Pop done coaching Spurs; Johnson takes over
傳奇落幕!
Basketball Hall of Famer Gregg Popovich will no longer coach the San Antonio Spurs and is transitioning to a full-time role as the team's president of basketball operations, the team announced Friday.
Mitch Johnson, who was named acting head coach after Popovich suffered a mild stroke in November, now takes over head coaching duties on a permanent basis.
史上最多勝!Popovich, 76, began his Spurs career as an assistant coach under Larry Brown in 1988, serving in that role for four seasons before a brief stint under Don Nelson with the Golden State Warriors. He joined San Antonio's front office in 1994 and took over as head coach in December 1996, when, as general manager, he fired Bob Hill after a 3-15 start and took over on the bench. After San Antonio missed the playoffs that season and landed the No. 1 pick, taking Tim Duncan, Popovich led the Spurs to 22 consecutive playoff seasons from 1998 to 2019, including winning at least 50 games in 18 straight campaigns.
The legendary coach is the NBA's career wins leader with 1,422 regular-season victories and guided the team to five NBA championships. He is also a three-time NBA Coach of the Year winner, tied with Nelson and Pat Riley for the most in league history. He ranks third in career playoff wins as a coach and is one of five coaches to win at least five titles, along with Phil Jackson (11), Red Auerbach (nine), John Kundla (five) and Riley (five).
對我而言,他就是陪我看 NBA 最久的一位教練,一位令人尊敬的老爺爺!
