@JoeFarrier-ft3hyNah. Pop's greatness is not just seen in his own accolades, but also the people he has trained. Like steve kerr, who took his principles of offense to the warriors and completely changed their franchise. Or becky hammon, who went on to take over the WNBA. Or kawhi, who came into the league as a 3 and D spot up shooter...but pop saw the greatness in him, and steadily helped him evolve into a kobe like superstar
@@kuruptzZz Keep telling yourself that pal. Phil Jackson all the way. No other team three-peated twice, save for the bulls. Phil accomplished it three times, once with the Lakers, and twice with the Bulls. The historical record has Phil at the top w/ Pat Riley, Greg Popavich a distant second. Make no mistake, Popavich is a great coach in his own right. If he puts the pieces around VW, there's no telling how many more championships he'll win. What I love about Victor is his attitude; the NBA is just another playground for him, and he fits in quite nicely. With some time and some added muscle weight to his frame, he'll be a force in this league and the Spurs will become the team to beat.
@@sovereignruler You don't think popovich could've done similarly with those legendary rosters? I do. But who knows. I think they are equally great in their own way. Jackson at managing superstars egos and getting them to buy in (easier said than done)...and popovich for getting the most out of his guys and helping them reach their peak
@@kuruptzZz Is it possible? Sure. However, He wasn't the caretaker of such a talent pool. So, we can only evaluate him on his record and the talent he coached. Having said that, his overall performance is legendary on its own, and he certainly did manage to bring the best out of his players. Five championships is nothing to sneeze at pal.
In all the decades, I've watched Popovich's interviews, this is the most candid and revealing penetrating response I've ever seen. It's like he finally felt like just telling the media what they really wanted to know. He was just waiting for the opportunity to respond to the right question. Go Spurs cow.
First comment he makes about Wemby's maturity is about his parents. We need more of that recognition and responsibility placed by public figures in society.
I don’t think he will coach Wemby for long maybe another 6-8 years and then he’s out could get a ring or 2 but then I think he’s gonna go and new coach will either be great or a bad fit causing a couple bad years for the spurs and then Wemby finds a way out the spurs and gets a couple more rings and retires within a 14-15 year long career
He has mellowed out a great deal. I am glad to see. Mortality is hitting home, realizing he only has a couple of more NBA years left, he's enjoying what's left.
"I think one has to be careful not to assume you have the answers." This is why I love Pop. In an age where we have know-it-all politicians, social media personalities, etc, with an answer for everything---98% of which is false, lies, or purposely misleading, by the way---it's refreshing to see even a GOAT coach humble enough to know when he might not know something. That's a skill in and of itself, and one not many people have (or want to have).
am sure he is so gladddddd, to get an player like this this guy is the true ,, size ball handle this one you keep. believe me POP goes to bed and say glad we have him ,, very very good personal to seek him out. VIctor has it.
If Wemby learns to love running the floor, he'll be unstoppable for a long time. He's young, fast, and loves the game. Obviously, his conditioning is terrific now, already.
as a coach do you look at someones skill set to meet your objectives or should a coach look at some ones size then try to fix a square peg into a circle... He has developed a strong perimeter presence that gives Him tremendous advantage over anybody who coaches against Him... the 'big man days' are long gone and any coach whose not adapting to current revolution of the 7 footers will not have any competitive edge in steering His team to any intended team goals...@@enterpassword3313
@@enterpassword3313 that's his style and the style of the NBA right now, hell learn, he's 19. I can only imagine the dumb shit you were doing, and I know the dumb shit I was doing at 19 (at war other teenagers in Vietnam, sadly, doing the bidding of the shittiest people on the planet, government employees and rich assholes) and this kid is wise beyond his years.
He was candid, but he still has some hall of fame level evasion tactics. Like the question where the lady asked what specifically Wemby is working on and it felt like Pop wasn't about to reveal any secret weapons. Pop knows what he's working with here though, you can see it shine through in the interview.
Frank, incisive, unadorned, cerebral, accomplished, feet-on-the-ground. In a sober society, Popovich should be at least vice president, better still POTUS.
Could not agree more, imagine Kobe doing a video analysis on Wemby like he did to the other players, he'd be so happy to talk about this kid's potential.
Why is it that the reporters can ask intelligent questions of Coach but when it comes to the players the reporters ask dumb, stupid questions to get a laugh?
"his parents have already done the job". We need parents (a role model, any of them must be consistent and coherent), teachers (social and scientific knowledge in public schools) and coaches (emotional intelligence and leadership). The balance of the latter three factors is what defines Wembanyama. "He's from Europe, they have culture, speak languages, they travel, they are knowledgeable, they are civil". Pops, you nailed it. In Europe we learn two things: there is no race, everyone is equal. Allez Victor, continue d'écrire ta jeune histoire, le meilleurs est à venir
@@bigpoppa3999 it matters when people get fanatic and ignorant, like the new generations that get idiocy on social media instead of public schools. Otherwise, you will never see a serious european politician or official saying "god bless spain, god bless france, god bless germany". Or taking an oath on a bible.

