What weird things has Popovich done in the NBA?

For most NBA teams, the stars are mostly their flags. There is a special team in the NBA, and the coach is the soul of the team. It has never changed its head coach in 20 years, and the NBA has never missed the playoffs in 20 years. I believe fans should know who it is. He is Popovich, a legendary head coach.

On January 29, Popovich celebrated his 69th birthday. Many stars sent blessings to this meritorious coach. James, the league’s number one player, also immediately expressed his gratitude to the old man. Send a wave of compliments. Fans who are familiar with Popovich should know that the old man has been coaching in the NBA for 20 years. In addition to his brilliant record, the old man has also done many weird things, which sometimes make people laugh and make NBA fans talk about it.

Unreasonable reasons for resting

When it comes to resting, the Spurs should be the one that comes to mind. This is also a tactic invented by Popovich, but for the NBA, there must be a reason for resting. And the reasons the old man gave for taking turns were always so nonsensical! Leonard was absent from the game in 2013, and the reason given by Pop was that he had a sudden toothache! Ginobili was absent from the game in 2015, and the reason given was hip tightness. What is the condition of hip tightness? What’s even weirder is Duncan. In 2011, Duncan missed the game due to mad cow disease (Mad Cow disease was what Pop said himself)! The editor really admires you for making up so many weird reasons!

The Finals MP was devolved to the Development League

Recently, the league has strictly inspected the rotation, and the Spurs have been given special attention, but this does not affect the Spurs' rotation plan at all. Parker returned from injury. In order to help Parker regain his form as soon as possible, Popovich directly sent Parker to the Development League. This decision of the old man also caused the NBA to explode. Unfortunately, Parker also became the first person in the NBA, the first Delegated to the Development League finals MP. I don’t know what Parker was feeling at that time. Is there a saying mmp that should be spoken or not?

The shark-cutting tactic in the first five seconds was actually a birthday gift to O'Neal

As the name suggests, the shark-cutting tactic was invented to limit O'Neal. Although it was not invented by Popovich, it was Popovich has his hands full. In the playoffs, Popovich implemented a shark-cutting tactic on O'Neal, which also made O'Neal quite angry. In the game between the Spurs and the Suns, Popovich started slashing at the shark just five seconds into the game. This made the fans and commentators at the time quite confused. Even O'Neal didn't know what was going on. When Popovich was on the sidelines, After giving a thumbs up, people suddenly understood, and the fans and commentators laughed heartily. In fact, it was O'Neal's birthday. Popovich gave O'Neal a special birthday gift, and the two of them laughed away their grudges.

Popovich has coached in the NBA for 20 years. We don’t know how long this old man can coach in the NBA. We can only say happy birthday to the old man who has brought us so much joy and laughter. !
