Admitting to one's own mistakes definitely deserves a lot of respect. Sadly enough it gets quite rare in this age of humanity, many people in position of making a difference neglect it completely 👤
This is why I believe pop is the best coach I'm NBA history. How often do you get a 60ish year old man who is willing to admit he needs to change his mindset. Shit, my 40 year old parents are even set in their ways. Greg pops a 🐐🐐
Ofcourse he has his way but this wouldn't be the first time he had to make a change. He said he had trouble with Manu too, but it was when he start letting him do what Manu does that he began to flourish. It helped him to embrace that role coming off the bench.
Jerry Huang right. And that can be tough for a successful old coach to think his way is best. Look at Phil jackson, still stuck in the triangle when it's clearly outdated.
Coach Pop is an all time great coach. Maybe even the GOAT. His ability to adapt and make use of limited talent is unmatched. Aldridge has been really underwhelming as a Spur, but Pop still manages to figure out how to get the spurs on track to win 55+ games
Hes also has shaped a team of mostly overseas players into nba champions 5x . Were as phil jackson has had mj and kobe to rely on . Hell yea theres no question he is the goat 🐐🐐🐐
Say wat yall say abt lamarcus but this guy been top 5 foward for over a decade! Come up short in the playoffs true, he a scoring power foward frm a different generation (80's) aint no scrub, jus had bad luck like so many other great players
Nice to hear stories like these in NBA, hope the best for Aldridge and Pop for the respect and honesty. A breathe of fresh air from other NBA news where its always either, Lebron, Lonzo, Lavar, Cavs, Celtics, GWS or Lakers.
"That's what great coaches do. They are willing able to adjust to situations and their players." Byron Scott saying that is quite ironic lol. A guy who coached a Lakers team of a bunch of guards, wings and an old Carlos Boozer in the modern era...and insisted against shooting 3s.
Chauntrell Wright I know and he's not wrong in what he's saying, it's just ironic that he'd say that since he himself seemed unwilling to do just that.
I would take KD to. Probably the best 2 way player. An offensive juggernaut and willing to learn and get better. Kawhi and KD would be a monster. He isn't ready to let TP go yet either and KD is the most relevant when it comes to switching teams.
J-Strokes KD is almost on par with Kawhi as a two way player but I still give Kawhi the defensive edge. Kevin is the best offensive package since Kobe Bryant. He has got everything, he can drive trough, he can pull up from three, midrange, turnaround jumpers, whatever this dude does it all on the offensive end of the floor. Him and Kawhi on a team would be an instant killer for everybody. Both are willing to share the ball and can play off ball at such a great level. It would totally fit the Spurs system.
I hated when he left portland to go to the spurs...I knew they were just gonna make him a system player and take away what he was so great at..he was dominant in portland and was so much more fun to watch especially with dame and that team. I would've loved to see that team compete for a few more years with their roster.
OfficialRelyseMusic but he wasn't gonna go no where with Portland even with there roster right now plus adding LMA Portland still wouldn't have as good of a chance with LMA on the spurs vs the warriors
I don't think the sudden improvement of LA is much to do with Pop to be honest, I think LA is just getting more shots and he is a number 1 option right now like he was in Portland because Kawhi is out otherwise he would be having the same type of season he had in the past 2 years but it's still really impressive that Pop, an all time great coach, is so willing to adapt
This is what makes Pop the GOAT coach in my eyes. He adapts to his players and changes his system accordingly to his players and to the era. Not like Phil Jackson, who needed a very specific set of players to make his meme system work. Pop has adapted from a 4/5-centric defensive minded team, to using his guards, to strong pick and roll, to 3 point shooting, to using a forward to run his offense.
The Spurs have literally had bums this season besides Aldridge and yet they're number 3 in the West which is just fucking ridiculous. Kawhi has played like 3 games. Tony Parker has barely played. Danny Green has barely played but they still keep winning with a bunch of scrubs. Shows how good of a coach Pop is. Imagine if Pop had the Cavs roster and think what he would do with them.