There is still some work to be done, especially about getting rid of toxic nationalism and faschist neopopulism, which severily affected the 20th century.

I can't watch more than 2 or 3 minutes of this, and I don't know how Pop can endure 17 minutes of talk about Wemby. Did they stop talking about Victor at some point?
It’s too bad Greg Popavich thinks about Webanyama this way, I understand he’s frustrated because of his arrest yesterday, but you shouldn’t talk about the players on your team like this, FREE Webanyama!
Well let's see if he learns how to play him, he's been a coach over 20 years he should've know what he was getting, let's see how long he takes to figure him out
His honest feeling are he's glad the nba rigged the draft in his favor. Ironic that teams like Charlotte never get generational picks despite being the worst franchise for 35 years.
Europe is so great, until you visit it and find out the truth. Coach pop has enough money to move there and live out his years, why is he still living in the u.s. and crapping on our country every chance he gets.
You know the reporter says that noone since LeBron has had this much hype but i disagree with that . Every year theres a player they try to put hype on and we forget about that because alot of them dont live up to it. Look at Zion he had massive hype but because hes really not had the chance to show that much because of injuries every one forgets . Like i said every year they try to hype a player but none of them ebe pan out .
74 years old long live the greatest basketball coach ever
Phil Jackson is 78

Proceed to sign another 10 year deal 😂😂😂
stay healthy coach pop. we love you
Pop is the greatest, I just love his stance on about everything.

"All day"? Man you must have a depressing life
Lmaoo " I love me some pop"😂😂

Wemby has me speechless. We’ve never seen anything like this: STYLE AND FORM for a 7-footer that is actually easy on the eyes.
"More cultured, more civil" indeed.
Wish that all Coaches were as open and honest as coach Gregg P.

long live coach pop
firstly, great to see pop still around while getting old, 2ndly, have fun and good lock with new prospect.
Pops for President!

Pops when mentioned the Greats Kobe, Magic, Bird fundamentally sound !
Legend…
Pop's dancing a Jig in his head, never let them see you happy !
living legend!!
GcOAT (greatest coach of all time) 🐐
I live in Charlotte. Really want 5he Hornets to be good. Would have loved Wemby. But i am happy for Pop to get another great piece to build around
Let's be honest, Wemby would have busted in Charlotte. No hate but for now it might well be the worst organization in the league.
POP is the GOAT. He wouldve had 15 rings with the talent Phil Jackson had.
Pop looks like a King in a movie... or in real life.
Not a Spurs fan, but I believe he will see another chip before he finally hangs up his Spurs.
Pop will now become a great coach again!!!
He never stopped being great…
❤ Coach Pop
American players need to elevate their consciousness and become more aware of the larger world. AAU should start teaching this early.
American culture could benefit from a makeover. We are mistrustful of learning too much about the rest of the planet.
CANT WAIT -- Bart Scott 2011
Imagine if Sudan had as solid of a basketball program? We'd have a league full of Wembanyama's.
Wemby is a combination of Timmy,Tony,Manu and David. Then you sprinkle in the 3 ball like Patty. This is about to get crazy…
He already got game; I would like to see him get some old school moves like. The "sky hook" Tim Dunkin backboard shots...he already got Gervin finger roll...so 🤗👍
Pop is awesome.
13:06 lol serious coach said this with straight face💀-
can imagine this player filling in over the years like Giannis did, that would be scary
If Wembanyama masters himself the skyhook like Kareem did, he'll be unstoppable during the rest of his career.
