2014
2014 the beautiful game
2012 give me some Nasty!
2007 versatility vs Phoenix
2005 epic showdown with Pistons
2003 death to the Flamers
2006 He told the team not to foul. Manu.
1999 rolling the ball out to Timmy Duncan
1995 couping the team from Bob Hill
The year he went to St Croix and convinced Tim to spend his entire career in San Antonio.
The "I want some nasty" season
The season of 6
The coaching was so good he even outcoached himself.
2003 and 2014. The 2003 team was one of the least talented basketball teams to ever win a championship in NBA history. It was Duncan and a bunch of flawed role players. Everyone else on the team was either too young and raw and inconsistent (well before their prime), or old and broken and way past their prime.
2014 is the best coaching Job I have ever seen in a game of basketball.
What the Spurs accomplished in 2003 was mainly due to how great Tim was. 2014 is easily Pop's best year. It would've been easy to leave and just say 'we had a good run' after 2013 but Pop's (and the entire team's) hunger resulted into some of the best basketball ever and redemption.
2014 is the obvious choice, but I voted 2005 because it was the hardest championship the Spurs won. To coach a team through long, epic playoff series against very different opponents (an offensive powerhouse in Phoenix and a defensive powerhouse in Detroit) is technically the most impressive thing he ever did.
Obviously---2013. He talked 'em right out of your 1st 5th.
^^
Kirby leaves the team
Instantly Lakes are better
Dale wets his mumu
Honorable mention tbh
Lol i chuckled.
Not to mention pesky, solid teams in Denver and Seattle who had given us huge fits and split us 2-2 each in the regular season.
2013 would have been splendid with all your teams injury alas one boneheaded decision erased it from memory
2014 (winning with YMCA ball and resting old guys all season until the Finals), then 2007 (having team defense/Bruce turn LeBron into Nick Young), 2005 (beating the probably better Pistons in game 7 after being curbstomped a few times that series)
They got backdoor swept that year. Not memorable at all.
easily 2011. the brilliance of having dejuan blair and matt bonner play heavy minutes against gasol and randolph while splitter sat on the bench... unimaginable
Some of you Sniffers are getting bogged down in negativity.
Let's have some love for Pop.