Rachel Nichols is probably the most professional, smartest, knowledgeable Sports Journalist on TV. She gets it. She's fair, she's unbiased and she leads a great discussion.
You need lotion KY Jelly Thirty much like some dudes in ESPN. I guess some players and famous peeps get busted for sexual harassment so that open doors for all the Tom, Dicks & Harrys out there to talk all this ish.....
Its extremly rare for a man to own up to doing things the wrong way, especially at his age. Most people in his position would rather lose & blame the player than change to help win. Rare indeed but, not a surprise from him.
How Lonzo stacks up against every other point guard taken in the lottery in RPM: Lonzo (+0.87) Ntilikina (-2.29) Fultz (-2.82) (4 G) DSJ (-2.89) Fox (-5.40)
Hell yeah, you gotta have plays that you know your players will succeed with, like in football you cant do the read option with a slow QB but some coaches still do that and it fails miserably and they don't want to change the plays
Pops is the greatest coach of all time. His teams have maintained a top 4 seed in the toughest conference of his time, most wins over his coaching career than any other coach, 5 Finals wins. Has COTY awards. It looks to me that Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Ginobili, Bowen, and Kawhi benefitted more from Pops, whereas Phil Jackson benefitted more from having MJ, Pippen, Rodman, Grant, Kerr, Armstrong, Kukoc, Shaq, Kobe, Gasol, Odom, etc.
I can still see the problem. I was at the Spurs/kings game 1/8. Although LA made his first 5 basket, he was still getting the ball only 1/4 possession which was confusing me. I would of went to him every other play cause he was eating the kings
It should not have taken a Coach 2 years to figure out why LaMarcus was not playing well. Pat Riley figured things out during a game with Magic and Kareem. Riley did not wait 2 years to put Magic at Center to win a Championship in his rookie year. Pop was too focused on having LaMarcus fit the style of Kawai. In Portland, LaMarcus had game.
If only corporations in the United States would act like how can we make this job better for you, since you are making us rich, so that not only you can get some more money, but our company can flourish. Pop is one of the greatest coaches in the NBA.
So, coach Pop admits he wasted 2 years of having Aldrige on the team by doing the wrong thing and never figuring it out on his own and they praise him as if the exact opposite was the case? FFS.
At least Byron Scott knows that he's not a great coach. That last stint with the Lakers was painful to watch. He over coached, threw his players under the bus and never listened or ever had a discussion with his players.
Pop probably knew that the team was not gonna do well in 2016 with the injuries. If Aldridge's stats exploded, he was gonna ask for a big contract. So he intentionally placed Aldridge in positions he didn't like, and he did awful. And then they had that deep conversation to convince him to sign that contract extension cheap.
It's great when grown men act like GROWN MEN.

comment of the day lmao

Made me laugh
+Round Robin relax smartass
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Pop a OG what else u expect.
Nothin' less. I had been known this issue. I'm really glad that he recognized it.
This is why I believe pop is the best coach I'm NBA history. How often do you get a 60ish year old man who is willing to admit he needs to change his mindset. Shit, my 40 year old parents are even set in their ways. Greg pops a 🐐🐐

Jerry Huang right. And that can be tough for a successful old coach to think his way is best. Look at Phil jackson, still stuck in the triangle when it's clearly outdated.
I think people bring up the triangle offense too much. The only real issue was that Phil was trying to be the coach when that wasn't his job.

Coach Pop is an all time great coach. Maybe even the GOAT. His ability to adapt and make use of limited talent is unmatched. Aldridge has been really underwhelming as a Spur, but Pop still manages to figure out how to get the spurs on track to win 55+ games
Derrick Andresol actually this year he's been a monster. I mean the dude is going off I'm surprised he hasn't been mentioned lmao.
