How did Gregg Popovich become Gregg Popovich? (I know where babies come from that’s not what I’m talking about) What I mean is, how did he become the universally respected coach with 5 titles and more wins than any other coach in NBA history?
Well, it took a little bit of aimlessness, Larry Brown, Don Nelson, a pissed off Spurs fanbase, some good luck in the draft lottery, Europe, a fair amount of disrespect and doubters– you know what, it’s kind of hard to explain in list-form. Video-form? That works. We put Gregg Popovich into the Prism. Enjoy.

CLARAAAAAA!!!
My dad used to tell me about how unpopular pop was in his first season with the spurs and I never really could believe it. He said the joke going around the state at the time was that he needed to do what any good GM would fire the coach
One Derek Fisher shot with .4 left and one miracle Ray Allen 3 away from 7 championships in all likelihood.
Pop is my idol no doubt
PoppaGOAT
Clara is the real GOAT
The GOAT ? Really? Be serious… How can he be better than Zen Master Phil Jackson?
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.
Greg > Phil argue wit ya nanny
great episode just keep joe ali away from narrating anything he terrible
I LOVE YOU CLARA MORRIS!
And man who housed a domestic abuse victim (P.J. Carlesimo) for many years.
This is a great video and series 👍🏼
Why she say babies can’t do anything
Every single clara video is a treat
That's insane, I had no clue Pop got so much hate in his early career, I only know him as one of if not the best coach of all time.
Clara Morris should narrate every Secret Base video henceforth. I love the energy she brings every time
idk about being the Goat, Phil Jackson is the goat.
Loved your pacing throughout the vid. A+
Ehh Phil has what 10-11 rings and Pop never won back to back or three peated
Coach Pop GOAT
I can't see a coach that would've get the 2014 ring with that Spurs outside of Greg Popovich, he is the greatest basketball mind we've seen coaching a NBA team
Has my entire life been a lie and Manu is pronounced how she pronounced it? I've always said Maw-new.
I can now fully understand why Pop is aloof with the media and with interviews, unless the one interviewing him is a former player. Players understand Pop's style and mindset, whereas the media, who hasnt played a lick of basketball, vilified him before he could prove himself.
Is there any chance you guys would do a video on the history of the all time losing-est American sports franchise in the Philadelphia Phillies?
Talking about snakes… Man, Phil Jackson is a… well, snake!
Another banger.
At least 2 of Pop's Finals appearances were the direct result of decisions by David Stern and Tim Donaghy. Pop is Pop, but Pop is not Phil Jackson. To put the term "G.O.A.T." in this video's title is absolutely ignorant and ridiculous. If you all think his "most regular season wins in history" is somehow better than Phil's 11 championships, you are absolutely delusional.
Let's be real he's got 4 titles. And when it comes to NBA basketball…he and the spurs and Tim Duncan are at the bottom of the NBA greatness list.
Is it weird that this video makes me dislike Phil Jackson?
Clara is my favorite for these. Her storytelling is awesome and her jokes are funny 😄
What a great video, truly enjoyed the delivery and sarcasm.
Thank you.
"Good thing that was in print"
Thats a good one
what a dbag
He is good, but the GOAT? – no way, never…
As a fan of the spurs from before and after Pop. I don't understand how people could give him a hard time about 2001 when the officiating was so biased in favor of their new MJ.
Great video as always guys. Incredible job and I just love the basketball content.
