle a guy yelling at me if I make a serious mistake that may endanger peoples' lives, but over one mishap in the 2nd qtr of a regular season game, like chill Pops lol.
Lmao, that popovich thumbnail is so nasty

This is the video that's going to take this channel off. UA-cam's going to let it happen , i can feel it.
Jon Duncan
LOL just download it and re-upload
meeg_2005 where at?
Jon Duncan he got a sub from me for it and it's the first video of his I've seen...
Jon Duncan
Bro im subscribed to your chanell too..
Keep uo the good work :)
Its been in my Recommended for 2 weeks.
I watched another one of his videos and now I'm subscribed. 5 videos later, Stockton doesn't have a left...and I'm here.
what a great video. someone with an original thought for once. for some reason though, the volume keeps cutting off during random segments of the video. sometimes for 15+ seconds at a time of no volume 3 different times.
He got copyright strikes, idk if you saw the comment but no one told you for like a month so there you go
I would surely invest in your channel if it was a stock because you’re bringing something new to the game.
tony is, hands-down, the best point guard I have ever witnessed live. i was shocked at how good he was, cuz he was rarely ever discussed as the best at his position. but that game def proved, to me, that Tony is one of the more underrated & under-appreciated PG's in modern-nba history.
At least try to make sense. Your editing and storytelling is still amazing but you make no sense some times.
Jonathan Simmons was a wildcard but that's not why he was let go. He wasn't going to play too many minutes on the Spurs. Kawhi and Danny Green were still on the team and he wasn't going to be able to contribute enough to pay him 20 Million. Also, Simmons isn't a young player. He was 27 when he started getting minutes on the Spurs and I don't see how that's young, at least not as a basketball player.
You talk like David West left the Spurs and went on to put up 25ppg in Golden State. He's doing exactly what he did in San Antonio, sit on bench and play roughly 15 minutes. He left coz he realized there was a team that could make it easy for him to win a ring.
"He never played Tracy McGrady", what are you talking about? There was a reason McGrady joined the Spurs, because he was old and injury riddled and that was his last hope for a ring. You're telling he should've gotten minutes over Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Kawhi Leonard (or even Danny Green for that matter)?
So, tell me why LaMarcus decided to sign an extension with the Spurs? I'm sure you'll try to make him out be a pedophile or something now just because he signed with them.
He was trying to suppress Kawhi and making sure he wasn't getting any "endorsements", but Duncan played in the same city and still got plenty of endorsements. Is it really everyone else's problem that he's bland and awkward and not marketable?
Tim Duncan was overshadowed by Popovich according to you, but Tim Duncan is considered a top 10 player of all time and greatest PF of all time, how exactly was he overshadowed?
Everybody ripped on Popovich when he decided to bench Tim Duncan and yeah it's forgiven for the same reason that LeBron's move to Miami is forgiven, he delivered on his promise. Spurs won the title just a season after that.
So, who do we believe? Pretty much everyone who has ever played for the Spurs who talk about Popovich with respect even after they leave the franchise or a random guy on UA-cam trying to get people to click on his videos? That is a toughie.
raghuram purohit you sir took this vid a little too personal, it’s just a fun video get over yourself
Finally someone standing up for the truth.
raghuram purohit
As an nba fan, I was annoyed that Kawhi did not come back last year. But there's a lot of truth in this video man. I can imagine Pop is too much for most stars. I'm a lifetime laker fan, I know that you don't have to be like pop just to win rings. Kawhi did enough for that team. Hope he's happier now. I wouldn't want to be treated like a college kid my whole career. Phil was definitely not perfect and could be annoying, but he treated everybody like men, and as individuals
meeg_2005 exactly this vid was a joke but still had truth to it
B Fresh
I'll bet you it's NO JOKE for Kawhi. Lol
YES you posted. I’ve fallen in love with your content lately. I’ve been going thru a heartbreak and I’ve been binge watching all your videos on the couch lately and it’s been helping a lot and I tuned on post notifications and I just wanna say please don’t stop. Your videos are SO good and amazingly high quality. Better than almost, scratch that, all other nba youtubers.
Damn thats tuff man, ive been through the same and honestly its gonna get better, but its also ur decision if it happens sooner or later, watching his videos and forgetting about it is a great step forward so keep it up and hope u get better my man 🤙
Miguel Miranda Thanks man. I’m doing better but still not 100. I’ll get there no worries. These videos and basketball take and have always taken my mind off the worst
John Abercrombie yeah, you will get there stay strong my man 💪
John Abercrombie
Oh man. Heartbreak?? What happened. You should check some great controversial NBA analysis videos on "RiggedBA" channel. Whoever makes the vids really knows his nba
idk know how this guy doesn't have 100k subscribers dope editing and says nothing but intelligent facts.