Hes also has shaped a team of mostly overseas players into nba champions 5x . Were as phil jackson has had mj and kobe to rely on . Hell yea theres no question he is the goat 🐐🐐🐐
And how he took a 28th pick and a 57th pick and turned them into franchise players and future hall of famers
Pop had Duncan, the best power forward of all time.
Kevin Durant's fake back up account. He’s a dick head that gives the coach all the credit
Pop is low-key turning Aldridge into mini Duncan respect
Professor X yea he was but he's gotta let Aldridge be himself
I wish my high school coach is more like pop. Willing to change and admitting his mistakes
Ben Luck ben luck would be dunking on lonzo ball today, only if he could've overcame that darn high school coach
mike mike lmao
Ben Luck fax
cheerleader coach right?
Ben Luck
I wish your high school was too man.
finally a real topic
Nakib Has for real tho
Pop is the 🐐
Say wat yall say abt lamarcus but this guy been top 5 foward for over a decade! Come up short in the playoffs true, he a scoring power foward frm a different generation (80's) aint no scrub, jus had bad luck like so many other great players
Zander Forever bad luck?
yea... brandon roy and oden's injury..
This woman is a snack
Pervert! 🤣😂😂🤣
Disagree, Molly
Medicine Medicine Nah, not really fucker.
Rachel is Bae😍🙌🏿
na, she annoying af! her voice is just irritating and loves to talk over her guests.
Why are the comments acting like Aldridge hasn’t been balling this season?
Stuck in last seasons
Vincent he was in comparison to what you Aldridge is capable of. Realistically, he was still pretty good the past years on the Spurs.
Not in the playoffs
I'm coming to San Antonio next year to make y'all beautiful again
LeBeautiful James stay beautiful man
we don’t need you
Klyzm Would be nice though
Klyzm Lmao if Lebron knocks on your door, you bet your ass you answer
Klyzm if you don’t want a championship then okay
Uh oh... Aldridge just figured out Coach Pop. They're about to get cozy and become dangerous when Kawhi gets back right.
Rache Nicols' good looks and basketball knowledge make it really hard to watch this show with my pants on
SuperPunch76 I’m married lol its a joke not a dick don’t take it so hard
Legendary. This made me snort.
Wearing a choker is the universal sign for "I like anal".

Nice to hear stories like these in NBA, hope the best for Aldridge and Pop for the respect and honesty. A breathe of fresh air from other NBA news where its always either, Lebron, Lonzo, Lavar, Cavs, Celtics, GWS or Lakers.
rice upvote this^^^
This is what lebron missed in his career
This old news he's been saying that he over coach him
Rachel looking like a snack 💥
Facts
Yo 333 bro she kinda ugly
TheKmoney265 you’d smash tho so it’s cool

Pop is a genius. Aldridge wants a trade and Pop says wait until we can get your trade value up again. Haha
Lokii you think la is gonna get traded?
K Woosh Shit 2018 draft has so many stars id trade Aldridge for a pick
Coach admits he's wrong?.. GOAT Behavior 🐐
Pop said KD not Lebron. That's interesting.
Ahmet Akgün that's because a KD trade is more realistic...
KD was a free agent back then
KD fit better in the Spurs system then LeBron
I would take KD to. Probably the best 2 way player. An offensive juggernaut and willing to learn and get better. Kawhi and KD would be a monster. He isn't ready to let TP go yet either and KD is the most relevant when it comes to switching teams.
J-Strokes KD is almost on par with Kawhi as a two way player but I still give Kawhi the defensive edge. Kevin is the best offensive package since Kobe Bryant.

Rachel is one of the best sports analysts in the game 💪🏽
Does pop need to be president???
David Lee i vote him to be KING OF THE WORLD
So that's why Chris Paul is getting into the face of everybody! That Byron Scott 👊
Willing to change is so major!
I hated when he left portland to go to the spurs...I knew they were just gonna make him a system player and take away what he was so great at..he was dominant in portland and was so much more fun to watch especially with dame and that team. I would've loved to see that team compete for a few more years with their roster.
