Seems like hes the clear reputation beneficiary with how the media has treated these guys...great org blah blah etc.

That 03 team was 90% TD, but its now just remebred mostly as a "team" effort.

You made a mistake there, the thread title should include Tony. I forgive you, though. People make mistakes.

To answer OP's question: No. Credit goes where credit is due.

Also, OP is an insecure whore.

Yeah, Duncan's prime has been largely forgotten by the media, who now pretend that the way the Spurs played from '12-'15 and to some extent, still do, is the way they've always played. Some also pretend he was only the go to guy for a few years and that he always played on good teams.

On the off chance that the OP is a serious question, the answer is NO.

The fact that Pop is getting a lot of attention today is that he had the wit to change his team's approach to scoring as his 'superstar' aged and could no longer carry the team by himself and that said change was so successful, it not only kept the Spurs on the top of the heap with respect to annual season wins and playoff appearances as Tim aged, but it spread throughout the NBA as the method for consistently superior performance.

Pop is ALWAYS giving props to his players, most especially Timmy over the years.

If it were not for Pop's requirement that players occasionally sit out and rest and that they only return after injury when the risk of re-injury is considerably lessened, the Spurs players you mentioned would not have careers as long as they have had. The length of their careers means more awards for the players, and increases their ties to Pop. Had Pop been like most coaches, Tim would have been burned out long ago, and Manu wouldn't be able to walk by this season, much less be a major contributor on a title contending team.

Why do you try to force everything into a zero-sum game? People have been talking about Pop lately because he was the coach of the All-Star game. When they are talking about Tim, they talk about him as the best power forward of all time. Kawhi is on the cover of Sports Illustrated right now. Manu is hurt so out of the limelight right now, but no-one in the mainstream sports media ever suggests that he is anything short of a shoe-in for first ballot Hall of Fame.

So - what, exactly, is your bitch about Pop?

Pop was a pretty average coach until 03 when he put in that motion offense instead of the 4-down every possession they ran in 02 that got them shredded by LA. That year was the first great coaching job of his career, and when he became an elite coach (though convincing Duncan to come back in 2000 was a pretty amazing move too).

I don't think he "hogs" the credit, but he's definitely the "representative" for the Spurs, from a media perspective(unlike virtually every other team, the player is typically the face)..Duncan is recognized as a legend and Kawhi receives a ton of praise as a top 5 player nowadays, but Pop is by far the most interesting of the Spurs, and the best sound bite for the media(Parker and Manu are great interviews, but Americans generally prefer their own kind)..

If you frequent many NBA media sources on the internet, it's evident that the majority of "new" fans believe Pop's "system" has been the key for the Spurs during this entire run..

Media does eat up everything Pop has to say. When People talk about the Spurs it starts from Pop to Duncan to Big three to Kawhi in that order. When in reality Kawhi is the single biggest reason we are doing this well. Star player's league.

It was still a lot of 4-Down in 03 though.

The ball moved better, but it was still a basic offense that relied almost entirely on Duncan either scoring one-on-one or kicking it out if doubled.

I agree with Harlem here. It's not like Pop goes out of his way to be SA's face (he always praises Tim/Kawhi/Manu/Tony etc).

People forget that Pop was super dependant on his stars in those stretch just as much any team depending on their superstars and even more.

When you said "astronomical", I think you used an adjective there.

To quantify you had to say something like: "3 out of 4 of the threads you get in and don't like are locked".

I expressed it as "astronomical". You got that?

Quantify is the verb used to put a quantity on something. You express something, and that something is a quantity.

Which is why I included this example:

Astronomical is an adjective you're assigning to the chances.

In the sentence above you said "chances" then "is" to describe the chances. You mixed up single and plural there.

It doesn't really matter that much. This is not an English board. But if you're not trolling this is one battle you actually can't win.

On the off chance that the OP is a serious question, the answer is NO.

The fact that Pop is getting a lot of attention today is that he had the wit to change his team's approach to scoring as his 'superstar' aged and could no longer carry the team by himself and that said change was so successful, it not only kept the Spurs on the top of the heap with respect to annual season wins and playoff appearances as Tim aged, but it spread throughout the NBA as the method for consistently superior performance.

Pop is ALWAYS giving props to his players, most especially Timmy over the years.

If it were not for Pop's requirement that players occasionally sit out and rest and that they only return after injury when the risk of re-injury is considerably lessened, the Spurs players you mentioned would not have careers as long as they have had. The length of their careers means more awards for the players, and increases their ties to Pop. Had Pop been like most coaches, Tim would have been burned out long ago, and Manu wouldn't be able to walk by this season, much less be a major contributor on a title contending team.

Why do you try to force everything into a zero-sum game? People have been talking about Pop lately because he was the coach of the All-Star game. When they are talking about Tim, they talk about him as the best power forward of all time. Kawhi is on the cover of Sports Illustrated right now. Manu is hurt so out of the limelight right now, but no-one in the mainstream sports media ever suggests that he is anything short of a shoe-in for first ballot Hall of Fame.

So - what, exactly, is your bitch about Pop?

I think is funny how you seemed polite the entire post, up until the last sentence.

Pop doesn't willingly hog any credit, and would probably be the first to credit Tim and Company for the Spurs' success, but if you're referring to the media lavishing more credit on Pop than he probably deserves, then I agree.

As Harlem said in earlier post, the "system" meme has gotten out of hand since 2014 (I also think Kevin Durant deserves some blame when he said "Kawhi is only doing work because of the system.")

There isn't a single systematic blueprint the Spurs have in some magic binder. Pop will design the offensive and defensive systems around the strengths of his core players. In the mid-00s, pretty much everything was built around Duncan. From 4 down to the corner 3 (which Pop indeed pioneered, but its sole purpose was to protect Duncan from double teams/punish teams when they double, as passing out of the low post to the corner is the easiest pass to make from the low block). And the lanes Parker and Manu had in those days were also a result of Duncan collapsing defenses and being the best sealer of all-time. And to the way the defense was designed to funnel wings into Duncan. You can take a look a the on/off numbers from that era, and the defensive rating plummeted when Duncan was off. A "system" implies plug-and-play, and it's not like you could've plugged in Menke Bateer and had similar results.

Pop revised the system post-08 as the league was moving toward a faster perimeter oriented, drive-and-kick game. Thus the Dick signing. Another revision took place in the "Beautiful Game," which was designed out of necessity, the necessity being able to counter elite teams like Miami and the Thunder who overmatched the Spurs athletically. Now we see it's being revised around the strengths of Kawhi and LMA.

Pop does indeed deserve credit for being smart in his revisions (unlike Phil Jackson, who forces the Triangle no matter the roster), but the players precede the system's design.
