NBA历史上胜场最多的教练今天迎来了76岁生日
他的年龄比马刺队中年龄最大的两位球员（克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)和哈里森·巴恩斯(Harrison Barnes)）加起来还要大。他也比 银黑军团 中最年轻的三位成员（文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)、西迪(Sidy Cissoko)和斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)——他们都出生于2004年）的年龄加起来还要大，但是格雷格·波波维奇(Gregg Popovich)的小指里蕴含的篮球知识远超当今NBA的任何十名球员。
对于经常阅读《Pounding the Rock》的人来说，列举他的荣誉似乎是多余的。
自本赛季初以来，波波维奇就因轻度中风而缺席比赛。尽管他不在场边，但有报道称他一直与代理主教练米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)以及球队成员保持联系。
目前还没有波波维奇回归的官方时间表，但球迷们正在耐心等待。我们都爱这位NBA历史上胜场最多的教练，没有他，圣安东尼奥马刺就不是圣安东尼奥马刺。
球队的文化、人际关系、总冠军、团队至上的精神、他对球员的待遇、对教练的培养，甚至这座城市，如果没有他，都不会是现在的样子。为此，我们都应该心存感激。
生日快乐，波波维奇。我们爱你。
你最喜欢的“波波维奇”时刻是什么，无论是在场上还是场下？

Open Thread: Happy birthday to Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich
The winningest coach in NBA history turns 76 today
He’s older than the two oldest Spurs combined (CP3 and Harrison Barnes). He’s also older than the three youngest members of the Silver & Black (Wemby, Sidy, and Stephon Castle — all born in 2004), but the breadth of basketball knowledge contained in Gregg Popovich’s pinky finger far surpasses any ten players currently in the NBA.
A list of accolades seems redundant for anyone who reads Pounding the Rock with regularity.
Since early this season, Pop has been sidelined with a mild stroke. Although he hasn’t been on the sidelines, reports have shared he has been in touch with acting head coach Mitch Johnson as well as members of the team.
There’s no official timeline for Pop to return, but fans wait patiently. We all love the winningest coach in NBA history and the San Antonio Spurs would not be the San Antonio Spurs without him.
The culture of the team, the relationships, the championships, the team-first mentality, his treatment of players, development of coaches, even the city would not be the same without him. And for that, we should all be grateful.
Happy birthday, Pop. We love you.