OfficialRelyseMusic yeah me too. He was better there.
OfficialRelyseMusic but he wasn't gonna go no where with Portland even with there roster right now plus adding LMA Portland still wouldn't have as good of a chance with LMA on the spurs vs the warriors
I don't think the sudden improvement of LA is much to do with Pop to be honest, I think LA is just getting more shots and he is a number 1 option right now like he was in Portland because Kawhi is out otherwise he would be having the same type of season he had in the past 2 years but it's still really impressive that Pop, an all time great coach, is so willing to adapt
I thought abridge can't play up to the level no more from last year's performance. This year he's getting votes to be an Allstar. Hell of a ride.
Rachel you're lookin good
her intro's r too damn long
Shuey Stimler 3min is to long ... talk about inpatient
Shuey Stimler disagree. She doing better than most.
they too damn thiccc
she is annoying and Looks very average
Shanks you're bugging
I love how tracy stops looking at his phone to get into the interview

The Spurs have literally had bums this season besides Aldridge and yet they're number 3 in the West which is just fucking ridiculous.
Kawhi has played like 3 games.
Tony Parker has barely played.
Danny Green has barely played but they still keep winning with a bunch of scrubs.
Shows how good of a coach Pop is. Imagine if Pop had the Cavs roster and think what he would do with them.
Everything about this segment is great
Rachel Nichols is probably the most professional, smartest, knowledgeable Sports Journalist on TV. She gets it. She's fair, she's unbiased and she leads a great discussion.
Jimmy Butler, Wiggins, KAT, Lebron, Cousins, and Trae Young. Going to be lit.
Turn the volume up on your uploads please
As great as coach pop... he still admits he still mistakes... truly humble :)
That explains a lot , I gave up on Aldridge , he's been having a great year I'm hoping this year it continues in the playoffs
Pop is da GOAT in coaching. Win Lose Draw. N im a bulls fan. Its not even close. Pop = Respect.
survival of the most adaptable/flexible. This is why pop is GOAT.
Hate him or love him, you can't deny POP is the GOAT of coaches in the NBA
very well said. This video is really good.
Best report from nba news in years👍
Rachel Nichols is beautiful.. and smart.. and insightful.. and sexy ass voice..lol. Perfect package
Editor Account want some water ?
You need lotion
KY Jelly
Thirty much like some dudes in ESPN.
I guess some players and famous peeps get busted for sexual harassment so that open doors for all the Tom, Dicks & Harrys out there to talk all this ish.....
Can't believe she's 44
E-hab Lali 👍
How is she not married?
Rachel is mad weird. I can’t explain it... just her expressions
looks like a stone cold freak though
MIDNightPT4 her expressions seem too forced, too many hand gestures lol. I thought i was the only one!
She my wife
You’re not sure what I was going running to see if I had to do that
Its extremly rare for a man to own up to doing things the wrong way, especially at his age. Most people in his position would rather lose & blame the player than change to help win. Rare indeed but, not a surprise from him.
This is one of the many reason why
Pop is the Goat
How Lonzo stacks up against every other point guard taken in the lottery in RPM:
Lonzo (+0.87)
Ntilikina (-2.29)
Fultz (-2.82) (4 G)
DSJ (-2.89)
Fox (-5.40)
what is rpm
dominik matić real plus minus. The most reputable advanced stat out there.
Nice piece
Hell yeah, you gotta have plays that you know your players will succeed with, like in football you cant do the read option with a slow QB but some coaches still do that and it fails miserably and they don't want to change the plays
Pop will always be my hero
Popovich is the best active coach in the NBA right now!
Great story
Pops is the greatest coach of all time. His teams have maintained a top 4 seed in the toughest conference of his time, most wins over his coaching career than any other coach, 5 Finals wins. Has COTY awards. It looks to me that Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Ginobili, Bowen, and Kawhi benefitted more from Pops, whereas Phil Jackson benefitted more from having MJ, Pippen, Rodman, Grant, Kerr, Armstrong, Kukoc, Shaq, Kobe, Gasol, Odom, etc.
