The best thing about Pop is that he pretends he doesn't care about anything but deep down he cares a great deal about everything.

​@@hooligan5381Here let me explain bud. There are certain facets to human being called characteristics. These may be personality related attributes, pieces of emotions that people channel in their own ways, or developed aspects of lifestyle which contribute to an person's identity. As you may already know, people come from different backgrounds, cultures, family virtues etc... These are big influences in how you present yourself to the world. Some may be common, others may be unique. So the point is that what's special about Coach Pop is that he may not look like he cares about much on the outside, but deep down he really cares 100%. ❤ I hope you understand now.

The best thing about pop is he has 5 rings.

Exact same feelings. An icon in every way possible on n off the court. If there’s anything media has positively is give us insight into the heart behind the heat. In the 90s and 2000s that other side didn’t really get as much spotlight

[@high-defRJ]

Never got to see Red Auerbach, but saw the greatness of Phil Jackson through Bulls and the Lakers, but Popovich is the best coach that has leadership, qualities of a great mentor, and knack of finding talent and utilizing their talent to be part of something big, whether it be finding talent overseas in Ginobili and Parker and making them into HOFers, or reaching out to an established WNBA basketball player to be part of the coaching staff. Underneath the cold stare that he gives sometimes is the man who cares and willing to help people succeed.