Y’all think this man is crazy, there is some truth in what he says!
They did the deal with the Raptors because they received DeMar DeRozan, probably the best talent swap out of all the trade offers they got. But apparently it's because Pop "wanted to send him out to a cold place outside the country". That's ridiculously stupid to think.
It definitely was a 'fuck you' to Leonard. Spurs fan since 7 years old... (27 now).
something is wrong with the audio, gets cut off at certain spots
Did you mix in some of Verdi’s Aida? Impressive. A good choice for this subject. Kawhi is a baller and has been since before I watched him locally at SDSU.
U are the Tarantino of the nba UA-cam community. Way ahead of the rest of the flock and changed the game. I follow like 5 different channels and I’ve watched them all try to copy your style and fail over the past year. Keep it up. This shit is art!
EXCELLENT. I've been waiting for someone to tell the truth about Popovich and connect the dots on Kawhi... very good job.
And the chattering nabobs of the NBA press are enablers in Pop's lie. Why? Because Americans buy into authoritarian parenting, and Pop's asshole behavior with his players is admired as the firm approach that every child really needs.
@@SapphicTwist So you think Popovich is a bad person? If he was then Tim Duncan, Parker, Ginobili etc all would've wanted to leave.
Nope. Americans DO buy into authoritarian parenting, and Pop takes advantage of that in getting the free pass he gets from media and everyone else. A master manipulator covers his tracks...Pop' contemptuous power tripping couldn't be more in-your-face... A "true Marxist"--WTF? There are about 27 "true Marxists" in this country, and Pop is not even close to that description... but I do agree with you, Good on Kawhi for chasing freedom...
you need someone to think for you i see
Weast 11 are there any other adults that you would like to speak for?
I'm so glad that I stayed awake to watch this
You are really a next level kind of youtuber, props.
As a Spurs fan (some obvious bias) with decent knowledge of speech and writing techniques, I have to say that this seems a little sensationalist, but I have to respect the effort you put into this video regardless. I see why people say you’re an underrated content creator despite my disposition with this one.
Side note: Those Pivot Stickfigure Animator clips brought back some pretty sweet memories.
The End? Please don't go Senpai
Rusty Buckets recommended your channel in one of his videos and I have been watching pretty much nothing but your videos for 3 days. I can’t stress this enough, The NBA Storyteller is truly the best NBA show on UA-cam.
Try chroniclesofjudah144
wtf this vid is garbage wym
Man your videos are just outstanding, you don't do it for the views which is something I truly respect, a lot of youtubers are fake
I had to rewatch this and twist up a blunt brodie. This was TOO good of a hypothesis.
I've been really critical of this video thus far, but even as a Spurs die hard I have to admit it was extremely unprofessional and rude for Manu and Tony to attack Kawhi.
Stephen Montez all good, ur an on topic kinda guy.. so I support any criticism
completely Unprofessional to not let team Doctors see you when you making 19 million dollars? And when did Manu say anything disrespectful said we have to move on because Kawahi's camp kept saying he was coming back on certain dates and never showing up.. Sister even made comments on Instagram. Pop didn't expect Kawhi to play rest of season he said it Pop so how does that sound like pressuring Kawahi to play ?
Stephen Montez they called out kawai pussyass......couldn't handle it like a man
Does nobody get that Tony was asked how his injury compared to Kawhi's? This is exactly why they asked it, though, and he unfortunately took the bait.
Josh Siegel
Even if he was baited, he should've known better than say "oh I'm old as shit and my injury was 100x worse".
Wow, you, my friend, are the artistic equivalent of a mad scientist. Awesome video as per usual. The quality level of your content is just from another world, thank you!
NBA Storyteller is the best channel on youtube. The whole planet should subscribe.
In all the routine and flashiness of youtube nowadays, this is the content that I love to discover. People making great content, just cause they love quality content. Really good pacing, well-written script and top-notch editing. Love your work dude, seriously love it.
Stelios Magoutis do you know other channels like this?
Channels where they're doing their things because that's what they love and not chasing views or subscribers
David Robinson was a shell of himself by '03. Pop won his second ring without Robinson contributing much and the next three without him.
