the way Popovich built the Spurs

[SkillClash]

the greatest team building of all time, a long project that he build with proficiency and confidence..

he can take any team and give him a few years and its golden

he the GOAT coach no doubt

Assuming he's able to get the #1 pick and draft the greatest big man of his generation, then sure.

If the Celtics get that #1 pick and the Spurs end up with Keith Van Horn instead we wouldn't even have discussions about Popovich in 2014.

Duncan greater then Shaq

But then they get a top 10 pick the next year and take Dirk and Pop is still relevant in 2014....he woulda found a way no matter what

It's debatable; I actually have Shaq above Duncan but I used this for argument's sake.

Yeah, they get a top 10 pick and choose Dirk, and I guarantee he doesn't have the same success he did here. But it's an argument just for argument's sake, there's really no way we'll ever know.

Yeah it's well known Pop doesn't develop foreigners well...

Eh I want to see him do it without Duncan first.

One of the more underrated things that doesn't get mentioned...and what makes Pop one of the GOAT coaches...if not the outright GOAT coach...is that he took a team that was not very good offensively (parker couldn't shoot...bowen could only make a shot from the corner 3...anytime francisco elson is even on your roster...your roster is not very good) and transitioned the spurs to an up tempo team that is all passing, cuts, and 3's...

Spurs played at one of the slowest if not the outright slowest pace in the league for years with duncan...and now they play at one of the fastest paces in the league...with duncan...

Same core players...completely different system...and made them even more effective...

Dude literally turned the Spurs into what the Suns were trying to be during the nash years

And he and RC BUILT that shyt...they cut Danny Green twice...didn't play mills much cause he was to out of shape last year...didn't give up on splitter when he was trash...and spurs fans can tell you...splitter WAS TRASH is first 2 years...

That is why I don't get the Pop vs Phil comparisons...for all his greatness...phil only knows how to coach one way...and only knows how to coach one system...shyt Phil can't even teach that system...Phil only ever pursued 2 coaches...both of which who already played in that system...cause phil knows he himself cannot teach that shyt to somebody who doesn't know it already...phil can only ever target players who can fit into the triangle...which will fail horribly in new york...cause you need big men who can pass very well and there probably aren't 10 of them in the league...chandlier and amare are definitely not on that list...

Meanwhile Pop is like...overweight underachieving point guard / power forward cut by the bobcats...give him to me I can work with that...dude we cut 2 times already...bring him back i can turn him into a weapon...7 foot brazillian man who hardly ever finishes with force...yeah we will give him 10 mil a year and make him important...UNDERSIZED POWER FORWARD COMING OUT OF COLLEGE...YEAH I WILL MAKE HIM A SMALL FORWARD...HAVE HIM LOOKING LIKE A STAR IN THE FINALS...AND MAKE HIM THE FACE OF MY FRANCHISE WITHOUT EVERY MENTIONING HOW HE KEEP DUSTY CORNROWS...



Pop could probably get 7 ppg...out of me

The only thing missing is him dusting off Austin Daye to drop 15 points on Sunday...and really...does anyone who watch the spurs think that is something pops wouldn't do?

close thread

He knows better. He already said when Duncan leaves, he leaves.

 

[HacksawJimThuggin]

to be fair, they tanked and landed the best PF of all time, which has a lot to do with his success. But you can't take anything away from him, he's the best NBA coach of all time IMO

yall better make Austin Daye into a baller

 

[Juven]

we dont know if pop did all that. You have the gm and the assistant coaches in the background putting in work. I used to think steve jobs did everything at apple

 

[who_better_than_me]

Lol. Stupid ass jokers saying pops would've drafted dirk when the only team in the top ten that showed huge interest in him was dallas. I refuse to think the spurs wouldn't have drafted kandiman or bibby....

If Shaq acts like a grown man, Duncan wouldn't have the career he has...
