Over the years and due to the inevitable renewal, the Spurs stopped being candidates for the title, but in San Antonio they manage to continue making history and this time it is their eternal coach, Gregg Popovich, who gets the honor of becoming the coach with the most regular season wins in NBA history.
He beat Don Nelson
Pop had already equaled the record that belonged to Don Nelson, a victory was enough for him to remain alone at the top and his boys gave him that victory by beating the Utah Jazz with a score of 104-102. Thus, with his team, in his arena and with the support of his fans, Gregg Popovich reached his 1,336th victory plus what he accumulates in it and what he decides his career will last.
The congratulations were immediate, some of his former players such as Manu Ginóbili, Tony Parker or David Robinson, expressed their admiration and other stars such as LeBron James or Trae Young who did not forget Luis joined.