Pop is the GOAT hands down all time
It was when Pop stopped coaching Manu he was then able to flourish.
Popovich is the best coach ever in my eyes.
I can still see the problem. I was at the Spurs/kings game 1/8. Although LA made his first 5 basket, he was still getting the ball only 1/4 possession which was confusing me. I would of went to him every other play cause he was eating the kings
You gotta love Pop! 💛
Damn i love rachel
Pop is an awesome human being
Steph Curry's ankles are made out of gingerbread. Kawhi's entire body is made out of taco shells.
Your Angry Friend LMAO Gingerbread 😂
Its only this year and the end of last hes been injured. Why people think hes always injured is beyond me.
right, i swear yall got me thinking this man been hurt for like past 2-3 seasons ;;D
Zaza pacheapshot
young papi Zaza Pagoat
Aldridge would be good fit in cavs. play free iso plays. No 'Overcoaching' in Cavs
It should not have taken a Coach 2 years to figure out why LaMarcus was not playing well.
Pat Riley figured things out during a game with Magic and Kareem. Riley did not wait 2 years to put Magic at Center to win a Championship in his rookie year. Pop was too focused on having LaMarcus fit the style of Kawai. In Portland, LaMarcus had game.
Pop is the #goat in all of sports......
Not a Spurs fan but Pop is a legend!!
If only corporations in the United States would act like how can we make this job better for you, since you are making us rich, so that not only you can get some more money, but our company can flourish. Pop is one of the greatest coaches in the NBA.
Byron Scott talking bout adapting as a coach meanwhile his coaching has been outdated for years, if you want your team to suck and tank.. hire him.
So, coach Pop admits he wasted 2 years of having Aldrige on the team by doing the wrong thing and never figuring it out on his own and they praise him as if the exact opposite was the case? FFS.
When 90% of the comments are about Rachel and 10% about pop
Wasn't this news at the start of the season?
Rachel is the real MVP
4:48 Phil Jackson not Pat Riley
Pop the best coach ever
Pop: humility, leadership, Alridge: acting like an adult. Spurs Iam not a fan but much respek tho
At least Byron Scott knows that he's not a great coach. That last stint with the Lakers was painful to watch. He over coached, threw his players under the bus and never listened or ever had a discussion with his players.
I guess this is why the Spurs are basically unstoppable over 3 decades.
Doc CP3 and Griffin learn from this lol
Rachel Nicols speaks in Comic Sans
Pop is The GOAT....
He said KD like talent, Obviously KD is more talented offensive and at 7 feet he can be better defender too. Don't twist pop's words
Rachel Nichols is basically my 2nd fav person on ESPN basketball coverage, next to Jalen Rose lol
Pop probably knew that the team was not gonna do well in 2016 with the injuries. If Aldridge's stats exploded, he was gonna ask for a big contract. So he intentionally placed Aldridge in positions he didn't like, and he did awful. And then they had that deep conversation to convince him to sign that contract extension cheap.
probaply pop should sit down and have the same kandle light dinner with kawih aswell
What is Coach Scott talking about? He’s not that kind of coach! He is the my way or the highway kind of coach!
A true MAN
And he from the hood straight out of south dallas D town
"No"? TMac you played for Pop, too :P
how did actually they figured the thing out, sitting?
I hate Rachel Nichols speach before she let the legend's talk.
It's called talking like Men.
pop is smart...he's planning to trade lamarcus and wants descent compensation.....he's just planting seeds right now
Best FEMALE nba reporter in the game--- with her insight, Rachel Nichols is a top reporter no matter gender (athletes excluded)
When Pop talk you listen The End
Lol sometimes coaches need to take a step back and let the players adjust their game they’re not just puppets
This is what the Cavs needed to do for Kyrie