Stephen Montez Tim Duncan 03 best run of a superstar in history to me.
He was part of the CIA as well back in the day!
San Antonio is a military city as well
Francis Ak I mean David Robinson was a Navy man and his nick name was the Admiral 😁
I like your perspective bro. Ignore the negative comments. Well don’t ignore them, but don’t let them affect how you produce your work. Speak your truth. It’s refreshing to hear something other than what the mainstream media wants us to hear
"Pops loves taking foreign palyers because they don't easy and are submissive." Look, I'm not a Spurs fan(Bulls fan) but I respect what Pops has done for the league and game of basketball. Anyway, you do know all the foreign players he has had know English, right? You do know the best palyer during their 20 year stretch was from the Virgin Islands, which is a piece of US land and is English taught at a young age over there. So yeah....I really don't understand what you're going on about if you are like, "Spurs fans are salty." LOL!
Goro Majima Nope spurs always go Foriegn before pop was coaching its a small market team idiot they whole nba is now euro and they play unlike kawhi Kyrie LeBron always requesting trades Black folks to crybaby
This literally blew my mind. I love the perspective of this take, super accurate!!
Ask Dennis Rodman how the Spurs, Pop, Robinson and Elliot specifically blackballed him in the press when he was traded to the Bulls after his time with the spurs. Rodman wrote about it in his book. Pop never liked Rodman from the get-go and made him suffer during his time in San Antonio. Insulted him in the media, cut his minutes, DN-P’d him even though he averaged 20 rebounds and played with heart. But because he dressed strange off the court and wasn’t a choir boy, Robinson and Elliot alienated him under Pop’s orders. Kawhi is the first superstar player Pop couldn’t control and it bothered him. They didn’t want Kawhi to have endorsements, commercials or other off the court business and tried to control his stats too. Pop famously said on a TNT broadcast to Reggie Miller, he didn’t want Kawhi to average more than 25ppg. He said it was bad for the team smh. Kawhi has to defend the best player on the opposing team and be the leading scorer? Pop only wants international players and G-leaguers because it’s easier for them to buy-in to the spurs cult-ish ways. It’s good Kawhi left. The San Antonio media who are in cohorts with Pop still taking pot shots at Kawhi. BTW Jon Simmons and Dedmon were both ex-communicated after the 2016-2017 season because they had disagreements with Pop. Pop yelled at Simmons all season because he wasn’t allowed to dunk.
Great points.
Man i wish Kawhi wasnt so shy and said all of this. Coming from Simmons and Dedmon it doesnt have much impact, but if it came from an MVP candidate people would listen. Pop is just too old school for the new NBA
Team Dream
WTF?? POP needs some LETRELL SPREWELL action, fight time...you don't cross the line on you're superstars, MAGIC,BIRD,STEPH,PAUL PIERCE,DIRK but if they don't leave their brainwashed...good for KAWHI having a brain...(GET OUT!!)
Okay now Dennis Rodman now has more clout then Pop lmfao he wasn't even the fucking coach dumbass
you idiot dennis rodman was no longer on the team when pop took over.
That's one trippy thumbnail you got there...never thought of Pop and Ayahuasca in the same topic before- thanks for that.
They say once a coach stops yelling at you, he stops caring about you.
You got my sub. I have thought about this man in this light for some years now. This whole passed year cemented the evidence in this video as fact.
Funny that Pop started the whole resting stars thing, but Lebron is the one that catches all the shit for it. Strange how Lebron haters act these days.
Interesting take especially when you add in Kawhi Leonard's current situation. Masai Ujiri the Raptors Team President said in an interview after introducing Nick Nurse as the new Head Coach that he hired a psychologist to interview his coaching candidates to understand their mental makeup and how they would handle certain situations/players. And in Masai's words Nurse passed with flying colors, it's going to be extremely interesting to see how that relationship develops this season.
Dude your videos are fucking grade A quality.
Been a watching a ton of your videos lately.
Honestly you could make commentary videos about anything and I’d watch it. You have a great style.
this man is so consistent
Not like your Rockets huh...
F P Touche
Professional sports is littered with psychopaths and sociopaths. At 21:00 the video uses the example of other teams siding with the star (Bulls and Lakers), but in those scenarios MJ and Kobe are the sociopaths. Pop runs his team like Alex Ferguson ran Manchester United - he's the head sociopath. Nobody cares about the human cost, because the sociopaths bring home the trophies - this is the reality of ALL professional sports. Not all stars are sociopaths, Curry appears quite balanced (time will tell). That said, I admire Kawhi's decision - I hope he wins one with Toronto.
