What makes Gregg Popovich a great coach?
his ability to relate to his players away from basketball and coaching the human side of a person. he understands player's ability but he doesn't let his player lose themselves be you but follow his principles he's a heart to heart coach.
Everything
His sense of humor.
he gets the best out of all hes players 1 to 15 on the roster
Treating all of his players with the same standard.He demands the same effort and standards from his top man,to the last man on the bench.
Bron would look cool in the silver and black getting coached by pop is a once in a lifetime chance Bron should go there. they have a great system and Bron would play efficient basketball so he can play longer.
John Pestano exactly. He wouldnt have to expell so much energy
yeah i mean Bron said he wants to play long enough when his son gets to the league they can play together that would be cool father and son on the same team i don't think that will happen but it's possible. but for that to happen Bron would have play less min going forward be efficient. the load shouldn't be so much just go out there and do you're role in a limited game plan.
But it’s not happening now no way lebron going with no kawhi
Pop takes an average player and makes them into superstars Phil Jackson coaches superstars no comparison
Emerson Valle what average player did Pop make into a superstar? He takes average players and makes them legitimate contributors but every star he’s had already had star potential... he didn’t make Tim or David... he helped Kawhi, Tony, and Manu blossom but they were all very talented with high ceilings...
Jamal Wallace A guy like Tony Parker wouldn't have lasted as long as he did if it wasn't for Pop.
Of course all these guys have talent but you can say that about a lot of the league.
Since his first year in the league I knew Kawhi would be a future star but he surpassed expectations. He was a very raw player early on but he developed into a superstar partly because of the Spurs/Pop.
Jamal Wallace duh, everyone has talent in the NBA. Parker and manu would still be in the NBA but there is no way Parker or manu would be an all star without pop's coaching.
AgentJ2007 that’s not true... but whatever you say
Jamal Wallace dudes, it's a fact. You can't prove your statement. If Parker and Manu had such obvious talent, why did they get drafted so late? Why did no one else saw their talent but popovich did ? Popovich was the very few that could turn them into stars.
Popovich the Greatest Coach of All-Time
Nothing makes me happier than hearing Duncan and Pop stories...really was the ultimate team mate
I hope Pop gets Lebron. He'll definitely stick around as a HC.
Travis Releford LeBron not going to the Spurs since Kawhi want a trade
Lebron doesn’t like being coached
Lebron doesn't need some old guy who has never played the game to tell him what to do. Lebron should be coach AND player.
LeBron doesnt like those coaches "alpha male" types
OMG, can you even imagine how those two narcissist, ego maniacs could get along? I think they could get along about five minutes!
Anyone else really miss Cris Carter? I loved him with Nick
If LeBron goes to the Spurs, Pop will definitely stay.
Sorry to hear about your miscarriage Jackson. Keep your head up
Pop definitely is top 2 with either him or Phil J as the best coach of all time
TheNamesDitto Pat railey is better than Phil to me
this is like MJ and LeBron comparison. some said A some said B.
I don't want to disrespect Phil, because he had so much success, but there is a huge knock on him. He needed HOF to All Star level players to run his triangle offense, it stands to reason that he didn't really make the players that played for him better. When he was with the Knicks they were terrible. Not saying that they should have made a Finals or won a Finals, but they should have been better than they were and they weren't. I have to knock him for that. Greg Poppovich worked with different lineups and changed the lineups based on the team's lineup. He was able to adjust so easily and still come out on top. He further proved his legitimacy this year. One could argue he faced similar issues with Jackson in that he had to have All Stars to win. Well this year Leonard went down, Duncan is no longer with the team, and both Manu and Parker are complete shells. Aldridge was the only All Star he had, he took the Spurs to the playoffs with a dinged up roster in the stacked West. So I put Pop ahead of Jackson.
TheNamesDitto best comment in a minute. If pop had more rings I would pick him but Phil has won too many lmao
Akhmad Zulfikar Martha no bron aint top 3 even...
Jackson..."my wife had a miscarriage...."
Nick and Cris, "well Pop is......"
No regard for the man losing a child
Matej Bohinc that's what's wrong with the world...... no heart
I'm not gonna lie as a Spurs fan I feel a little heartbroken about Kawhi wanting to leave. I really believed that if Kawhi would stay with the Spurs Pop could draw Lebron in to play for the Spurs and make a legendary run.
