Exactly.
Pop should go be a pundit for MSNBC since politics is obviously his main passion.
I thought he was just hanging around for the all time wins record. But since he already accomplished that, not sure what his MO is now.
Selfishness. He knows that after basketball there's nothing else for him, he wants to drag this out as much as possible. He's, without a doubt, the worst coach in the NBA right now. I can't think of any other coach that handicaps his own team so blatantly as Pop.
^ That's fair
Pop led Team USA but ultimately his legacy is tied to Duncan. He held on too long and look what happened - Wemby fell in his lap.
In Pop's eyes the league is in transition with James/Curry also hanging on and the younger generation still without a definite face of the league. He probably believes he can quickly help Wembly turn into that and Spurs into a contender.
Pop is 74
Pete Carroll 72
Dusty Baker 74
Belichick 71
Saban 72
Krzyzewski retired at 74
Ofcourse I disagree with some of Popovich's out spoken views & behavior but he directly helped build what the Spurs brand is today. As long as he isn't hurting Wemby's development, I believe he deserves to call his shots.

The chance to coach one of the best prospects of all time?
He very well might have retired if we didn't win the lottery.
Well, now with Wemby I get him hanging around.
Thing is, Pop once said when Duncan retired he would be right behind him. Duncan retired in like 2016 and the Spurs have been pretty bad for most of that so it's been puzzling to me why he has hung around for all that time.
He made a promise to Lamarcus Aldridge to stick around when he signed with the Spurs in 2015. Then Pop's wife died in 2018. Had that not happened I think he would have retired after 2020-21 once Lamarcus had gone to Brookyln but doubt he wants to give up a coaching career to be retired alone. Plus he seems to really love this young team.
I'd ask you for quotes of you owning my ass on EVERY SINGLE forum of this site, but won't even bother because that's only a product of your creative imaginationDude, after all these years of me owning that ass of yours on every single forum of this site, you are still begging for more?
Told you to stop the circle jerk, 8 straight losses since you've created this threadIf I made this thread, it is for a reason. You really think we give a about losses or uneven performances here and there in his rookie season?FAP
Even if Wembanyama turns out be this transcendent superstar, he won't win by himself, just like any other superstar in league history. As of this moment, you don't even have anyone on your team that's even close to looking like a 2nd option on a playoff team.
Coaching that's not senile, the hard task of attracting quality free agents to Fat Antonio, drafting well, potential injuries to a body type that's well do ented to be injury prone.
There's too many variables and too much that can go wrong.
As you said, he wanted to break the wins record. That was just last year. I suppose he could've retired summer '22, but by then he already knew they had a shot at Wemby.
Do you really want me to search the Soccer forum posts?I'd ask you for quotes of you owning my ass on EVERY SINGLE forum of this site, but won't even bother because that's only a product of your creative imagination

Again, who gives a about losses this season? I made this thread because it is already obvious Wemby is great, that means the Spurs will be relevant for years to come (unless senile Pop runs the French out of town).
lol worst team in the nba
lol worse SRS than the 09-10 nets who won 12 games
lol manu > dirk
lol kawhi > lebron
lol murray > luka
lol now wemby > luka
being lectured as a grown adult on when you can or can't boo. This is a new level of sports fandom low tbh imho
who the are these re s?
Himself just making stuff up so that he can troll.
^facts
lol 14 game losing streak
Eh not sure. He might jet faster than Kawhi if this kind of losing goes beyond this year. They must attempt to seriously improve over the offseason.
lol fastest man to 20/20.
lol fastest to a 17 game losing streak
crazy that he has actually made the team worse, which was almost impossible.
Jinx thread at it’s finest
This is my next Messi=GOD thread, tbh. In 15 years time when Wemby is the GOAT I will be here ting on all of you with my superior intelect and just winning aura in life, tbh.
if that day comes, then you can enjoy it
meanwhile, enjoy 0-17 runs and your history of bad takes like manu>dirk or kawhi>lebron proving your inferior intellect and a losing aura in life