Update, Kawhinos has achieved it.
Ibironke Semowo lol
Bro wtf I don't remember you having these much subs and views!! Congrats G you made it
The way you talk about Popovich reminds me of Vince Mcmahon and his relationship with several wrestlers.
You say that Pop kills stars. But how? Yeah Tracy didn't get many minutes but it wasn't just some power play by Pop. He had injury issues his entire career and by the time he was on the Spurs he was already done. Pau is no longer the scoring powerhouse he was, he lost his speed and what little strength he had by the time he got to SA. If anything Pop has only shown that he makes players the best they can be. Parker was picked 28th, Manu 57th, Mills 55th, Simmons and Green both undrafted and with the 1st pick Duncan has become at least a top 3 (if not the best) PF of all time. So the notion that he "kills stars" is just ridiculous. Manu didn't say anything really bad about Kawhi, he just said it sucks that he's hurt, Parker has been known to start shit so that's not too surprising from him. The reason Kawhi was traded to Toronto, was because it was by far the best offer. Toronto was dumb enough to give SA an all-star and a young rising center for a rental and player (who is one of my favs) that wasn't living up to his contract. I don't hate or sleight Kawhi for his decision but the ways he went about it weren't ideal for either party. Basketball isn't about the individual, its about the team. I usually love your content but, this ain't it chief
still gotta say well made video though
Chase Coggins my answer will be in video form... above (lots of words I think u didn't hear...)
damn at first i thought this was sus but then it started making a lot of sense. i love your videos/takes. very thought provoking
just sayin: tim duncan is basically a unanimous top 10 player and best pf of all time even with the pop shadow thing you mentioned
im probably going to jail 😂😂😂.. whew!
im probably going to jail top 5
Bruh, are you a Trump supporter? Just asking cause a lot of Popovich haters tend to be one of them.
Let's Read Magazines- From the 90s i said unanimous top 10. not everyone thinks hes top 5 but its hard to find people who think hes not top10
damiester1 Why are you trying to politicize his comment? Fukn snowflake... you guys are OBSESSED with trump.
Bro I don't even like basketball, but I like your videos makes me laugh for days.
This channel is blowing up and I love it, you deserve it
I think there is a word for this, oh yeah its accountability.
I just hope Kawhi shines with Raptors!
I think he did.
He 's the mvp for the finals if raptors make it tom (june 10th for the 4th win). Help them Lord please!
Shined.
HE DID
Mission: Accomplished
The fact Tim Duncan grew braids only in retirement shows you how much of a military boot camp environment it is. Popovich didn't allow him to do so
Great video. Phil Jackson was very similar to Popovich. I remember Brian Cooks last season in LA. Cook had worked on his game and developed a 3 point shot. Playing with Robert Horry taught him the value of being able to stretch the floor from the power forward position. Even though Robert Horry was allowed to shoot open 3's, and even though Cook was a very efficient shooter, Jackson was having none of it. Jackson would not give Cook any playing time. Then when there was an injury to Horry and Jackson had to play Cook because they didn't have a back up power forward Phil Jackson was livid with Cook. I remember one game where Cook had 19 points in the first half, was 5 for 7 from the 3 point line, and the team was up 20 points at half time and Phil was pissed. He was in Cook's face yelling at him and didn't play him again for the rest of the game. The very next day there were trade rumors because Jackson was shopping Cook around the league to get rid of him. Just because he didn't submit to Phil's ego.
This video is truly mind altering and a really amazing visual essay. It uncovers a scary blind spot about a man (Greg) who is deeply manipulative and a bully. There are some stories that I have accepted and never looked at critically, but they have a really neat (too neat) quality to them. I.E. The Spurs are a well run and winning organization (They have 5 championships to boot) with a coach that, at his core, cares about his players. Then, why are the Spurs’s stars not the faces of the NBA? Why does San Antonio feel like the Montreal Expos of the 1990’s? The Expos were rarely televised, were in French speaking Canada and few people showed up to the ballpark. San Antonio has none of those problems yet it still feels so isolated. (Yes okay SanAntonio has only one professional team and is in nowhere Texas where the most important sight is the Alamo but other organizations have captured the spotlight (Think Golden State, Cleveland... Bulls of the early 90’s) A true subculture when the NBA is American Popular Culture.
Can’t wait to watch Part II
You sir have a bright future at CNN.
DAMN...this was so thorough. Amazing analysis and breakdown. You have a new subscriber sir.