I know I am 5 years late, but LeBron would have never joined the Spurs. He can't be LeGM with GM Pop.
Imagine kyrie, Klaw, Aldridge & bron on the spurs with pop & the deep bench they have.... that’s a deadly mix
Ronnie Cardoso what deep bench? 41 year old Ginobili and finished Parker?
But I wouldn't want Kyrie. Spurs don't need superstars like that. Sure I would like Lebron, but I still want to play team ball, and adding Kyrie would end that.
Ronnie Cardoso good luck Kawhi is gone lol. Everyones going to the Lakers.
User 01 yeah just heard right now lol oh well. I live in LA so I’m happy 😂😂
Ronnie Cardoso lol and that salary cap space?????
I think lebron will definitely consider going if pop is retiring... they have so much respect for each other that they would want to have at least one run together.
Would be great for Pop to retire on top as well.
Godspeed, KL, we shall see how you do in a different system.
Pop is the only guy that can win with D-Leaguers. GOAT coach without a doubt.
I'm jealous of CC's suit
I think pop would stay if LeBron comes think about it it's the best player and the best coach I'm sure pop would love it
I know this doesn't ruin Poppvich's history as a coach but it's ironic how this video came out then Kawhi wanna leave now 😂😂😂
Pop will keep coaching my team until he's dead...I dont care if he dies on the court😂
AS I STATED BEFORE POP WILL SEE THE SPURS TO THE TOP BEFORE RETIREMENT WITH OR WITHOUT KAWHI. 100% THE BEST COACH IN NBA HISTORY.
Probably not going to happen as far as the top but I agree with much of what you said.
I wonder what really happened. It cant go from a simple disagreement on diagnosis to wanting to be traded. Something happened. But I think Kawhi should go because alot of people will downplay his impact and say he is just a system player.
1:00 Misty over here 4 ya Steve. Rest in peace.
Pop is the best coach of all time in any sport
What about coaches that work outside America. Like Sir Alex or other olympic coaches who achieved more than Popovich.
I wish they would let Jenna talk more I like her point of views
Antonio Rouse the only reason she's on the show is ....the two points on her chest
What are y’all talking about ???? Ty lue is the best coach in nba history
Best assistant coach*
You are kidding, right?
Omar Pimentel Ty Lue isn't even the best coach on his team.
Tayina P yes I’m kidding
Y'all slow. Dude is trolling
Bron doesn't need Pop to get a ring. He needs a decent squad thay can compete. LbJ is already a professional and knows how to handle himself as a man.
They don't want LeBron & Pop together
Its a shame on Kawi, Where was his career without the Spurs? Do anybody think that he would have develop in the level of player he is in any other team? I don't think so
I love POPS GOAT
I love pop . Great coach
awkward cause Kawhi requested a trade a couple hours after the show.
Kawhi just demanded a trade boys
LeBron would never want to play for Coach Popovich. And, I don't think Coach Popovich would want to coach someone like LeBron.
Stephen Jackson should have his own show.. He ain't no Yes man for LBJ like the rest..
He didn't talked about Pop like that 6 months away.
OJay BLG what u mean?
Hot News he was talking about how much of a manipulater Pop always been. And how he likes to play all these little games with players.
Jax just seems like a two faced instigator honestly. He has always been jealous and angry that Pop chose Ginobili over him. I loved Jax but Manu was clearly better. Jax has never gotten over this.
I absolutely love Coach Pop, he’s definitely the third greatest coach all time behind Phil and Auerbach.
I use to like Jackson... now it's like he is always trying to prove to everyone how tough he is and how he struggled and over came tough times. Same ol story that gets old quick.
He turns Water into Gold no other coach can do that
LBJ will make Pop stay for whatever time...
Just heard Leonard wants out of San Antonio and prefers to be traded to the LA Lakers this is going to be a crazy off season
Good coach ...he never won back 2back or 3peated he made a major mistake up by at least 15 points and kept the his best player on the court instead of getting him some minutes to rest and he gets hurt.....
They have already said he plans to keep coaching past 2020.
6 years later….still coaching the team.
2021 and pop is still coaching
It's been a downhill ride since 2014↘
Slowly but sure it has....
Gregg Popogoat
Ginobili had enought talent to make it on his own, in fact it was him changing Pop's mine. He was already a GREAT talent and would have been a great talent without Pop...that fella always tries to find a way to diminish Ginobli, frankly quite blind dude
Victor Wembanyama!
