Yes, Pop has won more games than any other coach in NBA history, but he’s also influenced more NBA careers than possibly anyone ever.
Gregg Popovich just recorded his 1,336th win as an NBA coach—a number that somehow sounds even more amazing when you say each part out loud.
One thousand, three hundred and thirty-six.
It’s a big number, a weighty number. The most wins by any coach who has roamed an NBA sideline in its 75-year existence. More than Phil Jackson or Red Auerbach, more than Pat Riley or Lenny Wilkens.
