Happy birthday, Pop

He may be older than the two oldest Spurs combined (Thaddeus Young and Doug McDermott). He may be older than the three youngest members of the Silver & Black (Tre Jones, Devin Vassell, and Josh Primo — all born this millennia), 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.

You can love him or hate him. Whether you agree with his politics or are a card-carrying member of “shut up and coach” club.
