My first piece on Pounding the Rock was published on October 14, 2014, entitled “When I coached against Gregg Popovich.” Which means today is my fifth anniversary with PtR. Wow.
I have very few rules I strictly follow, but this is one of them: Whenever I have the fifth year anniversary of my very first piece on Pounding the Rock, I put together a highlight reel of lines from those five years. These are my favorites.
The first is from a random Spurs game in Sacramento in 2016, when Pop was about to pass Larry Brown on the all-time win list.
