That shyt works. Same thing Vlade did for players like Peja and Hedo in Sacramento. Help them be comfortable in their own skin and just focus on the game.

Stop trolling
Pop would have finessed some stupid team and got a crazy return for van horn
@duckbutta you are making some impeccable points I cannot disagree with....but breh while we respect Pop we gotta be rooting for the Black team 
dont u want Bron and Savannah to have another ring?

pop is a fukking GREAT coach. one of, if not, the best of all-time. i've never seen someone get so much out of so many throwaway players as pop has. i mean, you've gotta be pretty awesome if you can make fukking patty mills matter...in the finals, for fukk's sake. but at same time, we wouldn't be talking about him with such praise if they didn't have the drob injury/tank and get tim duncan, or their incredible draft record, or their brilliant trades/signings.
i've been saying this about the spurs for years...from top to bottom, they're one of the best organizations in sports history. they're all perfect together. from front office, to scouting, to coaching, to players on the floor...they not only all work in harmony but each moving part seems to get the best out of itself. that's why this small market franchise has been a such a powerful machine across 3 different decades now. it's amazing, really.

Countdown to Armageddon
I used to think this until the last couple years.
He completely revamped the team while keeping the same, aging core. Went from all defense to all offense. Won rings doing both. The big 3 played less minutes than any starters in the league this year and instead Pop has a team full of throwaway trash players out-dueling all-NBA names.
Astounding.

When you actually give your backups SIGNIFICANT playing time, that helps development too

this guy is putting on a coaching clinic against spo...last year he tried to get too cute and bit him in the ass, this year he's not tinkering with anything, just sending 10 guys every night who are chewing up spolestra's weak ass pick and roll blitzes with ease

Did these nikkas luck out with the tank job to land Duncan? Yes. But how do you explain this other shyt? 
Got Ginobili 57th overall in 1999
Tony Parker was selected 28th overall in 2001
They traded George Hill to nab Kawhi Leonard with the 15th pick
They saw something in these nikkas that nobody else did and they developed them as players who are among the best in the league
There's a reason the Spurs are perennial contenders and it's not just Timmy (although he's arguably the biggest reason)
There's a reason nikkas go to San Antonio and have their best years: Stephen Jackson, George Hill, Bruce Bowen, Boris Diaw, and many many more

If Pop can kill the heavy usage of isolations and basic PNR plays in the league by winning it all this way he goes down as the GOAT for this century.
Could you imagine if all 30 teams played this way?

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

the nba must find a way to keep lance stephenson from the spurs because if that happens you will watch the GOAT reckless player ever
It's hard to do if you first string ain't kicking ass. That's what I noticed with the Hawks. Coach Bud is an elite coach. I see why Pop always mentions him.
Except Richard Jefferson
