Pop is lucky to have guys around him that are willing to accept that they are imperfect, and that they need to be discplined rigorously (sp?).
I can't imagine Pop's way of coaching would be as successful with players like Shaq, MJ, and Pip. Too many egos. But, that is a testement of just how special everything is for us. The Spurs have an almost perfect team/organization. We've got the right mix of players, and the right coach, and I highly doubt if any team in the near or far future will ever be able to replicate that. Everybody on the team is right for eachother.
With that said, I think you've got to attribute a lot of Pops success to his players.
oh here i got a mouse-
Robert Horry has enough championship experience to know what he's talking about when it comes to Hall of Fame coaches, and he believes Gregg Popovich is better than Phil Jackson, according to The San Antonio Express-News.
Three of Horry's seven championship rings came under Jackson in Los Angeles.
"Phil wouldn't yell at the top dogs," Horry said. "Pop will yell at the top dogs, just like he yells at the bottom dogs. That's the biggest key. And Pop preaches defense a little more than Phil."
"If you'd have given Pop all the talent Phil had, I think he'd have more rings than Phil," Horry added.
Spurs scored 11 points in the third quarter. Somehow I don't think Fin is the one who doesn't get it...