Dope!
This video is made by someone who never played a minute in organized sports...feel bad for you man
The spurs have made the playoffs 27 seasons since 89-90. Proves they’re a winning franchise. Pop started coaching in 1996. They drafted Duncan in 97 and have made the playoffs for 21 straight. 21 seasons is there streak. That’s called winning. For that coach to be there and make the playoffs 20 in a row! He must be doing something right! He been with the spurs for 25 years. Its called coaching! Which is a lost art of sports. Kawahi wants to be let loose, I understand. But But with out Pop the spurs probably wouldn’t be the storied franchise that it is.
I am a Spurs fan, so this could completely come off biased, but the first point he makes about T-mac, Gasol, Simmons and Lee, seems so out of context. He acts as if they are in their prime. Gasol is 38, how is he supposed to be this dominant scorer. I can't think of any center in the late thirties, who was a dominant scorer. And if you watched him play, he isn't agile enough to even beat any bigs. T-Macs career was completely done. By the time he got to the spurs, he was no way better than parker, ginobili, green, or pretty much any guard we had. And the point about Pop taking duncan off as way of asserting his dominance over the players just seems ridiculous. Criticising one of the greatest coaches of all time over a decision which if you really look at it, seems pretty logical. he is only saying this because in his mind, duncan is a better defender than diaw, so he must be on, even though, diaw is a better perimeter defender, and can switch on guards. Do you honestly think he has more basketball knowledge than someone who has one five championships. The point about simmons not playing within a system makes no sense, considering when manu first came in the league, he would play the complete opposite way to the way pop wanted to play, yet he still turned out to be one of the greatest spurs of all time. the real reason pop didnt resign simmons, was because he wanted more game time, which we could not give him, with green, anderson, kawhi, gay and ginobili all playing the same position as him. That is as far as i got into the video. Couldn't stand hearing what else he had to say.
Nicholas Buckley I agree with you. I’m also a spurs fan and I couldn’t stand this
Cheer up sport
I am a Spurs fan and a fan of Pop and I LOVE this video! A lot of what you said makes total sense. I really like Pop and respect Pop for the most part but I don't respect what he and SAS did to Kawhi. That's life however, you can't be perfect 100% of the time and things just didn't work out for Kawhi and the Spurs. They had a good run together and they should just move on and find success without each other without the bitterness. I'm glad Kawhi that so far Kawhi is showing that he's more than just a system player and is deserving of being called a top 5 player. In the end of the day, players have to do what they think is best for their long-term health...what happened to Thomas should be a precautionary tale for ALL players.
Great vid. My casual fan wife’s mind has been altered... she’s now questioning the Spurs way. Still love my Spurs but you did point out some stuff I considered for a while.
Alot of the stuff your talking about is mk ultra
...and the rest is nonsense.

Chronicles just dropped a shit load of new videos last night after being gone for like a month and half. He talks about Pop the MKULTRA handler from air force intelligence all the time. Lol.
..all of those reasons is why they probably feel like Derozan will fit their system. He's already spoken about his mental health issues and after the nightmares Lebron gave Toronto for years, especially last season with the coach being fired and what not i cant think he's in any better a place. Pray for him..
Gilgamesh Indaflesh i was about to take your comment seriously until “after the nightmares lebron gave toronto” 😂😂😂
Why does the audio cut at random times throughout thee video?? I watched this before and that never happened....
Love the video dude. As a Raptors fan I hope that we can offer Kawhi a better environment to flourish. Also quick note, at 28:46 you showed the Raptors in the bottom 5 on Facebook, it looks bad, HOWEVER the Raps are among the top 12 on Instagram. Still not a top franchise, but the YOUTH are warming up to the cold north :)
Dude you put into words how I always felt about Popp. I never could verbalise it properly but something always felt off about him. I mean it's technically a legitimate way to run a team but it's still kinda creepy.
Die hard Spurs fan since 9(29 now) and I loved the video haha can't say I agree but this was awesome.
Makes sense even the media states that Tim kept everyone in line....good video homie....
𝗞𝗮𝘄𝗵𝗶 won this one. They shipped him to Toronto, he won a ring then he got to play in LA like he wanted to originally and he might get another ring with the Clippers this year.
my favorite parts of the video are when the sounds cuts
What the hell kind of title and thumbnail and into is this?
The Spurs were ridiculed in those stupid commercials.
First of all these HEB commercials were hard back in the day 😂😂 good video
