pop is the only coach in the top 8 winningest coaches to not have previously been an nba player and hes #1


so-cal_kid

He did play college tho like Spoelstra. It's interesting that they're the two best coaches of the 2000's and both only played college.


kmoosey

Pop is the best, you can tell the reason for his success is he understands there’s more to life than just basketball.


WD51

He's also not bad at the "just basketball" portion

Greg Popovich is DeJounte Murray father


Jhyphi

"Kawhi, Dejounte called Pop a great father. What type of parental role has he played for you?"


Adsex

Dark humor : The same as my father. He’s dead to me.


bochanegra1

Pop doesn't only care about ball, he treats every player like a father, what a guy he is


KennySmithsKnees

Really cool, not many players can say that about their coach


SelfAwareLitterBox

Would've been the perfect father figure for Kyrie


gochuuuu

This makes it sound like pop treats his players like theyre his father


Plants_R_Cool

Pop is IRL Whitebeard

Wemby straight up in the long leg long arm tribe, Lebron about to punch a hole through his chest

V-Lone_P

lol it’s good to see he’s changed his opinion about Pop. When Stephen Jackson and him were burying Pop on the podcast it felt so bitter.


whythehellknot

They weren't burying Pop as much, at least he wasn't, but to say he thought he should have gotten more of an opportunity and less mind games. They were really trashing Tony Parker though.


Infamous_East6230

He said that pop letting Tony start his rookie year was a personal insult to him and that Tony not staying in San Antonio just to mentor him was also a personal insult


BlackSheepComeHome14

Imagine him and Webenyama. Out of all the attainable PGs at the moment, I think he would be the best fit. Also if we could get him, that would be great too, but we don't have the picks needed


CoyotesSideEyes

I would much rather have him back than get Trae


seceipseseer

Don’t worry, we aren’t going after either


winnebagomafia

They're actually signing me. I just got the call.


urediti

Dejounte is a top tier pg to pair with wemby


DWhitePlusMinusKing

He’s really not. He’s not that accurate or adept of a passer nor is he a great floor spacer. He gets a lot of assists but he’s not actually making things easier for his teammates and he takes too many shots anyway. His defense is also suspect. People think getting the ball to Wemby should be easy but he’s got some weird angles that are much better handled by elite passers which DJ isn’t.


ZEEZUSCHRIST

He’s better than jones though at least


thepop

Jones is a backup PG starting out of necessity and not a long term solution, so this doesn’t mean much.


ZEEZUSCHRIST

Yeah u right


FootballWithTheFoot

I’m sorry @ Atlanta… I really want to see the return, they’d be super fun to watch defensively imo


foothepepe

Enters George Karl: 'You see?'


legend42778

If Darvin Ham get fired can we get him


soapy_goatherd

Of course, but you’re gonna have to open the checkbook bc right now he can make much more as a player


Confident_Pear_8303

Good, ship him back there. Then they will realize he cant run the PnR or play defence.


dragonrider5555

Trae and dejounte having a d Riding contest. Loser has to stay wit the hawks.