LeSpurs
Spurs gang!
Well Parker is the last of his big 3, so popovich will probably coach until he’s done. Since he’s also president of basketball in San Antonio he may just take on the pat riley Miami Heat role.
Hard Left Turn Ginobili is still there.
TheCowboyfromhell87 I know, ginobili is older than Parker he’s obviously going to retire first.
I see him as pat riley type for spurs but who is going to be his coach. Ginobli?
Kawhi just demanded to be traded lol
Lmao Kawhi just asked for a trade
People, Nick Wright is married, that means every sentient being has a chance of finding someone...
Two words Tim Duncan
Pop is better than Phil for sure. I don't care that he has 10.
Why r comments turned off when u look up 2014 coach pop n Stephen Jackson 😂😂😂😂😂pop lame
#GOSPURSGO 🏀
Jackson should call Kawaii out for quitting and being soft.
mogtrader8 he’s not soft
LeBron can't play in Spurs system and I don't think they going to change for Old LeBron.
Spurs will be a different team when coach Pop leaves
Kawhi is out just asked for a trade lmao
Pop is great but his time has passed, if he had retired and let a younger coach take the team this wouldnt have happened, his military way of doing things does not fly with younger players of today who realize they are the ones with the power. Times change and what was great in the past it is not good today.
Me personally.
Welp Kawhi is out of San Antonio
Somehow every conversation ends up being about Lebron James with Nick Wright..
TheJayzGaming it was the same way witb MJ.....the best player at the time gets all the mouth work
True, but at the same time, why can't they just talk about the topic without bringing something outside of the topic. I swear Nick Wright is so annoying with that. Not everything is about LBJ, this segment is supposed to be about the Spurs and Pop.
Gabriel Carrasco LBJ is an upcoming free agent and the spurs are one of the possible places he may land and him coming to the spurs may sway Pop to continue coaching
Gabriel Carrasco I agree it gets annoying but LeBron going to the Spurs would definitely make Pop stay longer than expected. Which is why he brought it up.
stack only say that bec he got his ring under him. nice try fox. espn at least show poppy and kawai interaction where pop screams and kawai looking like he really don't want hear it! lol
Nick Wright, was he ever a basketball player? He talks like he thinks he knows everything and I don't believe most of what he says. What sport did he play professionally?
Guess Pops Going To Grave On The Bench 🤕
Why does he look exactly like George Flloyd?
Bill Russell = 11 rings
Michael Jordan = 6 rings
We all know who the GOAT is.
Phil Jackson = 11 rings
Greg Poppovich = 5 rings
We all know who the GHCOAT should be....
Why does this man Nick think he know so much about basketball..if we not talking about Lebron his comments about others are questionable
He can win 2 more championships with the spurs😄☝️
the title starts with stephen......more him less tom green look alike
How can Jackson speak highly when he says that pop and the front office told tp and Manu to call out kawhi? Which is it? I'm ok for either opinion but pick. Don't flip flop
So y stak didn’t say Greg told him to say to tell players that the players are better than him this nicca a liar
Yo Lebron to the Spurs. Just saying
WTF Just happened? Popp not past 2020? Kwahii wants out? WTF?!!!
Coaching for more than 20 years. Time to rest, Pop.
Coach til he dies
Do You all think everybody wants LeBron?
Pop ruined his legacy by getting involved in politics. He abandoned half of the Spurs fan base.
the moment Kawhi leave the spurs thats it for them no matter how good the coach is you cant take a bunch of scrubs to the promise land LOL
Simon what you taking about, they took a bunch of scrubs to the play offs!! Leonard only played 9 games. If any one can do it's pop
In the words of chroniclesofjudah144 only way Lebron comes to the spurs is if pop says your wokeness is more woke than my wokeness it’s your team... 😂 otherwise spurs not a good fit to me
First time i saw someone else who watches his videos lol
classicranger46 Spurs are a great fit. Despite the narrative people like to push, LeBron is a player that makes the right basketball play.
Like Stephen Jackson said, Pop loves that. Pop lets players make decisions on the court, and even draw up plays themselves.
There's a reason LeBron and Pop have so much respect for each other. They understand the game.
SanAntoBalla still I don’t think it would be a good fit but that’s my opinion we’re entitled to disagree
Dominique Robinson I watch all his videos lol
Lebron the GOAT
🤠💍💍💍💍💍☝️
