Over the last couple of decades, two teams in professional sports have stood above all others: the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs and NFL’s New England Patriots. This had led to a constant barrage of comparisons, and some of the similarities are impossible to ignore.
They are led by Gregg Popovich and Bill Belichick: two notorious old curmudgeons who are the best coaches in their respective business and share a similar disdain for the media. Both franchises have also followed the same superstar, Tim Duncan and Tom Brady, to five championships in that same time span.
